ANGEL - LIVE WITHOUT A NET (DOUBLE ALBUM) - LP CASABLANCA NBLP-2-7203 That's the one. Amazing that anyone actually has this stuff for sale. I'm actually going to check if they have a CD remaster. Just for a cover shot. That I haven't been able to find yet. Edit: Doesn't look like it. But this one gives you an idea:

Yep. Absolutely. I caught a couple of tunes on the on-board radio on a transatlantic flight to Venezuela in the 80s. Upon my return, my German record shop needed ages to actually get a copy (which was already quite warped when I got it because of the damn shrinkwrap) and I often played it. Of course, once you heard the tunes a few times, the "novelty" value quickly wore off. I later used it to entertain guests who actually knew the name. Most others didn't think it was funny. I actually considered buying a CD compilation once (Rhino?), but thought I'd probably only play the stuff once. Cheers!

You mean "All the Young Dudes"? Ah....so now you're making fun of David Bowie and Mott the Hoople fans. I actually meant the cover of that tune they did on their live set (where's that pukin' smiley when you need it), but I'm sure you knew that. I think you're just getting the fans of the above-mentioned all riled up. Bad boy. I wasn't. I'm sorry if I'm joining the musician/band/etc. bashers. I think that that (double-) live LP is probably the ultimate trash. I worked at a record shop (not for long) way back when that came out and one guy just kept on putting that thing on. At some party we used the LPs as coasters and I have the LPs till this day, Gin stains and all. God, that stuff was bad. No two ways about it. And the clothes: Cheers!

I would add Stan Freberg's version of the "Banana Boat" song. Or that other tune, "The Great Pretender" (?) with "I ain't playin' that clink, clink, clink jazz no mo'." It's on that LP, I think. Haven't heard it since 80 something. Cheers!

I think you're just getting the fans of the above-mentioned all riled up. Bad boy. Somewhere else I mentioned that I was cleaning out my 1000 plus LP collection which had spent several years in moving boxes, now that I have a new (old) TT. April Wine (album plus their Monsters of Rock live appearance from way back when ... didn't their drummer use to sit in a cage)? Yep. Plus lots of other very embarrasing stuff. Not much of it is going to survive the second exorcism, the first having taken place many, many years ago. I did stumble over a lot of NWoBHM stuff, but also over a signed Klaus Doldinger solo LP (he drew a pretty nice portrait on the cover to boot) which is all electronics (mostly keyboards), many signed jazz LPs from various DK Montmarte gigs (lots of jazz greats there ... wonder if this stuff is worth anything as the LPs are probably not in too good a shape ... need to check), my fave being a Teddy Wilson cover onto which he wrote the lyrics to "Lovely weather for ducks" (sung by Rosemary Clooney; when I talked to him in DK he was the only one at the table who recognized the title straight away and began to belt it out after hours in the club), etc. I need an update to my Roland V-Drums ... I think I'll sell many of the signed copies besides the Wilson, and about 20 others. I think I'll have those framed). Cheers!

I've heard most of it, have it and have seen it live (she plays once a year, if possible, at a jazz club I'm a member of and get free tickets for) and although her stuff is ok, I'm not a fan of her voice. She's got a bit of that Lolita thing (that sort of innocent girlish voice) going (which, at least in Europe, is a somewhat formulaic thing in itself ... we have some new German singer from up north, can't remember her name right now, who rode right into the hearts of the usual crowd with that style), but the Gustavsen trio does excellent backing work. It's just not worth getting for that alone - it just shows how well they are able to blend in. BTW: If I recall correctly, Germans can see her on TV tonight (Jazzline on WDR at 23:50.) I'm too lazy to check if the Gustavsen Trio is in fact backing her. Will have a quick look later. Cheers!

You mean "All the Young Dudes"?

Excellent work!

This one I've been waiting for patiently, especially since I thought - despite the rave reviews - that the latest E.S.T. album was disappointing. Tord Gustavsen Trio. The Ground. ECM 2005. three sound samples (.wav around 1MB each): here (select sound samples on the left, bottom three on the page) I had the chance to hear the full album today (it is available in some countries but won't be in most others until end February ... around the 31st) and am pleasantly surprised by it. If you liked the first one, you can't go wrong with this one. Oddly enough, the criticism I would level at the above-mentioned new E.S.T. disc (been there, done that ... and heard it often enough now, including the end-of-CD-gimmick of one far-out track) is a positive here. As quiet as the last album, melodically crafty, with that Scandinavian lyrical quality I admire so much in a very few bands that can actually do something with it instead of coyping it from others. This will once again be a permanent in this household. Cheers!

Haven't managed to read all the names yet, but have we had Kenny G yet? We should not forget him. Not here. Not on this board.

Hasn't B3er been more than busy with other things lately? And rightfully so? Seems like some mice like to dance on the tables despite knowing that. Cheers!

Correction: They do have a website, but normally you only get a link to it to check the status of your order (which is totally useless as the same info is e-mailed to you anyway). http://www.caiman.com/ They've got a cute crocodile though. As John said, you gotta hit Amazon to see what Caiman has to offer. Cheers!

If I recall correctly, there was a number of other great jazz musicians and producers that had to take a barrage of negativity - it has become trendy as of late on this board. Sad to see. And no, I'm not defending any type of abuse. I think it's just weird how, usually without any advance warning, this negative stuff pops up out of nowhere, as if everyone needed to know this to understand the music better. Weird. Edit: I should add (to avoid the flames) that I was not talking about the WM thread, although it does fall into the same pattern. Edit numero two-o: Have to add writers to the list. Forgot about Arthur Miller being crapped on as well.

I'd be very interested in getting hold of those tunes. Any chance? Cheers!

Not an old topic. I think the past two days showed that it is a problem. And it is a few select people who are responsible for the problem. Cheers!

Get the "Exclusively" set. Many parts of it I like better than the Blue Note live set (and I really do like that one). Reason? It's got that intimacy (some of the recordings sound like the trio were practically sitting on each other and if you look at photos from those sessions, it was like that as well.) and much of it is OP at his best. As an aside. I remember reading that the Exclusively sessions took place in the intimate setting because of contractual obligations. OP was not allowed to perform outside of contracts before larger audiences, so the German producer set it up as a private concert in his living room for friends, recording everything with his equipment upstairs. There is another disc which collects stuff that wasn't on the original box set, but it is only partially good. Cheers!

Thanks Late and Michael. I'll follow those leads when I have the time, probably this weekend. Cheers!

Trolling.

Thanks Randy. I've heard most of Rodney's stuff (the friend mentioned above has a totally extensive collection of just about all [it seems] recorded recorder music [now, that one sounds strange]. The shakuhachi influence also gives this, albeit very interesting music, an esoteric touch (btw, I have a whole bunch of Denon etc. shakuhachi recordings (Tosha Suiho, for example, who pretty much freely improvises in natural settings, inside of monasteries, etc. ... fascinating stuff)) or pushes it into the world music corner. I'm looking more along the way of, dare I say it, recorder jazz with a West Coast influence or sth along those lines. Cheers!

Btw. That should be Cabernet. At least over here. Cheers!

Thanks, guy, but I was looking for sth more upbeat. I have that one and, frankly, I have to agree with you. I'm looking for a real jazz vibe, also with someone who's actually good at playing the instrument. Cheers!

I adopted rock when I was around 13 years old. I went straight again when I turned 21, or so. There's hope yet for those penguins (although if SWEDISH female penguins couldn't affect a change, probably nothing will). Cheers!

Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any recordings (jazz) which in any way feature the recorder? I'm trying to get some recommendations for a master of the instrument. We had a talk the other day and wondered if such a thing actually existed. Any recommendations or hints are welcome. Thanks & Cheers!

Arne Domnérus u.a.: Jazz At The Pawnshop. Proprius PROP777879 2LP. Cheers!

You must have a sh*tload of OP discs then. Cheers!
