Sham Time (Eddie Harris, on "The Electrifying Eddie Harris") The Time of My Life (Carl Burnett - performed by Eddie Harris on "People Get Funny") It's Time To Do What You Want (on "The Versatile Eddie Harris") It's About Time (Eddie Harris, on "Yeah You Right") Time Off (Curtis Fuller - on Art Blakey's "Ugetsu") weird, new posts get incorporated into the previous one with a big double line-break and no "edit"-note or anything... is that a new feature? On Jimmy Heath's Landmark album of the same title, the song (I assume it's the same one?) is called "The Time and the Place".

Living Color - Time's Up

Time on My Hands (Youmans-Gordon-Adamson) sung by Lee Wiley:

Yes, belated best wishes! :party:

A Time and a Place (Jimmy Heath - performed by Harold Vick on "Commitment" and also by the Heath Brothers)

Powell's song was also performed by Roland Kirk!

Time (Richie Powell) (by Roach-Brown Quintet, rec. 1956-02-16 w/Rollins & Morrow, EmArcy MG 36070) Time (Walt Dickerson) (from "This Is Walt Dickerson")

Just in Time (Jule Styne-Betty Comden-Adolph Green)

Bumping this up... I've played some of these discs over the weekend, starting with the two Chambers albums, Shorter's first, "Kelly Great", and also the the first to Lee Morgan albums. These two sets together really form a great body of work! Besides the four co-leaders, there's some mighty fine Clifford Jordan on the Morgan sessions! And as I said before, Adderley plays very, very fine on the first Chambers album! Wonderful music, and I'm looking forward to hearing the "Young Lions" album and the remaining Shorter dates next!

My version has the original notes (as well as Schapp's). They're not very edifying. I see... lots of those 50s Verve albums have notes that say little, in fact!

Yesterday: Circulasione Totale: Frode Gjerstad, saxophones/clarinet; Sabir Mateen, saxophones/clarinet; Bobby Bradford, cornet; Børre Mølstad, tuba; Kevin Norton, vibraphone; Anders Hana, guitar; Lasse Marhaug, elctronics; Morten J. Olsen, percussion/electronics; Nick Stephens, bass; Per Zanussi, electric bass; Hamid Drake, drums; Louis Moholo, drums Quite intense, and with many good moments! Bradford has a beautiful and strong sound on trumpet! And the three drummers were quite something... also Lasse Marhaug did some great stuff and it really made sense having him in this band! Kevin Norton was terrific as well!

Yes, belated best wishes! :party:

Hmm - Bern has at least one jazz LP place (pricey, I recall) and Vancouver is heavily depleted on the LP front in recent years. Used to be good for CDs though with 'A&B Sound's' 20% off deals on everything on Canada Day. Not sure on Zurich but maybe The King can pipe in..? Nothing too useful, but we got them nets for that, don't we? There's a great used record store 20 minutes outside of ZH though, it used to be right near where I live but moved away several years ago. Jazz exclusively, too! You could easily spend a fortune there, and I'm not aware of any similar stores in the surroundings or the rest of Switzerland, so on that account, Zurich should win

"Perceptions" is great indeed!

For Musicians Only is indeed great! I have the old US CD, was there a Verve Master Edition reissue of it? (There was of "Diz & Getz" and of "Sonny Side Up", the later of which I have as VME.) To my ears, the old CD sounds very good! The drag though is that except for some silly Schaap sage-isms on the bonus tracks, there are no notes... or wait, that's on "Duet", I think, yes... still weird, having "additional comments" but no "original notes"...

Well, if Zurich would be on the mediterranean, it would be perfect... Other than that, this list is bull, though of course the local media are proud... (ZUrich was the winner for at least two consecutive years before). I think those that do this list don't even publicise the criteria they're using, so it's all pretty pointless. (And as for me, I'd never want to live in Berne - too much of a stiff old bourgeoisie there, it seems, and extremely hard to make acquaintances if you're a "foreigner", which I'd be there, though it's only an hour by train or car).

As Dan said, libraries take books out of circulation and sell them as "discards." Usually, the books are extra copies, or else the library sees that nobody has checked an item out for a long time - they put the discarded books on sale to the public for a very low price (in the US, usually .25 for paperbacks and .50-1.00 per hardback) and the money is used for buying new books. I would imagine that someone bought the book and brought it to the US. Yeah, probably that's what happened. I can't remember where I bought it from, doesn't seem to have been amazon.com, it's not listed there, but it's no big deal anyway!

I've been playing loads of Dizzy recently, starting out with the earliest date in the Mosaic (with some mighty fine Mobley!), and then playing many of the Granz dates not part of the Mosaic, including the two long Granz Jam Sessions, the album with Getz, the one with Getz and Stitt, Afro, the Verve Big Band 2CD set, the boots from that band, and the great Newport 1957 album, Modern Jazz Sextet, the jam album with Hawkins, Getz and Gonsalves etc... and right now, I'm giving "Duets" a repeated spin... while I have finally connected with both Diz/Getz and "For Musicians Only", I still find "Duets" great and possibly the best of the lot, particularly for several terrific contributions by Sonny Rollins. 1956 certainly was a prime year of his!

Yeah, but how did it get there from Jerusalem? And also, there's not stamp or anything that shows it's been sorted out... ah hell, it's just a paperback of 80 or 90 pages, nothing big, still, I just got curious and wanted to find out about that stamp!

Thanks, Bentsy! Now do I have to feel bad about owning this book? I bought it from a US amazon marketplace seller...

Ok, thanks for all the smartass replies, I enjoyed them! Allen, thanks! And also thanks to seeline. It's not really of any importance that I find out, I was just curious, really... The book is from 1985, it's a paperback I got used recently, a great book if you've got any interest in the subject: George L. Mosse: German Jews beyond Judaism. Indiana University Press, Bloomington / Hebrew Union College Press, Cincinnati, 1985 (Midland Books MB 355). Any of the Israeli members can tell me what that stamp says - Barak, Bentsy?

Happy Birthday! :party:

Happy Birthday! :party: you know there's lots of goodies waiting for you around here... or rather, waiting for me to wrap them up and bring them to the post office

Is this Hebrew? And what does it say?

Haven't dug out "En Route"... and it seems I would like "Uberjam" then... same band as on "Up All Night", I think? And yes, Mehldau is way too low in the mix on "Works for Me", he doesn't even get a push for his solos - very weird. Recording-wise, ScoLoHoFo sounded great to me, but also "Groove Elation" and "Quiet". I just don't get Metheny, he's all too much for me, always under "kitsch" suspicion... As for Eddie, I think "Hand Jive" is also recorded in a bit weird a way, and Harris hasn't got a big tone or anything (maybe that's just how it seems to me, his sound doesn't sound loud and big on records, and I've never seen him live, alas) and somehow he's just not nearly as much of a presence as I'd wished for.
