In Performance at the Playboy Jazz Festival (1982) (Elektra)

go to [My Controls] (upper right corner of your window), there choose [board Settings] under the options header (lower left hand corner) and select [No] for "Do you wish to view members avatars when reading topics?" Of course then you will also not be able to see the static avatars. If you only wish to kill the animated gifs, that is something you can deal with in your browser settings; or at least you can in Opera.

absolutely!

that's a great film! It's about the leader of a jazz trio (Teddy, played by Helge Schneider) playing in a club without an audience. To make the ends fit, Teddy has to take on additional jobs as gigolo (!), as newspaper boy and selling fish. Some hilarious scenes (if you like this kind of humour) and then some awesome playing in a Monkish vein. The trio dreams of being as famous as Earl Mobiley, a drummer who has vanished from the scene. The story ends in a Sun Ra fest. This film had an even lower budget than the previous Helge fims, but that only adds to the tragical undertone.

that's just a plain grey hoodie, the Fantasy logo is printed over the pic. My Pablo LP doesn't have it. It does have the white banner that says "D I G I T A L"... The cool red vinyl makes up some for that though.

don't step ON that patio either... I wonder how the cat doesn't crack through the thing

I can read it at this link: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/24/arts/music/24jazz.html can't you?

woohoo!

It's not, it's just taking one of those patented Organissimo Thread Detours. based on what? some patented non-specified hearsay anecdotal thread-crap? I like those detours, as long as they stay positive. I do not think it is very nice to have a thread about Horace Silver and then fill it with all the shitty bandleader stories we can come up with. Somehow that strikes me wrong.

how come this is turning into a "Scrooge Bandleader" thread?

drats! so then it has to be this one particular king of adventurousness as well! Personally I do like the Koller albums and I am glad they are available. Like I wrote, it seems that MPS has been planning their reissues around certain main events. There was Koller's grand prize and subsequent death, then OP's 80th birthday and they made sure stuff was available. Volker Kriegel is only 62 or so, and I guess he will have to wait some time or win something or die. Same with George Duke. The stuff they DO put out is absolutely fabulous though. Great sound and real nice packaging.

and plenty more of the Koller albums released were pretty "adventurous". It seems to me that currently, MPS is reissuing in waves related to certain birthday and similar occasions and then hikes on the publicity.

the actual liner notes are by Kent Cooper and Tyrone. But there is a "table" with tunes and players, listing which instrument is played by whom on which track. There René is referred to as Renee.

Wow! Looks like an explosion at the Scrabble factory. heheh. If you like a taste, I have uploaded a tune by Kurylewicz and Trzaszkowski each here. Some of their stuff is available again and I can only recommend the "Polish Jazz" series albums. This is some rare material from 10" LPs.

yes, but the linernotes to Do Right refer to him as Renee

you no like my pizza boxes?

a tough decision between Andrzej Kurylewicz, Andrzej Trzaszkowski, Krzystof Komeda, Iancsi Körössy,...
