couw, thanks for the tip, but I think I'm gonna keep it. The sound seems to be very good, and I'm not in need of every track of the CJB. With the Mosaic (which I'll get some day), I'll be happy... ubu

Found today: Tony Fruscella & Brew Moore: Fru'n Brew - a 1953 live date, Spotlite SPJ151 Tenors West: Jimmy Giuffre with the Marty Paich Octet (GNP Crescendo GNPS 9040) Sal Salvador featuring Eddie Costa: Tribute to the Greats (originally on Bethlehem - BCP-74 -, mine's the Fresh Sound reissue. ubu

Jim's list is pretty impressive! Some very good albums there! The Jazztet plays John Lewis is great, Naima is (as has been said), and several others I like a lot, such as: Cliff Jordan, Mosaic; the Sonny Red twofer, all that Blakey stuff (dig the Walton solo on the opening track of Free for All!), the Eddie Harris Atlantic albums (four of them were collected in a very nice 2CD package by 32jazz)... The man was all over the place! He provides some of the highlights of Morgan's Rajah, in my opinion. ubu

Shit! I knew it! Thanks, Claude! I'm quite sure that when I ordered it, it said 2CDs. Now it says nothing anymore on the amazon.de site. Hell! And they took sooooo long to send me that crap! And of course I already opened it Guess I gotta take it now... And what about Sims? Is he there or not? I had no time to listen yet. ubu

I just got the Paris one from amazon Germany. It's a one CD SACD thing, from Delta Music. Personnel is Ferrara, Candoli, Travis, Brookmeyer, Dennis, Ralph, Quill, Donoval, Allen, Mulligan, Clark, Lewis. Is that correct? The liners mention Zoot Sims being there, too! The tracks are: YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME 4.24 BLACK NIGHTGOWN 3.56 BODY & SOUL 5:36 BWEEBIDA BOBBIDA 9:13 BARBARA'S THEME 5.41 APPLE CORE 4:59 COME RAIN OR COME SHINE 4:56 I'M GONNA GO FISHIN' 7:18 MOTEN SWING 13.07 OUT OF THIS WORLD 4:09 Is this only half of the music? Can someone who has the 2CD edition please compare? thanks, ubu

To all those Hadi fans: the Avenue Jazz reissue of the Bethlehem "Modern Jazz Symposium..." album has some real good bonus tracks: an alternate of Slippers, and Bounce (Mingus), and Gillespie's Woody'n You. Hadi's BAAD on these tracks! Check it out as long as that disc's still around (it's OOP, I think, but it seems to be still around) ubu

Thanks for this information, Jim! Looks interesting (as I assumed)! Though I never saw the box here, neither new nor used... but luck may fall on me some day... ubu

Yup, to these ears, too! ubu

Not to discourage, but delivery of "1-2 Wochen" is often a bad sign with Amazon Germany. Worth a try, though, for sure! ubu

Thanks for this tip, Rooster! I'll look for it! ubu

crying robot, at least (well, I don't need to cry, mine's been around me for some time...) btw, this constant avatar-merry-go-round gets me quite confused... that ain't mikeweil having posted this... ubu

I never had anything to do with Kevin, personally, but I always thoroughly enjoyed his comments, his insights, his opinions. I would sure welcome him back here! (and we had enough Connoisseur discussion, nevertheless, didn't we? Although I sure miss that one thread in particular, too! But as another worthy member has said so well: Let it go!) ubu

I guess they would not care if we did all the work, the main problem is - if we were producing all these discs of italian, french, german, austrian, swiss, polish, czechoslovak, finnish, danish or whatever jazz, they would never identify a single tune... ubu This is a bad thing? Think of what an education service you'd be providing! Hey, you guys want more European jazz discussion around here? Enlighten us!! (Man, am I greedy for new tunes, or what? ) Moose, I've signed up for BT #17, and as it's clear I will escape the obvious I might really go that way, and include almost all unknown swiss stuff - unless people don't want me to... I look at it as a chance to spread some real good music, also dig in my vaults of broadcast recordings, throwing in some never commercially available stuff, live recordings etc. I just have not made up my mind yet if it's going to be two or three discs Edit: Moose and all others interested: I will not do this just to make sure no one recognizes any tune, but rather, to let you hear some good stuff, mainstream to totally abstract, and to hear what connections you make, what you think about the music, and how you like it. There's a long time, however, till my BT arrives... ubu

Thanks for sharing this WINGY! No time to read the whole thing here at work, but this really wets my appetite for getting the disc. Couw could make an alternative cover for us, so we can have the REAL DEAL! ubu

Hey, quite a party going on there in your post, deus! You got them from zweitausendeins? If I knew they'd have them, I could have saved half of the money I spent on them (some 40 bucks, or even more...) ubu

Well, I guess he might not be lesser known your side of the water, but here he sure is: Charles Ives. I cannot remember having ever seen any orchestra perform any Ives symphony here... On the other hand, Honegger (while not being played either) is quite well-known here, being from Switzerland. ubu

Couw, your new avatar is GREAT! With the "right now!" one, all that's missing now is that nice old-fashioned "ding" when you end the line! ubu

That's one of those in the Triologue 2CD set, yes? ubu

Given that, I think I'll try hanging out here for a while, if that okay with you good folks... Yes, something of an AAJ refugee here. A few of you guys may know me, and to those who don't yet - hey now! Welcome here, gdogus! ubu

That's MY disc now... And I can assure you, the package was thin and economical, yet everything arrived in perfect shape! John, looking forward to your BT very much! And I hope you can work out getting a new grant! ubu

I guess it's this floaty, washes thing that I like about it! It IS very quiet music, and that's for the reason why Turner fits in perfectly well. I guess you gotta love Warne Marsh and that kind of "destached" playing style to like this album (and Turner, in general). ubu

Thanks Chuck! Not having had any real to real personal conversation in english for the last three or four year, I try my best (Uh, it's "king ubu" nevertheless -_- ) ubu

Well, if EKE takes 15, let 16 be for some american, and let me try to fix all my things up for 17, alright? king ubu for #17! You'll get a truckload of great unknown stuff from switzerland, among other things... (well, don't be afraid, there's some guys here doing GREAT mainstream/postbop stuff that you might never recognise as being european musicians! Check out my Chris Wiesendanger recommendation in the recs forum.) ubu

I really can't vote on this one! Booker is one of my favorite tenor players of any era, yet Handy, and also Shafi Hadi are great. Then, Clifford Jordan is great on the '64 tour! I have none of the Bobby Jones records with Mingus, but his trio record on Enja with George Mraz and the GREAT Freddie Waits is BAAAD! Adams, I don't like him too much, well, I like him, but he's no match for the other four, in my opinion. McLean I would not really consider a Mingus alumni. He turns in some good work on Pithecantropus (as does JR Monterose, by the way), and on Blues & Roots, though. While typing this, I decide I can vote: and it's gotta be Hadi for me, too! I love him on Tijuana, East Coasting, some of the Columbia stuff... (by the way, Clarence/Gene Shaw would be my favorite Mingus trumpet player! - the year of 57 was a great one for Mingus!). ubu

Very well put Conn! I had some problems in the beginning here, too! But it's really full of very nice people around here, so that's not a great issue! Just needs some time. The reason I took some time is that I was quite new to the BNBB when it went down, far from being online daily, then, rather more of a lurker. Then here, everybody seemed to know each other, so I needed some time to feel at home here (but I really do feel at home, now!) Keep it comin' ubu
