It's what they call an incidental soundtrack, most of the pieces are worth listening to no more than once. I bought it only because it was cheap and obscure. in other words - save your money for something else. IMO.

His ECM date, The Girl From Martinique is pretty neat. I don't know if it's on cd. RIP

Awesome. In that case I also recommend this album -

1. MATCHMAKER, MATCHMAKER from FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, on Capitol Cannonball Adderley Nat Adderley cornet Cannonball Adderley alto sax Charles Lloyd tenor sax, flute Joe Zawinul piano Sam Jones bass Louis Hayes drums NYC, October 19 & 21, 1964 This album is an often overlooked Cannonball gem, imo. Lloyd is a killer on the flute. 2. NAVARACK, from HARMONIC CONVERGENCE, on Dem Dem's Demos Nick Demopoulos Nick Demopoulos guitar Katisse Buckingham saxophones, flute Mike Elizondo bass Joel Alpers drums Los Angeles, 1997 A jazz buddy stumbled upon this one in a used bin and it killed him. I played my burned copy to death, hooked up with Nick and bought my own from him direct. This is one of the best albums of the 1990s, again imo. You've got to get it. Whoever is interested I can probably get Nick's email address. Totally unknown players, I wasn't surprised that no one had gotten it right. The melody is Mediterranean or Middle-Eastern in a Tristano way, a cerebral blues maybe. 3. OPUS D'AMOUR, from LEE KONITZ MEETS DON FRIEDMAN, on Camerata Lee Konitz Don Friedman Piano Lee Konitz Sax (Alto), Sax (Soprano) Tsutomu Okada Bass Jeff Williams Drums Japan 1996 It's not the crème de la crème Lee Konitz performance from the last 10 years, but it's just nice. It's a mellow very well recorded album. I'm surprised noone guessed Don Friedman, that was a let-down. 4. 3 from MAGIC WATER, on AVA Records Anatoly Vapirov Yury Parfionov trumpet, flugelhorn Yury Kuznetsov piano Vladimir Volkov bass Stoyan Yankoulov tupan, percussion Andrey Prozorov alto sax Anatoly Vapirov soprano sax Varna, Bulgaria August 2, 1997 It's a pretty neat cd, not sure if it's available. These are the live tracks from the Varna Summer Jazz Festival in Varna, Bulgaria. Citizens of 3 Eastern European States converge in a wild rodeo of a tune. the rest of the disc is wild too. 3 is the track title, not a mistake. 5. WHEN SUNNY GETS BLUE, from THE NEWEST SOUND AROUND, on RCA Victor Jeanne Lee, vocals Ran Blake, piano NYC, 11/15/61 Wow, what can I say. It's one of those albums that will continue being avant-garde forever. I love this record. 6. HIGH HOPES, from the IMPRESSIONS OF A PATCH OF BLUE Walt Dickerson Walt Dickerson vibes Sun Ra piano, harpsichord, celeste Bob Cunningham bass Roger Blank drums, timpani NYC, ca. late 1965 This was my first introduction to Dickerson, when I was only beginning my jazz journey and lurking at the then brand new BN Board. This record is like a painting at the Frick or a good book. 7. ANGEL from the NEW KINGDOM, on Delmark Roy Campbell Roy Campbell Trumpet, Flugelhorn Ricardo Strobert Alto Sax, Flute Bryan Carrott Vibes William Parker Bass Zen Matsuura Drums This is a pretty charged record from inside, they deliver the message. A William Parker tune, btw. 8. STRATUSPHUNK, from NOW'S THE TIME Hal McKusick Charlie Persip Drums Frank Socolow Alto Sax Connie Kay Drums Jay Cameron Baritone Sax Barry Galbraith Guitar Milt Hinton Bass Bill Evans Piano Art Farmer Trumpet Hal McKusick Alto Sax NYC, 1957 We all love that tune, I think. I just recently bought this cd and have been spinning it, so it was a natural for the BFT. I think most of you know more about McKusick than I. 9. EL SONIDO NUEVO, from EL SONIDO NUEVO: The New Soul Sound, on Verve Cal Tjader Eddie Palmieri George Castro Flute, Percussion Tommy Lopez Drums Manny Oquendo Drums Eddie Palmieri Piano Julian Priester Trombone Ismael Quintana Percussion Bobby Rodriguez Bass José "Jochy" Rodríguez Trombone Barry Rogers Trombone, Conga Cal Tjader Vibraphone Mark Weinstein Trombone RVG Studio, NJ, 1966 Sweet cd, but another case when 2 records merged on one cd lose some tracks. I'm on the look-out for the Lps. Afro-Cuban jazz is not my specialty, but I dig this cd a lot, it has not only great tunes, but awesome playing and superb arrangements. I'm buying more Tjader now and definitely more Palmieri. 10. SOLITUDE II from the Soundtrack to the TAXI BLUES, on DRG Records Vladimir Chekasin Somewhere in Europe, ca. 1990-91 Bargain-priced on eBay is the way to go on this one. It's a moody piece, an unusually "together" playing by the member of the ChGT Trio [Chekasin Ganelin Tarasov]. The trio is no more, and the former members have been up to different things, I think Tarasov had a drum duo record with Andrew Cyrille. Ganelin was into electronic music, and who knows what Chekasin has been doing. But here it is.

Should I disclose the track info? 26 people signed up for this BFT, 14 took part in the discussion so far. The other 12 probably thought it sucked so bad they didn't want to upset me. B-)

Money Jungle is pretty progressive. Bill Evans's records were pretty progressive too.

Seems kinda backwards. On a similar note, I've seen a mini-disc drive for pcs which I also thought was of limited use. I'd say you're better off just hooking up your existing tape deck to your pc. Especially if it's a decent Nakamichi machine. Just buy a very good sound card with superior-quality a/d converter and you'll have much better digitized tapes [and Lps]. That's what I'm planing to do.

Herb Alpert once saw Miles Davis perform with what Alpert called the dream group: John Coltrane, Red Garland, Philly Joe Jones, Paul Chambers, and Cannonball Adderley. "They played a two-night concert in L.A.," Alpert recalled. "I was there on the Friday night and it was the most spectacular experience I ever had watching and listening to jazz. So I called all of my friends who I thought would appreciate the music and brought them on Saturday. And? It was the worst f---ing sound I've ever heard in my life!Miles was off, nobody was into playing," Alpert explained. "I'm not kidding, man, in twenty-four hours it went from the greatest experience in jazz to, like, I couldn't believe I was listening to the same group. Miles played a couple of notes, went in the kitchen and got stoned or whatever he was doing - I don't know... It was embarrassing. All of my friends were wondering where I was at." [allegedly] from the Rolling Stone interview.

Ricky, Julian and BUBBLES!!! http://www.trailerparkboys.com/ http://www.bbcamerica.com/genre/comedy_gam..._boys_clips.jsp If you haven't seen this you don't know what you're missing. I've only watched the 1st 2 seasons so far, but man oh man, this is some funny s**t. I'm buying Season 3 dvds.

Mark me in. Will take up Impossible on his burn offer for Rhode Islanders.

Let me guess, it was a $5 lp?

Did you find this at the WFMU fair? Among many others...

So "We Want Miles" and "Miles! Miles! Miles!: Live in Japan '81" are one and the same or ...?

Well, I made it to RI w/1500 lbs. of tile OK. Dodge roared, but delivered. I'm beginning to fall in love with it. 1,200 more lbs. to haul, baby!

Acquired this Japanese 2 cd set yesterday from a local joint in RI[viva independent record stores!]. Wasn't cheap, $30 for a used set, but I don't think I've ever seen it before. I'm not overly familiar with the post-75 Miles, but this is one cool set! Where does this fall in Miles' discography? I haven't seen it discussed on the jazz boards.

Anybody? Bueler?

One of the Ganelin guys? Score one for the bearded gentleman in the produce section!

Cruisin' for bruisin'. Got a '98 Dodge Ram 1500 extended cab. Sweet gas-guzzling beejeezus! A follow-up question - is it safe to transport 1600 lbs. of ceramic tile in this baby for 180 miles or my suspension is going to be shot?

Just recently got this cd on the suspect Fuel label and am a little confused. Liner notes list recording date as 1969, booklet lists Dec 7, 1972. There are 10 tracks on this cd - 1 Alfie 5:08 2 Waltz for Debby 6:40 3 34 Skidoo 6:26 4 Blue in Green 4:07 5 Detour Ahead 5:31 6 Emily 6:48 7 Nardis 11:40 8 Peri's Scope 9:07 9 Some Other Time 5:19 10 Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me) 6:37 Now, were these and the ones below taken off the same recording session? Bill Evans Live in Paris 1972, Vol. 3 (Esoldun [F] FC 125) Radio broadcast, ORTF, Paris, France, Dec 17, 1972 1 Elsa [the only track omitted above] 2 Detour Ahead 3 34 Skidoo 4 Alfie 5 Peri's Scope 6 Blue in Green 7 Emily 8 Who Can I Turn to? 9 Some Other Time 10 Nardis 11 Waltz for Debbie Whatever happened to Elsa? Frisch weht der Wind Der Heimat zu Mein Irisch Kind Wo weilest du?

Seller graded the cover as M-. Look at the bottom of this photo. This is anything but M-, imo.

Never heard of this? Is it on CD? I don't know if it's on cd. It's on the Plainisphere label [swiss?], from 1983.

Brilliant deduction! Indeed, Bulgarian musicians are involved. A wonderful concert recording, imo; very obscure.

2. Close, but not really. This, along with #s 4 and 10 will be the toughest tracks to crack. I'd be surprised if anyone actually did. 4. You got that right. They quote Miles more than a couple of times. 6. You got the players right. You're almost there. It's a must-have recording, imo. 7. Man, you're good. You got Parker, but it's not Daniel Carter on the pipe, but it's one of the NY crew. I'm sure you know him. 10. A hint - it's a member of a well-known European avant-garde [very] small group. Another hint - it's from the soundtrack to a film that got a prize at the Cannes some years ago.

A very nice selection of vinyl at yesterday's fair, better than last year. I decided to concentrate on original pressings and obscure stuff this time around. With the help of the vinyl expert Brownie I had no trouble spending the argent. That lasted for about an hour. Financially depleted, but with a small treasure-trove of black gold we departed to a local coffee house for a reflective discussion of things past. Got a white label promo Coltrane & Cherry, NY address Bud Powell vol.1, NY address Bluesnik, and about 10 other goodies. Time well spent.
