Searching around the jazzecho.de site I found these two new MPS/Universal box-sets - I've got no further infos, but at lest the Shearing looks somewhat interesting (but then I ought to get the Van Damme and Cicero first... the only of these I have is the Doldinger, which is very good!)

a quick search didn't help... what's on that twofer? "Kirk's Work" and "Jaki Byard Experience"? Or is there anything else by Rahsaan that's part of the Fantasy holdings?

sad news

Just speaking for myself, of course, but to me, while I've had some Henderson albums (Blue Note and later stuff, 80s and 90s, MPS, Verve, State of the Tenor etc.), I never owned any of the Milestone albums. I knew two of the early ones and recently got the Lighthouse Fantasy CD, but had nothing else, so yes, it's indeed new. This was always a very expensive set and to many (not to you, though, I assume!) the late 60s and 70s aren't their favourite era of jazz, so I guess a lot did similar to me and only now went for this box when it was available for such a good prize... Anyway, I started listening to the first two albums, I think the first is good (the Penguin guys say the tunes are too short... not a problem to me) and the second (the quartet dates with Kenny Barron and - rather unexpectedly - Don Friedman - are mighty fine! Looking forward to get into this set slowly.

Proper used to have discos up on their website... seems not any longer. I assume the box covers mostly what was on the mosaic, but I know that it goes beyond that, including some of the first Verve dates of Jacquet's from 1951 (with wrong personnel info given, if I remember correctly). The Mosaic is a magnificient collection, and I guess for all those who were too late, the Proper would be a good way to catch up with some of music that was included. But what about the Verve sessions? Is there anything out, besides "The Kid and the Brute"? (long OOP by now, I guess.) I'll have to check what there is, from those years, but I'm just wondering about CD reissues for the moment! The second 10 inch album on "The Kid...", by the way, continues where the Mosaic ended, with the RCA sessions on disc four - very similar in style, Illinois' "little big band" - pretty good stuff! And wasn't James Moody's band in the 50s a similar but more boppish thing, three or four horns (usually Moody w/tp/tb/bari) and rhythm, doing these arrangements that sound like small big bands, and playing rather accessible music, touring etc.?

:party: all the best to both of you!

It was great meeting you too! Took much too long! If it's a glass of wine o you, it's going to be from a Chateau Cantemerle 1998 Selected that one to celebrate our son's presence today. He is going to pursue (and hopefully end soon) his studies very near that Chateau outside Bordeaux! Only drawback to the day is that I won't be able to honor an invitation from Andrew Cyrille to attend his concert tonight at the Sunset club with Oliver Lake and Reggie Workman You could still always come to Zurich and catch them in a couple of weeks... Workman will also do a solo concert, Cyrille a duo with a Swiss drummer (Lucas Niggli, pupil and now collaborator of Pierre Favre and leader of his own band Zoom which is pretty good), and Lake will do a trio concert with a Zurich rhythm section... this will all be on several days with other concerts in between - definitely too much (and much too costly) for me to catch all of it, alas.

Happy Birthday, Guy! I hope you have a great day, and have a glass of wine on me! It was a pleasure meeting you in October, and I am very grateful still for the great time I could spend in Paris! :party:

some vinyl again today... earlier today: Woody Shaw - Stepping Stones (Columbia) just finished: Chico Hamiltn - Passin' Through (mono, some Euro HMW/EMI edition - great one!) next: Philip Wilson - Live at Moers Festival (Moers Music)

Congratulations, Daniel! Have one on me! :party:

on second thought, ordering from a marketplace seller for 55€ plus 6€ international shipping (assuming US is the same as Europe, I don't know about that) might make it a rather attractive option again...

Oh, and shipping is free for Swiss orders that are 20 or more € - that's great! (And I tend to think somehow fair, as there's no Swiss Amazon... Marketplace orders cost 6€ shipping, even if it's just for one CD, now that's rather crazy, on the other hand, but Amazon.de themselves are pretty attractive for Swiss customers... you have to try and order for 20-30€, so there are no shipping costs and no custom/taxes, either... that's not possible for the Miles box, but that I have to live with... let's just hope them douaniers are sleepy when that particular package passes by!)

Where did you find that price, Flurin? I checked, and Amazon Germany shows €59,95 for me, plus shipping costs of €14,00. That works out to $105.85 for me. My Amazon UK order totalled £45.62, which equals $93.55. So it's still cheaper. That's because for me it's minus German VAT... not sure how they handle that with US orders... JPC or zweitausendeins.de don't deduct VAT, but Amazon always does for me!

Just cancelled the Amazon UK pre-order (44.5 £) in favour or Amazon Germany (50 €, roughly 10 € less than with UK amazon)! Still hoping to get this one soon!

Happy Birthday! :party:

Snetberger may be familiar from his work with Markus Stockhausen (Karlheinz' son, a fine trumpet player - I once saw him in concert with Dhafer Youssef). It's really special to have that much purer guitar sound (I assume it's some kind of acoustic-electric guitar he plays, a plugged in acoustic guitar, or otherwise he's very closely miked, it's nothing like "spanish" or "classical" guitar, but nothing like your usual electric guitar, either). There's a follow-up album called "Samba Tzigane", Dusko's latest. I haven't heard it, but I shall try and get an earful at a store some day: DUSKO GOYKOVICH SAMBA TZIGANE ORDER NO. ENJ-9489 2 Dusko Goykovich trumpet, flugelhorn Ferenc Snétberger guitar Márcio Tubino flutes Céline Rudolph vocal Martin Gjakonovski bass Jarrod Cagwin drums, percussion 1. Samba Tzigane 06:54 | 2.

giving this one a spin again: you'll love this, BM - get yourself a copy! it's a collection of latin tracks, dusko often muted, his mellow sound and lyrical delivery perfectly backed by Ferenc Snetberger on acoustic guitar (a Hungarian born into a Sinti/Roma family), Martin Gjakonovski (from Macedonia, I know him from Antonio Farao's trio, mainly) on double bass, and Jarrod Cagwin (member of Rabih Abou-Khalil's badn for quite some years now) on drums. The quartet plays compositions by Jobim, Mihanovich, one by Heitor Villa-Lobos, and some Dusko originals.

Thanks for the additional links and mentionings - will let my friend know about it again!

adult contemporary

I picked Grindelwald as a place I'd love to live - it's breathtaking! I missed that thread before - funny coincidence... I've only been there once as a kid, but my parents got a hut in a pretty remote area, so when small, I was in the mountains each summer for 2-3 weeks, of course loving it... nowadays, I prefer big cities for vacation... I'm weird, I know. Anyway, you'd have to do away with all the stoopid tourists if you wanted to live in Grindelwald, I'm sure it's horrible in that respect!

but if I look again, also only at the feet, it's clearly right brain again... so I can "get it", can I "get her", too?

very clearly right brain... but then I glimpsed and she went the other way 'round...

For goodness' sake. Children live in the real world. They know full well that unmarried people have sex, including, for a great number of them, their parents, their grandparents, their siblings, their uncles and aunts and cousins. So literature should pretend that this is not so? There's a word for an approach like that, GA: dishonesty. You would have children be introduced to literature through literature that denies reality--a fine way to lead them to distrust and disregard literature from the very start. for goodness' sake, why don't you want children to learn how to turn into hypocrites from the git-go? They live in the real Forld, after all!

Grindelwald is a village in Switzerland, that I know...but what the hell is a Dumbledore?
