    Davis S Ware Quartets

    Thanks for the info. I put him in the search and nothing came up. But thanks again. Che. maybe you should invest some thought in how that search function really functions. More options there than just hitting a button. I hope that was very helpful
  2. and do not spill any liquor on it when the party moves into the final few hours before dawn
  3. You're thinking of the wrong side of the lake. It is Ubu who leads his wild hordes to boo the performers off the Montreux stage every year.
  4. can you still make a regular audio CDr burn using these DRM encrypted AAC files?
  5. is this legal? http://hymn-project.org/
  6. doesn't this mean that an uncompressed .wav must be created? That could then simply be encoded to mp3 without bothering with a CDr burn in between. Whether the quality loss that is introduced is substantial enough to actually hear it, is another question.
  7. you had my hopes up! I will just be patient, then.
  8. the remainder of the music mentioned by Waits during the interview can be found here
  9. The Savoy material is a bit of a mess, it took me some time to see through it all. That 2CD set that came out some time ago wasn't the brightest light shining on otherwise unavailable material as it repeated release of the Prayer tt East album, already out there as a Denon disk, and had only half of Sounds of Nature, which is otherwise unavailable (?). Of course it did a good job in bringing The Dreamer and Fabric of Jazz out there. The earlier albums (Jazz Mood & Jazz for Thinkers) could do with the Stablemates bonus material as released on the 2LP set Morning. Lon, what is coming out where and when?

    you don't need an Apple for that. On the contrary, from what I have read Apple machines are more likely to run into problems with some of these disks. This may only apply to older models of course.
  12. 1984 is available as download I believe. Anyhow, let's just hope the release of Psychisemotus is just the start and that they will eventually release them all.
  13. yeah! everyone knows that Psychisemotus sux!

  24. awww, too tired to check now. I promise I will give it all another, serious go. nice reading in this thread.
  25. eins: Old Folks, performance by Ben Webster I'd say, probably with a local rhythm section somewhere in the depths of Europe. There is not much to say about these breezy latter day performances other than that they are truly wonderful. Webster's tone fits the ballads so well. Did the man ever get a gold medal? Damn, he should. zwei: ja! short and sounds like maybe Hawkins (?). Nicely powerful in your face performance, the sound quality definitely adds to the charm. This may be any band, from Fletcher's to a European equivalent of the times. drei: hmmm. more of the same? Seems like Ubu is trying to fool us here. It is not entirely unlikely that there were European tenors at the time with the precise same sound. Love this one like the previous two. Superbly dedicated tenor sound with a lot of breathy width. vier... I missed it ??? sorry, only found out track four is missing when I reread while wanting to click the buttonk... fünf: Mood for Love, besides the tenor sounding like those before (probably Hawk again), the vibes are fantastic and so is the guitar. None of these soloists strike me familiar which probably only goes to prove that there was some shit hidden up some sleeves already way back when. Some will certainly complain that this is too stiff or what not. They need to shake their bones some and retune their brains. This swings like mad albeit it in another realm. Sound quality ain't helping the appreciation process either... too bad. I like this a bunch just for the dedication. sechs: Some Byrd/Adams tune (????) but not them (duh...). These guys have caught something by the lurch as it captivates and won't let go. Very good performance, a bit formal in places, probably due to the rhythm section, but pretty fantastic. The trumpet certainly has divulged its fair share of Mogey, great playing and nice solo, close to the melody. Loosening that pianist seems to help, he leaves his stifness somewhat and plays some nice lines. sieben: oooo, Helen. What is this? This is fantastic! What insane drive here. Merrill does know how to push and drive. Damn! acht: just insane. Shit like this made me appreciate the jazz accordion all over again. This can only be a yurpeen player as them silly mericans would have shot him and killed the effort before it ever bloomed. Have some similar ditties (like Ubu does) by a GDR player, that go somewhat more into silly territories. This is simply and plainly great. More please. neun: ooo swooshy time! what's this? cheap mp3 ditty? Anyhow, Ornette tune, right? If so, I like how they took it out of context and recreated. Nothing wrong with that. It's like playing merry musical tunes, but in a backward way. Kudos to these lovely players. zehn: pleng ploing plenplenpleng dunk! fantastic. The king knows how to segue, I am envious. Cecilesque goings on that remind me of Uli Gumpert and his dada-exquisties. elf: heheheh. zwölf: oy, this is it. bass and alto are at the top of the game, percussion adds a fantastic touch. Sorry ubu, no other comments than that this is great! dreizehn: ooooo, sweet. "Let me tell you a story about a king who lived a long long time ago..." an utter fairytale this one, complete with very bad animals that eat all the friends of the hero, but all's well that ends well. And in the end, although there is some sadness, there are still two. I hope they became friends. Great tune. vierzehn: radio recording with that noise I could not remedy. Sorry 'bout that! The music is still amazing; a very nicely building effort with that pushing vamp that dissolves in an ant like working colony. The piano keeps pushing forward, lacking some basic emotion, likely because of the recording, half way through he certainly makes ammends and starts some pretty great lines and variations, in the end it all fits together and there are no complaints. Then it all goes on for a while too long though. Still a great tune by a great musician. fünfzehn: dunno, ballads are very revelatory in a way and although these players hit the right vibe, it is all too obvious they do not really have to tell a story that is as long as the tune is. This is truly nice enough and there are some truly great moments of interaction, but the message is not sustained. Still loving it though. sechszehn: ja! big drive and much fun. sounds like Koller. Love it. Big sounding ensemble bursts with even bigger bass and stings. siebzehn: a variety of modern deconstructionist stuffs dude having a go at some american folk tunes. achtzehn: - sorry I got so short towards the end. I'm sleeping already and I could and should have made more of this BFT. I'll be off next week and wanted to post before. Hope to listen while absent and maybe add some more comments.
