EKE BBB

Let´s give a proper welcome to our first (first???) female participant, patricia.

You´re in, Volkher! Prepare your ears for some weird music! B) RDK and billyboy also added to the list.

Nothing...

I think you made a very good point here, Bev. We all take Jazz too seriously many times (trying to define it, analyze it....), forgetting that it´s all about ENJOYING THE MUSIC. Yeah, that comment brought a smile to my face... So jazz (or at least jazz boards) makes you happy too!

John, whip him!

RDK added to the list. Now you´re 29... and growin´... B)

Anyway you´ll post later than him, dear procrastinator...

Discs goin´ to the other side of the pond have been mailed today. White Lightning, yours too! B)

I haven´t ever seen him live, but from what I´ve heard on record, I rate him as one of the nowadays tenor sax true giants.

Great choice! Here´s the cover: =================== EDITED to add a bigger cover

According to jazzmatazz, it hasn´t: The Dizzy Gillespie Quintet with Charlie Parker - TBD (Uptown) Spring 2004 — previously unreleased 1945 Town Hall performance! — with Al Haig, Curley Russell & Max Roach — from acetates discovered in a flea market!

I´ve planned to put the discs going to USA on the mail tomorrow.

Thanks, D.D. I´ll put them on my ever growing wish-list.

ON THE EDIT: Just answered my own question: it does. Thanks, Chaney! Don´t you think the new Brötzmann disc is a bit hard for the virginal creature I am? B)

HRS sessions, disc 3

I´ve really learned a lot being on this forum. I´ve discovered new artists, new styles, new recordings.... My jazz tastes have been widely broadened. This board´s the best way to keep you updated on what´s goin´ on in jazz (magazines are always one or two months behind) and it´s a lively and enriching discussion among all kind of people (musicians, producers, critics, collectors, scholars, simple aficionados.... ) about ANY jazz matter you can think of. I owe you a lot, guys!

First discs mailed today. 25 members have already signed up.

You all make me feel so young... ...and ignorant!

Yeah, Ayler´s music would be good as a lullaby ...with my youngest son´s cries as a counterpoint

You know I´m an old-fashioned swing lover, Flurin, but I try to enlarge my ears, even with NOIZE!!!

You´ll be missed here. Wish you the best. Agustín

Great, mike!

Flurin, you were the "baby in jazz" guy! Man, at 13 I was a bit of a pop-sinister (Echo & the Bunnymen, the Cure, the Smiths, Joy Division, Siouxsie, Psychedelic Furs...) trying to leave that stuff apart, taking my time with 60´s and 70´s rock and hard-rock.... and starting with the blues, which leaded me to jazz... Wish I had started with jazz before.

Mid 90´s
