I will report on "Wing Vane" once I get to it. Looks great, though. "Drums Unlimited" I have in a strnage older version from 1988, labelled Atlantic, Warner, and EastWest Japan depending from which side you look at it. About "Triangle", I got a burn of that (as well as the Soulnote "... Mars" disc that was album of the week some time ago), and like both of them very much, but haven't listened to them as often as I should. I have the same tendency to disgrade Johnson & Erskine, however, I picked up this very nice Erskine disc last year: It came out on Novus, orignally, but in 99 Erskine reissued it on his own Fuzzy Music label (I think it's his own, not sure). It features Johnson and Kenny Werner as the basic rhythm trio, and added soloists include Lovano (often in quartet), Scofield (only on three tracks, one in quartet, one with Lovano and Randy Brecker), and on one track Bob Mintzer and Randy Brecker, Lovano & Sco. The disc is great, if you find it, don't hesitate! Kenny Werner is another highly competent "contemporary piano trio" man. I just recorded parts of his concert at this years "Jazz à Ramatuelle" off French radio, and hey, that man is good! All of them players that are often too easily dismissed, I think. ubu

Thanks, Berigan. I have the first four tracks, in this case! Brownian Motion, if you see this, could you please type up the musicians? thanks, ubu

deus strikes back (the sequel, in theaters soon)!

Just bought this one in a sale: Marvin "Hannibal" Peterson - tp George Adams - ts, vcl Ron Burton - p John Scofield - g Walter Schmocker - b Allen Nelson - d rec. at "Bazillus", Zurich, September 9, 1984 (Enja Horst Weber) No time to listen to it yet, but I'll report.

Had a listen to this one, love the three Taylor tracks! They have a loose feeling I miss on some of his other early stuff (namely the Candid sessions). Great treatment of that Billy Strayhorn tune! Also just finished listening to this one: Not the easiest music to listen to, but I think it's quite a fascinating disc. Combine the deceptively simple yet tricky Lacy tunes with Gustafsson at the most complex and exploring... out comes a disc that's about as much about sounds and noise as it is about Lacy's music. That is not meant in a negative way. Had a listen to the above-pictured Delbecq-Houle disc, not sure about it yet. Right now listening to the Rob Scheps-Zach Brock webcast I linked above. Solid mainstream jazz, a bit on the unusual side with violin in the frontline. Then: Geoff: I finally had a listen to your improvisation, and HELLYEAH! Keep goin'!

to marvel, that's why I allowed you, in the first time... oh, no, sorry, that was deus himself, but hey, he's absent. he just created and then went back to wherever he came from...

Shouldn't you be practicing on your bari? I heard you got a gig. and it comes with screen time! how's the script coming along? the king just informed me he will recede now and emerge later with a bag full of noises. what kind of kindergarten is this? the king was practising tenor (and having dinner) at a friends' and coming back he finds his subjects acting in such disgusting ways... tzz tzz

Feel like passing that Smith on? I could just manage 48 bucks now... B-)

http://www.woundedbird.com/ they do reissue of Atlantic discs, among other things. Here's the cover: and the info:

at least the french did that with panache and style... je veux du gateau!

Has this turned into the younger brother of the stoopid question thread? Why didn't the British behead the @#$ing royals? Do they consider themselves living in a democracy?

Happy Birthday!

has democracy ever elicited an intelligent response?

where was that heard?

Same here, Flurin: Mine's this one:

Don't know much of Watts recordings, but I love his playing on the one disc of the Quartet West I have. Should check out more...

when did this board learn to see?

Quite interesting, Lazaro! I have yet to sit down and REALLY listen, but from a casual listen I liked what I heard! Thanks for sharing! ubu

I'm by no means a professional, but maybe you could invite me for lunch in Zurich some day (even though I'm NOT a lady Seriously, if you don't get any other offers, we could give it a try. I don't have the most gorgeous tone on bari-sax, and not the fastest fingers etc, but if what you need is nothing ungodly, I could try. ubu

If you order direclty you'll get some discount once you order ten or more, I think. Drop them a mail, ask politely, they may offer you some deal, maybe.

I hope I can manage to record it myself but I know where to ask in case something goes wrong...

Then there was this couple as well...

Aren't they a terriffic couple?

Ubu likey! One of my favourite actresses ever!
