Thanks for your "Guide to Free Jazz on Lester Young", Milan. Your comments on Pres´ solos are highly appreciated by us "closed-ears" listeners!

Please, report on this one when you listen to it. How´s the sound? The only transcriptions I have from the Standard label (the Tatum released on Storyville), sound pretty good!

Can´t wait to receive my "Masterpieces" and "Festival session" copies. They were shipped on February 16, from cduniverse!

I haven´t picked this one yet! I´ve seen it´s available at worldsrecords.com for $20 (2 CD). Any other source? Thanks for the tip, LAL!

It´s great to have you back, Rooster! Notice JSngry has taken advantage in the post count... uh, more than 600! You´d better start a hundred Andrew Hill threads!

This is Mike Ricci´s last post: I think he has shown (once again) as the reasonable guy I thought (and still think) he was. I should recognize that I was negatively surprised at first, when I came back home on Sunday evening and read about all this fuss. My initial posts at organissimo and at AAJ were critical (and somehow caustic), influenced by the momentary state of mind. Now things have calmed down, I hope!

Sad news! Another jazz musician has passed. Wasn´t he one of the pianists in the Volume 1 and Volume 2 Miles Davis Blue Notes alongside Horace Silver? These are among my favorite early Miles discs! BTW: AMG only lists one disc by Gil Coggins as a leader: GIL´S MOOD

Tom: Sorry to hear this. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

In spite of the "lukewarm" review I´ve just ordered "Waiting for the Boogaloo Sisters" from cdbaby. Can´t wait to hear it!

So, we´re not celebrating Bush-Blair-Aznar day?

Go, cowboys, go!

Thanks for those photos, ubu. I hadn´t seen some of them before.... And just for the record....

A different " coloured approach "

One more before I go back to work... PS: Stay tuned: Milan will come with a few dozens of unpublished photos...

Anyone here?

He looks so... mystical???

Must recognize that, when I first saw the thread title, I thought it was another "subliminally political" thread disguised in the Miscellaneous-non-political forum
