Gary

Eternally fresh

sorry that should have read 'He will appear on tour in November with a trio & a specially recruited British big band that will include players such as Jason Yarde & Tony Kofi '

I havent seen a line up just yet all in Jazzwise this month it has the dates & the following - 'He will appear on tour in November with a trio & a specially recruited big band players such as Jason Yarde & Tony Kofi '

This link should help with what's covered in the Live Trane box. http://home.att.net/~dawild/livetrane_details.htm

oh! the horror!!! Who could forget that thread , my Miles comment was just an attempt (admittedly a weak one) at a joke.

You had me going there for a minute - your definately a wind up merchant! Before you know it we'll have people posting that they don't like Miles!

& definately this for starters.

Oh & these

& this

or this

try this

A solo on FMP as well. also Tales Out of Time, with Joe McPhee on Hat. That's seven. One a month, not too shabby. I keep hearing rave reviews for this. If I were only going to buy one of these 2004 Brotz releases this would be it. & this one on the DMG email PETER BROTZMANN / MARCO ENEIDI / LISLE ELLIS / JACKSON KRALL - Live at Spruce Street Forum (Botticelli 1015) Brotzmann plays tenor sax & taragato, Marco plays alto sax, Lisle plays contrabass and Jackson plays drums. Word is that this is a smoking set and no doubt that we believe that fact. Marco Eneidi's recent trio disc with Paul Murphy & Kash Killion (on Cadence) was one of this year's best free/jazz gems, so... CD for $15

there are some great releases on Nessa. Get the Fred Anderson, the Air disc, the AEC box and Roscoe Mitchell's Snurdy McGurdy and her Dancin' Shoes to start. Agreed , I've been listening to some of the AEC box today coincidentally. The AIR cd is magnificent - but the track 'I'll be right here waiting' is one that gets the hairs on the back of the neck raised with every listen.

That doesn't sound like the sort of thing that I'd like , perhaps you could tell that Mr Brotzmann to play something a little more peaceful in future. I'm still here lurking as always. The mention of Hal Russells name has encouraged me to listen to the NRG Ensemble CD on Nessa - some wonderful music. Whoever chose Hal Russell as a CD of the week & introduced me to his music has a lot to answer for !!!

Hey, once I have that MD here, I can offer CDRs to the rats! Same goes for the Stanko. Just be patient! Sorry , I hope you dont feel I was trying to step on your toes .

If anybody rememberrs King Ubu's recent post about a Stanko broadcast - I've managed to get transferred to CDR an equally magnificent (if not more so )broadcast by Hancock / Shorter / Holland / Blade recorded in London . 70 Mins - 5 Tunes excellently reconstructed . Its not 'Funny Rat' but if you like the Stanko broadcast you will enjoy this . Pm if youd like a copy

Reading these posts encouraged me to dig out this Cd again a truly magnificent CD , one of those one where I can always remember the first time I heard it , I knew I was listening to something special. I have only ever picked up one more Joe McPhee Cd 'As serious as your life', Another great solo CD. I always get the same feeling with each listen ... 'Why have I never bought more Joe McPhee CDs ???????????????'

Д.Д., any more comments on 14 Love Poems? Won't be able to add any more comments before I get home and re-listen to it which will happen in mid-August only. But trust me, this is good stuff. Probaly Gary could help a bit with reviewing this one before then. Hopefully I'll be getting this one next Wednesday . I'll post my initial impressions then.

Only once or twice, he sat on the bench most of the time. He wasn't good enough for Ajax. By the way, he's from Belgium. oops sorry. I understand that a Brazillian who had a very good season was keeping him out of the Ajax team. Perhaps that was a bit of spin on SFC's part to hype up the signing.

I should've seen this, of course... Hans, have you seen your fellow countryman Jelle Van Damme play ? We've just signed him from Ajax.

its this season

Don't worry I'm not too upset ! I'm not expecting us to win the league. Top 8 is a possibility but so is 18th ! We are OK in defence , have possibly the best keeper in the league & we are strong up front . But we have no creativity in midfield & are very inconsistent. But that is what is exciting about following a team like Southampton& when we have had a small sniff at glory its appreciated more.

I'm counting down the days , Saturdays seem to be boring at the moment , I'm getting so deperate I'm even thinking of going to some pre-season frendlies this year! Hopefully my season tickets on the way to me in the post. My team are trying to sign an American player - Marcus Beasley. Cmonn you Saints!!!

Just a few cancelled bids then .
