So did Threadwell get one?

Wow, a Hawkins box! What fantastic, no terrific news! :excited: :excited: They should make this 20CDs and have it cover all the pre-album-recordings of the mighty Hawk, but no matter what will be in there, I'll definitely get this! Glad to have the Keynote 4CD set though, as that material will not be covered, as I understand?

Nah... but I prefer minimalism of the "dirty" kind as it can be heard with Mal Waldron. Baertsch played (still does, I think) a weekly rehearsal/workshop/gig here, but I never made it there... his clinically clean sound world turns me off. Portico I didn't care for, from the few bits I've heard so far. I do get the "ideas" behind, but they're of little appeal to me. Add me to the ascending lark's camp regarding the frustration about much more interesting musician falling wayside because its lack of a similarly sexy hook. And with that, I'm out of this thread already, don't worry!

If you want Isla, I suggest this one:

I just ordered one of the last copies of "... and William Danced" from Ayler (via priceminister.com - not sure if they have multiple copies, probably not and I was the lucky bastard) - looking forward to hearing more Gahnold there!

Well, if you're one of those sh*tbags that can easily shelve out 200£ or whatever for a single CD, it's not a miracle... but of course the one I got was a bit less than 24€, shipping included. Still not cheap, but hey, I won't complain! Now about that Kenny Graham, that would indeed be a miracle. Also that one by Surman (How Many Clouds...)

I remember the thread, but seems I didn't follow it closely enough! The building on "One Flight Up" looks like it must have been vanished quite some time, wouldn't fit in with modern Paris, too well, would it? Maybe it collapsed just after Dexter had walked away...

great, finally I know where that photo was taken:

Please do! I've got some music from 1964-02-22. Were there two concerts? Or is that date simply wrong?

Trovesi is the one coming to mind here first... but I couldn't point you to a particular disc where he uses it... he plays some kind of sopranino clarinet (not sure what it really is, Eb clarinet, A clarinet, C clarinet... there's all kinds of, but it's shorter and higher pitched than the regular Bb clarinet), alto and bass clarinets, as well as alto sax, but rarely seems to play the regular (Bb) clarinet.

Yes it is: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maison_de_Radio_France

Glad you all enjoyed it!

I already forgot... Also I just noticed my post from last June... I forgot about that, too.

My oscar goes to JLG for "Film Socialisme" - easily best new film I've seen last year.

Happy Birthday, Jon!

Good to know! I do hope I'll really get that one!

I am humbled with this! A big fan of KD, I have that Classics and failed to recognize this track Not a really typical KD contribution. Interesting to find out the identity of the guitar player! Thus was a very interesting Blindfold Test It happens to be best amongst us Glad I could have you join and even happier that you enjoyed the ride! Much welcome! Your comment regarding the Kwela/Matshikiza tune was most enlightening to me - never thought of it from that angle!

What's a "swiss MP"? moronic person?

They, too, stopped shipping internationally! This is a very, very uncool development!

Amazing indeed! Thanks a lot!

That was unintended - but of course not purely by chance... I just do love that music! I only realized it might appear as kind of a theme today, typing up the comments (I had the bare-bones info prepared in advance). Another sub-theme (which I did notice) is on the alto players (Dudu, Osborne, Jones, Gahnold, Marion Brown). I wanted to add a cut from Ric Colbeck's album (with the late Noah Howard), but it wouldn't fit in and I didn't want to exchange any of the selections I'd made.

Wow! Thiss comes as a real surprise! Thanks for establishing that it's THE Johnny Smith we hear here! Great to know!

I ordered one with this cover: That seems to be the 2CD set indeed. It's also listed with that cover on CDUniverse, but the link there to Amazon Marketplace (I've wondered for a while... what's the affiliation of CDU and Amazon? Was CDU taken over?) leads to the same chaotic entries.

Can one really trust the ASIN numbers with marketplace vendors? I'd tend not to... will check more closely, thanks a lot!

Seek and ye shall find: AMG Amazon Amazon Germany Amazon U.K. Amazon France Amazing, thanks! Never even heard of this before! But the amazon-links all lead to single disc releases...
