  1. I'm there even less-maybe twice a week. I was wondering why I didn't see Chris pop in on the Wynton Marsalis appreciation thread a few months ago though.... Looks like that "Wynton Marsalis Korner II" thread got really hot! But AAJ moderators deleted all the feuding posts, so we lost the fun! B-) (And I´m not criticizing their policy. They can do what they want, do they?)

  4. Those two are on my wish-list. Let´s wait till Christmas time!
  5. Here´s the Spanish Inquisition! Capital Punishment for you, brownie! (I have no idea if that disc is good or bad -in fact I always rely on brownie´s tastes and criteria-, but as Inquisidor Mayor del Reino, I have to decree capital punishment)
  6. Try with Edmond Hall and you won´t be disappointed!
  7. Anyone got these? http://www.espdisk.com/esp3002.html http://www.espdisk.com/esp3003.html http://www.espdisk.com/esp3005.html http://www.espdisk.com/esp3006.html Impressions? Is it really NEW material?
  8. Thanks for providing us with this very nice compilation of wonderful mostly-swing music (as expected ), Milan! Good for the average organissimo member to discover there´s jazz before bop! And good for FunnyRatters to discover there´s jazz before Coltrane! Being at work, I don´t have access to my collection or my database, so maybe you´ve included some music you sent me before (did you?) or even music that I sent you before (did you?). With both options, mikeweil´s BFT rule number one would apply and it´d make me feel completely ashamed! Just a few guesses/comments for now: 1.- This is “In the mood”, but this is not Glen Miller´s Orchestra, for sure! This version is a real jazz version. No idea who´s playing, though. 4.- Jimmie Lunceford? 5.- Charlie Parker playing “Star eyes”. The phrasing, the tone, the total command of the horn, everything says it´s HIM. I don´t have too many Bird live dates, so I can´t guess which recording this low-fidelity track was taken from. Benedetti? Did you finally pick it? 6.- Hey, this is about jazz masters. Milan´s favorite musician playing “Don´t be that way”. 8.- Benny Goodman / Lionel Hampton / Charlie Christian date. Additional research needed to identify tune and recording. 9.- Old Testament Basie´s worst sounding broadcast ever! 10.- What a change of pace regarding sound quality! 11.- How could you avoid including Lady Day! Beautiful rendition of “Any old time” with some very long-lived clarinetist´s orchestra. Couldn´t find a link, but it´s on volume 4 of the complete 1933-44 master takes in some Spanish label, and in volume 6 of the complete collection on some French label. 12.- Woody Herman´s Four Brothers. 13.- I know the song, but can´t bring a name. Hell, I´ll check this one! 15.- This one was easy. Track 6 from this one: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...=glance&s=music 16.- Tune is “Outskirts of town” (Waller/Razaf). Who´s singing? 20.- Gillespie´s tune “Oop Bop Sh'Bam”. But not by his orchestra. Googlin´ research brings Billy Eckstine. 21.- Maxine Sullivan. I DO NEED to get a great deal of recordings by this lady! 22.- “Gone with the wind” in Session 22 from this discography: http://csis.pace.edu/~varden/navarro/discog.html 23.- “Lady´s in love with you”. Her voice sounds familiar. 24.- More BASIE to end this disc. Great music, Milan! I´ll try to check some tracks when I get home.
  9. I voted yesterday.... and now I can´t remember who I voted for! That´s what happens with this kind of polls... each day you´d vote for a different musician!
  10. I voted for JJ (not too original, eh?) But I agree with Chuck and Brownian Motion, and would have included Dicky Wells, JC Higginbotham, Jimmy Harrison, Claude Jones, Benny Morton, Vic Dickenson... and Miff Mole! BTW: how many polls are left?
  11. Another top-notch baritone player, not mentioned, is Ernie Caceres.
  12. I have to go with Harry Carney!
  13. don't get burned. How could I?
  14. Milan: your disc arrived. I´ll try to listen to it "carefully" in a few days.
  15. Have you ever heard/heard of Mr. Five by Five? -_-
  16. nope, we only have "oorlog." But old Dutch (neerlandés)? The official Diccionario de la Real Academia de la Lengua Española says so. They probably picked that up when we were fighting the Spanish for our freedom from the mid-1500s to the mid-1600s... B-) they had 80 years for that you know. You want warre?

  18. You're such a chauvinist Brownie I think brownie merely pointed at the internal inconsistency of the french language with respect to this word. No, I think he's just got the derivation wrong - not every word comes from France. This word, as it's being used here, comes from Spanish. Does the "illa" suffix mean anything in French? While recognizing the french and spanish have a common source, I was merely pointing out that the anglosaxon spelling of this word comes from the spanish which is where the word comes from-and is therefore spelled quite correctly. And now here comes skeith who seems to be on a crusade of his own and is more and more on the lookout for confrontations Actually, the French word 'guerre' comes from ancient German as this specialist site - in French - indicates: http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/epc/langueXIX/dg/08_t1-2.htm And I have been around long enough to know that a guerrillero is somebody who joins the guerrilla! Guerrilla is what I wrote and it was what I meant! You want to stage a guerrilla about that? And next time you pick up from Wikipedia as you did to give a spanish origin to 'guerre', just indicate your source. Don't think Wikipedia is the ultimate reference. Look Brownie, I know you assume we americans are too ignorant to speak any language other than english, but as it happens I speak spanish. I only have the vaguest clue as to what Wikipedia is and no I did not look it up there. You said you enjoy seeing people mess up trying to speak French and I see you messed up on Spanish. .. he who lives by the sword. I am sure you meant what you wrote, I don't question it - it's just wrong. I don't care to peruse your specialist site. If it came from German it probably went to Latin before french and therefore came to spanish the same way. Guerre may be french but guerilla is clearly spanish. Is "illa" a common sufffix in french? Hasta luego Talkin´ about war... B-) The Spanish word guerra also comes from German werra/wërra (old). No Latin here, as Latin word was bellum. We use the adjective bélico (related to war), but not the noun. So, both French and Spanish words derive from old German. It also went to Dutch warre. Couw? Enough casus belli for today!
