Here's Spaulding's homepage: http://www.speetones.com/intro.html

brownie sent me this mighty fine disc a while ago, released on Terrones' Marge label in 2006. As I'm spinning it again right now, I thought I'd point it out here: Personnel: James Spaulding - Alto Sax, Flute; Pierre Christophe - piano; Raphaël Dever - bass; Mourad Benhammou - drums Recorded Live July 22nd 2006 at the Sunside in Paris. The group sounds like a working band to my ears, very sympathetic, very creative. Good choice of tunes and some truly fine playing by Spaulding... but let someone who's better with words do the talking: from a bagatellen review posted by clifford on May 7, 2007 3:06 PM - full review here

didn't remember that... what a weak disc, anyway...

I'd say somewhat like Joe's... also maybe some influence from Wayne Shorter's earlier recordings (lyrical part of Shorter, not the harder, edgier one).

I played his BN Conn again yesterday and this time I really liked it very much. The feel of the band is similar to Miles' second quintet, that lyrical open kind of music with an inherent drive... and Henderson's brother is great on tenor (so is the trumpet player, one Charles Moore). In addition to Miles there's some grooves that remind me of the Jazz Crusaders, and a couple of very good tunes, too. I was hesitatingly commenting about the disc in the BN deletions thread, but now on repeated listening, I think this is a very good disc!

racy!

Two more: exploit, forfait. Swiss German rulez. + and of course "gooooool!!!!", not "tooooor!"

Yes, that's a sound piece of advice!

That was in reply to niko's question of course. My MSIE (at work) keeps bitching today, I didn't see the post in between, or I'd have used the quote function...

Both in Swiss German as well as in the Swiss variant of proper/high German, yes. At least I'd say so. It's not a topic I've done much thinking of (or learned anything about in University), but there are many, many regionally used words both in Switzerland and Austria that would seem strange to Germans, I guess. In Switzerland of course there are many French words that are used commonly, as in this case.

after reading that article I linked that seems to be the smarter choice than changing to firefox!

A swiss newspaper's website has a short article today about the MSIE incident. They mention a test that showed that Firefox was even much less secure and claimed it to be the most error-prone Windows programme... as I said: get Opera! here's the link, for the few who understand German: http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/digital/comput.../story/17138380

www.opera.com - great alternative, not known and used widely (and by now even AMG works on it - some sites aren't configured to work well on all browsers, but of late I haven't met any problems with Opera, must have been several years back that I had to open MSIE to read a non-displaying site).

The new ECM 3CD set (including "Playground" to which - as a big fan of Ms. Jordan's - I look forward to particularly) is on my x-mas wishlist now

nah, this is about fake boobs... Or blow-ups ! or "gumisusi" as I'd say in swiss german...

I just have to add "Out to Lunch" and "Speak no Evil" to the great Hubbard sideman albums list! Adams didn't do that much under his own name, did he? The Mode/VSOP is ok, the OJC I don't have, his "Julian" for Enja is very good. But with Jones/Lewis he always was quite a force of nature! One of their most exciting soloists, for sure!

nah, this is about fake boobs...

Agreed on Peterson, too. Also Freddie Hubbard - he is on such a huge number of great and important albums (Ascension, Maiden Voyage, Blues and the Abstract Truth to name just three), yet somehow his own albums (including what likely are my favourites, Open Sesame and Goin' Up) are somewhat less interesting to me. (Don't take this as a harsh comment directed at an ailing musician please, I've always felt like this about Hubbard)

yeah, but it took me almost two weeks to remember about my harsh post... don't worry!

This is absolutely not true. I just spoke to his wife less than an hour ago upon her return from the hospital (which I do almost every day). He's still alive and kicking. Not much change in his condition at this point. Thanks David! Please keep us updated! (you may have noticed I quoted your post from that other discussion above, which already set things right) PS: as you're reading here, allow me (off topic) to mention how much I enjoyed your playing on a recently broadcast show by The Cookers!

nah, this is about you and some doct... ahm, nurses (time to move to the sexy album covers thread...)

yes, but that would really narrow down this thread a bit

Hey, Mike - I'm sorry if I stepped in a bit too harshly. It's just that all the commercial sites have "free shipping (huge print)..... US only (tiny print)" offers going on again and again, and for foreign orders they don't even offer to deduct the US shipping prize or something... sometimes I just get a bit envious of these offers that I can't make use of, and I found it a bit of a letdown to see the same thing here. Either way, of course the person who offers something can decide on how to proceed. Oh, and Tommy, we could ship some stuff to and fro... and no one could interfere, he he
