Ferrero was not on top form these days. Nadal(18 years at the moment) was.

Dan: remember that Rafael Nadal (yeah, the guy who isn´t Moya) was chosen to play singles instead of Juan Carlos Ferrero, who HAS WON a lot of pro events. And as it was revealed, Spanish team coaches had their reasons.

Lord lists TEN recordings of "I want to be happy" by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, from July 1939 to August 1940. In all of them, Maurice Purtill is listed as drummer. I made a combined search for "I want to be happy" and Bob Spangler, and got no replies. Anyway, one can´t always trust Lord!

La Ensaladera se va para España!!!

November releases (from their website) Teddy Wilson Trio Revisits the Goodman Years LABEL: Storyville CATALOG NUMBER: 101 8364 GENRE: swing jazz Teddy Wilson - piano, Jesper Lundgaard - bass, Ed Thigpen - drums S'Wonderful / Someday Sweetheart / The Sheik Of Araby / More Than You Know / Nobody's Sweetheart / Rose Room / China Boy / Sweet Sue / Moonglow / Exactly Like You / Sweet Lorraine / Whispering / How High The Moon / Keeping Out Of Mischief Now / Don't Be That Way / Somebody Loves Me / St Louis Blues / I'll Remember April This CD (18 tunes; 69 minutes) is a studio recording made in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1980. The CD presents Teddy Wilson at his best, playing tunes he made immortal in the thirties as pianist with clarinetist Benny Goodman. Teddy Wilson is accompanied by Jesper Lundgaard, a Dane who is one of Europe's top bassists, and the famous drummer Ed Thigpen, who also lives in Denmark. On this CD Wilson displays all the delicacy, elegance, taste, finesse and impeccible rhythm sense that has made him one of the best pianists in jazz Ben Webster At Ronnie Scott, 1964 - The Punch LABEL: Storyville CATALOG NUMBER: 101 8373 GENRE: swing & bebop jazz BARCODE: 717101837328 Ben Webster - tenor sax, Stan Tracy - piano, Rick Laird - bass, Jackie Dougan - drums Introduction by Ronnie Scott / Blues In B Flat / Stardust / Gone With The Wind / Our Love Is Here To Stay / The Theme / Confirmation / My Romance / Poutin' / A Night In Tunisia / Over The Rainbow / How High The Moon / Cottontail The music on this CD is being release here for the first time. These 12 tunes (76 minutes), recorded in London over 4 nights at Ronnie Scott's club in 1964, are Ben Webster's first recordings in Europe. Webster is accompanied by three top British jazz musicians: Stan Tracy on piano, Rick Laird on bass and Jackie Dougan on drums. The repertoire consists of both of Ben Webster standards, like "Cottontail", and three bebop tunes: Miles Davis' "The Theme", Dizzy Gillespie's "Night in Tunisia" and Charlie Parker's "Confirmation". Webster displays deep romanticism - not sentimentality - in his poetic ballads. All in all, this CD is a joy to hear.

Just a (bad?) joke, as many times you insert covers of Japanese editions, and you sell that kind of stuff in the "Offering and Looking for..." forum.

Just PM-ed Clifton to give him my impressions on this, the latest "controversy".

Very useful instructions...

So... have you been recently banned, Hans? I liked watching the covers you inserted in your posts on the "WAYLT?" thread !!! And it was specially interesting to discover whether they were 20-bit, 24-bit, TOCJ, UCCI or whatever rare Japanese issue!

I have to agree with Brad. I don´t like the "sheriff-like" attitude moderators are showing on AAJ lately, in the name of "civilized discussion".

Buddy Bolden! Those cylinders were made very late in his life...

Thanks, Claude. I saw it on ebay (I have an automatic search on "Montoliu" there), but hadn´t got catalog numbers until now.

Nobody´s willing to help?

Volkher: If it´s your birthday actually, FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS!!!! If not ... ... well, I´ll leave it for Chuck!

No comments from our American members? Postal Service is really slow in the Empire! B-)

That set has been in my wish-list for too long! When I was writing my comments on this BFT, I looked for a Prez recording of "Don´t be that way" and I found the Spirituals to Swing recording of Basie´s Kansas City Five, but I thought all were live recordings in that set. Now I´ve found there were a few studio sessions. And I was almost sure that it was Basie on piano, but I was too fearful of being battered if I was wrong... Prez ALSO lives!

You did not want to test the Brotzmann waters?? Your list looks good. Know you will provide CDRs when you get those, OK? Just kidding, Chuck I´ve recently tested Brötzmann waters: his duo with Hamid Drake ("Dried rat dog" also on Okka) that I like a lot, and a 2 CD live date (Karlsruhe) of the Chicago Tentet that Flurin kindly provided me. In fact I was planning to pick some more Brötzmann, but asked for recommendations in a Spanish jazz Yahoo group, they shot them, and I took the plunge.... and after sending my email to Chuck I realize I hadn´t included any Brötzmann. And as for the CDR... don´t let Chuck know, or he will charge some extra fees for "authorized illegal distribution"

I´d really prefer garrote!

The 1st, 4th, and 6th I think are the better within that batch. None of them, if you were serious, are anywhere near as heavy/noise, if you were serious, as you're implying. The closest to post-bop mainstream jazz, and indeed in parts very close, is Nuclear Assembly Hall, which I quite like. Anderson/McCall is free-ish but in a very disciplined and cohesive way, well you'll hear what I mean, and DKV plays and builds on a lot of grooves so it's not much difficult, if at all, to get into - apart from the relatively shorter solo sections it's usually a groove or vamp kick-started by Kessler and Drake that Vandermark then plays over and after that it pretty much developes as a result of the close interaction between the three. Some tunes in Trigonometry, I think, go on a bit too much without enough content/variety. Thanks, gnhrtg! I´ll take your comments into consideration when listening to those discs, as I´m a newbie to this kind of jazz. And no, I wasn´t serious about noise. Just kidding.
