I thought I'd add some colour

Roscoe on the other hand...

There are also his early albums on Delmark ("Song For" I have, it's ok, there's another one, I think). I never felt like checking him out really... just didn't convince me, really. The one other non-AEC disc of his I have is a duo with Marilyn Crispell (on Music&Arts), which again is ok but not much more. It's been a while though since I played this or "Song For", maybe it's time for a re-evaluation?

I got "Cliff Craft" and "Further Explorations" as part of the same Mosaic/Trueblue order - loved both albums from day one! They go very well together! I guess it's mentioned in the other thread, but Clifford Jordan is great on the first (of just recently two) volumes of "Erich Kleinschuster Sextet" sets (two 2CD sets, Jordan is on Vol. 1 only, very good Austrian band w/guests Clifford Jordan, Carmell Jones & Joe Henderson on Vol. 1, Slide Hampton and Jimmy Heath on Vol. 2 - I think dusty had the sets, otherwise search around the board to find out how to order them from a great shop in Vienna, where I was lucky to find Vol. 2 a couple of days after its street date, when I was in Vienna in July).

Playing "Border Crossing" now, first listen - sounds great, halfway into! I know how different the Miller/Moholo team can sound, depending on the context (I've heard the Brötz/Miller/Moholo on FMP and lots of live BoB, as well as the wonderfull Harry Miller box). What I like so much about them is their drive, how they swing, no matter what they're actually playing or what's going on around - they're just great, always! Just in case, you're allowed to freely mention the names of any boards here - no ego-police thing going on here by the moderators!

The Ben, I assume - to my knowledge, the Hawk has never come out other than as "old" CD!

another little raccoon story over here

but not with new IE (Version 7) at other work... problem is with old IE, then...

he he...

glorious, glamorous, and that old standby amorous...

couple of good ones: John Bickerton - Shadow Boxes Collective 4tet - any or all if you like this kind of free jazz Mat Maneri - Fever Bed Pandelis Karayorgis - Heart and Sack Soegaard Ensemble - Cronos Didier Petit - NOHC on the Road Hannes Wiener / Peter Niklas Wilson - Alphea (this one's a stunningly beautfiul disc!) also probably these: James Fei - Solo Works Joachim Gies - both Uwe Obert - Lo but it's been a while that I played them... the Not Missing Drums project is great, too, but not jazz by far not jazz... Gies is involved there, too, leading it with Thomas Boehm-Christl. I don't have "Offline Adventures", "Urban Voices" is more vocals-based (but vocals - classically trained female singers - form a part of the project anyway). Similar with The Remote Viewers. A weird pop/song/sax group that I kind of like... can't keep the discs apart, really, though... and some may really hate this stuff! all or most of these have mostly been mentioned in the "funny rat"-thread

"Age,Phone /Fax /Sex e.t.c."

Yes, and what's fact and what fiction about the Schindler story isn't so clear, either...

he he...

me earlier today, and how I'll look on my public transportation card during my trip to Paris, October 1-7:

was Oliver Lake an interesting player in 1979? (I think he's extremely boring nowadays... saw Trio 3 on occassion of their new CD and it was so lame... only Workman was any good...)

"Schindler's List" is wrong in so many ways. Rather wait till they're grown up and show them Lanzman's "Shoah". And get rid of the expression "holocaust" which is wrong, too.

I have it with IE at work, but not with Opera at home!

infectious is the right word - indeed it is!

I think that's part of the point though. There are new generations that didn't experience what you did, or saw what you've seen. It's not readily available for most of the world's population. If this helps younger people to begin to understand the atrocities that the Nazis perpetrated on fellow humans, it's beneficial, IMO. Agreed, I guess my point is that this "new" material is not as shocking as much of what preceded it. If the purpose of the post was to remind the old and educate the young, more effective documentation has been available for over 6 decades. Let's face it, many of these newly discovered photos are pretty uneffective when taken out of context--an up-turned blueberry bowl is not even remotely as horrifying as piles of shoes, life-starved faces, or a glimpse of Ilse's lamp shades. It's all disturbing beyond measure and, Ubu, you shouldn't take anything I say here personally. Thanks for starting this thread, which no one really regards as useless. It's just that this been there done that attitude that's spreading all over the board can be a bit of a nuisance, hence my reaction - I'm young, I've not been there and said everything, and indeed I found the article and the site interesting and it did move me. Anyway, this thread is of course not useless, there's been some interesting points made and I enjoyed reading people's comments, mostly. As I said, just that attitude does annoy me, here and elsewhere, too...

Went with Roy Eldridge, not Woody Herman... into disc 2 by now

my disc 7 is ok! no wrong sequencing there!

oooh, sorry, didn't mean to discriminate the elite!

welcome aboard, sir! we've had this long tradition of posting what we're listening right now, over here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=3849 also for Mosaic and for other box sets: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=10369 http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=31838

Finally came around playing the Harry James parts, and guess what: I like it! Not just the few solos by the great Willie Smith, but most of James' own soloing is a joy to hear, the arrangements are nice (some good Ernie Wilkins, some almost new testament Basie stuff), some kitschy stuff with mandolins and whistling (ok, just two tunes really), some nice tenor by rather little known guys, a couple of good spots by the likes of Juan Tizol and Buddy Rich, some sugary sweet Helen Forrest (from one of the Hi-Fi albums) - nothing of it heavy-weight, but all of it rather pleasant. And see, I got my set almost 3 years ago... no wonder no one noticed the wrong tracklisting or track sequence of disc 7 in time...
