I have a bit of a problem with this one - but I listened to it only once so far. Vandermark sounded bland, and some other pieces (with Ab Baars, I think) seemed dry and boring. I'll listen to it again. Anybody else cares to share his (or her, he-he) thoughts (I think we all got it at the dawn of the glorious Funny Rat days, when it was annonced OOP, didn't we?)? I had one listen ages ago, felt the same as you and so put it aside for another day. I'll have another listen tonight. Listening to right now: writings... This one is great! I mentioned it some pages ago - it's got the same line up as the GREAT concert D.D. and me saw. David, do you have it already? ubu

A GREAT record! Can't say enough good things about that one! Everybody's at the top of their game. And dig "Struttin' With Some Barbecue" - that version still could teach Wynton some lessons! ubu

I've had the Dizzy/Mogie in my hands a week ago. It's the Chester date (I think one post that has been edited in the meantime included a listing of what was recorded there, it's tracks 14-23 of that now disappeared list, NOT the tracks on the Jazz Unlimited release) + cuts from different dates recorded at one famous NYC club (Vanguard, Birdland, can't remember), plus the final track from some Newport concert (1957? The one on Verve? I don't have that - was that a complete release of this concert, or just a few tracks?) ubu

And who's the third tenor? Sounds good, John! I'll put that disc on my list! What would I give to have heard and seen Edwards! Hell, I was born too late! ubu

He-he, I remember seeing this. A "jazz Chopin" image. Pretty disguasting indeed. Overall, I am not a big fan of Kühn - talented musician (and monster chops), but tends to be too bombastic and, man, does he overplay... Never knew he plays alto - would be interesting to hear. His brother Rudoplh (?) plays straghtforward clarinet, and there is a nice disc (early-mid 90s, I think ) of his where he plays with different partners anbd there is one duo with Ornette, and it is excellent. Where the fuck is new Ornette's CD, btw? His brother's name is Rolf - they just released a new duo CD, see my first post (I think - if you're too lazy to read the whole thread, I don't feel obliged to check - and HELL: what you doing outside of the rat? Did *they* let you out? ubu

This might be of interest: http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=10313 Just bought it yesterday. The photogaphs by Dominique Isserman are awesome! ubu

Great review, P.L.M.! Look at the photo I posted here - even from that photo one can tell him being what you call a caricature of the romantic piano player... no one looks like this from his own will Wonder what a concert with Kühn and Ornette both on alto would be like! Just to add one more to the list of B. Goren: "Triple Entente" with Humair & Jenny-Clark (I mentioned it already) - I have listened to it again, and it's awesome! It seems Humair is the "diva"-kind-of-guy, yet he is one of the great drummers of the present, in my opinion. (btw, "Triple Entente" came out in the late nineties, AMG does not list it). ubu

Hope you'll have such a nice audience too, as had this man who would have been 100 yrs old recently (more here) Happy birthday, and many happy returns! And again thank you very much for providing this space for us ubu

ubu, solo Cecil is my favorite Cecil, so yes, of course I highly recommend these CDs. Indent is beautiful, but I am not sure it is that easy to find (it's on Freedom). If you don't find it, I'll CD-R it for you... one day. Air Above Mountains (on Enja MW) is available for EUR 10 from amazon.de: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000...3523564-6837667 How is East-Berlin? I'm afraid I haven't really listened in any concentrated way to "East-Berlin" - another reason not to buy ANY other disc now... (and those Veejay Mosaics are going OOP and I HAVE to get these, so there won't be no money around anyway). I have never seen "Indent" nor "Silent Tongues", I have seen though that Amazon has the other ("Air...") cheap. I might go for that, but only AFTER the Mosaics (I have to keep telling myself ) thanks, anyway! ubu

Oh no holy shitte!!!! I dropped them a message asking how long they think the two sets are going to be around, and here's their answer: Get it? HOLY CRAP!!

I don't have any of his Steeplechase discs, but the one you picked up was recommended in this thread on Dyani: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...c=8165&hl=dyani ubu

It is somewhat more melodic than other CT solo recordings, but is quite represenatitive nonetheless . Meaning, get other solo Cecil stuff ("Indent", "Air Above the Mountains", "Silent Tongues", etc.)! Meaning: get other CT solo recordings TOO, right? Are the three you listed the ones to look for? I should get some more solo Taylor (have the In East-Berlin, and Willisau discs only). ubu

Fuck, missed this. Drop me a PM, include your address...

Keith Tippett, that is.

Last Exit Mujician "It Ain't Necessarily So" - the Grant Green/Sonny Clark version. Any Fletcher Henderson.

We'll make it! Had the same feelings, and I definitively want them both... Yet it seems they will last some time, no? I think someone posted that they were not actually running low yet, but due to the license expiry, they'd put them on the list. Well, let's cross our fingers! ubu

I like this one, purchased in a HatHut binge I gave me a few months ago.... Lee Konitz - Don Friedman - Attila Zoller: "Thingin" Check Zollar out on this very fine disc, with OP, Jimmy Pratt, and Hans Koller: ubu That's a very good album. One of my favorite discs Yes indeed! I think they really got their own sound. Some cool, some hard bop, and each one of them had a disctinctive sound and style on his instrument. What a petty OP had to die so early! It seems Zoller left Germany shortly after (I stay corrected on this point, if someone knows more)... ubu

Hey, cut that shit! I'm the one and only king ubu here, posting only and exclusively under this handle. Why would I need any aliases (except maybe Ms Garner... )? ubu

It´s on PRAGUE JAZZ (CUBE METIER) Do you have it or did you just google? I will compare the tracklist and look if it's the same stuff I have. It was recorded at "Oltener Jazztage", just in case someone's interested. There are a couple of trio tracks on my MD, I remember. ubu

Two hungarian guitar players, both a bit better known than the others discussed here, but still they do deserve being mentioned: Attila Zoller (1927-1998) He can be heard on the recently reissued Zo-Ko-So, with Hans Koller & Martial Solal (MPS): The other man, Gabor Szabo ((1936-1982). He played with Chico Hamilton (in the band that also included Charles Lloyd), on "Passin' Through", reissued on "Man From Two Worlds". His own "High Contrast" and "The Sorcerer" are available from Verve/Universal: ubu

I haven't heard what EKE has recommended, but I can also recommend one of his earliest recordings called "Swinging Macedonia" (Enja). thanks, this title somehow is stored in some place of my brain dedicated to future jazz acquisitions... ubu
