  1. Looks like someone forgot to renew the domain.
  2. Thanks for your help! I'll hit the "Buy Now" button today.
  3. Could you check if there is any "revised/updated" whatever notice in the pb? I'm a hardcover guy and I'd rather get that one (also good prices on that one).
  4. Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. P.S.: There's also a paperback edition from 2001. Does anyone know if the discography has been updated/any changes to the book? Otherwise I would go for the hardcover (1996).
  5. Hi everyone, I'm trying to fill the many holes in my probably far too limited Teddy Wilson collection. To avoid getting too much overlap between the stuff available from I don't know how many labels, both rip-off and not, I need some sort of online discography or the like (I can't afford any of those disk-based discographies). Can anyone point me towards anything on the net that could help me progress? I haven't been successful at all, although usually I'm quite good at unearthing this kind of stuff. Thanks. P.S.: I have the Mosaic, all the Hep and all the Storyville CDs.
  6. Does it fry eggs as well?
  7. Word!
  8. Here's a link with updates on many, many of my favourite NO musicians ...: Rebirth Brass Band Forum
  9. I just had a very quick glance through my collection spanning about 20 meters of just jazz CDs (not counting the CCR stuff in another section, etc.), and about roughly 5 of those 20 meters are Fantasy (Prestige, Riverside, Contemporary, Milestone, Pablo, ...) CDs. Looking at the catalogue(s) available at the moment, there are plenty more meters in there for me. I hope all the reissues are kept in print to give me the time to extend the collection.
  10. A monitor to go along with the keyboard ... Athens Monitors
  11. I'm simply stunned at the incompetence displayed here. I know this is a disaster of a magnitude which makes it very difficult to help fast and efficiently, but what I'm seeing on CNN and reading on the Net makes me think that the US seems to have a lot of efficient (well, sort of) plans when it comes around to helping others, but when their own people are dying, nobody seems to be able to get his/her head out of his/her rear end. I remember how efficiently the US airlifted supplies into Berlin way back when, etc., and now they can't get supplies to dying citizens in NO. WTF? Simply unbelievable. And very, very sad to see.
  12. Watching this unfold these past 24 hours, none of what the media said (and some TV stations were sadly and obviously waiting for) was overblown. This is a disaster of epic proportions. A very sad thing to watch as NO is/was my favourite city in the US (no disrespect intended for all the other cities). I was there more than 10 times because of that very reason. I hope and pray that it's not going to get as bad as it looks right now (and it looks like it will be of biblical proportions). Very sad.
  13. There's a *.pdf online. You can see what the box really looks like ... simple box stuffed with CDs. http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=2&...HKsfKwQGbxOzrDg
  14. Thanks, guys. I was away for a while, drinking my way through northern Germany. The birthday was more of a fringe benefit on that trip. Thanks, and cheers!
  15. My Tour. Your Tour. My winner. Your winner. Europe against America. America against Europe.
  16. Just to stir the pot a bit: I have yet to hear a copy-protected CD that sounds inferior. I set up my PC to play anything I want it to play (this part is a bit more complicated for the average user). Summary: I couldn't care less, and I'll buy the music if I like it. What bothers me a lot more is some of that godawful remastering done with both majors and smaller labels today. THAT is f*cking it up for the consumer. *runs off*
  17. Hm. It is certainly true that both can sound very "busy", but the main difference (for me) seems to be that whereas Buddy Rich played things clean to the point of seeming too clinical at times, Jones was a much more emotional and raunchy (meant in a positive way) drummer. In my eyes, the two are completely different in their approach.
  18. "Holy F***ing Sh*t!" ??? You're off to the right start ...
  19. I missed this one the first time around and passed up on some offers (silly me). Now I'm looking for: Benny Goodman: The King of Swing - Rare Recordings from the Yale University Music Library [bOX SET]. Vol. 6-10, Music Masters Jazz (August 13, 1996). Has to be sent to Europe (Germany). (P.S.: I know Amazon.com has a couple of copies from various mail-order dealers, but I just wanted to try here first if anyone wants to get rid of their copy) PM me or post here if you happen to have one for me.
  20. Ah, thanks! I've actually seen that one. I'm dumb.
  21. Hi everyone, I was just wondering if the Benny Goodman Yale Recordings (Yale University Music Library/Musicmasters Jazz/Limelight) Volumes 6 to 10 were also released as a box set or only individually? As far as I know, the latter is the case. And info appreciated. Thanks!
  22. That's got to be ... it's ... get it off me ... yuck ...
