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.

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!

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?

She purdy. ok then, let's talk about purdiness... like, Mr. Bernard Purdie, for instance! And who the eff is dumbledumb? And why is he happy or not? And who cares? And why do such threads get started if thread-starters would prefer to talk about jazz?

I'll have to dig up the Hague show... great band, that was! Not sure I can help you there, though...

someone should be able to pin down that Waldron tune! (I assume it's the fifth, the only one that hadn't been identified back when we got it?)

56 € at amazon.de via big-o (release date: Nov. 5, 07) and I forgot to say: this looks splendid to me, I don't have lots of Webster - some/most of the Verve material, the Proper box compiling some of the early stuff, the RCA sides with Ellington, of course, but nothing much beyond 1960, except for the splendid Holland Sessions 2CD set on Blue Note and one of the Black Lion LPs with Kenny Drew, which I *love*! So I guess this shall be a great addition!

It seems to be out, "usually ships in 1-2 days" says CDU, link via big-o, 60 bucks!

Wow, Ornette!? I don't have that disc, though... is it any good, anyone has it?

Thanks in advance! Klazz Brothers? No, I guess not... neither am I! By the way, the great John Lewis solo album "Private Concert" (reissued in Universal France's Heritage of Anniversary series two or three years ago) contains two adaptions of Bach compositions. And I still think there should be many such instances, where someone rather than doing a whole album of Bach, did adapt one composition in between originals and standards etc. But I haven't even been able yet to go through all of my own discs, looking for such "hidden" tracks... still, if anyone has any additional input, I assume it would be welcome!

Happy Birthday Matthew!

I've always been partial to the late Erwin Chargaff... Watson/Crick were two eager weirdos from the git-go, it seems...

never mind... for a million $$ even a house in Luxembourg or at the lake of Zurich could include a music room... nothing more we need, really

I got my set yesterday, looks like another beautiful box! Most of the music will be new to me, too. I've heard some of it once, years ago, on some borrowed LPs, and had the Lighthouse CD, but haven't even played it all through so far - looking forward to exploring this box!
