I guess her being the father of Ravi will help lending is acting crediblitise smo e?

Here's one, but I have no idea if this is the original cover:

*do* go! I saw them in November, and it was one hell of a great concert! Beautiful music, from beginning to end... from Ellington to "conducted" pieces (meaning the violin lady, the 'bonist, or - most funny to watch - the elderly cello-maniac jumping around in the middle of a stage like doing some kind of tarantella and giving handsigns to all the other musicians...) What a great bunch of musicians! And Mengelberg, although looking pretty old and tired, still is able to create whole soundscapes with just a couple of strokes. Among the horns, all were fine, wtih Delius (definitely a madman...) and Moore (what a great clarinet player he is! I too often just think of him as an alto player) providing highlights and Baars being the least compelling musician. Bennink is of course just great, so is Honsinger (the cello maniac). And the sound they get is simply stunning. All of jazz' history is in it, plus a lot more (free improv, european influences, marching music...), yet in the end they create something out of it that is standing on/for its own, completely, out of these most disparate sources they're using.

WHOAH, Frank Wright in the car??? I guess I'd never be with my girlfriend (or soon 5 years) if I had tested her like that...

Late as so often, but still: Happy birthday!

Sure, that may be true, but then listen to Miles at the Fillmore to hear some terrific trumpet playing that goes far beyond being a "stylist", I'd say. But then, I always thought of Miles being a synthi player, mainly... check "Decoy" for evidence...

Looks like all of Vince's efforts are for naught!!! I couldn't find any sticker in my French Cellar Door box - but I guess that was the freedom fries effect in play, there

aerobics a "more important cultural result"??? a mind-boggling thought of universal importance, I confess...

Chuck, I like your definition. But how about adding the time factor? "organized sounds in time"?

Have you heard his solo FMP disc, "Portrait", David? I think that one's excellent!

That sums it up quite nicely. But let me just repeat one thing: Moreau is so absolutely gorgeous in that film!

3sat, Saturday February 11, 2006, 02:55-04:00 (actually Sunday a.m. but the website lists the after midnight programme still in the previous day's entry): Tomasz Stanko Quartet Jazz Baltica 2005 Mit Tomasz Stanko (Trompete), Marcin Wasilewski (Klavier), Slawomir Kurkiewicz (Bass) und Michal Miskiewicz (Schlagzeug) Erstausstrahlung Der polnische Trompeter Tomasz Stanko kann mit Fug und Recht als eine Leitfigur des europäischen Jazz bezeichnet werden, als einer, der dem amerikanischen Einfluss früh eigenständige Idiome entgegenzusetzen vermochte. Im Quintett seines Mentors Krzysztof Komeda fand Stanko bereits in den 1960er Jahren zu einer lyrischen Sprache, in der sich die Schwermut der Volksmusik seiner Heimat mit freien, von Coleman, Ayler und Mingus beeinflussten Strukturen kreuzte. Gefühl für das Wesentliche Mehr als 40 Jahre nach seiner ersten Band "Jazz Darings" zeichnet Stankos Spiel heute ein untrügliches Gefühl für das Wesentliche aus. Den dunklen, poetischen und intensiven Trompetenton intoniert der 63-Jährige so traumwandlerisch sicher, dass er ihn spielend zwischen melancholisch-kontemplativen und dramatisch-expressiven Stimmungen changieren lassen kann. Während Stanko in den 1990er Jahren mit diversen Aufnahmen sein internationales Renommee weiter ausbaute, formierte er 1994 ein Quartett mit jungen Talenten aus Polen. Acht Jahre lang reifte dieses Trio um den Pianisten Marcin Wasilewski an seiner Seite, bis sie zusammen mit der CD "Soul of Things" ein erstes Ausrufezeichen setzten. Jazz Baltica 2005 Beim JazzBaltica Festival 2005 spielte die Formation unter anderem Stücke ihres aktuellen Albums "Suspended Night". Diese Einspielung wurde in Polen mit Gold ausgezeichnet und ließ den "Guardian" sogar Vergleiche zu Miles Davis' legendärem "Kind of Blue"-Album ziehen. ***** I'll try and get it recorded for me... saw another Stanko tv broadcast (from Polish tv, I think) that was fantastic, so this comes recommended, for anybody within reach of 3sat.

I thought you'd chime in Hans! ***** Quick follow up on my Ayler order: here's what I pay for: - 004 Brötz - 017/018 Gahnold - 032 Wallin - 048/049 Feza seems I'll get two free items... and seems they will not be titles that I have already (033 Ayler, 036-040 Lyons, 050/151 Dynamic Duo). Great service from Jan Ström, I must add! I didn't get any mail initially because my online-order never arrived.

Happy birthday!

Too young an age to go... and it seems his playing on thelate 2005 Soft Machine tour was terrific!

Norm Coleman is a Republican. I suspect most of the staffers on both sides of the aisle know about Wikipedia. While on the one hand, it is hard to imagine senior members of Congress knowing about blogs or Wikipedia, the one thing these guys care about is their public image. Many of them hire staff to track how they are represented in the media, and I imagine that has been extended to the Web. And funny enough the recent article I read (in the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung") had plenty of examples of Republicans manipulating Democrats' entries, too... I guess USA Today just sees what's convenient with its own position?

I own this one:

Is this new news in the US? Was in the newspapers last week, or even the week before, over here. Now let's start working on Allen's biography, everybody!

Sad news! I'll play the Pacific and Atlantic albums, too. Very nice music! (on a side-note: Hi Garth! Nice to see you again here, but don't just show up with sad news, willya!)

Tapas are fast food, too, don't forget that! I have eaten maybe 10 times at a Mc in my life so far and don't intend to go there more often than that in years to come...

Yes, and you still miss the lenghty obit worth reading (by David Toop, if memory serves me right)

Happy birthday!

nepotism? It's been 6 hours and no reply. I guess I'll write an email to ask, then! And maybe I add that disc with Dyani to my order...

I didn't hear back yet - how long did it take them to write you?
