Sounds good! What is a good online source to get Victo releases from? I'll need that Phillips, too! ubu

(thanks, David!) Very joyful, loose music. The first track makes me think this music would not have been possible if it weren't for Abdullah Ibrahim... Really like it! It's as melodious as the more "in" italian jazz (Fresu, for instance), yet there is more to it. All four musicians (all unknown to me before) are very good! Now listening to Henry Grimes' ESP disc the third time, and I think it does get better. ubu

Thanks for that link, Bentsy! Some fantastic photos! ubu I bought his book ubu (many years ago). If you like photography, it is a treasure. I have his "White Women" - quite some of the photos on that link are in there. ubu

Thanks for that link, Bentsy! Some fantastic photos! ubu

I guess Carla taught Paul everything she knew. Paul taught Steve everything Carla new, and Steve taught Carla everything Paul knew... must have been this way or similar Thanks for sharing, John! Hilarious!

I wish you all the best of luck! Can't do much more than that, I'm afraid - hope you don't get hit too hard. ubu

S here.

Quite. Dutch timing? You certainly could produce the most exact cuckoo clocks! ubu

Yup, those tracks for me are among (if not the) highlights of that set!

That's one of my favourite Jazz in Paris discs! It features Sacha Distel on guitar. ubu

Except for the Clarinettes.... I have all of these. All recommended, except maybe the Prez. I'd only recommend this one to people already familiar with earlier and later recordings of his. It's a pretty tough one. Not that I'd want to miss it, but then it can really be hard to listen to. ubu

Two of my favourites:

"I" - although he was Dollar Brand for me too, when I got to know him.

Haven't yet really started exploring his work. The only things I own are "Black Orchid" and that other partially live disc, with additional tracks, and Harris on organ, can't remember teh title. If there was more available on Blue NOte, I might go for it... Happy birthday! ubu

It seems to be OOP already, so you better look for it fast! Here's a link to the Sketch homepage: http://www.sketch-studio.com/sketch-jazz/01hum.html ubu

Now this is one of the most amusing threads I've seen on this board! Can't offer any help, as these dreaded formulas never stuck to my head (had a programmable calculator for such stuf...)

A very kind person on this board presented me this great 3CD set: An great one! The Humair-Urtreger-Michelot set in three recordings, the first a live one from 1961 (?), the second late seventies (?) and the third a new one done for this release. Great booklet and all, a magnificient one! ubu

So I guess poor kings will have to get that centennial thing... thanks, EKE!

Can't help with you inquiries, Mike, but I'll soon have some more for your Barron discography... On topic: an awesome set! Some may remember that last year when I was on vacation, I had both Pablo Tatum boxes with me, as well as the Capitol and Verve 2CD sets. And that was my first real exposure to Tatum, and -wow- I was astonished! I was able to make it through maybe 2CDs a day, half a CD at the time or so. The solo masterpieces might be considered the holy grail of jazz piano, or whatever. Certainly one of the most impressing achievements made in jazz! ubu

How come you know that? My Taylor CDs are in a mess (packed up in bags, partly, without any order, and several layers of CDs... I'll do my best!) ubu

Great story, D.D.! Thanks for sharing. I guess that would be a session to have with alternates and false starts and farts and sirens included... couw: I am not sure about Kirk in Freeman, didn't hear it, so far. I'll listen to "The Improvisor" over the weekend, and will listen for it. The only other Vonski disc I have is the "Tenors" with Lateef. Sometimes there I find it pretty hard to tell them apart. Both got that full-bodied sound, loose phrasing etc. Love it! ubu PS: on these "Tenors" discs: haven't heard the Ford, but couldn't warm to the Shepp.

Tell me - I still owe you some, anyway!

Jim, here's the link to Amazon, forgot it in my post above: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...=glance&s=books Just in case you really want to go deep... ubu
