I don't know what they asked him, as the guys who did the film are never heard (maybe once or twice, prob. when they weren't able to cut it out without destroying a segment). I guess that's just his personality... It was good but it was no music... utter b-s, but funny to watch! And then when you see the concert (Isle of Wight, I mean), it does somehow make sense (the energy thing), but when you listen to Live-Evil, it does not make sense, no way! Jarrett is soooo good (AND musical) there! Not that he's bad on the Isle of Wight concert, but Corea has all the solistic stuff to himself (not more than a few short spots) and doing all the "fills" in the accompaniment, too.

There's an interview segment with Jarrett in the recent "Miles Electric" DVD (the one culminating in the complete - friggin' feghing fantastic - Isle of Wight set). It's pretty funny to see what Jarrett has to say, as he obviously can't just put it down and say it was all b-s. He says he considered himself not making music there, that his part had no musical component, whatsoever, but rather he was adding kind of a specific "energy" to the band... Of course he did enjoy staying with Miles, that gets clear, too (and is prob. the main reason why he's not just putting it all down). Herbie tells about his first encounter with a Fender rhodes, too, btw. Pretty nice to see them. And Herbie plays some Fender solo, too.

#1 - is not Dutch. D.D.: you know and love the guy. #3 - again, is not Ellington, and not Hodges, either. And yes, it's a musician having fun (otherwise I wouldn't love it as much as I do). #7 - D.D.: you'd hate it if the soprano would get a solo, I tellya, you hate that guy! #10 - yup, but I won't tell to who's guess... #14 - again: this is kind of a bonus track. Thank John Litweiler - he brought me to the idea to include this... (HINT HINT HINT)

Hey fellas, you ain't got no feghing clue on #8, #11 and #12! These are masters at work, dig?

John: thanks for your post! Read comments above to see the accordion is not from a JiP (not from any album at all that is widely availablem, I have but that one beautiful track). On #10: funny both you and D.D. go with Parker! The bassist has been much maligned by some (I think on this board, too). Mucho bigger name here than Parker (at least historically and bass-ically speaking). On #12: again, no album here... this comes from vinyl, but I don't have it all. Your guesses are completely off, btw On #13: again funny both you and D.D. were reminded of VDMK. *********** As it now looks as if Rooster's BFT will start in early April, I assume we have enough time for mine, and I won't drop any further hints already (not sure these hints will be of much help, though...) ubu

tooter - Golson yes, but not Drew and not NHOP - this is not a Scandinavian recording You finally nailed "Blood Count"! Marty - that tune's "Blood Count", but give your "Star-Crossed Lovers"-idea another guess as applied to #5... not too far off there... (HINT HINT HINT). And don't wait for EKE BBB to step in with his guesses, he should id all of them tunes! (Otherwise we'll officially re-name him as "b3-er" because he loves greazy organ so much )

Sorry to say, D.D., all your guesses are quite off mark... try a little harder on the pianist, my friend, I guess we all know that is not Cecil there... I'd be delighted to hear that russian accordion player! Get that disc(s) for me, too, please! Now on the piano trio track: you're a few decades wrong there... the bassist is a yurpeen who "made it" in the US, is most highly regarded by some but dissed in quite a harsh way by others... A big bass-name hidden there. The other two are rather well-known, too. Ray: I'm not at all laughing (well, I had to chuckle some times, I do admit that), but I'm finding it fascinating. I mean, there's a few obvious ones on both discs, and there's lots of unknown in between, and I'm really enjoying all your comments! There may be quite some "DUH!"s coming when the answers are revealed, but I am perfectly aware that my BFT is pretty difficult. However, I have to stress again that I do enjoy reading everybody's guesses and thoughts a lot! ubu

I sure love the music on it! Can't go wrong with Hawk and Eddie C.! It's a bit beat up, though. Got it in trade for a live tape I had done for the guy at that shop - he said I should choose any one item there... saw that and it was clear what to take!

Funny how some prefer the riddim section here... I prefer the horns a bit, too, but as couw says: let the tinkler do his stuff and he's fine! CHECK THAT DRUMMER, BTW! ONE OF THE BIGGEST NAMES ON DISC ONE (HINT HINT HINT). No more of this... Not even much info on the musician. couw sees the positive things (here and on #5)! to that, and I really mean it! I have no idea where the swoosh is coming from, but after the first seconds it doesn't bother me anymore. Maybe deterioration of tapes, maybe a mastering error on my source... I didn't really give that much thinking... intuition, maybe? Maybe a stoopid mail form the couw-man or a beer that helped pulling decisions? The couw-man is a madman, yes? Though I guess I'm just as mad, so let me add my own comments on #11 (a short preview of my answers thread): "heheheh" I'm still not sure if this is an alto or a tenor... others are confused, too, I see. Can someone help? I mean, it doesn't go low down enough to be sure it's not an alto, but the sound is so full and big that I find it hard to think of this as an alto... :lol Nothing you did (or did not or did wrong) with this! Can you id the tune? It's not the composer on piano, btw! I am not in posession (yet) of any of those Koller MPS reissues, so I can't comment... Thanks again for some very interesting comments! ubu

you mixed something up there... more comin'!

D.D.: glad you liked some of the music! As I said, I didn't do a "funny rat" bft - though THAT would be a very interesting thing! Now that guy on #4 has certainly dug a lot of Brötzmann, sound-wise, heh heh heh! No need to search for such big names... that same pianist has been dissed by you elsewhere.... w: Again nice to hear someone more likes this one! "Whisper Not" is one of my favourite tunes, too, and this track one of my faves of Disc 1. I'm afraid there's no way of buying this disc. I don't even know if there's more than this cut around... Give me the names, please, of each of the three! I suppose you got the bassist right, but I'm far from sure you id-ed the others correctly, too! Thought you'd like this and the next one... not Sauer. Not Kessler, not VDMK, not McPhee C'mon, don't be pretentious That pianist... I'll say no more except you've mentioned him being a favourite several times... You sure you know these guys? Post names if you do... w: Thanks to you! Some very interesting comments! ubu

Lots of "work" for me here... First: to [...] for id-ing the first solo instrument on #15 correctly! Took a long time for someone to hear that... (<--ubu, won't tell you yet who id-ed correctly... hey folks, stop!, hear!, listen!) ubu

Now my "2,3,4": organge center, black around, with four times each the i! (black on white, in squares) and four times impulse! in between (i and ! again white, mpulse oragne). Product fo AM-PAR Record Corp, Printed in USA. That looks like an original, too? Got it for free (in some trade with a guy at that record shop - it was labelled with the equivalent of 30 Euros).

Should be the Atlantic blue/green label I think (mid-1960s). Green and red label would be a 1970s reissue. "Half Note" is blue-green, "Sweden" is orange-purple. So I guess I have a mono original of "Sweden" and a stereo original of "Half Note", yes? WAY COOL! I guess those are - besides maybe the Shelly Manne "3,4,5" and a mono "Love Supreme" that is pretty beat up - my only original LPs! brownie, I should have added some smiley, too...

The amount of Duke... well, in respect of him actually performing, it's not as big as obviously expected by a few who've posted already (and there was no money for an additional singer that night, sorry to say ) Then on "Body & Soul"... more ubu going

My own humble tribute to the great man... his voice is there, clearly to be heard and now properly identified! (Sorry to say it's not Thad, but hey, that was pretty close already!) His playing is hidden somewhere, too...

Obviously I prefer the graphic covers, too... but that one with the guitar lady is pretty cool (and much of its time, I guess, somehow reminds me of that old flick "Barbarella"...) I can't speak about the music - I have rarely ever browsed the hard bossa thread (otherwise I would have noted that couw had posted a link to the site AND mentioned the covers [not only the free tunes] before... ) ubu

Bentsy: I'll revive that JiP thread again in a few days... It will take some time for me to catch up with these, but the Urtreger has been recommended by many (and mostly, I remember, by brownie)! Got my zweit package including: - Tjader Playse Mambo - Booger Heavy!!! - Big Bags - Pepper Adams Encounter! - Getz w/ Raney & Gibbs - Harold in the Land of Jazz (wonder how that one is, Penguin says it's bad) - Ray Bryant Trio - Byrd/Burrell All Night Long - Stitt Kaleidoscope - Ellington Suites - Sims & Gershwin Bros. - K.D. 2 horns 2 riddim - MJQ Concorde - Art Farmer Septet - Art Pepper Hollywood 5CD box !!!

Got it! Wowee!

This was originally released by Gene Norman Presents under Marty Paich's name. First a ten-incher, then a twelve-incher. Both in the '50s. It was also released as 'Tenors West' if I remember right. It was reissued in the late '70s as by Giuffre/Paich when Giuffre became 'famous' Thanks! But... Giuffre famous? How could that happen?

Happy Birthday!

Indeed! I guess Bird lives nowhere in or around Zurich, but that may change tomorrow...

Some vinyl I took out of the shelf, planning to play over the next few weeks (I seldom play my LPs, but there's some real nice ones that - only because they're LPs - are getting much too little air time): - Farmer/Golson: Another Git Together (Japanese reissue) - Art Farmer: "live" at the half-note (old-looking Atlantic*) - Art Farmer: To Sweden with Love (old-looking Atlantic*) - Eddie Bert: Musician of the Year (Savoy, RCA reissue from 1985) - Teddy Edwards/Howard McGhee: Young at Heart (Storyville) - Bud Shank: Live at the Haig (see more here) - Tenors West: Jimmy Giuffre with the Marty Paich Octet (GNP 1977**) - Fru'n Brew: Tony Fruscella & Brew Moore (Spotlite) - Sal Salvador feat. Eddie Costa: Tribute to the Greats (Bethlehem, Freshsound reissue) - Curtis Fuller: Blues-ette (Savoy, RCA reissue from 1984) * how to check if these are original pressings? Not that I care all that much, but I have the LPs at hand and the knowledgeable people here... ** was that the original release? Or did that come out earlier? ubu

Seven Jazz in Paris discs: - Urtreger joue Bud Powell (FINALLY!!!) - both B. Peiffer trio discs - Jazz et cinéma Vol. 4 - Modern jazz à Saint-Germain - Porgy & Bess - Stéphane Grapelli, "Django" Nice little sale (though a wee bit more expansive then getting them on Amazon, but if it's just a wee bit, I like buying in some good - well, ok - stores), and I'll get more...

http://www.sabadabada.com/new_page_2.htm WHOA! Some very very very cool covers there! A few favourites:
