  1. So if I post again in a thread I just posted my second (possibly unrelated, like: quoting another post from that thread than what I quoted in my first post) just gets attached to the previous post??? Sucks! How long would I have to wait to prevent that from happening? One minute?
  2. wh...????? words fail! brownie does not instantly recognize la Cardinale? World gone wrong??? "8 1/2" is one of ubu's most loved films, so it's pretty easy for me to agree with Lon, to get back on topic! sure you must've liked *that*?
  3. Same here now... or nobody wants to talk with me? (May that be because I'm only talking to myself anyway?)
  4. Want one of those again? I was thinking of using Vince W., my great hero - that pic I posted elsewhere today! What a great drummer! Ask couw: a drummer fired by slime cannot be *that* bad, can he?
  5. One glitch was that the title on top of the open thread/topic would always move left and right (similar to what happens if you use AMG with Opera, but of course only moving horizontally, while with AMG there are those dropdowns, too). Another was that one could not just mark a word and hit the "bold"-button - those bold-indicators (and all other indicators) would just be put to the end of the post, no matter where you had the cursor when you hit any (same for smilies). This seems all be gone now, so that's cool! (I got used the them glitches, of course... maybe I'll miss them )
  6. He was great on that first Marty-Paich-arranged Tormé Bethlehem album, the one with the cars on the cover and that hilarious Lulu tune opening the proceedings!
  7. Very sad news
  8. I'm sure couw and a few others noticed as well: with this new version some glitches that were happening in Opera are not there anymore - cool! We can now also insert bold text and smilies and whatever as easy as in MSIE!
  9. Claude, I have to confess that with your current avatar I have trouble reading what you're posting...
  10. Taylor did other short stuff... for instance on his MPS/Pausa album "Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly!" from 1980. Also tday he doesn't always play long pieces... or he follows one long piece by several short ones that you may or may not consider "encores" (see the fabulous "Willisau Concert" released on Intakt Records).
  11. Plainly an attempt to get into Jazzbo's "loveliest avatar" thread! Liking the new look. I might just put some posts up just to try stuff out Security reasons? What, you mean we're being hacked? Well, I've figured this new stuff out just fine... don't you like this guy? see, so it goes?
  12. Oh, back in the old times there were some who cared about forward:
  13. Just started playing this - need to i-d #1 right ahead: these are them Vienna Art guys led by that swiss man in Vienna... prob. the great unsung Matthieu Michel on trumpet (or flugel?). Can't pin a name to that track, but it coulde be that "Back to the Blue Notes" tune? Or something from the "art&fun.25" programme... he's certainly providing a lot of highlights these days (I think the VAO has gone a bit drab over the course of the years, sorry to say... but Michel, Gansch, Mears, Sokal, Scherrer, and a few others still provide great solos, with Breinschmid and Gonzi being a very very nice rhythm section... it's more the arrangements of Rüegg's that got a bit boring in my humble opinion... need to play the hatO "Minimalism or Satie" again soon - now that was what VAO/Rüegg were about!)
  14. Have you checked the manual, Flurin? I sent you the Fantasy catalog download link. Thanks, in already! I don't think Universal owns Concord http://new.umusic.com/history.aspx Thanks for that - makes more sense... but then I guess Universal/Vivendi can own whatever they want in a blink...
  15. Claude, can I get that link for the Fantasy catalogue as well, please? Will send you an email about it! Here's the info-page on Ben Webster's "Soulmates" (source: http://www.concordmusicgroup.com/artists/album/?id=1394) Ain't that cool, huh? Is it correct that Concord belongs to Universal/Vivendi now? Guy at a shop told me so last week, and the website's sucking design and unlogical organisation is pretty similar, too...
  16. Oiiii! Quite a trip! I'm just now digging into the weird strings track #5... after some early to mid-fifties bop/hardbop and some guitaristics... quite a trip! Uh, here comes the barisax - great stuff! Is this from Harry Carney's strings album? Have to play that one again soon!
  17. I like Claude's avatar
  18. Oh, but wait, that's colour, so it's not what you were looking for, sorry!
  19. Too bad it's not available in vivid colors! ← purrty vivid I'd say, but that's just one man's opinion, of course
  20. Margitza can play indeed! Here's an earlier thread about him.

    Funny Rat

    Ordered that Tchicai, and added this one: No idea if that was a stupid or a smart move... Also i think I did order the "New Dance" disc in the latest discplus.ch hat-sale (I think not that great a deal for foreign orders, due to shipping costs? Not sure... David, you're aware they're having another sale, I assume?) Played the Copland solo hatO, "Time Within Time", and I liked it a lot - quite in spite of what I expected... found it as moody as some of the better parts of that "jazz n (e)motion" box, really! That was one of the freebies we got from WXU at our interview
  22. tjobbe, got mine yesterday or before (wasn't home for a couple of days so can't tell) - thanks a lot! I'll try to participate again, for a change!

    Funny Rat

    Playing this one again: Still like this a whole lot! The mix of folsky touches (as often pulled by Guyvoronsky as by Petrova) with free (? is it free or does it just make that impession?) parts, the mingling of abstract passages with almost grooving ones (or both of that happening at the same time) makes this a very enjoyable set for me. Also, it's a disc that's pretty easy on the ears, yet never gets boring or dull... not just your run of the mill chamber jazz!
  24. My info on the Berlin "Au Privave" (assuming there's not another version of it from the 24th, too): Kirk, Rahsaan Roland 1964-09-27 Berlin-Schöneberg (DE), Jazztage, Prälaten Roland Kirk (ts,whistle), Sonny Stitt (as), Walter Bishop Jr. or Tete Montoliu (p), Tommy Potter or Peter Trunk (b), Kenny Clarke (d), add J.J. Johnson (tb-#2) Sound: B+ TT: 24:20 Source: radio broadcast 1. Au Privave (15:03) 2. Steeplechase (8:00) I also have: Kirk, Roland - Quartet Berlin (DE), Philharmonie, Jazztage 1964-09-26 Roland Kirk - flute, manzello, stritch, tenor sax, vocals; Tete Montoliu - piano; Jimmy Woode - bass; Kenny Clarke - drums Sound: A-/B+ Source: radio broadcast 1. So Long Note, Baby 6:45 I wonder why Lonehill is sure about it being Tete on "Au Privave" - can you check the timings to see if this is indeed the same recording? The Montmartre recordings are a badly documented mess, it seems! I have this, but I would not bet anything on correctness of the date! Roland Rahsaan Kirk Club Montmartre Copenhagen, Denmark Oct 10, 1963 FM Broadcast -> Tapes -> Philips CDR765 -> dBpowerAMP Music Converter Roland Rahsaan Kirk (ts, fl, mzo, strich, nose flute, siren, et al..) Tete Montoliu (p) Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen (b) J.C. Moses (d) Alex Riel* (d) 1. Three for the festival 3:36 2. Every things happens to me 5:53 3. Moon river 5:22 4. Body and soul 8:26 5.

Playlist is the very same for #1-7, but timings are different...)
