Don't forget "Crazy! Baby" - one of his best, and probably my favorite session without any horns! The live 2CD set available in the RVG series, "Groovin' at Smalls'" is another great one without horns. ubu

Have gotten immesurable joy from listening to discs 4-6 of the Django set! What a great musician he was! ubu

impossible to vote here... a few other important ones: Intakt (Switzerland, www.intaktrec.ch/) Hat Records (Switzerland, www.hathut.com) FMP/Free Music Production (Germany, www.fmp-online.de/) ubu

Picked that disc up in some sale some time ago, liked it quite a lot, too! Will have to give it a spin again. I believe that neither Sambeat nor Puig are german, but probably Spanish. Sambeat made discs with Brad Mehldau (the Rossy brothers are Spanish too, aren't they?). Here's the cover: And here's the Valle profile from the ACT website: (source: http://www.actmusic.com/valle-bio.htm) ubu

Have been lying in bed since Sunday, went - for the very first time - through discs 1 to 17 of the Ducal RCA box. Right now: the Bud Freeman sessions on Disc 4 of the Capitol Mosaic, before that the whole disc 1 of the same set. Will stay with it for a while listening to some select sessions, some still are new to me. ubu

I thought this was some kind of poll... wouldn't have been sure if I'd voted for George W. the glorious crusader, or for ariceffron, future of US law

I have to agree on "Unit Structures" - it may indeed be THE BADDEST ever album Blue Note recorded! ubu

looking forward, thanks!

Have a good one, Adrian! And many happy returns! ubu

Volume 1 Volume 2 There's another disc I found that might be of interest for you: Background for Brando ubu

pm sent!

I planned to get everything ready last weekend, but I caught some flu again and am in bed with high fever since Saturday night, not having any of the BFT material with me... Sorry, can't step in earlier! ubu

As far as I know, Ortega is alive. I think so, too. Anyone has heard this disc? It's a quartet with g-b-d. ubu

David, thanks for the additional Leo recommendations! I saw the Gies, and the Fei, too, I think. The Bickerton and Maneri I got from John a few months back. Problem now is that I'm sick in bed with rather high fever and don't know when I can make it back to that store...

The group disc on Free America ("Donna Lee") is marvellous! I haven't yet been able to check out the solo set (which holds 2CDs, by the way). I tried my lousy reviewing skills on "Donna Lee" in the "funny rat". Should be on the second newest page now (page 100, if you use the 40 posts/page option). ubu

Thanks a lot David! Btw: the "Frontier" disc I listed above I got, mixed that up when browsing the Leo site. Will look for: - Karayorgis: Heart & Sack (& any other of his discs) - Moscow Composers Orchestra (all I can find, at least two I think) - Guyvoroska/Petrova (sounds interesting) - Collective 4tet - Trio Alliance and will get an earful of: - Bley/Maslak (very ugly cover, but Feigin seems to be rather good in designing those ugly covers...) - Maslak's "Mother Russia" if it's there - any Remote Viewers other than the one I have - Actis Dato (need to find out myself, but I had an earful and found it boring, will invest a bit more time) Thanks again everybody! ubu

Thanks for teh recommendations! I believe I saw otehr Karayorgis discs, but couldn't remember which ones when browsing the Leo site. Any other recommendations? Not sure about the Carlo Actis Dato, as I got an earful at the shop the day before yesterday, and wasn't really convince of it. ubu

Nope, didn't list that one. There were several discs on sale taht I have, such as that Remote Viewers disc, the Collective 4tet, a Maneri trio, Chameleo Vulgaris, ARP Music (anyone needs it?), and maybe some more, too. Thanks for the ratings. Now waiting for our Russian friend to chime in! ubu

(Vincenzo Mazzone: Ping Pong, Leo Lab 056) (Remote Viewers: Obliques Before Pale Skin, Leo Lab 063) (Keshavan Maslak / Paul Bley: Romance In The Big City, Leo Records 104) (Vyacheslav Guyvoronsky / Evelin Petrova Duo: Chonyi Together, Leo Records 268) That's about it, so it's in fact mostly Leo Lab releases. There were some more, but I couldn't remember all the covers... ubu

(J.W.Brennan: Moskau-Petushki, Leo Lab 034) (Moscow Composers Orch) Feat. Sainkho: Let Peremsky Dream, Leo Lab 035) (Natsuki Tamura: A Song for Jaki, Leo Lab 039) (Vyacheslav Ganelin/Petras Vysniauskas/Arkadi Gotesman: Trio Alliance, Leo Lab 042) (Pandelis Karayorgis Trio) (I believe I have a recording of the original radio broadcast of this one) ... to be continued

So here's some Leos I think I saw in the sale, any recommendations appreciated! (Moscow Composer Orch. feat. Namchylak: Italian Love Affair, Leo Lab 019) (Max Nagl: Daily Bullet, Leo Lab 023 - some strange vocals here...) ... to be continued

Indeed Christiern: Thanks very much! And yes, "Cathouse Piano" includes one 10" and one 12" album, and yes, going from memory (being at work), I think you indeed wrote the notes! ubu
