What is your Faith???? (or lack thereof)

Jehova's witnesses have given up ringing our bell, and yet I share 38% of their ideas?! And could someone please explain what no. 5 "Bahá'í Faith (78%)" means? Maybe this is an option? Hell, I guess NOT! Help! What would *I* need salvation for? Uh, oh! I guess I am a hopeless case, ubu -
That's an interesting question, and one I did wonder about many times, too! Another thing might be the jam sessions. How did they come to happen? All organized ahead? Or just some cats hanging around in the studio? Maybe ask him about the late Mal Waldron, who seemed to play a quite important role in many of these jam session albums. Ask him about his "house" musicians, such as Waldron, Art Taylor, P.C. etc (well, I know they recorded for what label they could, but there were some appearing more often on Prestige, some more often on Blue Note etc. Sonny Clark, for instance, never made a date for one of the nowadays Fantasy-owned labels, except for that Sonny Rollins one, did he? How came?) And of course, Dan, let me express my heartily congratulations! (Can you tell us already where this interview will be printed? Any chance to read it here in Europe, too?) ubu

Not a problem, brownie! I was just getting confused, because I never saw Sonic Boom here, yet! ubu

As I get it, there are several historians among us. Anyone has opinions to share on Hans Baron's concept of "civic humanism"? Anyone read his "Crisis"? I'm currently working on a little exercise on Leonardo Bruni and in connection with that read Baron's "Crisis" among other things. ubu

Well, it's definitively not from the 50s or 60s, but it COULD be (and ubu LOVE it!): The Mosaic is a great one, too! And musically, there is not that huge a difference. While I'm not very strong on the question asked here, some favorites have been mentioned already: - the Buck Clayton Jam sessions (gotta Mosaic, love it!) - Jazz Reunion (Hawk, Pee Wee, Brookmeyer, Emmett Berry Then Clark Terry might fit the category, too (although maybe he's a little bit too young?), but both of my recommendations are maybe too modern for this thread: - his Candid date is great - his Emarcy debut LP (reissued in the VEE series) Harry Edison "Swinger" & "Mr Swing" - the only leader dates of his I've got, but two very good albums (also in the VEE series). Hawk made many albums that fit the category. Favorites might be the "Hawkins! Eldridge! Hodges! Alive!" and "Hawkins and Eldridge at the Opera House" albums: The Verve catalogue certainly holds dozens of great records to fit in here. All the Hodges and Webster recordings, the Benny Carter stuff, Eldridge etc. Oh, yes, the Hawkins encounters Webster is another perrennial favorite of mine! Two more: ubu

Thanks Tom! I wrote a Mail ten minutes ago, to know for sure, and already got a reply (still the best service in the business ): 330 are left! ubu -
Sonny Red – Red, Blue & Green That's what you get exactly on the disc: (A) May 29, 1961 Sonny Red (as), Cedar Walton (p), George Tucker (B), Jimmy Cobb (d). CD-Track-Number I Like The Likes Of You Duke-Harburg 4.19 2 Bye, Bye Blues Red 4.30 4 Never, Never Land Comden-Green-Styne 6.31 6 Ko-Kee Red 4.12 7 (B) June 25, 1961 Blue Mitchell (t), Sonny Red (as), Barry Harris (p), George Tucker (B), Lex Humphries (d).

Moon River Mancini-Mercer 6.08 1 Super-20 Red 5.32 3 The Mode Red 8.51 5 Blue Sonny Red 8.29 11 The Rhythm Thing Red 5.06 12 Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered Rodgers-Hart 5.41 13 Tracks 1-7 originally issued as The Mode (Jazzland 959) Tracks 8-13 originally issued as Images (Jazzland 974) I like it very much. Then there's an even better (in my opinion, of course) Cliff Jordan twofer, called "Mosaic", which holds a very good Jordan date, coupled with an album Red and Jordan co-led. ubu

Thats one beaten up cover. You must have played that a lot. PDEE, I regret to inform you that this is not a scan of my cover. I have in on CD, but this is a nice and large reproduction of the cover... I've taken it from an incredible site that has been mentioned here somewhere already: here (click "Jazz Record" on the left and let the fun begin...) ubu B)

It sure did work that way (me being only 24, but having a little tiny bit of knowledge on other BN singles holing one tune of similar lenght). Never knew about the car publicity use! ubu

I'm a big fan of this one: ubu

Hey, THAT's the important part! ubu -

deus, as has been said before, the boxes used US-remasterings. I bought some of them, too, and have not come to listen to all of them, either. Generally, it seems that all Fantasy reissues distributed here (Switzerland, in my case), are produced by ZYX, but all - except for the erratic 20bit remasters series - use US-remasterings. You can see that easily, as it says on the back cover of the discs, "Remastering 200X, Kirk Felton (or whoever) (Fantasy Studios, Berkeley)". On the bottom of the back of the CD, it says "Manufactured under License for Distribution by ZYX-Music". Nothing wrong with these! ubu -
Thanks, Claude! Hell, the shop where I picked up the CCCD of Hill and Young for 15 CHF (around 10 Euros or 11$ - they usually go here for 33-36 CHF!! And I'll replace them in time by ordering from the US) - they did NOT have the only normal CD, the Morgan, of course! ubu
-
I would like to grab them YESTERDAY rather than today, but money is a little short these days... Maybe end of the month. You have a complete list of them? Could start a thread in the Reissues section! ubu

Yeah, that Gayle disc is GREAT! The Ornettes are part of the daily bread, of course. Add the Town Hall disc, too! ubu

AOW November 16-22 -SAM RIVERS Fuchsia Swing Song
king ubu replied to Man with the Golden Arm's topic in Album Of The Week
Bringing this one up! It's Rivers time, guys! The man is huge, has a huge discography, yet most of his records are quite difficult to find (at least this side of the water, high up in the swiss alps). I hope I'll find the time to listen to Fuchsia Swing Song somewhen this week and type some of my ideas here. And that's probably my favorite photo of the man: ubu -
Hey, couw! The usual brilliant work! - Actually, just to have some use for this covers - is there any possibility yet to get the BT disc issued up to now? (and with such a cover, I am hard pressed to let a friend of mine do the painful work of compiling a CDr, too, so that I get such a cover... but it would have to be along the lines of the Dan Gould one... ubu

I thought that one was a normal CD? Because it was too long to fit on a cactus s**t? ubu

HELL!! I missed the Brotzmann! Anyone has a spare copy? I only have one Vandermark disc so far: See more here. I like it very much! ubu
-
Are these complete sessions? Or just half ones? I'd love to have the COMPLETE Lucky T Paris dates! (I have all three JiPs and the two Vogues, so far, and the ASiPs are easy to find here). ubu
-
I could pick it up as an Affinity LP. Anyone knows how that edition sounds? If it's not too bad (I'm no audiophile), I might go for it! ubu

found this puppy for some 6 or 7 bucks worth yesterday: I like what I heard till now (only began listening to the disc) ubu
