Guys and gals, help me out here. I need dinner. Someone buy this ...

Do I dare to, err, ...... Review over yonder ...

This mother swings (and I'm going to keep posting here until someone buys this; please leave a note).

My search didn't bring anything up really (have to admit that I didn't try all that hard though) ... so .... I bought this one because another known jazz board and site recommended it. Wow! (That should be enough of an incentive). Man, that Jo Jones was somethin' else. It's a pity that there aren't really any players around anymore with that kind of style, panache and swing. God, I love this one. 2 LPs on 1 CD: JO JONES TRIO (1958)/VAMP 'TILL READY (1960). Personnel include: Jo Jones (drums); Jimmy Forest (tenor saxophone); Harry "Sweets" Edison (trumpet); Bennie Green (trombone); Tommy Flanagan, Ray Byant (piano); Tommy Potter, Tom Byant (double bass).

In The Forrest P.S.: I haven't had a chance to listen on my stereo yet - all I've got are my PC speakers right now - and it does sound a tiny bit distorted here and there, but I don't care right now. The music is just up my alley.

Got myself the Duke Ellington as well, just for the hell of it. Hell = 1 Euro on eBay.

And I'm one generation above you, I think. How does one count that actually? At the speed I'm beginning to dislike new pop etc. music at, I think I'm 6 generations above you. P.S.: I did find a jazz loop of some piano trio. It sounded like someone programmed it using a sledgehammer. It swung as much.

I've been spending some time searching for mp3/flash loops for a website I'm doing. The more I look, the older I feel: a) This was the description for a New Orleans tune: "Up tempo. This is a fantastic funky groove with retro instruments." What they meant were an upright bass, an acoustic guitar, a saxophone and a piano. b) Whenever you hit their jazz listings, the only thing you get is some hip-hop junk. That's apparently the new jazz. c) One site listed pages upon pages of smooth jazz shite as "traditional jazz". d) I haven't done the math yet, but I would estimate that about 1 in 1000 tunes listed under "jazz" is actually jazz (well, sort of). I think I'll make my own loops. Searching for any was a fu**ing waste of time.

These are great DVDs, especially at that price (the menu etc sucks, but the performances are great). I have most of them. I don't have the Carter but, yes, I'm sure it is that performance. Others I have are pretty much identical to the CDs/LPs ("pretty much" = I'm not near enough to the stuff to check, but I'm 99% sure).

I did check that time (can't remember how) and it is that box. Begin the Beguine [bOX SET] Artie Shaw Amazon-Preis: EUR 17,99 Kostenlose Lieferung ab 20 EUR Bestellwert. Siehe Details.

Look at couw's post above. Zweitausendeins has it for 9.99.

Just to add to Brownie's praise of the box above. It is indeed a steal at that price. Even my critical ears like what they are hearing. This is, by the way, different from the Errol Garner box I mentioned above, but it is definitely from the same outfit. Like it and will watch out for future 10CD releases.

If I have time this summer, and if you'd like me to, I think I'll try to put a standards design together for the band homepage. I'm learning at the moment and browser incompatibilities are a pain inthe neck, but eventually I'll have it figured out.

Found this via some other site on Google maps. Dave (Bunker Hill)

Now that we've moved to a new server, can't someone delete this empty thread?

Don't know if you saw it over at the back room, so here it is again (also for those Cecil Taylor fans to let it rip again ...) Just stumbled over these: Apparently out soon (around the 20th of June, as far as I know). Amazon France and Germany have these listed: # Tracks (Remastered Anniversary Edition): Peterson,Oscar # Walking The Line (Remastered Anniversary Edition): Peterson,Oscar # Another Day (Remastered Anniversary Edition): Peterson,Oscar # Reunion Blues (Remastered Anniversary Edition): Peterson,Oscar

Is the sound good?

Yooooooooohooooooooooooooooooo. Good job!

Sounds good. It's really the technical support that counts. Screw the customer service once you're up and running again. You'll only hear from them when money becomes an issue.

Yes, but make sure you have the technical support you might need with your own server (unless you know your way around those well). As you have experienced yourself, crummy support can cost you a lot of nerves and a hell of a lot of time that you could spend with your wife ... or on your music ... or both! Good luck!

BTW: Although my previous post sounds like I hadn't read any of the payment etc. issues, I had. No matter what, the whole thing still sucks. It's no way to do business.

What kind of crummy outfit is this? I've never heard anything like it. Well, I have, but only about hosters who went off the air soon after. Moving a site is a sensitive issue and good hosters know that. I've NEVER heard of one behaving like these dudes and I STRONGLY recommend moving this site elsewhere when things have calmed down again (even though it is a pain in the rear end). BTW: I've moved enough sites, also very traffic-intensive ones, and usually it is the hoster or future hoster who has to go out of his way to make sure everything gets done right. Plus, they have to keep you informed about what's going on, they have to bloody well make the backups (and all of the ones I had made backups regularly during moves - and informed me about it; most even sent the backups to me at regular intervals upon request). Besides, I've never experienced a move that took longer than what, an hour at the most? And that was close to 60 GByte and only took longer because we had agreed to do it in the middle of the night, knew not many people were around and decided to do things a bit more slowly because time wasn't an issue. These guys suck. Suck. Suck. And that's that. NO customer should have to go through what you had to, Jim. And the company currently hosting this site is a disgrace to the business.
