king ubu

I'm wondering, too ... not that I'm anywhere near the point where I know what I need anways, but ... got the Teldec set, too, and also the Wergo "Special Edition" packing together their three single discs (two of which I've listened to while in highschool, they had them at the library there) ... and I snatched up an Aimard disc that's in the Sony box ("Works for Piano", Vol. 3 of the Edition).

Yep, mine, too - thanks for the report, Jeff, sure sounds like I need to hear it!

Bought one from the ebay seller linked to above - thanks for spreading that link, romualdo! Can't wait to hear it!

Got to add that the pain is very manageable, mostly gone for good after one, maximum two days (and of course you get painkillers, heavy ones, that also help uhm ... the dictionary give me the word "detumescence" but I can't make a sensible phrase out of it ... you know what I mean). My other (upper) front tooth is still in there, but it's dead and has a crown on top - still, it feels very different from the entirely "strange" implant (when you touch it with a finger, when you accidentally hit against it with a fork etc. ... not done much saxophone playing since, I bet that one would bite straight through the plastic mouthpiece!) ... but as I said, after about a year, I've gotten very much used to that.

Oooooooooooh, and ouch, too ... loooooong story here ... got an implant on one of my two dead upper front teeth ... turned out to be much worse "inside" (damaged bone) than expected and visible on x-rays. Operations and all went fine, and I'm trusting my dentist .... but the surrounding work (trying to fill in missing "bone" material around the implant's foundation - sorry, I totally don't know any of the correct terms for all of this!) has been going on for more than a year and no end in sight (I've had three operations trying to fix the façade, so to speak, adding bone material and fixing the gums ... not that it got worse, but it didn't help too much either, and it gets more and more difficult as the gums get more damaged by the on-going cutting and stuffing ...) As it's right in front, I guess an implant is the better-looking variant, but then I think my dentist (who's long started paying the bills for all this, it was on insurance initially) might propose to do a bridge because it would have been easier under the unexpectedly difficult circumstances. Anyway, the implant itself, I've gotten used to it ... it's much stiffer, less flexible, than the "real" teeth around it and that took a while getting used to. I just wish the surroundings will be fixed at the next attempt (to be started shortly).

Indeed!

Making a re-appearance in January, it seems: some discussion of contents in a comment here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00303WQMO/ref=pe_228771_42020801_pe_epc__1p_2_ti hope they'll include that booklet again! but then at that price ... http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00303WQMO/

there you go:

Thought so, but wasn't 100% sure - thanks for confirming! Dean was on the Bridgewater part of the "Bremen to Bridgewater", rec. 1975 ... he might be on other stuff circulating from 1975, and he seems to be on the Moers 1976 concert.

Who's the additional alto player on the photo on the back, there's Dudu facing the camera and an alto on each of his sides, both, uhm, palefaces (beardy times, huh?) ... Mike Osborne to the left, and to the right, Elton Dean? So this photo is from another concert?

At the risk of igniting another storm I don't want .... have you read the Baldwin piece linked above, freelancer? I think that could help ...

Okay, that's about what I'd have expected, the "öö" I mean, so the "i" is more a slight colouring than it's actually being pronounced.

AT rushes time pretty often ... play "Tenor Conclave", go back the beginning of a track once you've reached the end and you'll find the tempo much slower! Not saying AT wasn't a good drummer, of course, but his time wasn't that excellent, it seems. Not sure if it got better, I don't usually pay too much attention. But in the end he's not one of my favourite drummers of that era.

Then why don't they exchange the "o" and the "i"? As it reads, it would be "shiop fa", wouldn't it?

Not sure if I'm saying something wrong ... don't know how the Vogue kicks in (I think Vogue and Swing belong together, don't you have massive overlap there?) ... but the Jazz in Paris discs have no overlap with the Mosaic, if I remember right. And some of them are glorious! This here might help: http://www.gould68.freeserve.co.uk/django.htm

Not to be linky-dinked (though I wonder if that policy has been losened a bit?), but there's this one: from the allmusic review (by "arwulf arwulf"):

33 € at amazon.it gave in an ordered now ...

Oh, I love those Dickie Wells sesssions! And I love Django ... saw that Vogue box, too, but since indeed I eventually had to go for the three Fremeaux "season" sets, I figured I'm all set regarding Django

It still is, just wish there were less

I got mine for a bit more than 40€ in summer (and I think I posted a link back then, too) ... had been eyeing it for months ... but I'm still not sure it's worth getting ... have probably played around 20 discs (and have heard some before, the very good Haydn symphonies by Tafelmusik for instance, there I got the recent cheapo seven disc set). Some of it, I found pretty plodding, prodding, heavy-handed ... guess I don't "get" van Immerseel, really ... but then some of it is very good (the Boccherini discs by Bylsma come to mind, also other stuff by Tafelmusik).

Guess I'm right on the way to there! Started with the solo materials (still haven't played the Liszt disc and that rarities disc and the DVD), but the Schubert (and also the Schumann, not much, alas) is great!

I've recently enjoyed a lot what Schubert there is in the big Decca box by Clifford Curzon though! That's some heavy stuff there ... but it comes from a rather different place than Kempff, I think (more like the Schnabel line, if I dare mention that name again).

Can't really imagine Kempff doing Schubert ... not able to say why, but I can't see his style being fitting too well (and that's not against Kempff at all, I've got a variety of recordings of his, solo, concertos, also some chamber, and love most of them).

Ha, one of the questions is: which train wreck do some nerds think could be kick started? Jim A. and Rolf (son-of-a-weizen) are the only ones who can get rid of spammers and Rolf hasn't been around for months now, while Jim is probably touring. The mods can only delete the messages and they are MIA. Has MG handed in his mod-rights? Guess the merikins are all busy binge-shopping over the whole weekend ... just in case, instead of turducken, next time they could try a stuffed camel:
