I have been away a few days and am not up to date with all the discussions. This thread in particular seems to have taken more turns and twists than my diagonal reading skills can handle. Sorry for that, I'll try to read up.- BTW: that Gumpert I referred to is a recording from 1979, with Heinz Becker, tp, flh; Manfred Hering, as, ts; Ernst Ludwig Petrowsky, cl, ss, as; Helmut Forsthoff, ts; Conrad Bauer, tb; Ulrich Gumpert, p; Klaus Koch, b; Günter Sommer, ds; No small group involved.

... courtesy of the master couwatar, as always. Thanks a lot, couw!!! hey! no subliminal message???

Arrrr, so we did! Every year "international talk like a pirate day."

inserting the subliminal message: :rsly:

asking for it....

damn mike, this is difficult!

HELLYEAH!

happy birthday!

(go rooster!)

my first Brooks album. In this incarnation: Love that cat. Always wondered whether it is the same one that leapt off of the lady's behind on the cover of Poppa Lou's Midnight Creeper.

Found two sets of disks upon return from my short holidays. Mike, you may expect your disks this week. Sorry for the delay.

Chuck, I'd love to help you out here, but I'm afraid I am too happy that Jim broke the ice. I had been thinking about an introduction to my upcoming test, some words of warning and advice, but Jim said it better (as usual) and his compilation seems even more controversial than mine will ever be. Go for the controversy I say, it's part of the essence of the music we (or I) call jazz.

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag my friend!

Some stray bullets. No time for a coherent post, sorry. I have some Gumpert on the GDR Amiga label. Small group and large ensemble as I remember. I will check it when I return from my holidays next week. Send me a PM if I seem to have forgot Ubu. And as I am going from memory here, I also have an LP by Brötzmann, Ten Hove, and Bennink called Elements (is it on FMP?). It's been too long since I listened to it. I should put it on again. Any comments on that one? I have been transfering some stuff of the Chech pianist Ianci Körrössy from a Polish LP and a Chech 10" LP to my harddisk and this is another one playing within the European impressionist tradition (although quite a bit more baroque). This is more inside the swing bag than the other stuff discussed on this thread (rec. in the 50s & early 60s), but nonetheless very enjoyable and a very interesting illustration of how far you can go with melting jazz and classical approaches to the piano.

Eastern Standard Time = GMT-5 ?? between 2 and 6 PM = GMT 19.00 - 23.00 come on people! THINK global! We're citizens of the WORLD in this cyberspace :rsly: anyhow, I'll bet this whole 100K thing is gonna blow gently past us anytime during the Christmas holidays and nobody's gonna notice...

Will be checking this out next week when I'm on a decent connection again, looks great though!

Andrew Steele - Natural and Agricultural History of Peat Moss (1826) AKA: Steele - On Peat Moss, reprint of Steele 1802 w/ extensive appendix added. Great read BTW
