Whoah, whole lotta countries in Africa, aren't there? Anyway, at least 70%... 94% in Near East/Middle East, and something similar in Europe (mistplaced Vatican slighty and released Netherlands without wanting to... that's the drawback of that touchpad-mouse). I will keep quiet about USA and have forgotten about Asia and Latin America, but both were not better than 70% or so...

Easy one for me Isla: "I" is as the "ee" in "eel" (only not necessarily that long). "a" is a the final "a" in "paranoia". Eckinger: "E" as in "Ella". "ck" is just "k". "inger": think "[g]inger" but with a "g" as in "go" instead of as in "ginger". And the final "er" is more or less pronounced, but that "e" is not the same as in "Ella", of course, nor is it the same as in "eel"... rather it's like the first "e" in "there", but shorter (which again makes the "er" or "Eckinger" sound different from the "er" in "shorter"). Understood?

Yes, we much prefer tunes like 'So What' or 'A Love Supreme' I'll catch Michael Moore's "Jewels and Binocchulars" tonight... seems to be a great project (all Bob Dylan tunes, played by as/cl-b-d trio, for those who would not have gotten the link to this topic).

True. I've heard Jamal's trio with George Coleman doing it a few years ago. As for Monk: maybe you got to open your horizon a bit? There's that marvellous band from Berlin, "Die Enttäuschung", with lead players Axel Dörner (trumpet) and Rudi Mahall (best thing to happen to the bass clarinet since the death of Eric D.). They do *all* Monk tunes, and they do them from memory, each and every feghing tune, including the complex ones, including a few stoopid ones that I haven't heard before, including the well-known ones (but those often wiht some kind of special twist). They are simply doing a marvellous job. Not sure though if hooking up with Alex Schlippenbach was such a smart idea. He was pale by comparison wiht the other band members, and he was playing much too nice-sounding stuff to fit into Monk's tunes AND the sound of the other musicians. Anyway, Dörner and Mahall are *most* impressive, I tell you! And their arrangements are great, full of ideas and funny twists. On a side-note, Ben Riley is doing another, very different, but also nice, Monk project, with no piano this time, but some guitar player (Freddie Bryant) and arrangements by Don Sickler. One of the sax players there is Wayne Escofferey, who indeed belongs into the other thread about best active tenor players on the scene...

David, I can't help with the Parker, there was only the one copy I saw and got myself. As for Michael Moore: "Jewels and Binocchulars" will play here tomorrow night (with Lindsey Horner & Michael Vatcher, I think) and I'll try to go. I saw Moore with the ICP on Friday and that was one hell of a great (and fun!) show! I'll try to do a little write-up on what I heard at this year's unerhoert (www.unerhoert.ch) later today or tomorrow. I'm quite a fan of Moore's, ever since I first heard him on Clusone 3 recordings.

only 500? you oughta post much more!

using lavender/purple right now... but maybe switching to blue again, soon. vote went to lavender, though.

Also got this, but only caught some small parts of it. Nice to hear an accordionist in such a free context!

Got this in a sale yesterday and gave it a play last night, very impressed!

My feelings, exactly ice cream

Thanks for confirming! I was quite sure, but never really read anywhere that it was the same guy. I have him on tenor somewhere, but I think only as part of a full band.

Turkey?

RVGs? What's that again? Blue Note? Are they still active? Aaaaah, I see now! That's the guys fooling their yurpean customers by selling them some kind of silvery round cactus! As for this batch, the only one I don't have as McMaster or part of a box set (or Conn, in the JOS case) is Turrentine's "Joyride" - how's that one?

Confirmed here: http://www.trombone-usa.com/tromb_e.htm Is he the same guy that also played some tenor sax? The site linked above suggests no, but anyone here knows?

The merging of posts thing is freaking me out. Me too, as I already said! Any chance you can change that, Jim?

Thanks for sharing this, Chris! Fascinating! And yes Barak, be here more often if you can! Oh, and so the late NHOP was old colonialist by heart?

looks like you managed, but somehow you eradicated the wrong part of your post

Yes indeed!

Another possibility to read "Hat Hut" is entirely German and means "[he] has got [a] hat" (since "hat" in German can be read as "has"). Here's the link to our show, in case anyone whom I haven't emailed it yet wants to listen to it (it's in swiss german, as usual): http://195.210.0.134:554/ramgen/lora/archi...o%20LoRa%2097,5 The end of the show is clipped, alas - it misses th last seconds of the great Clusone 3 tune (from "Rara Avis") and me calling things off (my friend does the opening talk, I did the missing closing talk).

Should really be going back to see 'Otto e Mezzo'. I did not remember Claudia looking so etheral in the film! She still looks very good these days. Well yes, etheral (ethereal?) is not what I would call her usually... and YES! you should run to see Otto e Mezzo again! I catch it whenever it's being shown in a theatre here! Have seen it at least 4 or 5 times in recent years! The final scene (with that *great* Nino Rota march) alone is worth seeing it again and again! And Anouk Aimée, too! And Saraghina... I'm partial... I love this film so much!

damn man, reading that makes my head hurt. It looks like you need a bit more time to re-read what you wrote before you post anyhow, so the anti-7/4 posting mode should pose no problem for you. So quoting the same post several times still ends up in one post, also... Yes, that's very confusing (the board behaviour, not your post ) Thanks for understanding! I find that confusing, really! Otherwise, as I said, it's cool not to have those glitches anymore, AND Jim: I really like the new colours, too! With the purple stuff around and the orgo-logo on top, the site still looks a bit warmer than the other bluish boards. Now how fast can you post? Four in one? I did four in two before, but if Claude hadn't posted in between...

damn man, reading that makes my head hurt. It looks like you need a bit more time to re-read what you wrote before you post anyhow, so the anti-7/4 posting mode should pose no problem for you. What are you talking about, man? damn man, reading that makes my head hurt. It looks like you need a bit more time to re-read what you wrote before you post anyhow, so the anti-7/4 posting mode should pose no problem for you. you know, I re-read *before* I hit the "post"-button, usually!

Better late than never: happy birthday!

That's called the anti-7/4 posting mode. but wouldn't it be really funny if your post gets added to whomever's post that was posted within the last minute or so?
