I think all the Norvo/Farlow/Mingus sides are on this one: (the rest is the Norvo date with Parker, I think) ubu

You know, rainy weather's the best to stay in bed all day... ubu

That page I linked above is pretty nice: http://www.guylj.fsnet.co.uk/JazzGuitarist...vador/index.htm There's more on other guitar players there, too. Adrian, I have not heard "Dynasty". I think it's not OOP yet. Gourley makes a good appearance on Eddie Louiss' Jazz in Paris disc: Kenny Clarke's on this one, too. Don't miss it! ubu

Adrian, Salvador was quite a discovery for me when I picked up that 10"-series CD. I hesitated for a long time, as I did not know him before. Then, a few months ago, I found his "A Tribute To The Greats" on vinyl (courtesy of our good friends Freshsound - originally on Bethlehem). Another very nice recording. It's with Eddie Costa, Frank Dallas and Ronnie Free, tunes: Artistry in Rhythm Taps Miller Prelude to a Kiss Walking Shoes Solos for Guitar Four Brothers In your own sweet way Ruby My Dear Manteca Cool Eyes Yardbird Suite Rec. Summer 57, reissued in Japan 1999: TOCJ-62023 (Japan,1999) (http://www.guylj.fsnet.co.uk/JazzGuitarist...totheGreats.htm) ubu

Maybe I should have saved those left-over dreams funny, but here's that rainy day! Here's that rainy day they told me about and I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way! Where is that worn-out wish that I threw aside, after it brought my lover near? Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day funny, that rainy day is here! Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day funny . . . that rainy day is here!

Chiming in late. What about Jimmy Gourley? I have several fifties recordings from France with him playing. Seems he was sort of the Raney-style-ambassador for some very fine players in Europe, back then. The one album I have of him is a very nice one, quartet setting with Barney Wilen, no piano: Among said young french guitar players, René Thomas (belgian, I think, actually) stands out. There are two CDs of his in the recent Jazz in Paris series: And then there's this one with J.R. Monterose, a great album, in my opinion: Another fine guitar player was Sacha Distel. As a bonus release to the Jazz in Paris series, "Jazz guitarist", a very good 2CD set, has been released last year: My favorite Distel, however, is on this album, co-led with John Lewis, and featuring Barney Wilen in top form: (Reissued by Koch, OOP now, as far as I know). ubu

Found "Coral Keys", that Walter Bishop Jr. disc with Harold Vic (what's the deal about this spelling? Did he change it? Is that a strange typo?) and Woody Shaw. Pretty cool album! ubu

Joe, sorry for being late! Nevertheless: H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y ! ! ! Hope you had a cool party with those catesta cuties... ubu

Happy Birthday! ubu

jg - I see this one's still around. I'll go for it, thanks! ubu

Hi Gokhan, and welcome to the funny rat! Thanks for your comment on AALY! I sure dig Haker-Flaten (have two of The Thing's discs on Crazy Wisdom), now Janson does interest me after reading your post! I shall look if that disc is still around. ubu

Don't you think this question deserves an own thread? nah, not sure. waddayouthink? shall I start a poll about it? Yes! crazy hoot... Why does John tend to call Austrians (supposing Rockefeller is) and Swiss (me) "crazy hoots"? ubu

Clifford - you're right, of course, my disc has these same two alternates, but I was not aware of that when I posted (at work) - which also means I was not bothered. I love the disc, however! Is any of the Blue Note's Ogun stuff on CD? ubu

Those on Steeplechase where the ones with Tete, right? I heard one of the (two?) LPs long time ago. I can't remember how I thought it was, though, but it did certainly not blow me away. ubu

one beer please! Thanks! You got it! I just have to find a way to buy you that beer. Once you figured it out, do you buy me a beer, too? ubu

I saw him some time ago, two years, maybe. With Solal and Orsted-Pedersen. He seemed tired. Played out. Pretty sad, actually. The other relatively recent thing I heard of him is as a guest (along with Frank Wess who at least then still had his thing together) with Gene Harris. It was a live broadcast I heard over the radio and the commentators said he could barely stand... (that was summer 1999). ubu

May this humble king sign up, too? Will send you a PM! ubu

Now shouldn't America honour God, too? Oh, I forgot, they start with a prayer each day in the White House... Washington is structured like a christian cross, you know? All for you, deus! ubu

Didn't the Label M include some bonus track(s)? (I have the European digipack reissue) ubu

And now let's consider the darn Cactus CDs "carelessly" - they obviously don't care about their customers in europe, anymore. Or they hope their customers are just plain stupid... It's been over one and a half years that I picked up some new BNs on or shortly after their release date - consider that frustrating! No problem at all in getting that stuff on CDR, I'm afraid! If they were NOT copy protected, I'd NOT, NEVER get them on CDR, but as things are now... ubu

I have that CD, but it seems in another edition, as mine does have no alternates. Love the music, though! That Ellington tune with the Latin beat! Wow! On what label is your CD? Mine's on Proper, I picked it up for almost nothing, in some sale. It has got a nice liner essai with some photos, too, telling the story of the Blue Notes exile etc. ubu

Ahem, one beer, I meant, of course -_- Yet to be outrageously serious - in such nice company I'm afraid one would be faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from enough (enough would be about as many as there are "a"s in faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar) (btw: is she burping when that short film is cut? ) ubu

Ahem, one beer, I meant, of course -_-

Is this Nora Jones? If so, I want one, too! ubu
