You got it! And we also have nice ministers wisely leading our Nation's fate: (where's that puking smiley if I need it?) ubu

Gary, wish you a good one, and many happy returns! Flurin

Makes sense indeed! Yes, and the cuckoo clocks are as german as were the guys who started the whole dada thing (Ball, Arp, Huelsenbeck, to name a few)... And as you know it's not Switzerland where clocks are late, but it's Germany (look at the Deutsche Bahn, for instance, or at the Schröder guy's plans for reforms...) ubu

Both Raney's are available on Amazon France (I just got them from there): http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/search-ha...9158293-1136262 Wilen's still there, too: http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000...9158293-1136262 A few others might still be aroun on Amazon France, but you better grab them now! ubu Well, the Raney link won't work. Do a search for "Raney Paris" or "Raney Visits Paris" and you'll be there. ubu

Ubu, it's (almost) all there. http://www.shef.ac.uk/misc/rec/ps/efi/mtaylors.html Have the whole of Akisakila on vinyl but you can trace what is not on that vol. 2 you got on that site. Thanks, brownie! Somehow I keep forgetting that site! And now you mention it, there's even a second CT discography online, somewhere... lazy me -_- Listened to this one while having dinner (obviously without Ms. ubu ): And yes, for me it clearly is Will have to listen some more, but I like it a lot! Now half way through: Some beautiful stuff on it! That Tribute to Lester is really moving! ubu

So the best we can hope for is a Legacy-like programme? That would be far better than anything that BMG/RCA/Bluebird has on offer at the moment!

There's a difference? Not sure. They at least have those digipacks, and some new ones from time to time (well, only if you like Dave Douglas, I guess). Bluebird = RCA = BMG AFAIK Yep, I would say so, too. And I'm not very fond of the Mohns... they tend to mess things up. What did they do in WWII, by the way?

I hope we'll see something like the series I put the list together of, but I guess we won't... BMG are maybe the most moronic among the big ones, as far as marketing and reissuing jazz goes... well, except for Bluebird! ubu

indeed!

Listening to the disc right now! Wow! Will have to listen a few more times, for sure, and soon, too! Love what I heard so far. Thanks, everybody! Btw: shipping is incredibly fast! Ordered it a day after I made my last post above, and got it today, already! ubu

Me again B) Just picked up used copies of CT's Akisakila Vol. 2 and One Too Many Salty Swift... for less than 15$! Nice find, I think! Can someone help me with the contents of Akisakila 1? I guess it's OOP, right? Or at least pretty hard to find. ubu

Like it a lot! Had a soft spot for it since I first got it. And the tambourine man doesn't get in the way at all. Isnt't he the one also on Ike Quebecs Soul Samba? ubu

happy birthday

The Capitol trios is a good one. I don't know the RCA one, though. The real meat though, must be the early RCA trios/quartet (but I'm sure you have them, yes? Nice 3CD set, out for quite some time) ubu

Thanks for sharing!

I gladly accept your offer anyway. Bates Motel is laughable. This is some scary shit: Well of course! All the more if you weren't offended! You may even become Herzog of Transilvania, if that is preferred... And that scary shit is where you live? ubu (scared to death )

And that dealer didn't have a second one? A true bargain! Cheers! ubu

Wow! Care to share a bit? I've just visited a Schwitters and an Arp/Schwitters exhibition in Basle! Schwitters was a giant! Right up there with Duchamp - well, almost... Tony, I'm not sure about any dates, being at work. I'd have to check with my Dada-books. The best reference, if you read German, is still Hugo Ball's diary "Flucht aus der Zeit". ubu

I havent seen a line up just yet all in Jazzwise this month it has the dates & the following - 'He will appear on tour in November with a trio & a specially recruited big band players such as Jason Yarde & Tony Kofi ' Sounds interesting! Hope he'll make it my way, too!

Actually, no one was really faster than me, but that has become quite a long and lame story by now... (this just to correct my original post) Don't know the Schiano either, but it sounds very very good! ubu

Hugo Ball Eroeffnungs-Manifest, 1. Dada-Abend Zuerich, 14. Juli 1916 Dada ist eine neue Kunstrichtung. Das kann man daran erkennen, dass bisher niemand etwas davon wusste und morgen ganz Zuerich davon reden wird. Dada stammt aus dem Lexikon. Es ist furchtbar einfach. Im Franzoesischen bedeutets Steckenpferd. Im Deutschen: Addio, steigt mir bitte den Ruecken runter, auf Wiedersehen ein ander Mal! Im Rumaenischen: 'Ja wahrhaftig, Sie haben Recht, so ist es. Jawohl, wirklich. Machen wir'. Und so weiter. Ein internationales Wort. Nur ein Wort und das Wort als Bewegung. Es ist einfach furchtbar. Wenn man eine Kunstrichtung daraus macht, muss das bedeuten, man will Komplikationen wegnehmen. Dada Psychologie, Dada Literatur, Dada Bourgeoisie und ihr, verehrteste Dichter, die ihr immer mit Worten, nie aber das Wort selber gedichtet habt. Dada Weltkrieg und kein Ende, Dada Revolution und kein Anfang. Dada ihr Freunde und Auchdichter, allerwerteste Evangelisten. Dada Tzara, Dada Huelsenbeck, Dada m'dada, Dada mhm' dada, Dada Hue, Dada Tza. Wie erlangt man die ewige Seligkeit? Indem man Dada sagt. Wie wird man beruehmt? Indem man Dada sagt. Mit edlem Gestus und mit feinem Anstand. Bis zum Irrsinn, bis zur Bewusstlosigkeit. Wie kann man alles Aalige und Journalige, alles Nette und Adrette, alles Vermoralisierte, Vertierte, Gezierte abtun? Indem man Dada sagt. Dada ist die Weltseele, Dada ist der Clou, Dada ist die beste Lilienmilchseife der Welt. Dada Herr Rubiner, Dada Herr Korrodi, Dada Herr Anastasius Lilienstein. Das heisst auf Deutsch: die Gastfreundschaft der Schweiz ist ueber alles zu schaetzen, und im Aesthetischen kommt's auf die Norm an. Ich lese Verse, die nichts weniger vorhaben als: auf die Sprache zu verzichten. Dada Johann Fuchsgang Goethe. Dada Stendhal. Dada Buddha, Dalai Lama, Dada m'dada, Dada m'dada, Dada mhm' dada. Auf die Verbindung kommt es an, und dass sie vorher ein bisschen unterbrochen wird. Ich will keine Worte, die andere erfunden haben. Alle Worte haben andere erfunden. Ich will meinen eigenen Unfug, und Vokale und Konsonanten dazu, die ihm entsprechen. Wenn eine Schwingung sieben Ellen lang ist, will ich fueglich Worte dazu, die sieben Ellen lang sind. Die Worte des Herrn Schulze haben nur zwei ein halb Zentimeter. Da kann man nun so recht sehen, wie die artikulierte Sprache entsteht. Ich lasse die Laute ganz einfach fallen. Worte tauchen auf, Schultern von Worten; Beine, Arme, Haende von Worten. Ay, oi, u. Man soll nicht zuviel Worte aufkommen lasen. Ein Vers ist die Gelegenheit, moeglichst ohne Worte und ohne die Sprache auszukommen. Diese vermaledeite Sprache, an der Schmutz klebt wie von Maklerhaenden, die die Muenzen abgegriffen haben. Das Wort will ich haben, wo es aufhoert und wo es anfaengt. Jede Sache hat ihr Wort; da ist das Wort selber zur Sache geworden. Warum kann der Baum nicht Pluplusch heissen, und Pluplubasch, wenn es geregnet hat? Und warum muss er ueberhaupt etwas heissen? Muessen wir denn ueberall unseren Mund dran haengen? Das Wort, das Wort, das Weh gerade an diesem Ort, das Wort, meine Herren, ist eine oeffentliche Angelegenheit ersten Ranges. So July 14 is your birthday, Tony? Quatorze juillet, not a bad day... but that's rather Robbespierre than Voltraire

Here's AMG on the Jones/Lewis: Based on the one of their duo albums I have ("Evening with two Grand Pianos"), I'd easily pick it, as I admire Lewis and love Jones... they make a great team! ubu
