Damn. How many days was it, from the time you placed your order with Mosaic, till you received the goods? What do you think of the sound quality of the Vee Jay sets? Took pretty long, but if those fellas at the swiss border wouldn't have been suspicious, I'd have gotten the package a week ago. No time to listen so far. Start tomorrow! ubu

Randy Weston, Blue Moses definitively not his best, but this one would deserve a CD appearance! ubu (edited to add the title, as the jpg's unreadable)

finally got mine: Shorter/Morgan: #1853 Chambers/Kelly: #1874 that's the cool part of it... ... now the less cool: Shipping (Surface): $18 Handling Fee Swiss Postal Services: $15 Custom Tax: $14 Sucks! Had to fax the customs a copy of the yellow invoice, before they finally sent the box my way! First time this has happened with a Mosaic package. ubu

Hey you gotta make friends if you want to have more than one PM a day Me got two Mosaics today, which is enough... (yup, I'm told to get a life. but then...) ubu

Leffe is my favourite beer, too! Here's some: ubu

Happy Birthday! ubu

JohnS and Lazaro were talking about a different Savoy Shepp/Dixon. It was a quartet date form late '62 with Don Moore/Reggie Workman - bass and Paul Cohen/Howard McRae - drums. The Workman/McRae tandem play on one of the four tracks. Wonderful date never on cd 'cause Dixon owns the masters. I stand corrected. Sounds like something that I'd love to hear! But the other one is not bad, either. ubu

let them sing it

sounds good! Hope I'll be home then to record it!

How would you compare it to the one I mentioned above? ubu

Hey, sidewinder, I know you and Bev and a few others start some threads on cool UK-reissues, but how would it be to have one regularly updated? I always try to remember some UK stuff that is recommended, but then I'm often too lazy to search for the various and usually rather short threads, or I simply can't remember the musicians anymore... Would you do a UK jazz reissues thread? I guess I would not be the only one interested! ubu

and let me also add my for the Russeell/Hawkins and the Bailey! ubu

how about from source Candid records thanks - I forgot about their site again... ubu

my mom always made me stop playing it. now you, my dear friend, tend to be over the top from time to time, too (not that I'm implying that might right now be the case, no, no, not at all, sir! ) ubu

Have a good one, Barak! And many happy returns! ubu

Max Roach, Freedom Now Suite The Terry, yes! And all the Minguses, check "Mingus presents Mingus" first! And if you "get" that relatively free stuff, try some of the Cecil Taylor, maybe "The World of", and "New York City R'n'B" first (Buell Neidlinger is co-billed on that one). Clunky, I never managed to get hold of the Thompson disc - you know some place that does not only list it, but indeed has it? ubu

Had a listen to this one onver the weekend - quite good it is, I think, but I have to listen more. Some groovy stuff, some pretty tame, but then Anderson's got a beautiful sound. ubu

Hey, Chaney, the rat's on page 56, right? Me too, finally! Long way to go until we reach page 100 (again)... ubu B)

Might be better that way, no? Your insight might have made the world an even badder place than it is anyway

Yes, indeed! I already started writing dumb emails because I was so bored at work ubu

Uh, 10 Euro for a CD with NO information - that's DIRRRRT cheap, isn't it??? Crooks! And of course everbody will buy the 18 Euro deluxe version (with no detailed infor available ) ubu

Sam Rivers - Streams, Live at Montreux

wow! this is cool - I ask him anything when I meet him on sunday... seriously: I myself have no money to travel right now, and if I had, I ought to do something with my girlfriend, first of all... sad student's life

it is, you saw through my photoshop mock up. here's the original a brewery? catesta wanted us to go there. dunno. That brings back memories. Remember when ubu accidentally fired a round off and it pierced one of the vats? There was Hefeweizen everywhere! you guys, I do declare, are from now on "drs. h.c. lol", decreed in Poland, January 17th, 1921. ubu B)

You know, Bührle is good, but it's not as hart as Kruppstahl...
