so it looks! The new Golson photos are great, too, by the way!

Thanks for the nice photos, Mark!

Finally got this one! A great compilation, indeed! Only I'd wish for a complete discography! Amazon UK has it for 9 £. ubu Thanks for the link ubu. I actually managed to order it from one of their Marketplace sellers for £2.16 a short while ago. You're going to like it! Mine just arrived .... Loved it... rather eclectic .... and I REALLY want to find that John Mehegan "In South Africa" album (a cut of which, with Kippy, is on this CD), which was originally issued on a Gallo LP in the early sixties. I wonder if it was ever reissued on CD. PLEEEEEEAZE hook up with me in case you can find that Mehegan! I'd die to hear more of it!

Is that tradition maintained by Italo-Americans? And hey, you also need James T Cat in your avatar, no?

Didn't Katz also write those real nice and very informed notes for the 2CD reissue of all of Columbia's Monk solo sides? A real good writer he is, too (besides being a real good piano player, of course). ubu

Thanks for these recommendations, John! The Nessa is on the list, and I'll certainly get a few more some day, too, but NOT RIGHT NOW... x-mas is being hard on my bank account without me buying even more CDs...

I'm a big fan of the Wilson Mosaic, I had two complete listens so far (and some incompletes, of course), and I think this is one that continues to grow. Of the thirties recordings I only know the music that is part of the Billie Holiday Columbia box, and very little besides that. Oh, of course the marvellous Goodman trio, too! Love it! There's one nice trio date with Benny Carter, on the Verve disc "3,4,5", which I remember is compared by the guy who wrote the liners, to the trio date Carter made with Art Tatum. A beautiful date, will have to listen to that one soon again.

and?

Fred who? "On the Run" is great, but it's so far the only Anderson disc I own. ubu

Same here, but still sad news. Love those discs with the Mulligan quartet, brownie - and you were there, wow! Of course the Getz stuff is all classic.

"The complete King Ubu beheadings - the frozen broom series" (there are other volumes available, of course

The first one just lost his head, which made the second one in line lose his mind and escape, however, our true servants Pile and Cotice are now dragging him back. Let him have more luck than the first

We would yet have to try, but it would of course not hurt us polish kings - however, we would definitely let some of our subjects have a first try!

sure is true - don't ask me why, but many people here think we need that, I suppose. ubu

Boy, haven't heard that kind of attitude since, oh, about 1941-1945. In Europe WWII began in 1939, not 1941. yes, of course, but the US only came to know about it in 1941

(Leeway: take it easy - Switzerland was not actually ever a Nazi-state, BUT they did collaborate, and to an extent that was more than what would have been needed to survive. But, another BUT: those years have been meticulously documented in the nineties, huge reports by renowned historians in a way hardly ever a nation worked on its own history.) ubu

Thanks, Eric & Garth! Sounds like a nice set, indeed! I'll put in on my "list"... ubu

Ok - otherwise the mistake would not have been on all of the reissue's copies.

not much else I spin, besides jazz, but I definitely love these two!

hope you'll be seeing a great film! happy birthday ubu

Mark, do you have the CD that looks like the one in my first post, or do you have this one: If you indeed have this one, it's very strange:

Sam Rivers now on Jazz on BBC3: Listen here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio3_aod.shtml?jon3 There's some problem with sound, though. What a pity!

couple of examples... don't drink them all at once!

Happy birthday!

The king loves grappa! no particular favourite. You can get a good (or at least decent) one in almost every café/restaurant/bar here...
