EKE BBB

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

First post in this thread. I think I´ll be able to read it through in a couple of years, if only to practise my English reading..... and to learn a bit about free jazz from you, crazy FREE-zealots ) Don´t know if it has been mentioned before, but FWIW I´ve just seen at jazzmatazz that there are two upcoming Peter Brötzmann releases: NEW Brötzmann Clarinet Project - Berlin DJungle (Atavistic Unheard Music Series 246/FMP Archive Edition) July 27 — six clarinetists: Peter Brotzmann, John Zorn, Tony Coe, Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky, Louis Sclavis and J.D. Parrin — plus Tony Oxley: drums, William Parker: bass, Toshinori Kondo: trumpet, Johannes Bauer and Alan Tomlinson: trombones — recorded at JazzFest Berlin 1984 NEW Peter Brötzmann - Medicina (Atavistic 149) Sept 14 — new trio recording Great thread, guys! B)

24 members have signed so far. Special thanks to all those who offered to cooperate distributing the discs. I´ll do it for myself. I´d like to know as soon as possible if the people who lives in distant places (White Lightning, marcoliv, dutchmanx... anyone more???) will join the BFT#13, in order to send them the discs early this week. Thanks! EDIT: mmilovan, dutchmanx, White Lightning and marcoliv have been included in the list

First of all, thanks to Daniel A for putting together a very nice collection of music. I have really enjoyed this BFT... not many guesses, though! B) 1.- It´s Dizzy Gillespie´s Afro-Cuban "Manteca", but I have no idea of who´s playing. 2.- "Have you met Miss Jones?" (R. Rodgers/L. Hart). My first idea was Teddy Wilson, but it isn´t. The pianist is somebody with a "classic swing" heart, but maybe a bit more modern (50´s ???) 3.- This ensemble was easily recognizable. One of my favorite trumpet players with a wonderful quintet! Track 2 of THIS DISC 4.- "Poinciana", I think. No clue on the pianist. Good one! 5.- A good trumpet player who turned into a pop/funk/soul player later in his life. This is track 28 from this MOSAIC 6.- "This could be the start of something..." My wild guess is that Canadian pianist who was called "the little Art Tatum", but I´m not very convinced and can´t give a recording date. Not sure, really. 7.- Good combination of tenor sax, trombone and piano. Like it! 8.- Hancock´s "Maiden voyage". No clue on who´s playing. 9.- I don´t like that soprano, no, I don´t. 10.- CTI???. I can´t dig electric piano and this style of "sound", actually, so this track´s not my kind of stuff. 11.- Soprano plus alto? This song looks like never takes off. 12.- "I cover the waterfront". Who on hell is singing? The vocals in the introduction reminded me of Björk but she hasn´t done, AFAIK, this kind of stuff. No, it´s not her!!! 13.- but no clue 14.- "Here´s that rainy day" (Burke / Van Heusen) 15.- Funny way to end this nice BFT. A rehearsal of a tune I should know, but I don´t! Thanks again, Daniel. Really expectant to know the answers for some of the tracks, specially 2, 4, 7 and 13.
