couw

and the best news is that all these beautifully made MPS disks sell for less than 10 Euro a piece!

the Mangelsdorff is a great disk

... what a load of Wynton

uh oh.... could you try to make a copy and see if that will play? As I understand it, the added mistakes are sort of ironed out by CDr burning programmes. You will need a computer burner. Pop in the disk and ignore the prompt to install a programme. Do not try and make a copy of the whole disk, but select the actual tracks. Open the disk in your burning programme and take a look at the contents. There should be some non-music content and one additional track at the end. That's the compressed stuff, you won't be needing this. Click and drag the actual tracks into the burning-window and burn at a low burning speed (4x or so). I had a copy of Blue Train and although it plays perfectly on my machine, I made a copy out of curiosity and that one plays as well. I don't hear nothing wrong with it. You could of course also simply return the disk and get a non-protected copy.

If you're gonna do Brasil, why not also include Caravan or A Night in Tunisia and howzabout Round Midnight. I believe Wes Montgomery did an organ trio version of that one

Rooster, can we add this to the deal?

completely off topic: This reminds me of the editing out of the "And I still remember Mama with her apron & her pad feeding all the boys at Ed's Cafe!" from the WOIIFT$ album by the Mothers of Invention by the record company 'cause they thought "pad" referred to sanitary napkins.

where one night the badly tempered knight Du Blakeley started pushing people around with some very nasty consequences...

These aren't references to earlier work at the saw-mills?

looks more like a guy who just returned from a relaxed fishing trip on an early late summer sunday morning.

I remembered something about a saint called Thelonius and that name being derived of the German Till. Google-a-goog et voilà: Catholic Online Saints St. Tillo Feastday: January 7 Benedictine monk, also called Theau in France, Filman in Flanders, Belgium, and Hillonius in Germany. A native of Saxony, he was kidnapped by raiders and brought to the Low Countries as a slave. Ransomed by St. Eligius of Noyon, he entered the Benedictines at Solignac, where he received ordination, and labored as a missionary in the regions around Courtrai, France. He became a recluse at Solignac in his later years.

copied this from some site: Thomas Fitterling, in Thelonious Monk: His Life and Music (1997), points out that Monk's middle name, "Sphere," derives from his maternal grandmother, Sphere Batts. Not a hipster's cool affectation, "Sphere" was part of Monk's given name according to family documents. Monk didn't learn his middle name until the 1940s, when those documents made their way from North Carolina to New York, and: "From then on he used it as a hip accessory. He would joke that owing to his middle name he could never be called a 'square'." (Fitterling, 20.)

good going Dan!

I for one LOVE the first track (A Pilgrim's Funny Farm) and don't hear that much wrong with anyone on that particular track. Sure it's not the bestestest Lee, but damn it's still him and he does some awesome laid back stuff on the very first and very last lines of the tune-- but as others have stated, it may not be your particular bag.

does that middle pic show your own collection? I usually only drink beer before breakfast and sleep in between

...and, inspired by Rooster Tom's new avatar: The LOU-wnmower Man

as promised, here's the alternative ending. I don't have a decent James T Cat lying around so I had to resort to someone else. Hope you like it Dan. More detail: Lou Donaldson - Here 'Tis!

yes, thanks to all who contributed their wisdom to this thread. I didn't have much time to read it online, so I downloaded this and the Rollins thread and read it all at home.

Cool cover version in Mr Golden Arm's avatar! To celebrate this event, I made this one. It's rather obvious but nevertheless also nice (I think). Big one? Click here: Sam Rivers - Fuchsia Swing Song (360 Kb)

I can, however, understand that (but then, I'm a heathen too). I find this album to be more expressive of the vast amount of WORK Coltrane put into it and less of his inspiration/Spirit or any other of those less tangible qualities. I still like it a lot though.

both Jeff and myself are using Adobe Photoshop 7 w/ ImageReady. The ImageReady you need for the animations. It doesn't allow for intensive work on pics. The main work has be done in Photoshop. There are several tools which you can use. Compared to PhShop6 PhShop 7 is WAY better in this respect. Besides a stamp tool, which lets you copy part of a photo and paste them elsewhere in the same photo, there now is a "healing brush" which does the same but keeps several settings from the original part (the part you are pasting over), like balance, brightness, and contrast intact. Then there is the awesome "patch tool" with which you can do the opposite: You can copy balance, brightness, and contrast settings from any place in the pic and put it onto any other place. This is ideal for making your crude stamping fit in with the background. If you look closely to the LightFoot cover I did (the big version) you can see that the pattern in the stones repeats itself. That's because of the use of the stamp and patch tools. With some skill you can mask anything you like or wipe out any part you don't like. One of the most important features of PhShop is of course that you work in layers. You make one layer with a (restored) background. You cut out (restored) cars and people and put them in their own layer. You can move the layers independently of eachother. So you don't have to do the same work over and over again for each animation frame.

This one is for Dan.But remember! this doesn't mean that if you moan long enough you always get what you want! Lou DOES hand over the "sammich," but the guy don't like cheeze, he want peanutbutter and jelly! I'll may re-work this one and do an alternative ending. Click the link to see how sad the guy looks Lou Donaldson - Here 'Tis

I should have done this one before Blues Walk. Then maybe some people would have said whoa! cool beans! Now, I think most will just shrug and say, so what? This one's easy! Yeah well, it was. But only because I have been practising a lot... ...and the big one: Paul Chambers - Whims of Chambers

thanks Jeff Maybe when I move to Calif (or should I say Texas?) I have been playing a lot with the optimisation settings in ImageReady. Deleting one or two colours can drastically reduce file size. Did you at least save bigger versions? Can you put them up?
