In my opinion: yes, very much so! Though I consider Bev and jazz1 (he's not posted for a long time, though) the Westbrook authorities here. ubu

I obviously didn't know that expression... but knowing what "Baedeker" is I got a good laugh... Of course I never meant to say the Brits were the only who did bombings, but that IS the image many Germans now try to set up, even if by just not mentioning their own track record, without actually denying it. Quite sick stuff going on there... But now indeed back to Westbrook!

Hey wait a minute, did the Brits also drop bombs on Exeter during WWII?

sure, it's yours..... , will send it out monday (still have your address) Cheers, Tjobbe Thanks a lot! My offering: Miles Davis: 1964 Concert (Four&More plus My Funny Valentine) For someone who does not plan to get the the "Seven Steps" box... ubu

Hey, can I get the Jordan?

so this thread boils down to the fact that walmart is communist, or did i get something wrong here? got a good laugh...

up!

"Turner in Uri" is great! I've got a broadcast recording of most of it (I believe the last of 7 parts is incomplete, otherwise it's all there).

Hey, no delays here! You guys are almost working too fast! I guess the European discs will take longer to arrive than the US with you doing the copying so fast!

Thanks! (on both points B-) )

Check with Easy Jet...

Love that cover, too! Oh, and the Jaspar/Thomas quintet RCA disc is very good as well!

I can't see any photos! Big fan of Thomas! "Guitar Groove" is a fantastic disc - all those who're afraid Concord f*§#s Fantasy up, get that one! In addition to great guitar, there's some fantastic J.R. Monterose there, and good piano by unsung Hod O'Brien. Then add Tootie Heath and Teddy Kotick... need I say more? His Jazz in Paris discs are quite good as well, the one that came out first being slightly preferred here. The (great) Sacha Distel hors série Jazz in Paris 2CD set has that photo of Distel, Thomas and Raney, yes? A bunch of great plectrists! ubu

Letov is a great Russian sax and clarinets player, not exclusively a barisax player. Just thought when i saw the thread title I'd have to share one of those cool photos!

Thanks! I guess I'll try and go!

I'm in the very same situation as Epithet - knowing Expansions will be in, I guess I'll need this! ubu

up! and just to make it clear: I'm talking of my BFT *itself* - not of any additional discs! grab the chance!

The Westbrooks will perform their latest programme, "Art Wolf", here in Zürich on March 8. I'm not sure if I should try and catch it. The band is: K.W. (voc,tenor-horn), M.W. (p,euphonium), Peter Whyman (ss), Chris Biscoe (as). I guess I'd prefer seing a larger band... ubu

Most of them look like the second generation of digipacks (the first being the "Atlantic Original Sound" ones, with a note by Claude Nobs). Can't tell about the sound, but to me the best ones seem to be the Rhino jewel case reissues, but then these are album-only reissues, no complete sessions, no bonus materials (as the older Rhinos from the US had). Also the "Great Ray Charles" includes a wrong track (there's a separate thread I started about that). ubu

Sorry I got the engineer wrong... I even prefer Pearson, usually, so... No more ratty listening after that Guy/Parker set, but some early sixties Coltrane (with Dolphy - shoot, David!) live stuff. Need to return to Coltrane more often in the weeks to come! Won't be even close to Paris, but I'll look for broadcasts on France Musiques (last year they had a few Banlieues Bleues concerts, but that festival is so big... we can only hope they pick some interesting ones). ubu

...and for those who don't check that part of the forum and still would be interested in hearing two discs full of rare stuff. Nuff said! Drop a PM and I'll organise you a disc! ubu

Please post here once you get your discs, so that I can update the second post in this thread! ubu

Wow, I didn't know he played left handed. Live and learn. Uh, I saw him in concert twice and didn't notice... but then I'm no trombone player (I know I know, bad excuse). Now why did I think this thread was about Sergey Letov? Will have to listen to "Porgy & Bess" again, been a long time, but I thought of wishing away the dust from that set and give it a spin again soon, anyway. Now on Banks: he's great on the Foster/Wallington 10" Blue Note Conn! Sol Schlinger anyone?

As was 'Friends & Neighbours' by Ornette. Yup, and all of them were reissued twice, first in jewel cases (93 or so?) and later as part of the RCA Victor Gold Series (digipacks) or at least made up the same way as the Victor Gold series releases. Don't know how the remasters compare, have only old ones, so far (three Gatos and the Ornette). Those older ones were BMG/RCA releases. ubu
