Cool. Me thinks there are too many Organissimo members viewing at the moment ... maximum number of streams reached. I'll try to push someone out again. Cheers!

Title says all. Can anyone point me to a good/excellent remaster that includes this track? I've gotten lost in the trillions of reissues, compilations and super trashy cheapo editions. Heeeeeeeeelp! Cheers!

DIE ALREADY!

My mother posts on that OTHER board.

Nice! Just to save a link to some inspiration, I'll place this one here (wonder how long this has been up/will be up): Blue Note Covers Cheers!

Haven't listened to anything else all day. Great stuff! You'll love it. Cheers!

I have a different term for this: computer music. Reason? I have about 200 GByte of music on my PC. That includes St. Germain, Cafe del Mar, various Lounge CDs, and, and and. And that's just one sub-folder of I don't know how many. It's great stuff to do work to because it's smooth and doesn't require any attention (and doesn't distract either), but I would never really burn any of it onto a CD to take next door and listen to on my stereo. If I did, I would permanently expect weird dancers to appear and scantily-clad ladies to float through the room. This place is weird enough as it is, thank you. Cheers!

To me it just sounds like that some people, here or there, just really need to get a life. Jeez, as if there weren't more important things in the world than heckling about which website, where, with whom and why not, how often ... again, and again, and again. Cheers!

I like John's best. Great idea! Take that one (if you haven't already). Cheers!

Thanks, Dr. Funkenstein. Cheers!

Interesting Link: V-Discs: Overview

BTW: I do know about V-Discs, but obviously not nearly enough. I'm reading up on it now. But, I'd still like to know sth about this Milan label. Seems to be a legitimate if distributed through BMG?

Well, I picked these up in a shop around the corner, 4-CD box (4th disc has some Charles deGaulle speeches etc. on it), shrink-wrapped for 3 Euro. Before I actually listen to them, here the details: These are the contents: V.A. The V-Discs-Collection. Editions Milan Music (distrib. by BMG). France 1995. Disc 01: The Big Bands a) Count Basie (4 tunes) b) Duke Ellington (3 tunes) c) Benny Carter (2 tunes) d) Lionel Hampton (2 tunes) e) Jimmie Lunceford (1 tune) Disc 02: The Combos and The Soloists a) Combos (Hot Lips Page; Louis Armstrong; Nat King Cole; etc.) b) The Soloists (Coleman Hawkins; Fats Waller; Art Tatum; Earl Hines, Lionel Hampton) Disc 03: The Singers a) Armstrong (3 tunes) b) Holiday (1 tune) c) Jordan (3 tunes) d) Ada Brown (1 tune) e) Jimmy Rushing (3 tunes) f) Fats Waller (1 tune) Disc 04: Documents "Discours du Général Leclerc, du Général de Gaulle, Communiqués des radios, Marche de la deuxiéme D.B.) A first listen shows that the sound is really not all that bad. Are these some rip-off production? Does anyone know anything about this box? Internet info is, to say the least, sparse ( or in French, which basically means the same to me ) The thing looks sth like this (not quite, but almost). Cheers!

Let me know if you want to use it/have it tweaked or if we just leave it here for posterity (or for my own later use). Am going to go and listen to Farlow, Farlow, Farlow. Cheers!

My Tal Farlow arrived today. In perfect shape. Cheers!

The bull fighter? Sorry to say, no. It's by Picasso. Cheers!
