Yes, "Bodies and Soul" - the usual CIMP sound issues, I guess, but the music is terrific! "Fresh" I don't "get" somehow... I'll have to give it another try some day. This one I also like quite some (LP only I think, found a good used copy a few years ago): Phillip Wilson Quartet-Live at Moers Festival Moers Music 01062 D LP Moers, West Germany, 7th International New Jazz Festival 5/15/78 Phillip Wilson-d,perc; Olu Dara-tp; Frank Lowe-ts; Fred Williams-b Broadway Rhumba (8:21) Cha Cha (6:31) This Is For You (4:30) F & L (9:50) It's A Party (11:00) (All compositions by Phillip Wilson) Frank Lowe discography on mindspring: http://www.mindspring.com/~scala/lowe.htm

good luck with your project, sounds interesting!

oh, and I think delivery took so long because the dumbasses from DHL or whoever it was thought my address was non-existing... at least that's what one of the stickers on the parcel said... idiots - their job is to deliver mail but they can't even handle maps and plans and phone books...

My Patton box arrived last night! WOW! Holy, this looks great! The only drawback is that at the back it's fallen apart already, even though of course it was shrinkwrapped and all... no biggie, and it's massiv enough not to fall to pieces anyway, just the "hinges" (?) at the back were sort of stuck to the outher cardboard, like in some huge old accounting book or something, and that's not holding together. Anyway, it looks terrific, and it will likely take me years to actually play all the music and really dig into this, but it's been on my watchlist for a loooong time, and I'm sure whenever I feel like getting deeper into blues territory, this will be a great thing to explore!

yes, I mailed in my order last night as well! this shall be great!

He was discussed a couple of times, but not recently I think. Here's an earlier thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=29468 And the r.i.p. thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=3885 Also I remember some discussion of Lowe in the funny rat thread (put in "frank lowe" in the search topic box at the bottom to find it, the thread's huge): http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=5071

ha, just went to check my mailbox again, and surely even though the mail was sent last night 10.30 our time, it just now appears as the latest mail (displayed after several more recent emails - weird) - great news!

Checked it again yesterday - the german edition is all german, including the wishes. Very enjoyable book!

These still turn up in sales over here... couldn't say if one's available right now, but I can keep my eyes open if you wish. Prize for the disc would be around 15$, plus some for shipping. That's still cheap compared to what new CDs usually cost here. And it might not be shrink-wrapped and show some wear... But it's also still listed on French Amazon (one for 15 euro, the next ones from 44 onwards!! Not sure the second entry would be the b/w digipack version, there were - US, I think - jewel case versions of many of these Vogues out there before): http://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_ss_w?__mk_fr...mulligan+pleyel Best option is here: http://www.priceminister.com/nav/Musique/k...mulligan+pleyel New for 3.80€, used from 5.50-6.30€ - quite a steal! You'll need to know some bits of French to navigate through that site, though.

Manne's "2 - 3 - 4" (I think?) is wonderful indeed! Got an Impulse LP of that one (not sure if it's a mono or stereo, it's fairly old but sound is marvellous!) As for "TV Action Jazz," I just bought this one in a local sale, it's very short (27 minutes), but it's pretty cool - Herbie Mann's on tenor and flute, and Tony Scott on baritone and clarinet. Mundell Lowe is good! I see the Lonehill "complete" one, I guess it pairs this and the follow up "More TV Action Jazz"? Both of those came out (again) in 2007 on Sony/BMG (jewel case editions - not sure if they were part of the RCA Gold Series before, but Amazon also lists a 1999 edition for the first album).

I sent in my order a week ago, added the Teagarden and some singles to it!

Your "out of stock" notices are about the Ayler, right? Not the Patton?

Well, I was in touch with a guy from the site (had them put a Patton aside for me), and he was very quick and kind, so I guess you'd best send them an email and inquire... I will inquire about my Patton shipment as well if I don't get it next week!

it's my third Atzmon disc (got "musiK" and and the earlier "Exile," too) oh, and most of these were bought used and big piles, so I got some discounts.... and one I forgot: Buddy De Franco "Generalissimo + Live Date!" (Lonehill, minus 1 track, will have to buy more to get that missing track, he he)

over the last few weeks: George Benson/Jack McDuff - the recent Fantasy twofer Lockjaw et.al. - Very Saxy (RVG) Monterey 40 years 3CD set Budd Johnson / Charlie Shavers "Live" (Black & Blue) Cat Anderson "Plays W.C. Handy" (Black & Blue) Guy Lafitte / Wild Bill Davis "Lotus Blossom" (Black & Blue) The Chico Hamilton Trio (Fresh Sound) Ike Quebec "Heavy Soul" (Connoisseur) Art Blakey - Lausanne 1960 pt. 1 (TCB) Cannonball Adderley - Lugano, 1963 (TCB) Cannonball Adderley - in yurp (finally found a non-cactus normal CD of this, got the Landmark vinyl, one of my favourite Cannonball and 'teef albums) OP (the bad-mouthed one, not the 'cellist) "The More I See You" (TelArc - horrible label, I agree, but I have to fine Steve Turre albums by them, and some Ray Brown...) Gilad Atzmon "Refuge" (Enja) Ornette Coleman "Dancing in Your Head" (A&M/Verve) Co Streiff Sextet "Loops, Holes & Angels" (Intakt - finally, featuring the great trumpet player Russ Johnson as well as some of Switzerland's best jazz players) Roy Eldridge "What It's All About" (Pablo/Fantasy) Bix Beiderbecke - Masters of Jazz Vols. 4-6 (mostly Whiteman material, a nice companion to...) Bix/Tram/Tea Mosaic (lovely stuff!) Franz Jackson's Original Jass All-Stars featuring Bob Shoffner "Chicago: The Living Legends" (Riverside/OJC) and then some Chrono Classics: Frankie Newton: 1937-39 Gene Krupa: 1935-38 Bunny Berigan: 1936-37, 1937, 1937-38, 1938, 1939-1942 Eddie Condon: 1927-38, 1938-40, 1942-43, 1944-46 Jack Teagarden: 1941-43 Muggsy Spanier: 1939-1942, 1944 Mary Lou Williams: 1944 and just today finally ordered the Gerald Wilson Mosaic (plus the Jack Teagarden, plus as fillers, three singles: Ellington's Cosmic Scene, the Blakey and the Bud Freeman - more Tea on that one!) been working a lot, and now I allow myself some rewards, he he he...

this thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=13978 The book had a german edition sometimes last year, got it for x-mas and it's quite nice, indeed! The photos are mostly "snapshots", not composed photographs, but they're a great bunch of photos to have. And the book in its german edition is set to look like written on an old typewriter etc, pretty cool (it's been published, I think, by Reclam). The wishes themselves are, I think (but I'm not sure) in English (but that in the end doesn't make much of a difference, about 1000 or the total of 900 wishes - 3 by about 300 musicians - are "money" anyway... (sometimes it's simply "1. money, 2. money, 3. money" - but that's not what makes the book special, its the whole thing together that is very nice to have)

yup, welcome back here! sounds like quite some work (for just that reason I save all the installation files of all those downloaded programmes in one folder that I back up now and then - makes it easy to reinstall them, but of course you need to reconfigure everything again...)

7£ for an MP3 download? No way!

still waiting for the Patton to arrive... I'm a bit worried by now as the site says 1 week shipping within yurp, it's been 2 weeks now.

Flurin, I'd steer clear of the Fantasy and look for the Timeless version. Will do - I had a hunch someone would say I shouldn't get the Fantasy

Scored lucky and found three Masters of Jazz by Bix (Volumes 4-6), new, shrink-wrapped - mostly Whiteman sides, in between there are a few sessions duplicated on the Bix/Tram/Tea Mosaic. Now I still need some disc with the Wolverines material - which is the option of choice? The Fantasy? For a selection of Goldkette sides I have the Retrieval single disc. Not the greatest music I've heard, but a couple of great Bix solos on it! As for the Master of Jazz discs, I skipped Vol. 3 and Vol. 7 both of which the store still has. Most of those is on the Mosaic, and I figured I wouldn't need these just for a few Whiteman sides. Am I missing something, or is that an ok decision? I read the discussion on Rifftides (but not yet the main post that prompted it and is linked to at the beginning of the discussion. Not that interesting, really, as some say an old discussion about art and artist... Randy Sandke's short post there pretty much wraps it up for me.

spin span spun? I played some vinyl a couple of days ago... including several of those great Tadd Dameron boots on various Boris Rose labels, and also again the wonderful Don Joseph Uptown album. I need to get that record player fixed and moved to where I spend most of my time... (it's a Lenco L-75 or whatever that was, the "classical" one... I guess it's worth getting it fixed, something about the speed adjustment of the motor isn't properly functioning, and often when I put it in use again after a few weeks, it will take a while until it settles at a constant speed, while before it slows down painfully for several times, and I have to switch it off and on again several times...)

Hey, I still want that CD player of yourse! Don't dare to disappear! And I'd definitely enjoy another chat over a couple of beers, too! Hope you get those 'puter problems fixed fast - stuff like that drives me mad (if it happens to me, that is)!
