...nor do the rest of us! I think it's about an open letter to Blue Note. Not sure though. What makes you think that? just a hunch

...nor do the rest of us! I think it's about an open letter to Blue Note. Not sure though.

try here for samples.

I think this is a very good first draft. The way it succinctly describes the problem and offers advice is very impressive.

1955, René Urtreger - Joue Bud Powell (Barclay/JiParis) 1959, Lee Konitz & Warne Marsh - Live at the Half Note (Verve) 1964, Yusef Lateef - 1984 (Impulse!) 1966, Wayne Shorter - Adam's Apple (Blue Note)

does this mean that Schnappi is dead?

this is cool! you must be sponsored by Black Ink inc.

Although, in this case, couw just posted the little magician (conductor?) on the welcome mat... so I thought I was just taking up the slack in retelling couw's own story... that's no magician! that's Signor Rossi!

So did you get into jazz by discovering this list, through your parents or some other way? Che. Couw only started buying in the CD era: his first album was supposed to be Out to Lunch, but the shop didn't have it so he got Out There. He bought Out to Lunch a little later. He wanted to buy Out to Lunch because he had read about it in The Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play (a book on Zappa). Also because Straight Up and Down was featured as the opening tune to a television series he liked to watch. My question to couw is -- what was that television series??? thanks for the answer maren, I love you (I think) anyhow, the tellyvision series was "Keek op de Week" by Kees van Kooten en Wim de Bie.

I only have a Buddy Terry LP tucked away some where. I need to dig it out, memory says it was pretty good.

no, it's andrew hill of course! why do you ask?

Lucky duck! I bet them's scantily clad lady dancers too! lucky bastard!

I'd not be listening to you guys complaining that there ain't no jazz that's for sure.

pffff

yeah, THAT would be REALLY bad!

party pooper, you!

How mundane. Mine was truly piqued (can we have swirly font here too pleas?)

#20 arrived just now, but I want to keep it a secret...

what an amazing thread. wadda bunch o' wankers!

and again, cool covers deus-man! I managed to spiff up the Hutch to usuable size, it's 200kb at 150 dpi 12,1x12cm mail me if you want it.

my art dierector has complained with me that the font on the Polish Jazz cover isn't Polish enough. I went and found the Tyfa font, the official state sponsored font designed in 1960, and guess what. It almost exactly like the Times I had already. Just that the lower case "f" is a *lot* cooler: http://www.stormtype.com/tyfa.html maybe like so then?

Yeah, especially that special camera that can cast white reflections under blue objects. what do you mean?

I cut the heads off of many people for that one. Do you think it was worth it?
