actually, i did pray, since i believe atheist prayers count twice... all the best to your daughter and you!

been using opera on one machine and noticed that for some sites (more intricate stuff like booking flights) i had to use ie because the site designers were only prepared for ie, firefox and netscape... otherwise i'd second that recommendations

The John Betsch Society - Earth Blossom (Deezer)

alles gute zum geburtstag!

what a great website, thanks for the link!

Derek Bailey - Ballads (Spotify)

Whoooooooooooooooooa, how did you do that??? :tup don't know literally how he did it, but on www.archive.org you can just enter a url and if you're lucky they have saved what you need for instance... http://web.archive.org/web/20040401233954/...simo.org/forum/ edit to add: when browsing organissimo or ther forums chances are best to find stuff if you don't use the links to the threads on the front page but enter, say, the discographies forum and then the thread...

his homepage... http://www.skvorecky.com/

Jacques Coursil - Minimal Brass (Spotify) Jacques Coursil - Clameurs (Deezer)

since i already have and enjoy snijbloemen and seeking i will follow you here and get the other two... ordered the hipp as well (guess it's the same material currently available on a spanish cd? strangely the zweitausendeins site gives three song titles only one of which matches one on the freshsound cd...) thanks to all for their thoughts... guess the series isn't that new then (though i can't recall having seen one of the cds before...)

i can recommend the fantasy twofer "the red rodney quintets", it has had the session with jimmy ford and a fifties lp with ira sullivan (with norman simmons iirc, not the one larry meant above but still a nice one, sullivan's tenor playing really stands out...)

happy birthday!

happy birthday, allen!

to bring this off topic immediately 2001 also has a batch of hatologies for 3,99 (double cds 7,99) and recommendations are very much appreciated (ordered the vallon and ortega imediately . the ortega disc btw has the missing tune from new dance) notably, is the braxton a good introduction to his work?

admittedly i know little about this... whether lippmann and rau is an old label or just two guys (one of them still alive) reissuing stuff that's important to them (possibly because they produced it for someone else years ago)... anyway, there is a bunch of new cds, exclusively it seems, at zweitausendeins.de and i have the feeling they are important... ordered the schoof and can hopefully tell you about packaging soon... any reccomendations from this batch?

Allen Lowe/Roswell Rudd - Woyzeck's Death (Spotify)

then you probably haven't seen this one... saw one used a few weeks ago for 7 euro, kicking myself for not getting it, cheapest copy on amazon.de is 75 euro...

Clarence Profit - Clarence Profit (Memoir) on deezer Jenny Scheinman - Shalagaster on spotify both great!

just playing the memoir cd (on deezer.com) thanks for the heads up!

bought that one two days after coltrane's sound and it never grabbed me quite as much as sound... now playing howard mcghee - jazzbrothers (deezer)

Superb, majestic! I'm inclined to use the word "classic", which shows how far we've come since 1959! Am now listening to Coltrane's Sound on Spotify, as I couldn't get it to play on Deezer, a problem which I often get. Am I pressing the wrong buttons, or do some Deezer-listed items not play for you? I should thank G A Russell for rekindling my interest in Coltrane by choosing so much Trane from Lala. I have about a dozen Coltrane items, mostly on vinyl from the 60s, but they don't get played too much nowadays, so it's great to be listening now to some Coltrane that's new to me. coltrane's sound is one of my two or three favorite coltranes... some things on deezer are not available everywhere due to different agreements in different countries (but still listed everywhere - i believe spotify is cleverer there); if you list an artist's albums, annoyingly, you cannot see the difference http://www.deezer.com/#music/artist/5123 but if you look at the albums' pages http://www.deezer.com/#music/album/123773 http://www.deezer.com/#music/album/82032 or search for an artist http://www.deezer.com/#music/result/all/mingus you can (because those play triangles on the left of the title are either shaded (unplayable) or not...

Mingus at the Boheia (deezer) how's bakai?

Earl Anderza - Outa Sight (spotify)

all i can tell you is that jeffrey magee's henderson biography calls him elusive (unfortunately footnote 35 to chapter 7 is not part of the free preview... but i guess that one wouldn't help either, otherwise there'd be more info in the main text... http://books.google.com/books?id=QPCzhsfro...p;lr=&hl=de (lord lists 11 sessions in 1931 and that's it - don't have lord and can't tell you what they were...)

It's an easy read if your French is OK. If you managed to get through a math book in french, you should not have too many problems. I had a lot of problems reading math books in french when I had to guess it helps when you know the type of statements a book should make (in maths, actually, if someone told me, the most accessible text is in norwegian or italian only, i might give it a try (because a well-organized text helps a lot there and when you have to spend a day with two or three pages anyway you have more than enough time to figure out those few sentences))... similarly with a jazz book, that someone recorded with dexter gordon is a bit of information one can easily grasp in many languages... but of course i hope the book goes a bit deeper (and luckily otherwise, the language of (good) jazz journalism is more flexible than the language of maths...) bottomline: the book is on my birthday wishlist
