king ubu

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...

You know we all had such problematic childhoods - we're desperately in need of a strong but loving father A figure like Wilhelm Tell, who almost shot his kid... Yup, I guess couw could do that with his two guns!

That's correct. As far as the Herbie Hancock box is concerned: most albums are available in what seems to most ears superior remastering, in the RVG series (as the Monk, but the Herbie box is not that old). I have the Herbie box and will stay with that, however, but just be warned. Same goes for Clifford Brown Complete Blue Note, and Bud Powell Complete Blue Note and Roost.

For one thing, when you do talk about Free-Jazz, or A/G on other threads, you get a bunch of people who always grip about how "That's not jazz, it's just noise!" I, for one, am just damn tired of that act, so I don't even bother to talk about the kind of jazz I mostly listen to on anything but the "Funny Rat" thread. I think it is great that, ever since this discussion started, the Funny Rat thread has been devoted almost exclusively to Coleman Hawkins. Yup, I wanted to drop a note about that here, too! We've discussed traditional, swinging, blues-drenched jazz there, on and off...

Godfather I - of course... sad news! Several films were shown in Zurich a few months ago, on the occasion of his birthday. One of the greats! ubu

[insert obvious response here] back in but only for a minute! gotta conclude some further weapon-deals... ever heard of Oerlikon-Bührle? They delivered to the Iraq, to Iran, certainly to Afghanistan and wherever there was need for guns - we swiss folks have always been extremely peaceful ubu :rsmile:

I'll go explore the Hawk thread in a minute. I think BMG has the Hawk / Ellington disc in stock, and I have a few free discs to redeem....hmmmmnnnn.... Hawk / Ellington has now been ordered, along with Sonny Rollins - Newk's Time, both for free. Have fun! The Ellington/Hawkins is a MAGNIFICIENT album! Check the latin tunes first! Tremendous grooves, and great solos by all (Hawk, Hodges, Brown...) ubu ....Ray Nance. Wasn't sure who's on trumpet, and had no time to look it up back then... now I'm home, work finished, but Organissimo still there, thankfully

As long as you don't send them my way, I don't care... I was just on my way to the Post Office...

You can tell it's Jazzmoose by the look on his face. It's as if he's saying, "enough with the pictures already, my fried chicken is getting cold". gotta run now - stop working for today! Hoooray!!

I took the picture. Don't fool us - you used the automatic release!

Hey and that's not Jazzmoose! That's yourself! Don't tell me you use two IDs on this board! You'd be the reigning no. 1-post-count-talib if you'd combine catesta's and moose's posts! ubu

you're sure you're not on the way to Afghanistan, actually? Wherevery you go, enjoy, relax, and come get us! ubu

As long as you don't send them my way, I don't care...

Sure, and then couw would be our resident-Saddam? (and me just some small number - chemical ubu?)

This stinks! Elvis was born dead.

Elvis stole everything, probably even his pelvis and his voice... Elvis is dead, as Living Colour have helped to make clear.

caught up with the spirit, yes? It's all good-natured, of course! ubu Of course. B) hey pepe, don't let catesta fool you! he's a p.c.t.* ubu *) Post-count-taliban, that means, of course...

Thanks Hans! I shall add that to some order some day. Got to make note! ubu

John, this seems to be one of Hawk's best fifties albums - it features Idrees Sulieman and J.J. Check out the Hawkins thread in the artists section, but first get Ellington/Hawkins on Impulse! ubu

I think you should get Body and Soul, it is THE classic Hawk recording! (By the way, it celebrates its 65th birthday on October 11) Anyone with even the remotest interest in jazz tenor saxophone should have it, it's a milestone. Hans, is this disc good enough to get, even if might go the Chronological Classics way some day?
