Hey, what can I say, if it runs, it runs. You added a nice layer of fun (albeit on your tab) to it.

(how many posts was that? my counter is spinning like crazy!)

and I would like to tell Dan that I think it's cool he apologised and that I like him much better when he is cool & friendly than when he is playing board police.

and I want to second second Dan's suggestion to check out the Album of the Week (AotW) forum.

I want to second Jim's (JSngry that is) suggestion that you start a new thread for each album. Write a small introduction where this stuff comes from, why it was written etc. Add a closing statement, inviting opinions, be it on your writing or on the music. You may want to do a search of the forum before you post on an album.

cool beans! FWIW: There were 35 people participating in BFT 5. May we have reached a plateau here?

Mike, I am in a hurry and cannot react to all you wrote. But just catching the last remark of your post, check this link I posted earlier. It's a nice write up of Elvin's BN stuff (though admittedly I havent't had a chance to read through it myself yet)

from the site Philip got the one he posted: (I'll quit now, next ones are yours Philip!)

(I deleted the pic)

that's a way cool site, with some very nice pics! (see the one I posted above)

please post if you find more. I'd like to see the pictures of the kids. Were you among those shown?

if people keep misunderstanding your implied messages, maybe you should work on your technique then

yeah, yeah, yeah. Just admit you were too lazy to look up the link. Too occupied drinking coffee again.

I don't have a clue, but what's the story behind it? (If you don't mind my asking)

catesta can help you out with the answers. he sells them real cheap.

so it would be nothing like your posts in this thread?

Geoff, this album has been discussed in the Album of the Week forum link). I don't have such a hard opinion as Dan does, but the AotW forum does provide a nice stage for such reviews/discussions. A whole lot of albums have been discussed already, take a look at this thread, there may be some of them you were thinking of including in your discussions.

did you try opera then?

Someone has offered to post the disk as mp3 on an ftp server. Previous disks have been sent to Brazil in this way. Problem seems solved for now.

are those the same liners that do not really say that much besides that Farrell plays tenor, which is interesting information considering he is heard playing the flute as well on the album; the same liners in short that made me doubt who was playing the solo and in the end made it possible for me to opt for Coleman? I am probably the first one to be fooled on his own Blindfold Test. (there's an honour even YOU can't take away from me Mr Testa! )

Yes, that's the one. I listened to the album again last night, and man! this is great, great stuff. I wasn't lying when I answered Big Al's question: GROOVE is written in capital letters here. This and the sister-release (One) Tension(!) both suffer from unclear album titles. The spine says Now Jazz Ramwong, the front cover adds that stuff about Quartet in Asia 1964. In case of Tension! there are also versions that have One Tension on the front cover. No matter what these are called: it's FABULOUS music.

And you can console yourself in that Stan didn't take a solo so it was hard to guess his tenor right. Thanks for weighing in with some remarks on your first BFT. I hope you will join us next time. My hunch is you know and recognize much more than you are willing to admit-
