Sorry to interrupt your Wayne's World discussion (can't add anything to that, I'm afraid), but here's one of my all time favourite solo piano albums: I think I prefer this one by a close shave to the San Francisco Riverside. The other Riverside solo already mentioned has a much looser feel to it, which is great, but I don't love it as much as I do the ones above. Then there's, ahm, God, of course: And how about Bill Evans solo? I mainly consider him being a trio pianist, but then he made some very nice solo albums, as well! ubu

Tchicai is on the Dorge disc dedicated to Dyani I mentioned above. If he is playing some of the solos I think (there's a second tenor player), he's got a great full fat sound. There's a nice story on Mats Gustafsson in the October issue of The Wire (the one with Zeena Parkins and Ikue Mori on the cover - didn't read that story yet). ubu

And agree with what B3-er said

love the rat part!

I will have to look for that "Vintage Dolphy" disc! Difficult to find? That one IS good, I wasn't sure you were talking of this. It was out on a twofer on Verve/Phillips, "The Cool World/Dizzy goes Hollywood", two very nice albums of one of Dizzy's best bands, the one with James Moody and Kenny Barron. I love it! Same here, but I'd ratehr have at least four of those six tracks instead of waiting for a reissue that never happens... It seems there's an alternate take of "All About Rosie" on this CD: I'm not sure if this one has only been released long after the actual recordings took place, but if not, if it was out on LP back in the day, it certainly fits the topic of this thread, as well (I don't yet own it, though). ubu

Another nice thing I found googling:

This is all from the Downbeat website:

I can't help with regard to key sessions, but I enjoy immensely what I've heard of his music. There is a 3CD box set called "A Study in Frustration" (what a title ) on Columbia, but it has horrible sound. Nice booklet, however. Here's a photo: And one more: ubu

oh yes he was! William S. Burroughs by Richard Avedon, 41 1/2 by 33 1/4 inches, 1975, Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Truman Capote by Richard Avedon, 41 38 by 33 1/4 inches, 1974, Collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art ubu

A bit cheaper at Django's. Have been eyeing this one as well, and missed a cheap new copy in a store here... ubu

David, I only have that great stoopid music album of Dickerson's with Sun Ra that came out in Verve's Elite Edition. Nothing more, so far. To go or not to go, this is the question! ubu

Now about the Saalfelden 04 gig: it seems that Austrian broadcasting company will broadcast all of that concert in an Ö1 "Jazznacht" in november, persumably (but not confirmed yet, check http://oe1.orf.at for more) on Saturday Nov. 20, or rather, Sunday Nov. 21, 1 a.m. - 2 a.m. (that's the usual timeframe for broadcasts in the "Jazznacht" which goes on until 6 a.m.). I heard two encores from that concert, Taylor & Oxley, played one long track (around 50 mins) and then continued to play some short "encores", it seems quite a few of them. Knowing how well they fit together from the 10CD Feel Trio set, I'm pretty excited about getting to hear this concert!

Are these the nice little girlie daughters of our good friends Brötzl and Eneidi?

now pu-lleaze, mister, that IS discriminating! And I always knew those Russian didn't know how to think historical - if they don't even get the sense of chronology... ubu

so I guess I am a thread crapper, right?

Hey you moldy fig! Didn't you know that Brötzelmeister has been accepted as an old-fashioned mainstream jazz musician thirty years ago?

That's what I meant to say, of course! Thanks for correcting!

Capitol is part of the EMI "family", yes? Strange, so it does not run low because of any licensing problems, I suppose? I'm afraid I'll HAVE to get it... ubu

Speaking of Enja Weber, I got this one some time ago, and it's quite good, it couples two whole albums: The first one is with Hancock, McBee (not the Japanese clothes store), and Jimmy Lovelace, the second with Hubert Eaves, Ron Carter, McCury, Kenneth Nash. Recorded in 1965 and 1974 respectively.

D.D.: that's the Enja Horst Weber label, the Winckelmann has been active all the time and bringing us some goodies regularly. Weber has not been really out of business, it seems - he did, for instance that duo disc (don't have it) of Shepp and Waldron, two years ago or maybe three. I'm not really interested in the Takase - she did an earlier programme, I think exactly the same band, but with Fred Frith on guitar, and no trumpet playing W.C. Handy - don't know the disc, but her Willisau gig was... well, annoying. You didn't really get to know if they actually WERE playing that bad and amateur-like, or if they consciously TRIED TO APPEAR as amateurs... Mahall was in charge of spoken introductions, they were NOT funny yet some of them went longer than the music to follow (4 minutes of talking, then 3 minutes of music - glad that rationale applies not to all concerts and neither to CDs...) end of rant. That disc you have with Dorge sounds pretty cool! Didn't check out Khan Jamal, but it seems he's one of more (or most) interesting vibists coming on us since the sixties.

Check that site again, there's some new stuff there! ubu

Sad news. R.i.p. ubu

Thanks! So I'll go back to that store and get the other DVD as well!

For the most part I agree with Mike, but I wouldn't want to do away with the Funny Rat thread, either. I really enjoy the "conversation" we are having there. Voted yes, but I'd miss the rat, for sure!

Gary, more from that concert, as well as many CDs more worth of live recordings are available as MP3s on Osby's website: http://www.gregosby.com/mp3.html and http://www.gregosby.com/mp3b.html ubu
