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)!

There's a third Freeman to add to the two before mentioned ones: I also quite regret these costing so much... I usually only buy them when I find them on sale, but I guess I've got 25 or 30 of them by now. Favourites are the Johnny Dyanis, the Walt Dickersons, also all the Ken McIntyre's I've heard have things going on that are of interest. Then there's the wonderful Pierre Dorge... his New Jungle Orchestra discs are among my favourite yurpeen jazz albums.

There's been a bit of discussion of this Masekela reissue in the Universal reissues thread - I agree, it's a wonderful disc! Can't compare it to those Spear albums, as I don't own those, but indeed, Ntshoko is wonderful here - his long solo somewhere in the middle of the disc is a treat as well! And Willis/Gomez fit in nicely with this kind of groove! Also indeed Pukwana is the wildest, edgiest element of this band, reaching beyond the "limits" of the grooves and of the all-together pretty polished sound. Highly recommended!

A serious and near-catastrophic issue ! :rsly: There have been a few times that these things have swung open, jettisoning out the disk and forcing me to perform Olympic-standard pseudo back-flip manouevers to catch said disk before it hit the woodwork ! hey, next time you perform such extraordinary deeds, please swith on your homecam and put the results up on youtube!

I heard part of that concert with Hamid Drake on the air - great indeed! Had to buy that CD eventually - it's available from CD Baby: http://cdbaby.com/cd/angelidrake Angeli btw plays a guitar he built/modified himself, with more strings than usual or something crazy - he gets quite wonderful sounds with that instrument!

um, I wasn't entirely serious... threads like these get so... nerdy...

That doesn't do anything with the double cases. The worst thing about the double case they use is that if you get one CD off of one side, the disc on the other side is even harder to remove since they share the retention hooks. indeed! and something else I am (in the slightest way of slightly) worried about is those new double jewel cases where the tray doesn't have any kind of hinge, but rather just sort of a perforation that allows it being opened/flipped open - these will eventually just fall apart, I assume... question is, will they last as long as I live? (I am not quite yet 30, but it's only a few months...)

Hm, maybe I haven't just heard enough music yet... couldn't say I know many other albums who did better takes on what Barney did on "Moshi" - it's quite a singular album in my opinion...

PM sent on: Lou Donaldson, Quartet/Quintet/Sextet) (BN) $7 Lou Donaldson, Fried Buzzard (Chessmates) $7 Shelley Manne, Perk Up (Concord) $7 Wes Montgomery, Far Wes (Pacific Jazz) $6 Neil Swainson, 49th Parallel (Concord) $7 (Joe Henderson and Woody Shaw in band) Stanley Turrentine, Let It Go (Impulse) $7 Ben Webster, Gone with the Wind (Black Lion) $7 Ben Webster, There is no Greater Love (Black Lion) $7 Ben Webster, See You At The Fair (Impulse) $7 Grant Green, Iron City (32 Jazz) $7

mine got here very fast - likely it came by air mail anyway... got it about ten days or even two weeks ago already (ordered just a few days before the July sale ended), and the sucker made it even without taxes, for a change! good one, so far, but I'm only halfway into disc 3 after three listening/reading sessions.

yeah, I don't doubt your being serious - but you could let us know why you're of that opinion... also the word "legit" strikes me as weird (not sure I understand it in this context at all... I guess it was up to Barney to decide if his albums were legit statements of what he wanted to tell)
