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 PS: Stay tuned: Milan will come with a few dozens of unpublished photos...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

Happy Prez Day!

BTW: Jazzcorner keeps this "no mention of other jazz boards" policy from long ago. When I first post there, months ago, in a thread called something like "First, stop here and say hello", I innocently mentioned AAJ and organissimo with something like "...I post frequently at AAJ and organissimo and I hope I will have time to post here...". Well, without any warning, my post was completely touched up, deleting the sentence quoted above. I remember I got very angry with that, replying again in that thread... this reply was deleted as well. I received a PM from the administrator (which I didn´t notice till a couple of weeks past) explaining their policy. I haven´t practically posted there since. Hope this won´t happen with AAJ.

Ah, up to 109 Ellington discs and counting! Ooops, one can´t have a secret!

Couldn´t agree more, Matthew! I can´t find many threads of interest there lately. I keep on posting there basically for the All Birthdays Thread (which is really funny) and for some members´ posts (peter rh, clifton and a few more). BTW, I´d like to know what clifton (who is also an administrator at AAJ and registered here at organissimo and posted during a couple of weeks) thinks about this matter. He´s a thoughtful guy and I really appreciate his input. Maybe I´ll send him a PM. All I can say is that THIS IS MY HOME NOW... as AAJ used to be...

I pre-ordered "Masterpieces" and "Festival session" from cduniverse.com a few days ago for $8.39 each. I´ll keep my old reissue of "Uptown" for now.

Jim, will I be banned for this thread? It mentions not one BUT TWO other jazz boards?

Bad news for the cyberspace jazz community! I didn´t expect this from Mike

I must admit, Bechet sounds good on the instrument. Damned good! As impressive as on clarinet, IMHO

Tadd was a chick? That´s a mistake you make when English is not your first language, you didn´t study it as much as you should have, you´re posting from work, and your boss is around.... B) so your boss is a chick then? Sadly, he´s a fat, greasy bearded man. No sex-appeal at all!

...Duke Ellington!

I´m pretty sure I will finally pick it, Lon. I´m not the "total Bird freak", but of course I´m very fond of him! I have about 20 CDs (the Savoy and Dial masters, his JATP performances, a few concerts and broadcasts, some of his Verve material...). Maybe there are more important gaps in my Bird collection (any advice will be very appreciated), but I´ll purchase the Mosaic anyway!

And once you´ve bought a few dozens... is it worth yet?
