just had found a cheap star eyes recently... waiting for the Dark Tree!

The Jon Eardley Seven (a rare (?) example of an ojc that's on spotify but not on deezer... had only seen the other way round so far) deezer has worse sound quality (found that somewhere on the web can't hear it) but no commercial breaks (just visual advertising on the page, no pop-ups either) here are deezer searches for enrico rava and gene ammons to convince all but billf that they need both... http://www.deezer.com/#music/result/all/enrico%20rava http://www.deezer.com/#music/result/all/gene%20ammons

happy birthday!

warwick university seems like a pleasant place! like it that the maths building really looks like a maths building with lots of funny angles and curves... the joe albany album is a fine one... his daughter's childhood autobiography (discussed in some old thread) is one of the most disturbing books i have read in recent years...

Welcome to the UK, Nico! Access to Spotify is one of the few things it's got to recommend it these days! Still, I guess you'll get a good deal for your euros! love spotify! big advantage compared with deezer is that there is so much of the emi catalogue (also some enjas)... also much better (though still not sufficient) discographical information... but deezer has more universal stuff, jazz in paris, mps, ojcs (much more gene ammons iirc) but luckily for this week i can have both... having a great time here i hope, already listened to hank mobley's a slice of the top, had some great indian food and took a walk one a spooky looking cemetery at night... Take care! What city are you in? Thanks for the Spotify/Deezer comparison; I must give Deezer a try sometime. It's just that I'm somewhat overwhelmed by Spotify's abundance of riches at the moment! deezer is even easier to use, you don't need any software you just have to register (in addition to what i said, deezer has a lower sound quality and more ecms - played enrico rava's new york days with mark turner and stefano bollani last night - great one!) I'm in Kenilworth... can't really imagine living in so small a place but for the moment it's more than charming... Kenilworth! Probably even safe there to walk in cemeteries at night! Thought you were perhaps unwisely in Highgate Cemetery in London! Kenilworth - your visit anything to do with Warwick University? a conference in warwick indeed, the cemetery is right across the street and not fenced in (strangely, maybe because it is only old graves from before 1920 or so...) it looked pretty safe at least joe albany - portrait of an artist

Ernest Hemingway and jazz music.
Niko replied to Dmitry's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
there is one slight jazz reference in the sun also rises where brett tells about having heard some great black drummer in paris... (the first scene with brett? the one with the baron?) reading in michael dregni's django biography i had some idea who that drummer might have been... -
i really like that roland alexander / ronnie matthews fantasy twofer and this has a lot to do with davis' contribution on one the matthews album.... on that strozier album it's george coleman on tenor...

once you've seen gabor szabo's paintings on ebay nothing on his albums can shock you anymore (the cover of spellbinder is easily one of the best ones...) edit: thinking a little, gabor szabo must be a pretty common name in hungary so presumably this guy http://search.stores.ebay.de/Empireposter_...20GaborQQsofpZ0 is someone else... still: gabor szabo was a painter, too and painted among others the cover of spellbinder

Well, I'm not claiming a monopoly! Tried to identify the trio before looking it up. Thought the drummer was Philly Joe, but it's someone called Kenny Dennis! if you'd guessed kenny dennis i'd be heavily impressed (iirc he did record some more.. maybe with mal waldron?) always a bit disappointed by that album in comparison with the kerry dancers or night lady for instance...

would never have guessed coltrane getting so little votes (less than ellington for instance...); had never heard braxton until i checked out some sound samples recently which sounded pretty cool - did i miss something?
