Happy Birthday!

So the man who's not Albert M is in fact the Salzsäulen-Bauer, then? And the Schönfeld chap plays the whacky flute? Will have to play that great compilation again tonight or tomorrow!

yeah, I know... will have to dig that one up again, only played it several times when I got it new but never since

and the Katzenbeier, of course, but #2, #3 and #7... guess I should buy less and listen more for quite a while!

...and the GDR Sunday Afternoon BBQ music! that's the tin band, right?

no, of course I haven't recognized all the others (xept the Milian, Ptaszyn, Jazz Carriers and Ianci none, in fact)... my collection is too vast, you know...

Shit, I can't pin down neither #3 nor #7 John! Just played them again... Is Hans Koller present on this BFT? (Don't aswer the question if it would make things too easy!)

Thanks for your help! I knew it should work with google somehow but I've long forgotten how!

reissues of reissues it seems, except for the ones that are part of the US LPR series - nothing new in there, otherwise, just re-pressings of older discs, and possibly (it's the case with the Shirley Horn album I have in this recent version) with crappy-quality flimsy paper booklets with bad printing quality...

I'm at work... and I am lazy - and it sucks that 4-letter-words cannot be searched any longer (feel free to find me a thread on Joe Guy, for instance...)

I agree with Mike - with the search-function as bad as it is and the forum growing bigger and bigger, it wouldn't be a bad thing, in my opinion. So I'd be all for a blues forum, too (again I wouldn't participate a lot, but I'd be happy to read the threads all in the same place! And that recommendation list of yours, Hans, that would have to be a sticky topic! )

two cigars! I don't know how I came to think of this as Hipnosis - they've got as/tb in the frontline...

So the imported GDR soprano comes from Holland, then, and is bearer of a kaiserliche first name? And the real thing is that them Jazz Carriers, then? They're great, I got to play that album again soon, another one that hasn't been played for more than a year!

Thanks for your reply John - I will play the disc again as soon as I can! Will try and pin down some more things, but it won't be easy. By the way, I don't that Ptaszyn track (#1) on anything but your compilation - the disc i have is the Quartet one (on Power Bros).

I voted yes - not that I'd add a lot, but it would be easier to read the respective threads more regularly if they'd be in the same place instead of spread all over!

another interesting one - the site also lists the LPRs (I haven't checked if it just lists the still available ones or all of them), but this is the first listing I found of the ones that turned out to be packed in jewel cases and named "[Decca/Verve/Argo/whatever] Originals" over here: http://www.jazzecho.de/originals_103604.jsp (there are more, you have to click on "Die nächsten 10 anzeigen" to proceed and "Die vorherigen 10 anzeigen" to get back to the previous 10) This series includes many titles that were never part of the LPR series in the US, including more recent titles (Henderson's "Lush Life", Diana Kralls Nat Cole hommage, Shirley Horn's "Here's to Life", Hancock's "New Standard), as well as VME and VBR titles.

I found this site pretty useful to see what has come out anew from the vast Fantasy catalogue - it's not much, but it's not nothing, either... http://www.jazzecho.de/searchresult_detail...ord&type=cd I thought it might be of interest to others as well, thus I post the link.

bumping this up coz I want to read it later and wouldn't know how to find it again with the sucky search function!

I don't know if this is the correct thread, I was looking for a general JATP thread or one dedicated to the '44-'49 box. Anyway, I recently started making my way through the set again, and much of is beautiful. And the interview Hentoff did with Granz for the fat booklet is pretty interesting from a socio-historical point of view, as well. (But I'd have liked some kind of session-by-session or even track-by-track comment as well, but I guess that's just me...) Anyway, good news is that this set is about to come out in a cheaper version (not a coffee-table one - will likely not have much of the contents of the big boxes book). Amazon.de link via org (release date: June 29, 2007): http://www.amazon.de/Complete-Jazz-Philhar...6918&sr=8-1 The prize is only 39 euro! This is an effin great prize for a lot of wonderful music! (I got an old exhibition piece of the original release with a broken booklet for roughly 60 euro...) I can't find any more specific information so far.

arright then, I ought to finally play the Ptaszyn (although I have an older version, I'm afraid, on Power Bros.), and I definitely ought to play the Schönfeld/Katzenbeier again - I have bought it on vinyl after having had it on couw's CDR for a while, one more reason to move the record player to my place, finally! So congas are bongos, too stoopid mistake, but that happens when doing the typing (and listening) while at work... I assume that's the Clarke/Boland crew on #12 then and Boland/Woode/Klook on #14? Boland is a much better pianist than his band duties make him seem, I think - that MPS album of his, "Out of the Background," is pretty cool (I only found it in blogosphere, though...) can I get some non-smoking cigars for Ianci as well? And what for Wanja and his hipsters?

so then, here's my little write-up, I'm pretty sure I'm going to make a fool of myself - as usual, I did the listening away from my CDs and just took a couple of notes while listening to each track: #1 - Great one! I assume that Jerzy chap on doorbells? The guitar gives this sort of a Getz-Jazz-Samba mood, the tenor sax fits in perfectly well. Groovy bit of fun, great opener, and I assume this one sets the mood?! #2 - Flute'n'bass, very nice. Drums are nice, too - at some moments it almost sounds like there are two drummers present, but I assume that's because of the stereo-spread? Bass has a folksy style, copped from Charlie Haden (but without Haden's signature sound)? This one's new for me and I'd certainly enjoy more of it! #3 - More flute, this time with some ethnical drums... is this some cheap tin flute or a regular one? Weird one... enters vocalized trombone - Albert M.? Piano as well... hm, tough one to pin down but I like it more and more as it progresses... piano sounds like Dollar Brand (those last couple of chords towards the end) #4 - A variant of "Take Five" - is this Desmond's "Take Ten"? Long time since I played such stuff so I can't tell. Pretty nice alto, good brassy trumpet. Some eastern european guys? Good scoring as well, with the baritone sax laying the foundation and pretty nice drumming. #5 - A nice hardbop performance of the softer kind (KD's Jazz Prophets come to mind, their Argo album mainly), certainly some Euro dudes again. I enjoy trumpet played in that low register a lot - nicely built solo as well. More flute and nice tenor, but I love the trumpet! Sounds like the pianist led this date to me, but don't ask me why... very nice piano solo to top things off - my favourite so far for content (#1 being the favourite for style...) #6 - A bit of a rough cut here (first one, others were good enough for me to really notice them much), on to more Milian twist stuff, pretty nice with that bass ostinato. Another one in five (last one was in three - pretty cool to hear such easy-going and natural sounding stuff in these signatures). Hah, there it gets weird again... not Milian then, I suppose. #7 - More of that purrty hardbop stuffe, again a bunch of Euro dudes that no one will be able to pin down? Sounds just as good, for sure! Tenor is great, trumpet in a lyrical style with a bunch of nice ideas - a bit like Donald Byrd around '56/'57? Using guitar instead of piano makes the whole band sound much lighter, to which the drummer adds a lot, too. Bass solo is pretty nice. May there be an expat or two in the rhythm section? All of this sounds somehow familiar... #8 - Very nice moody piece, great tenor solo! Another favourite! Trumpet is great during the ensembles! #9 - Ha! Kind of a madman here, huh? ... the spectacled weirdo some bad websites mix up with Jimmy Yancey, it seems, but it's been over a year that I played any of his music... love this one! The mix of Tristano with Peterson (or Wilson via Peterson?) is terrific - there's that rather cold-ish scholarly stuff in there, yet it grooves, breathes and blasts out with plenty of fun! If it's really Yancsi, it once more makes me wonder how softly that swiss power drummer can play if he chooses to. #10 - Yay! More fun stuff that sounds very familiar... from beyond your eastern border, Sir? Again there's that Brubeck thing in here with the three against two that gives this sort of a forward-moving stuttering feel. More great drumming here! And I enjoy it when the bass goes on playing during a drum-solo (Roach did that often). Lovely melody! #11 - "Birth of the Cool" this time... great scoring with that tuba/baritone sax lead-off! It's good to hear such short and concise solos - too often long ones don't add up to much more... who's the tuba chap? Tenor is nice as well! #12 - Slick programming here! The baritone sax picks up where that last one ended, the congas add a nice touch here. #13 - And one more that segues easily into the next one - Mulliganesque big band arrangement? Very nice opening dialogue, and then them vibes again... nice trumpet solo, again not one of those high and hardblowing ones, I like this lyrical trumpet playing staying in mid-range a lot. #14 - Extremely catchy and upbeat - nice one! #15 - ... but now time for some weirdness again! Typical GDR sunday afternoon barbecue music, I guess? Very nice one! Great soprano solo emerging out of the collective (great range, from tuba to piccolo!) #16 - That weird sound far right is a blatant rip-off of couw's favourite fingernails-on-chalkboard chap... won't say no more about this one, I almost expected a cut from this group to end up on a bovine BFT and here 'tis! #17 - Another great one! No clue who this could be, but he's got a great sound on clarinet, very much in command, very cultivated. Piano is a bit too easy-going, sounds rather like on autopilot... bass is great, reminds me a bit of Richard Davis in spots (those runs going high up, interfering with the melody, also the flexible-sounding pace). Piano gets a bit flowery after those runs, then into free-ish territory... I start liking it more and more as the solo goes on. Drummer starts playing some more, too - good! But the main thing here is the clarinet! Monkish theme. #18 - Modal territory... a Hancock/Tyner/Shorter mid 60s Blue Note mood - but the frontline of tenor sax & trombone already is a departure from your usual fare... the tune sounds familiar, is this a retro bit by a recent band? Sound tells me it's rather not... anyway, very nice trombone solo! Nice little tenor bit... and great performance by the drummer! Another good one! And as if to close things down, there's a bit of flute again in the end... #19 - More stoopid pianistics... the Romanian again? A cute little closer! Definitely a great compilation, John - lots of fun stuff in there! Thanks a lot!

It's taking shape at the moment... will be one full disc plus a second with related bonus material. (I'll do it by upload, too). Right now I'm finally giving John's a first spin and typing up some bits to post...
