Thanks, brownie! And good news that there is even more to come! ubu

I have mailed them, just before my post, above, and have not heard anything, either!

Didn't you know that for a certain period he was actually nicknamed Billy "Headbanger" Bang? ubu

it was actually a moog last night, not a b3. Now anyone was there? Share some!

We'll see - maybe an invitation for dinner (with red wine, of course), gets in the way of Bunuel... but that film is shown several times, I won't miss it!

Oh, HELLYEAH! Just arrived at "Body & Soul" - wow! This is magisterial music! Do a google search for "Frank Lowe" and you'll find a nice Fireside chat by Fred Jung (on AAJ). ubu

Uh, anyone thought I like Susie Ibarra? Listening now to Frank Lowe - first time (except for a Don Cherry disc he's on, I never heard him): A great one, in my opinion! Pretty easy-going, pretty mainstream-ish, but very very good, and beautiful sound of the tenor, as well as of the whole trio. ubu

Allow for some more listens, I only spun it as background music to do some reorganizing of books, cds etc... I liked what I heard, though. What I can say, is, as I mentioned above, it's pretty abstract - must be Courvoisier, as the mood of the disc sometimes reminds me of the Courvoisier/Feldman/Friedlander "Abaton" set (on ECM). And have I already mentioned what a beautiful woman Susie Ibarra is? By the way, a nice mate posting here, too, sent me a burn of Matt Shipp's Multiplicator Table, and she's friggin' great! I consider her one of the best drummers in that kind of music, lately. ubu

May I suggest you start with an ukulele, it's always good to start small... ubu

Never heard of the In Situ label until today. Which led me to check the Lord discography and this is what I found under Francois Tusques: Free Jazz: Bernard Vitet, tp, Francois Jeanneay, sop, fl, Michel Portal, b-cl, Barney Wilen, ts, Francois Tusques, p, Bernard Guerin, b, Charles Saudrais, d, perc. Comedie des Champs-Elysees, Paris, October 26, 1965 Description automatique d'un paysage desole (I) La Tour Saint-Jacques Description automatique d'un paysage desole (II) Souvenir de l'Oiseau Souvenir de l'oiseau (II) Souvenir de l'oiseau (III) All tunes on Adda/In Situ (F) 590039 (CD) titled ''1965 Francois Tusques - Free Jazz'', tunes 2, 3 and 4 on Mouloudji (F) EM13507. Le Nouveau Jazz: Barney Wilen, ts, Francois Tusques, p, Beb Guerin, Jean-Francois Jenny-Clark, b, Aldo Romano, dr Paris, January 16, 1967 Coda (p solo) Sombre (p and b only) same, pers. Paris, February 15, 1967 Dialogue 1 Cantique du Diable Les Sorciers Dialogue 2 Both sessions on Mouloudji(F) EM13507. Couple of things: Mouloudji was a short-lived (and now extremely rare) label founded by the late singer Marcel Mouloudji. Comedie des Champs-Elysees is a theater that is next door to the Theatre des Champs-Elysees concert hall. I do not have the Mouloudji LP and never heard of the In Situ release but I am pretty sure I attended the Comedie des Champs-Elysees concert and may even have photos of the event somewhere! Please post these photos if you find them, please! couw, thanks for the In Situ link, never heard of that label, either, and that site it's on seems to have enough stuff to order a truckload (no, I WON'T do it now, I WON'T do it, definitely NOT, NO I have NOT enough money, NO I WON'T order anything now... (hope it works )) ubu

Well, I guess it actually means:

What would you call the music of Chadbourne? Avant-bluegrass-jazz-folk? I like it, but I guess I need a break after the first one. His jazz covers (Monk's Mood, Tenor Madness etc) are great! I like the folksy feel, even more as you know there is something more beneath or behind it, hidden in the background... ubu

"Songs"

The three ladies are through now, and I'll continue with two more Intakt discs I took with me from the radio station: "Strings" and "Songs" by Euguene Chadbourne, both recorded on the same two dates. Never heard him, and thus I thought I'd take the two discs with me. Cover below ("Strings") (sorry, too lazy to look for larger ones...)

Looking forward, thanks! ubu

Listening to Sylvie Courvoisier/Joelle Leandre/Susie Ibarra: Passaggio (Intakt 076). Pretty fine stuff! Pretty much on the abstract side. Will need a few listens to get acquainted... The liner notes in english: A nice photo from the booklet: And below the cover

Nate, I found the Lüscher/Su duo disc "Smada" (Altrisuoni) in the library! I'll report here when I listened to it! ubu

There's always the easy solution: forget both, go for red wine, instead... ubu B)

Oh, yes! Forgot about those two!

Before you spend the money on that one, be aware that the Deluxe editions that came out after the box (Ballads, Coltrane, Love Supreme) have additional material that's not in the box. Also, you won't get the few live items (half of the At Birdland album, the Newport '63 album, and that track that is available on Quartet Plays..Chim Chim Cheeree etc). Nevertheless, that set is one of my favourites. A few others, that I consider to be non-Mosaics: all of the great Miles Davis boxes, of course! Love each and every of them! ubu

That's some goodies! All high on my list, too! Then add: Coltrane, Heavyweight Champion AEC Cecil Taylor, 2 Ts for A Lovely T Monk, Riverside Bill Evans, Riverside Sonny Rollins, Prestige & RCA Mingus, Atlantic Ornette, Atlantic ... Don't think I rate the Mosaics much higher as the others, in general. However, it's the only company with such a big number of generally great sets! ubu

Glad to see you came to your senses, King Ubu! That Jass CD indeed had a couple of items which were not in the Prez Box. No need for you to come here on your knees. There must be better ways to travel to the City of Light! And when you come, a glass of Cognac - one of Prez's prefered drinks - will be shared between the two of us to honor our beloved President! The only President worthy of our unanimous votes. Prosit I won't forget about the Cognac! Well, on Sunday (August 1), Switzerland celebrates national day... I'll may see "Le charme dicret de la bourgeoisie" to celebrate, or I may listen to Prez, endlessly... ubu -_-

Well, I guess the royal poster will wear sackcloth and ashes for some time, and he might even go to Paris on his knees to apologize to brownie... To make it short, I checked not with the disc, but with my Lester data stuff, and it seems there's no additional material on the Storyville disc, nothing that's not part of that Japanese set. (I think I mixed it up with an -unrelated- Jass disc, "Prez Conferences", which seems to include some items not on the Japanese set, but don't nail me on that now, please!) ubu
