Hi, Milan. Great to see you round here once again! Incidentally, a few weeks ago, I attended a concert by the Spanish sextet Racalmuto, leaded by saxophonist Miguel Malla, with Italian clarinetist Marco Cresci and trumpet player David Herrington on the front line. They play the music of John Kirby´s group and also Raymond Scott´s early compositions (besides quite a few originals in the same trend: emphasis on composition and arrangement, avoiding the typical head-solos-recapitulation). It was a very nice concert that I did enjoy a lot. BTW: I also like John Kirby a lot! Agustín

My listening of Miles Davis´ "Live at the Hi-Hat" disc reminded me of bop-oriented saxophonist Jay Migliori, one of those little known musicians in the history of jazz. Apart from being in the group Supersax and in Woody Herman´s orchestra, he played with many musicians when passing by Boston and took part in literally hundreds of recording sessions as a studio musician. To my knowledge, these are the only albums under his name: -1955: Jay Migliori Quintet, for the Transition label -1975: disc for PRB Int. -1980-81: disc(s) for Discovery -1996: "Smile" (Cexton Records) Any further information (discographical or not) would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Agustín

Anyway, brownie, if you look carefully on the Discmedi website YOU´LL FIND A NEW TREASURE for us, collectors of Tete Montoliu material. Hint, hint! I´ve just received "that treasure" today, and will start a new topic when I listen to it properly. Look for it, man!

No, you won´t find it. The Spanish and Catalan editions are targeted exclusively for Spain; the French edition exclusively for France, and the English edition exclusively for the rest of the world. So it looks like they consider his website as part of Spain...

Where do I have to sign for it?

Oh, and thanks to the French spectators for their help during all the tournament! And also thanks to the translator of the interview after the final, who turned Nadal´s generous praise of Roger Federer into pompous self-glorification. Maybe trying to prepare the public for next year´s tournament?

Obviously, with his criticism on his selection for the Davis Cup 2004 Final, Dan has proved to be a great scouter... and forecaster!

Where have I heard this before?

You better open your mind, "mainstreamer", or the forces from hell will come for you! We can discuss the meaning of "enjoyable" music... and I´m afraid I will be closer to you than to the funnyraters....
