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

Indeed! Seems like I won't get no food in november...

but there seems to be something with her nose... maybe the wedding has to be postponed until after some surgery? ubu

Not a king exactly, but possibly future queen... (the spanish Royals have confirmed the marriage of her - Letizia Ortiz is her name - and heir to the throne, prince Felipe) ubu

I love the Enja album he made with Kenny Barron, Ben Riley and Cecil McBee. It's called "There Was A Time - Echo of Harlem". A beautiful date! Was recorded in 1990. ubu

I love the Swiss Movement record! Benny Bailey is quite good on that one, too (although he himself seems to dislike the album...). I heard a broadcast of a Bill Evans (sax player) concert from some german jazz festival (maybe two years ago), where Les McCann was added to the group as a special guest (piano & vocals) for two of the broadcasted tracks. I have no idea to what he(McCann)'s up today, however. ubu

I've seen her live (with the band) probably in 2001. A great show! Rich Perry, Scott Robinson,... you get several good solosists/instrumentalists, and then you get the lavish yet very controlled and nuanced sound of her beautiful orchestrations of her (or other band members', I think) compositions. I got her second CD (Coming About), and it is quite similar in style to the concert I heard (it was the 30 year Enja Winckelmann jubilee tour, I saw Dhafer Yousef the next day, too. The first Enja release, by the way, was a Mal Waldron record, if I remember that right.) Hope you'll hear a great concert, EKE! Edit: just reread your post; you will be hearing the same show she did yesterday in Zurich (I missed it as I am currently in the accompanying orchestra of a theatre staging Brecht/Weill's Threepenny-Opera, and did miss the whole - though terribly bad programmed - Zurich jazz festival which took place last week). ubu

uh, and, generally, I'm more on the side of the Saints than the Kings... or rather: on the side of what the Saints had to say about Kings (such as Saint-Just) ubu

Cool! Hell, I only saw that thread today. I vote for King Ubu because, he, roi des polonais, is nowadays the true winner of the war in iraq (as polish writer Andrej Stasiuk said in the german newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung some months ago). He prevents Sadam from stealing all those beautiful blonde polonaises... B) Another personal favorite: King Bumibol (of Thailand, sp?). He jammed with Benny Goodman. The only jazz-addict king known to me. Bev, how's that Peter Burke book? I read some of his stuff, but not this one. Have you read that little book by Robert Darnton (in german it was called "Poesie und Polizei", I would have to look up the original title) on those nice poems about Mme Poisson etc? ubu

Ain't that Speer's Berlin Reichskanzlei?

Sorry 'bout that. I was browsing the Universal France site and saw that, and thought I'd post albeit in French...

source: http://www.universalmusic.fr/servlet/Front...t_id=4400675662 Waiting for this! Her last couple of albums were GREAT ones!

I love it! It's quite modern small group stuff. Not in the Grappelli vein. Some very able sidemen. Michel Portal makes his recording debut there. Would have to listen again to make more elaborate comments. ubu

I have just gotten Harris' "For Bird and Bags" and do really enjoy that album! There is not Harris thread here, so I thought we could start discuss his music here. One of my favorite 32jazz releases was the 2CD set by Harris including "The In Sound", "Mean Greens", "Tender Storm" and "Silver Cycles". There is a lot of very good music to be found on these dates! Harris' sound is unique by all means. He was truly his own man. What's your opinion about him? Which are your favorite albums? Let's start some discussion of the man and his music here! ubu

A great album! It's been some time since I heard it first, but it's a very good one! Is there any catalogue (online) of available Koch Jazz releases/reissues? ubu

I like it just right. It's a little rough (mainly the playing of Morgan and McLean), but it's true, bluesy, and yes, thoughtful, maybe. ubu

I like the Jacquet very much. It was among the first 10 of my Mosaics. I never did care about the sound, but it might be as good as possible with existing sources etc etc. It's from the forties, so no one expects something pristine. The music often is quite r'n'b influenced, sometimes with vocals, some jump stuff, one big band session, and (this has been mentioned) there are many ballad masterpieces. Get it while it's around! ubu

I got the CD last week. Have only had time to listen to the first 15 or 20 minutes, but my first impression is positive. Sounds like an interesting disc!

You're right, Jim! I'd buy such a box myself, too! Hell, that would be a GREAT one! Here is the information on the Mingus Europe tour of 1964 (the links don't function here, click the source for that): (source: http://webusers.siba.fi/~eonttone/mingus/1964.html) B) actually means b ) ubu
