two ensembles financed by the same radio station... i'd guess they get the same pay (and sometimes do projects together - don't know how voluntary that is ), might practice in the same building (and that's about it)

!!Happy Birthday!!

it's years ago that i read it... gave it to a friend two weeks ago and what he said matched very well my own memories: it's mainly about sex and (with few exceptions) it ends somewhere in the early fifties... it's a good book but there's room left for other mingus biographies... Let's just say this one should be filed under "Fiction" in the library. an interesting contrast btw is buddy collettes (slightly boring but still recommended) autobiography which for the early years roughly covers the same people at the same time... it's so much less colorful i almost felt sorry for collette...

i know very little tippett, two albums i haven't listened to in years but remember very fondly are Tippett's Dedicated to you but you weren't listening and even more so Dennis Gonzalez's Catechism (featuring elton dean, tippett, moholo... gonzalez used to have this for download on his webpage but i can't find it anymore...) thanks for this thread! will check out more tippett soon (only yesterday i first heard paul rogers' time of brightness with dunmall/domancich/levin and enjoyed it a lot...)

I'd want to know how cities earned points in their measuring system, before giving any credence to it overall. And I'd like to see how the 215 candidate cities were selected in the first place. I'm guessing this survey looked at primarily large cities that deal in alot of trade/business. Frankfurt would qualify in that respect, though I'd much rather live in any number of nearby cities over Frankfurt. walked around frankfurt for a day two years ago and while it wasn't quite the moloc i had expected there are dozens of city in germany i'd prefer... can't imagine living in bavaria so no munich for me (though that may be prejudice)... i did live in dusseldorf for a few months in 2006 and indeed it really was the best place i have lived in so far (berlin and cologne are of course much much livelier but somehow dusseldorf felt better...) don't know their criteria but big business surely was a huge factor...

at least three copies left at hebrew university http://aleph518.huji.ac.il/F/KGNK1XFKNHSPD...amp;jump=000021 coincidentally, two hours ago i just gave a book i bought from a library here to a friend who will probably take it with him to switzerland at some time in the future...

Avishai Cohen - After The Big Rain (deezer)

Jacques Thollot - Tenga Nina (deezer)

Paul Rogers - Time of Brightness (lastfm)

Jacques Vidal - Sans Issue (Deezer) great one!

Maurice Vander - Piano Jazz (deezer)

Lars. . . what a great player . . . I have all the appearances on Dragon, and a few others including Portrait of my Pals. wasn't too impressed with portrait but the 1952 one (which is part of dragon cd 7) was great. Now playing Bernt Rosengren - Notes from Underground those two rosengren albums are fascinating (are these digital only reissues?), stockholm dues has fine trumpet playing from lalle svensson he sounds a bit like kenny dorham but with some "old jazz" quality in his playing (somewhere on the web i read he was initially a trombone player and tried to have some trombone like quality in his trumpet playing - made sense to me)
