Ah, I see... that makes more sense! I thought "kept the name" meant she kept her birthname... There's an entry for Gilbert Rovère (as Bibi Rovère) on French wiki: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibi_Rovère

Yup, merry christmas to you all... eat much, drink more, have healthy good fights with your family, enjoy your turducken etc etc

late for the party - happy birthday! :party:

Interesting... so she was called Rovère and by chance married another Rovère? But Paul was Gilbert's (Bibi's) brother, right? There's not even a wiki entry on him, and the Loustal Barney Wilen site spells him without the accent!

And probably she's right, ain't she? Kind of in the same boat here... if I don't explicitly ask for something, I won't get any music, and this year I didn't ask for anything... but getting music at any other time than x-mas or birthday (and I assume a gift on Dec. 23rd isn't an x-mas gift? Or just a "sort of"?) is quite impossible to imagine...

The Yuri Gagarin of psychedelic guitar? r.i.p. - will spin some Janis Joplin these days...

The box arrived yesterday, and of course I had to pay some custom fees/VAT and all... but gee, it looks great! From the "classically designed" boxes, it might indeed be the most beautiful one I've seen (contenders, though not "classically designed", would be the Ayler box, the Charley Patton box, the Ray Charles box). Maybe the Ellington Centennial would be similarly fine if you could open its book without being afraid it falls apart (mine hasn't so far). I have a quick look at the booklet, and it's great, with lots of fine photos - was that the sister or wife of [one of the] Rovère and was Chet romantically involved with her? There's also an attempt to re-create the diary of Chet's months in Europe, and it's all in French and English, very nice!

Will have to so some further exploring here... just got "Dedicated to You, But You Weren't Listening" yesterday, and it's great! Other than that, my Tippett(s) collection is mostly radio broadcasts, and the FMP "Mujician I/II", which is one of the finest solo piano discs I've heard!

Sad news. Though to be honest, she's another one I wasn't even aware of her still being around Will play that Lateef Savoy session later one, it's on top of the listening pile anyway.

Hm, very weird interview... I get the impression it's fabricated - many all-too-general statements, it seems like either Fuller just didn't answer the questions, or they just had a chat and the interviewer later made up some questions to put into the transcript. Also sorry to say, but the language is pretty... "holprig" I'd say in german. Anyway, it's great that Fuller's still going strong, and I wish him all the best and that he can go on for as long as he wants to!

Those two are on their way now!

I don't have the Jasmine/Progress stuff yet (aren't there two Dizzy Reece discs?), but the Duke Jordan album is indeed great (and also the place I first heard Reece). There's however another one that should not be overlooked for sure! Asia Minor (Prestige/OJCCD) Line-up: Dizzy Reece, Cecil Payne, Joe Farrell, Hank Jones, Ron Carter, Charlie Persip

There's also some electric piano on at least one of the Basie/Peterson Pablo discs, they both play electric piano (one at the time).

Ah well... the only "payback" from my blog is that I can change in my "rapidpoints" for a premium every once in a while... this time it was a 50€ amazon thingie and I went with amazon.de, which offers the Baker box for a pretty good prize. I'm not sure I'd have gotten it otherwise...

I eat burgers in pubs... but I am a bürger, autrement dit, un citoyen

waiting for one of these suckers to arrive at my place... had some credit w/amazon and it cost me 14€

got the disc yesterday and gave it a spin late last night... very good!

About the PMs: In IE7, there's no "subject" line, just a "to" and "additional recipients" line, and then the text box. So no PMs can be sent, it just produces an error because a subject has to be included... Again, I'm not using IE7 at my own will, rather at work it's just what I have, and I have no choice there, alas!

hilarious story! earlier thread here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=56420

Mary Halvorson Trio tonight - been looking forward to this one for months! Saw her in spring with Taylor Ho Bynum's sextet, a fine but somewhat heady, restrained set.

Nope, go to "full reply" and open the "options" below (a round green button), there you can add them!

Being a late-comer, I only saw "The Ipcress File" about two or three years ago, and I enjoyed it a lot. It's certainly one of the funniest parodies on its genre, and Caine with his silly goggles is great!
