  1. I like this one a lot too, but I like Stitt a lot. Given the size of this box, you are sort of forced to eat it in small bites.
  2. If only it could happen SS1 Please ................
  3. Mal Waldronn - The Quest (featuring Eric Dolphy)
  4. Maybe not Couw, If you are Bud, you sure don't want any of those good tasting european beers around embarrassing you.
  5. You're such a chauvinist Brownie I think brownie merely pointed at the internal inconsistency of the french language with respect to this word. No, I think he's just got the derivation wrong - not every word comes from France. This word, as it's being used here, comes from Spanish. Does the "illa" suffix mean anything in French? While recognizing the french and spanish have a common source, I was merely pointing out that the anglosaxon spelling of this word comes from the spanish which is where the word comes from-and is therefore spelled quite correctly. And now here comes skeith who seems to be on a crusade of his own and is more and more on the lookout for confrontations Actually, the French word 'guerre' comes from ancient German as this specialist site - in French - indicates: http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/epc/langueXIX/dg/08_t1-2.htm And I have been around long enough to know that a guerrillero is somebody who joins the guerrilla! Guerrilla is what I wrote and it was what I meant! You want to stage a guerrilla about that? And next time you pick up from Wikipedia as you did to give a spanish origin to 'guerre', just indicate your source. Don't think Wikipedia is the ultimate reference. Look Brownie, I know you assume we americans are too ignorant to speak any language other than english, but as it happens I speak spanish. I only have the vaguest clue as to what Wikipedia is and no I did not look it up there. You said you enjoy seeing people mess up trying to speak French and I see you messed up on Spanish. .. he who lives by the sword. I am sure you meant what you wrote, I don't question it - it's just wrong. I don't care to peruse your specialist site. If it came from German it probably went to Latin before french and therefore came to spanish the same way. Guerre may be french but guerilla is clearly spanish. Is "illa" a common sufffix in french? Hasta luego

  7. You're such a chauvinist Brownie Actually it derives from the Spanish word "guerra" (war) and the added "illa" is a diminutive that makes the meaning turn into "little war" so I think the anglos maybe got the spelling right. But the truly correct way to refer to these fighters in Spanish would be "guerrilleros" not guerrillas
  8. I like that one too MikeWeil - I think it is underrated!
  9. Just an aside to Jack Bruce fans, I still like these albums and love the music and his singing voice, but am I the only one who finds the Pete Brown lyrics not as engaging as they were all those years ago?
  10. Porcy I am not so familiar with Ginger's work although it seems to be very much in the jazz idiom. Of Jack's work I love "things we like" which is very much a straight ahead jazz album. But what many consider to be his best post Cream work is on "Songs for a Tailor" which is clearly a rock album.
  11. I agree Sal and don't forget the soundtrack which is jazz.
  12. I went looking for one of the ENT guys recently and couldn't find any listings under this. I am told they are now called Otolaryngologists (hope my spelling is correct)
  13. I wish your wife all the best.
  14. The set is in excellent condition as well as the box and liner booklet. I offer it at US $90.00 including shipping and insurance. Includes the following 4 recordings: Rosewood, Woody III, For Sure, and United
  15. Hey Lon, I would be interested in your comments comparing the sound of the Japanese Sony DSD versions to the new box. (on your advice I picked up some of the DSD versions and found the sound to be great!) Is the new box an improvement?
  16. Next weekend. How come you Austin guys aren't talkin' this up.
  17. thanks, Late
  18. So Late, Does that mean that you can't get the mini-lp covers anymore on the VICJs?
  19. Maybe I am missing something, but hasn't this Listings section been moved to Friday?
  20. I just saw that this set went for $75.00 on ebay. So I reduce my offer to $75.00 including shipping and insurance.
  21. I now offer it, same conditions, for $90.00.
  22. There's a John Waters film in this thing somewhere
  23. Last week the Times reported that Ornette Coleman is to receive the Dorothy and Lillian Gish prize which consists of $250,000 and a silver medal for his artistic achievements. The ceremony is October 14th at Lincoln Center and ironically the presenter of the award will be Wynton Marsalis.
  24. This 3 cd set contains 4 lps (Fuschia Swing Song, Contours, A New Conception, Involution/ Dimensions and Extensions). The condition is mint. $110.00 US, includes shipping and insurance to anywhere in the USA.
  25. I like Jackie's playing and music a lot and this is a good session(s) - I particularly like "Appointment in Ghana".
