Dime is down now, too... U2 being the problem, this time! I wish they'd just let us quietly have our little jazz party over there and stop those moneymoneymoney bands... keep the seeds open, the tracker is still running!

Got a note stating they have delivery delays... I got the mail announcing the sale a quarter of an hour before putting in my order, so I hope they will deliver, in the end. The website mentions a same-day or next-day shipping policy, but my mail said shipping should be in week 19 (I think that's the current week, so...) I'll keep you posted!

I love you, brownie! B-)

Shipping for this order (of roughly 90 CHF) is 9.50 CHF (inside Switzerland, that is). Maybe some of you want to check it they have fair international shipping prizes? (I assume not as Swiss postal services are pretty espensive, usually...) Here's the link: Discplus Hat-sale Go to the bottom of that page and select "alle 170" to get the full list displayed.

If you're talking the Spanish/Andorran (Jazz Factory/Definitive) edition, probably just a rip of the Blue Note/EMI set, if you're talking the Japanese single discs, I can see two volumes (1 CD each), each more expensive than the 3CD set...

Isn't there a second sax on those My Favorite Things and Bags' Groove parts? My notes say so, but I can't tell for sure, as it's been some time since I listened to this one. "Out to Lunch" came to my mind, too!

That session is indeed terrific!

they don't call it the big-bang-theory fer nuthin'!

Contrast and compare: Anthony: Toni: http://www.vaisseaux.net/photos/Toni_Braxton_01.jpg You tell me if there's ANY doubt about who's smoother.

Not really, but it sure as hell isn't your father's organ trio, either. Uh, you know, my father (not really, but maybe his father's father's father...) rather had an alphorn trio than an organ trio But still: can I get my money back?

I gave it two full listens over the weekend, plus we had it in the background when friends were over for dinner yesterday (of course they asked who that accordion guy was after three notes of "Ruby My Dear"...). I think this is one of my favourite releases of late! Galliano is a master musician!

Organissimo goes smooth jazz!

Is that Anthony and Toni? I always wondered if Anthony wasn't a bit too smooth. Certainly too few edges there. I don't know if this is fair to Toni, though... Also i wonder, why would parents call their kids almost identically?

Finally picked it up on saturday, and I tellya, this is da shit! A fantastic disc all round! Galliano is really really great - he swings, he's got the blues feeling, he plays ballads that are deeply felt, he can go the lyrical/moody/melodious lane... he can do it all, he's a master! Grenadier & Penn offer solid support and it seems like these three guys enjoyed performing together quite some! This one comes highly recommended! Oh, one more thing to note: he plays the dynamics! The changes in volume on this disc are incredible, and I like that! Too much of today's straightahead jazz is just going on at a loud volume and nothing ever changes, in that respect. This is not the case here, and that is good, for me.

Saturday: the new Richard Galliano disc (fabulous!) and the euro-version of the Golson/Farmer Mosaic!

that will not be enough to uhm... nail Tom

Happy birthday Cary! And many happy returns!

Which one? Nicole Kidman runs off with catesta, punches Tom Cruise in the face before leaving. not that one, no, you just made that up, loser! I meant this one - funny ol' thread!

wasn't there some Nicole Kidman story here, earlier?

more poopy grinning...

No, I'm just running around the house.

Oh no! So glad I saw him at his last gig here... not outstanding, but he had his own way with the trumpet, and that was fun to witness! Will have to spin his Candid album again soon, like that one a lot!

Oh, and I hope you'll like the show! I was a bit disappointed about the 4-star vote, as it's one of my all time favourites!

Thanks Jim! Could you please post your response in the comments to that thread? I pm-ed the guy and promised to check if anyone can help him, as I'm clueless with Macs!
