EKE BBB

Sure, I understand that 100%. But the thing is, this doesn't really have anything to do with actually engagingothers on the political threads.....you simply don't even want to see the forum title show up on your screen as though it doesn't even exist. Well fear not EKE, you'll get to see the signature line each and every time that I post after you! *just kiddin' ya You´re a provocateur (guess you have your first warn, je, je, je... )

A lot of old stuff (New Orleans, Dixieland), big band, bop, cool, hard bop, modal jazz, neobop... almost everything in my hands but fussion (I really can´t dig it). My next target is free jazz. Apart from the initial avant-garde (Coltrane, Dolphy, Mingus...) I have a few free jazz recordings: some Cecil Taylor, some Archie Shepp, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Braxton, Cherry, some Ayler... I have to learn a lot!

Jim: I can see a warning bar only below my profile (not under other member´s profile and avatar). My bar is "orange" and has 5 blocks. There´s a "0%" inscription before. Does it mean I have 5 out of 10 warnings? Or does it mean I have 0% of my allowed warnings? BTW: I think I´ve never been engaged in name-calling or hard discussion. Just stepped in Wingy´s at AAB affair to clarify what happened there. Anyway, thanks for your hard work improving this wonderful BB!!! You´re doing a great job here!

Thanks, Jim!

I´m aware of what´s happening in the world... but don´t come to a JAZZ FORUM to talk about politics! Peace

He appears in "Abbey is blue" (some tracks with Cedar Walton, some tracks with Wynton Kelly). One of my favorite records by Abbey Lincoln.

Geeeeez, an all-Balcanic-swing-from-the-thirties Blindfold Test!!!

WHAT IS THIS??? http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/jazz/reviews/el...se.shtml#review

Oh my God, DEEP has been bi-located (from the Spanish "bilocación": the simultaneous presence of a person in two different places) In case you need further information, check this SITE

Fabulous idea. Put my name on that "non-political member" list too!

I totally suscribe P.D.´s comments. And the story at AAJ was EXACTLY as he related. Nobody´s been banned for a simple post. Just to clarify the facts (as nobody seemed to confirm what P.D. wrote). Last post here.

This shit´s going too far... in just one day!

Till I find the Proper Box for a good price at a local store I need to sate my Tatum hunger ... just picked (for a budget price) this Fresh Sound release: In Private (FSRCD 127) Art Tatum, piano solo Tracklisting: 1. Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams (Barris-Koehler-Moll) 2. Sittin' An' A Rockin' (Strayhorn-Ellington-Gaines) 3. You're Drivin' Me Crazy (Walter Donaldson) 4. Tenderly (Walter Gross-Jack Lawrence) 5. Over the Rainbow (Arlen-Harburg) 6. In a Sentimental Mood (Ellington-Mills) 7. You Took Advantage of Me (Rodgers-Hart) 8. She's the Talk of the Town (Livingston-Symes-Neiburg) 9. She's Funny That Way (Moret-Whiting) 10.I'll Never Be The Same (Malneck-Signorelly-Kahn) 11.Night and Day (Cole Porter) Source tape: Harry Babasin These rare and historic recordings were originally made on a private tape at Art Tatum's home, during his time in California at the end of the forties (1949 or 1950). Originally released as Jazz Chronicles JCS 101 (don´t know if the Fresh Sound includes added material). EDIT: looks like no added tracks, because JCS 101 included 11 songs. 7 out of 11 tracks are included in the Proper Box. The AMG review (for the Jazz Chronicles release) mentions "not flawless sound". My copy (Fresh Sound Records, 1991) has very, very, very good sound, to these ears! Very recommended for any Tatum fan!

Re: Big Bill Broonzy: You´re right, John! I´ve seen at some on-line stores that its release date was September 22.

Stupid of me! I´ve been waiting for too long, hesitating because I had much of this material, and now... it´s gone!!!!!

I´ll vote against this review, as well, though I haven´t read Chris´ book yet. These comments full of venom and personal hates should be deleted! This stupid piece of poison has lowered Bessie´s average rating to *** out of *****.

Chris: Hardbop again? AMAZON REVIEW * (one star) Dull, bizarre book about a great singer November 13, 2003 Reviewer: A reader from United States Unfortunately, this is a very poor book. The author plainly has many scores to settle with fellow critics and pays more attention to himself than the subject. Much of this book is shallow, much is just bizarre. It's a shame, as this singer deserves to have a very decent book written about her compelling legacy. Some things never change... PS: finally I ordered it as an import in a local book store. I´ll pick it in a few days. Can´t wait!!!

According to Jazzmatazz, they´ll be out on January 2004: -Big Bill Broonzy - All the Classic Sides 1927-37 - 4 CDs (JSP 7718) -Sonny Terry - 1938-48 - 5 CDs (JSP 7721) Any comments? The Broonzy sounds goooooooooooood!!!

Anyone heard this? Bill Evans Trio - Live In London (Harkit [uK]) Release Date: Nov 25 (according to Jazzmatazz) — previously unreleased live recording made at Ronnie Scott's club in March 1965 — includes a backstage interview

Booker Ervin: I DO LIKE his sound. Then, Shafi Hadi and George Adams.

I´d be very pleased to compile one blindfold disc, but as a newbie on this Blinfold Test Forum, I´ll wait my turn Could I do, say, #15 ?
