Between 1995 and 1998, Switzerland has introduced new banknotes. While the artists chosen are not actually Hendrix or somthing, they all lived and worked and became more or less famous in the twentieth century. They have the following guys (and one doll, even!) on them: 10: Le Corbusier (architect, guilty of crimes against humanity, although he built *some* nice houses...) 20: Arthur Honegger (classical composer) 50: Sophie Täuber-Arp (artists, part of early 20c avant-garde - dada movement in Zurich) 100: Giacometti (great GREAT painter and sculptor - if you happen to be in Zurich, go to the Kunsthaus and check out the Giacometti rooms!) 200: Charles Ferdinand Ramuz (inventor of the "great peasant-style", great author of the first half of the 20th century) 1000: Jacob Burckhardt (historian, famous mostly for his work on the italian renaissance) you can see them and read a little more here: http://www.snb.ch/d/banknoten/noten.html While I will certainly be glad when the time arrives when Switzerland will again become a part of Europe, I will certainly also miss the current banknotes! ubu

Late, too, as I am so often... Thanks very very much, Jim, and Use3D for this cool site! I really feel at home here - and this is the very first time I feel at home somewhere in virtual reality. Keep going strong! ubu

I would like to participate, too. I was rather hesitant, because I don't have the possibility to burn CDrs myself, and won't be able to buy equipment in the coming months... but reading the above comments, and understanding that others do participate without being able to make burns either, I'd like to humbly get part of the Blindfold No. 4. ubu

brownie, do you know if the Rollins has anything not on the 6CD RCA box? I love that period of Sonny! ubu

There were many Sony France reissues. Some can still be found here, however, the remastering is usually not good enough anymore for current standards. All Monk albums were available in that series, except (I never saw this, at least) the one with Oliver Nelson. The late Miles (post 1981) and also some earlier albums of his were reissued in France. The series, by the way, was conceived and produced by Henri Renaud. And I don't know if this series is still around, but I have a digipack reissue (with all the additional material and good remastering) of the Jim Hall album feat. Baker and Desmond, and another 2CD digipack of Herbie Hancock's "VSOP" live album (feat. the quintet with Shorter/Hubbard/Carter/Williams, the sextet in a special reunion and the current Hancock group with Wah Wah Watson and others). I think these are european productions, too. ubu

I have the Stitt plays Bird in its Atlantic reincarnation. A marvellous disc! I love the combination of Hall, Lewis and Richard Davis. And Kay fits in well, too (often for my likings he seems to restrained, but here he sounds good to me). Mike: what was the concert order of "Swiss Movement"? That's one of my favorite groove CDs! And related to the Swiss Movement thing: anyone knows (hell yeah, I wish Atlantic/Warner/whatever had a clear reissue policy!) what else has come out as "Souvenir de Montreux"? The only other disc I have is the Kirk ("I, eye, aye"). ubu

I picked this one up yesterday, new & sealed and even for a relatively good price. It's a very nice date! Always wondered about it since that discussion about Fruscella and *similar* trumpet players took place here! ubu

I knew about the Migiani mistake. But, brownie, it seems to me the personnel listing on the Klook disc is not really consistent, either. You happen to have the correct listings per track? I don't have it at hand, but as I remember, there are tracks were more horns than listed are actually playing. ubu

Money's a little short, but if you would put the Port of Harlem aside for me and be patient... ... then I would be very interested! ubu

Hell! I pay some 10 to 11 $ for 4 Mach3 blades here! So it's not only CDs on which they cheat us! ubu

and damn, I did miss the beginning, and could not receive SWR2 properly... Hope a colleague of mine did record it! Otherwise I might humbly ask... ubu

pre-what? whaddahellareyoutalkinabout!?!? ********** I do like Blue Mitchell, I have his Mosaic, and his work with Horace Silver is very fine, too. It's just that generally I am no fan of compilations. The only ballad comp I have is the Ike Quebec one, which includes some tracks from his 45 sessions (I don't have that one). ubu

I was lucky up to now, too. Maybe 25 orders from Mosaic/Trueblue (and countless orders from B&N, Amazon, CDConnection, CDUniverse, Djangos etc). Once Mosaic forgot to send out a big order (some 50 CDs or so), I called them after two months (I always have the Mosaic/Trueblue stuff sent by slow and a little cheaper devices...), they apologized, sent the stuff via air mail and not one CD case was alright when the package arrived - all broken almost into pieces... That really sucked! ubu

Will check them out, Lon, thanks. I have some of the electric Atlantic stuff (The Electrifying Rhino twofer, Silver Cycles) and like the stuff quite a lot. ubu

I have not yet picked it up, but I certainly will! Hope you like it! There are several groovy and beautiful Swallow tunes on it. I love his compositions. They're often simple, humorous, and just a tiny little bit beyond the usual. Then add his warm dry sound, some sophisticated beats and Potter as the cream... JohnS, you know the other two Swallow albums with Potter? They're really good! ubu

You mean this one, Chuck? looks good! ubu

Thanks, I'll look for them! Collectables has some stuff not on Blue Moon. Which of these later Collectables (almost everything originally on Atlantic) are recommended? Excursions (2CD) (1966-73) The Lost Album + The Better Half (1962/63) Plug Me In / High Voltage (1968, 1969) In the UK / Is It In (1974, 1975) I Need Some Money (1974) / David Newman Bigger Better (1969) Live At Newport / Instant Death (1971, 1972) Bad Luck Is All I Have / How Can You Live Like That? (1975, 1976) (2CD) Free Speech / That’s Why You Are Overweight (1969, 1976) The Versatile E.H. / E.H. Sings The Blues (2CD) Cool Sax, Warm Heart / Cool Sax From Hollywood To Broadway (Columbia, 1964) thanks, ubu

Lon, what's the best way to get the Veejay stuff? I've heard some of it but don't have anything. Would you rather get the Bluemoon or the Collectables? ubu

Hell, it's not even a whole album! And the Rahsaan 10CD box included only one track from that live (Newport? can't remember) concert (and the others are listed in the discography included in the booklet... that's what I call tease!). I listened to Domino recently, having bought the VME after realizing not everything from the Hancock date was in the box. Like the Hill session very much! ubu

Claude, Potter plays with Swallow for some time now. He can be heard on two other XWATT/ECM CDs, both of which also feature Nussbaum and add guitar and trumpet. They're called "Deconstructed" and "Always Pack Your Uniform on Top". The latter was also recorded live, and is, in my opinion the better one. It features fewer but longer tracks. However it's also the first one I have picked up and the one I do know best. Gotta give another listen to "Deconstructed". ubu (je ne suis pas un structuraliste non plus!)

If you are one of "those inclined" or just happen to land in such a situation, the Hartman/Coltrane albums is said to make wonders happen! I never tried myself, so the usual disclaimer applies... ubu

I prefer my "Albert Ayler - NEW WAVES, music for the ultimate relaxation" album over the Mitchell and those two Brotzmanns. Actually, volume two of NEW WAVES, music for... shall be a compilation of tracks culled from Hal Russell albums. ubu

These Decca sides are on one of the Jazz in Paris discs, I think? Do the JiP Django discs collect everything he did as a leader for Decca (and other Universal related labels)? ubu

I just had an ear-ful of this at lunch-time. They're very very good! I saw them live in Zurich during the same tour this disc was recorded (in France). Potter seems to get better and better! Swallow grooves as usual, and Nussbaum is very responsive, and adds a nice, a little harder touch to the proceedings. That's what the ECM website has to say: ubu
