EKE BBB

Still in the LAST CHANCE list! It´s been RUNNING LOW or LAST CHANCE since November 11, almost 7 months! Anybody knows how many are left? Not that I care, as I picked mine some weeks ago...

Morgan/Shorter disc 1

Oops, France Postal Service works fast, brownie!!!

HRS sessions disc 1

Brief visit to Madrid Rock: My deficit on Ornette Coleman is still important, but I´m trying to recover... -Ornette! -Tomorrow is the question -Something else!!!! And a couple of Cecil Taylor Candid discs: -Air -NY City R&B About 60 € in total. Good price, specially including the Cecil Taylor CDs which are hard to find in Spanish stores.

Don´t believe any of the guys posting above... MOSAIC SETS ARE DA SHIT If you´d become a Mosaic-addict, prepare yourself to spend tons of dollars purchasing sets and sets from their website... If you´d become a Mosaic-superaddict, prepare yourself to have a second mortgage trying to collect OOP sets from members of this board or on e-bay... This will ruin your budget... and even could ruin your marriage (in case you have a wife)... B) So, don´t believe them. AVOID MOSAIC SETS!!!!!!!!! PS: now I´ll go and listen to my last two purchases, the Morgan/Shorte Vee Jays and the HRS sets... then I´ll head for disc 3 of the OOP Sam Rivers set I recently purchased from a member of this board.

Mine too. Probably DHL now owns Airborne Express. BTW, I´ll follow your advice and order from now on by surface mail, though sometimes this shipping option between USA and Spain implies huge delays.

Great you´re getting into NO jazz style, wesbed. Try with some King Oliver groups, any Jelly Roll Morton, early Bechet, some Johnny Dodds... you´ll find many, many details in those wonderful artists and in their collective improvisation.

My Morgan/Shorter and HRS sets will ARRIVE TODAY!!!! (incredibly, I ordered them this Monday!!! ) I always use the surface shipping option - cheaper and safer (as far as damages are concerned). And then, swiss customs and postal services are incredibly slow on times, so I don't count on getting them too soon - and as our dear friend couw notes, I've got too many discs to listen to, anyway Tell us what you think of the music once you start listening! ubu In my last two Mosaic orders (one by surface mail, this last one by Airborne Express) I´ve had to pay customs. (Shit, way too much customs fees!!!). But in my previous 30+ orders from Mosaic and some other on-line stores from USA, I never had to pay any customs. Many of those packages were much more voluminous and expensive than these two last ones. So, I guess it´s a change of policy in Spanish customs. Maybe because of the NEW RELATIONSHIP STATE between Spain and USA.... (Fuck politics, btw) B)

My Morgan/Shorter and HRS sets will ARRIVE TODAY!!!! (incredibly, I ordered them this Monday!!! )

Thanks for the corrections, Mike. You´re very critical with Lord´s discography. I find it a very useful tool for us collectors, with its mistakes and omissions. For the latter, it´s very remarkable with non-US musicians or, at least, I´ve searched and checked Spanish musicians and there are a lot of omissions for musicians and sessions. Well, I´m supposing it pretends to be a COMPLETE discography for non-US musicians as well. And I bought the last edition, version 4.4, a few weeks ago. So, I can´t compare with previous versions. Thanks again for you input.

More Czech jazz*: The Veleband Big Band - Ellington in Prague. A tribute to the Duke (ARTA, 1999) Czech modern big band paying homage to the Ellington / Strayhorn songbook. It includes some nice arrangements, though I´m not accustomed to hear the highly featured electric guitar on the spotlight when hearing to Ellingtonia. I don´t like the heavy electric bass and the keyboards on some passages, though. Good horns sections, specially the reeds and the trombone. Earthy (and a bit rough) vocals on "I ain´t got nothing but the blues" and "Don´t get around much anymore". The opening of "St. Louis toodle-oo" is........... SACRILEGE! THIS IS REALLY SACRILEGE, UBU!!! If Bubber Miley would stand up from his grave... The guitar passages turn things right again! Interesting disc. Got it about three years ago, but haven´t played it for too long. *copied from the What are you listening to? thread

How many Ellingtonia songs can you count? B)

... these two... and 2.382 tunes more, believe me!

Yeah. Jimmie Noone´s orchestra with Earl Hines, that is!

From his website: http://www.lordisco.com/tunes/B25.html Will check my CD-Rom to confirm it tonight.

it's about time I gave you something else to do... Just waiting...

Yes, and

In one more of my stupid statistical surveys I took my time to go through the astounding list of songs (238.000+) included in Lord´s Discography database, to discover the SONGS INCLUDED IN MOST SESSIONS. With all the well-known precautions regarding the completeness of this discography, and leaving aside the fact that in some sessions alternate takes may be included (what would probably change the results), here´s the list of SONGS INCLUDED IN 500+ SESSIONS: St Louis blues 1.456 Body and soul 1.309 Sweet Georgia Brown 1.086 Summertime 994 Take the A train 932 Stardust 915 Round midnight 900 Honeysuckle rose 892 Caravan 840 All the things you are 830 Basin Street blues 824 After you´ve gone 772 Tiger rag 765 When the saints go marching in 764 My funny valentine 749 Yesterdays 743 Indiana 737 I can´t get started 733 Ain´t misbehavin´ 719 Sophisticated lady 711 Autumn leaves 704 Royal garden blues 692 Mood indigo 686 Lover man 680 Stella by starlight 680 I´ve found a new baby 671 On the sunny side of the street 666 Satin doll 666 The man I love 663 Muskrat ramble 641 Perdido 626 Georgia on my mind 609 How high the moon 602 Love for sale 599 Tea for two 597 Stompin´ at the Savoy 596 Willow weep for me 590 All of me 572 I can´t give you anything but love 571 Tin roof blues 566 Blues my naughty sweetie gives to me 563 In a sentimental mood 552 High society 536 I got rhythm 532 Just a closer walk with thee 526 That´s a plenty 526 What is this thing called love 520 Embraceable you 510 These foolish things 509 Cherokee 508 Theme 504 Don´t get around much anymore 502 Limehouse blues 501 I got it bad and that ain´t good 500 A few surprises, eh??? :rsmile:
