king ubu

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!

Currently spinning "Art & Soul" love it! The opening track, Ornette's 11+1/2 bar "Blues Connotation" is great, and "African Flower".... wow! Othen than that I only have "Life on Earth" so far. I didn't know her discs are so easy to find, they never ever pop up here, neither new nor used. ubu

some more belated best wishes!

thanks, John! fun stuff!

Here's a few I picked up today, in the same sale, only this time 3 franks a piece (around 2$): François Houle & Benoît Delbecq - Dice Thought (Songlines, 2002) (this one's an SACD, doesn't help me any, but I couldn't choose at taht price...) Urs Leimgruber - Jacques Demierre - Barre Phillips "Wing Vane" (Victo, 2001) (sorry, no picture) Vandermark 5 - Simpatico (Atavistic, 1999) (why not give that disc a chance at such a nice price...) (Material Records, 2003) (funny enough I find this while listening to a live recording of this same group on my minidisc player...) George Adams & Hannibal Marvin Peterson (Enja Weber, 1984, CD: 1994) (this one was recorded in a legendary [before my days] jazz club "Bazillus" in Zurich) (Koch, 2000) Recently heard Johnston the first time, in a broadcast with Guy Klucevsek, I wonder what he'll sound like in a full band. (naïive, 2001) Susanne Müller & Eliane Cueni, "Zut" (Brambus Records, 2001) THen I finally got Dolphy's "Illinois Concert", and those folks sold it to me for the same incredible price of 3 Franks, although being part of another ongoing sale dedicated to Blue Note, I should have payed 15 for it (same for Lou Donaldson's Everything I Play Is Funky Raregroove). ALso got a Howard Rumsey disc for the dirtcheap price: "Music for Lighthousekeeping" (OJCCD) featuring Sonny Clark, Bob Cooper, Conte Candoli, Frank Rosolino and Stan Levey. Not very ratty, though... ubu

From "Nation Time" I only heard the one track that is available for free download so far. Sounds great! I guess the thing is that those who play music of that kind often tend to structure and organize their music in some way. That's why I wouldn't cound Steve Coleman as free funk. Also the ones like Gary Thomas or Terri Lyne Carrington, what they do often is so boring... competent jazz rock or whatever, but usually it just sounds dead to my ears. The Thomas disc on the other hand is very much alive, very raw, chaotic, and fun. I think Defunkt can deliver that kind of music, even within the much narrower frame they usually have as they're playing tunes. I have a live recording of theirs (I missed that concert, was at a festival, and I went home being tired just before they played) that is great. ubu
