Thanks everyone... off to the dentist's soon, hope to be better after that!

Haven't bothered to read anything yet... but enjoy the box a lot!

I'll have to get "Faces"! The "Latin Kaleidscope" album was part of an earlier twofer titled "Three Latin Adventures" (it was paired with "Fellin 712" there).

It's past midnight over here, so I'm handing over my reign, crown, warts an'all to Aggie87! All the best, Erik, and many happy returns! :party:

Thanks a lot everyone! Bad luck day losing (well it's not lost, but it did fall out) my effing temporary front tooth during birthday dinner in the restaurant tonight... yawn... as if this whole darn thing of having to replace a tooth that's been dead for (by now about) two thirds of my life and had seen lots of work done with an implant isn't enough (it will take most of this year it seems). Ah well, other than that I'm doing fine and have no major trouble to complain about... so that's that... Guess I'll look *much* worse than Lauren Hutton tonight... ... but then I always do, anyway

Thanks a lot, everyone! One of the gifts I just got is a night at the Schaffhausen Jazzfestival! Mêre ubu will join the proceedings as the parade will be off to catch: - Omri Ziegele Where’s Africa Trio (with Irène Schweizer & Makaya Ntshoko) - Miniatur Orchester (led by sax player Araxi Karnusian - check her out, she's good! Her website's down, but a sample can be found here: http://www.yvp-music.de/3147.htm) - Malcolm Braff Voltage (with Patrice Moret & Marc Erbetta) Looking forward to that! Malcolm Braff is a treat each time, and I've not nearly seen Ms Schweizer as often as I should have!

There's mess done in Billy Bang's great "Vietnam: The Aftermath" (Justin Time, rec. 2001). The timings given on the traycard (and not repeated elsewhere) are totally wrong, Sonny Fortune is said to play flute on #7 and #8 but there he is on #6...

Is mikeweil's Patterson disco still around here somewhere? Best source of information for such questions!

so how do Schopenhauer and exta-sensory go together?

Yay! Leave me some of that cake, Marcel! Thanks everyone!

Thanks, everyone! Having a quiet day, playing some Billy Bang... Love that foto, thanks kinuta!

Well, I guess David's point in short is that the piano wasn't conceived as a single-note/linear instrument and has many possibilities that go beyond that... and that too many pianists following Bud's "horn-like" playing don't make use of these possibilities. Not too much fault in that observation, if you don't automatically make a value statement out of it. Oh, and I do love Parlan's playing!

Mine's ok, also.

Nah, but he should have punched Lee in the face for that

brownie, you don't happen to have the Franco Cerri and Zodiac for me?

Btw, the Nat Cole Hip-O arrived yesterday - thanks again for the recommendation, it does look splendid, and there seems to be enough new music for me, after all!

That's why they serve beers in plastic cups nowayday...

There's also a note about it somewhere, I think.

Sorry if my irony was lost... guess I should add more smilies, then.

I'll thrown in Fred Hersch... not very familiar with his music yet, but more and more intrigued by it. Also Kenny Werner. And Marc Copland (get "Time Within Time", the solo disc on Hat - I got that as a freebie when interviewing WXU some years back, had no expectations and all and was quickly spellbound).

Amazon and the iTunes store have been pretty sloppy about this. They should hire Sue Mingus. I don't know why the bigger labels haven't complained. They would quickly close shop then, I guess... They, this time, being the Amazon and iTunes stores. They, in the previous post, being the RIAA that's going to sue y'all for buying these illegal releases

Thanks for letting us know. It's not what I was hoping for and I don't do downloads. Oh well. Fortunately, I do have the studio track on the Stan Getz and the Cool Sounds CD that Verve released in 2002 Yes, me too... but with all the other tracks of that disc available elsewhere in its right place (chronologically speaking, not realease-wise) that disc would have been one to pass on otherwise. As for good customer service... still no reply whatsoever from Hip-O-Select (I used the well-hidden contact information you find when you visit the "help" section of their site). That's more than lousy for what seems to be a "boutique label" or whatever they call that... one that is supposed to care for the music, not just the bucks. Very disappointing. Hope they read this! The lesson might read something like: fegh off you nuisance you, give us your $$ and shut up now!

Very, very sad news - I really do feel like crying right now.
