Well deserved if you ask me! Congratulations fellas

All the best Flurin...having the day off?

no, it should actually download. What are you trying to download anyway? GTA.wmv?? GTA as in Grand Theft Auto? Check whether there are actual seeders for this torrent. Hi John, no i'm trying to get the 'lost quintet' stuff which was discussed above, that is just a screenshot from Wikipedia! But it accurately displays what I'm seeing. Help!!!!

Now...should I be getting a box appearing like this for hours on end, with no visible sign that info is downloading?

Thanks mate, i'm trying the first part of this now!

Just listening for the first time to this material. Mind blowing stuff ! Makes you realise that good though the studio sessions were, to a degree they were just scratching the surface. This material also emphasises the major impact of the avante-garde on Miles (via Holland and Corea) around the time of the Bitches Brew recordings. More so than I had previously realised. Excuse my ignorance, but how does all this work? I'm on the page now with a box that appears like this:

Nail hit firmly on head. I worked in a children's day nursery for a couple of years and you see all sorts of behaviour being exhibited; from boys 'shooting' each other with guns they've fashioned from Lego, girls attempting to plait each others hair, kids of both sexes using the toy 'doctors and nurses' kits to "mend" each other and, at story time, you'd notice occasionally a hand-in-hand. None of this was sinister or cause for concern. Isn't affection and expression to be encouraged? What's bothering me now is that are we the minority? The ones with a modicum of common sense and human nature or is it that the decent majority are being worked over by a few zealots? I dread to think sometimes what sort of world my little boy will grow up in.

I suppose Ornette's system of 'micro-tones' (excuse my ignorance -- I love the guy but I don't follow much of the theory behind his playing) allows him to sound 'out of tune' much of the time. Works wonderfully though.

i missed him in York last summer where he was performing with his 'regular' quintet; due in part to the sloppy organisational skills of the venue --- 'leave a message on answerphone and we'll get back to you' ......8 TIMES, when they did get back -- sold out!

:pulpfictionvoiceover: "Royale with cheese....."

Sounds good....I might pick this up soon (as well as the later ECM Rava's which I've been wanting for a while -- see how business is over the next few months!). From what I heard on Litania, Rypdal has charisma alright. did you say he'll be playing Barre Phillips compostions? Luckily in the UK, we have Music Connection who provide ECMs at around £12 inc. delivery.

Now: Next:

Very sad news. Icon, legend and innovator. Call him what you will but what a contribution to music and what a legacy to, not so much leave behind, but to educate and enlighten. RIP.

Had this for a few years now and it's a great jumping off point from which to explore the complete books. Well put together and well represented by the new and the old(er).

I remember reading an interview with Dave Holland where someone asked him about this and he said that no, he wasn't influenced by the McLean recordings. Guy So someone else obviously thought the same... Who was it? Am I in good company????

I'm a bit late to this discussion but it is a truly great album, one of my favourite McLeans and indeed one of my favourite BNs. His sound (possibly due to recoding technique) comes across just as sharp but a bit darker around the edges on this album. I was listeneing to this last night in bed on the iPod and one thing occurred to me, and it's probably all ocurred to this bunch already but, I wonder if this particular disc is responsible for the concept and whole dynamic behind Dave Holland's recent quintets. Sure there's similarity between the instrumentation (that difference in tonal qualities and range between the trombone and vibes always has me hooked), but just the whole feel of Holland's writing and structure comes across as a latter day Destination Out. Am I talking crap? Have a listen to Points Of View and Prime Directive to see if I'm making any sense at all
