does that mean that an all out debacle as happened at AAJ is less likely to occur here? Is this message I type here also posted to the .net forum? cool beans!

is that organissimo.net address supposed to be a secret? Is it a shadow world where all looks normal but where post suddenly show to contain messages of Lucifer the horned one when read backwards?

home is where the heart is and also where the forum can be accessed

true

schade, dass der Bursche seinen Kleingarten "Eden" damals aufgegeben hat. Es hätte so schön sein können...

the word I associate with this later (and actually much of the earlier work as well) is "truth."

you're welcome at any time. I'll make sure there's beer in the house.

After some webbrowsing, this is my guess for track 11

AMG link cduniverse link (has some samples)

that was a great track. I will keep my eyes open for this album.

I was thinking about these two singers too, but there wasn't enough characteristic of the second for me to guess her - as the soprano always lays out when she is heard I thought it might be a high pitched male singer doubling on soprano! You never know! so I wasn't the only one who was in doubt whether the second singer is male or female...

Definitely not from that one! wanna bet?

I just peeked in some time ago to check whether posting was already underway or whether everyone was still making silly remarks It was underway, so I thought I shouldn't take too long to write up my ideas. I am only writing down my guesses to the first disk and hope to return to the second disk soon (no peeking, I promise!) Overall, the set didn't quite gel with me. I did like most the selections, some of them a lot, others I didn't like at all, but overall the disk didn't grab me. Maybe it is also because I have been a little preoccupied with other things. Sorry for that Randy, I may have another go with a different basic feeling in my bones. disk 1 track 1. A tight big band from the be bop era or just after that. No clue who this might be. I discarded the possibility of Gillespie (althought the presence of latin percusion seems to point in his direction) because there is no trumpet solo. Are these two tenors or only one? Overall rather nice. track 2. Sounds like Woody Shaw, with Bartz and Tyner; electric bass. The tune may well be by Tyner; one of his 70s Milestone albums maybe? This is a bit too uptight for me to appreciate at the moment. track 3. The guy playing the doorbells is the leader. The one on ivory wrote the tune. Ode to the lamps in da hood. I like this very much, it functions well within its original album context, a little less so here IMHO. track 4. Cool beans! I rather like this, but have no idea who's playing. Sounds like some street dance-percussion band. Really cool to see those live somewhere when you least expect it. Bands like this have brought a lot of joy to the people. The alto has a nice tone. Overall, this being a recording and not a street concert, this does go on too long for my taste. track 5. Nice build up of tension. Mal Waldron springs to mind, but the left hand doesn't play dark enough IMHO (look at me go! as if I can really tell pianists apart...) The easiest point of critique would be that this all too repetitive. To me that seems exactly what this is about. Jusging it from within that stance, I must say I can probably get used to it. Another easy point of critique would be that this goes on way too long. As with track 4 I do have to concur with that and just like with track 4 I would probably be cheering very loud if I would hear this live. track 6. I do like the first voice, but do not like the second voice, nor combination of the two voices. I don't know why exactly, but I hear a lot of trickery and only a little true dedication to the story told. The voices sound more concerned with themselves than with the music. An effort seems to be made to do it just not completely right, to make us think that this is something way cool and special. It sounds like one of those popstar duets we are all supposed to be very excited about. It doesn't work for me I am sorry to say. track 7. bass sounds like Chambers, but it isn't him as this is all too well in tune on the arco and the pizzicato parts support me in my idea. I'd be damned if that tenor ain't Johnny Griffin. I like this one a lot and I am curious as to what it is. track 8. The trumpet reminds me a lot of Don Cherry. I have no clue about the tenor; there are traces of Ornette there, but the rhythmic bounce is very different. The bass playing is intruiging. There is a certain European quality to it. I don't know, but I like it very much. track 9. Ellington w/ Hodges. Very nice. I should invest more time and money in this stuff. track 10. Timeless Coltrane pouring his body and soul into his horn. Marvellous. There is a lot of truth in this playing. track 11. The sax is way off mike. The guitar is too close for comfort compared to that. It makes it all sound very disjointed. The voice sounds a bit strained, as if it is too closely miked. Close but no cigar. edited for readability

it hurt me much more than anticipated as well. I have only recently "discovered" the AEC and their music. It was my most recent complete mindphukk. thanks for those words Jim.

Yeah, I have proposed a thread titled "The Free Jazz Hypervolume - less than 4 dimensions is too restrictive" a long time ago. No one seems interested, which is good because now the title of the thread is more in sync with the music being discussed. No rules.

well Paul, I don't quite understand it myself. But I live by the maxim "to each his own" and I'm not going to propose any rules. I can only URGE people not to peek. Thanks for participating and thanks for your guesses. Lyles West & Dennis Durick (from quartet out) can be proud I think.

like I knew you would

sjarrell, welcome to the board! this site has cover scans of most BN (LP) releases in a decent size large enough for CD booklet printing. They may need some touch up in Photoshop in some cases.

17 copies listed on abebooks.com not cheap though---

not good. damn.

and enjoy

if I'm in a hurry - when an LP will not play decently or when there is goo on it, I just do it with the dishes. That gets rid of the big dirt. If I want it really clean, for recording onto CDr for instance, I bring it to my local 2nd hand shop. The guy has a professional cleanin' machine.

Geez, that looks familiar You mean Josh is the son of Ravi?

Mike wake up! there's music to be heard!
