wilson is on one tape in the tapscott collection at UCLA in a quartet with Tapscott sideman Ray Straughter (playing one composition which is also on the open sky unit album) [and this is all my assertion was based on] http://content.cdlib.org/view?docId=kt1870...2&brand=oac Malcom X Week at Riverside City College . 05/22/1971 Future Present Tense UGMAA Personnel: Ron Wilson, piano; Paul Wright, bass; John Blue, drums; Ray S, tenor sax Compositions: E.P., Mankind Is One, Hot Rotten Collard Greens, Paul Chant, Passion and Compassion ___________________ Eternal Egypt Suite is definitely an excellent piece of music (and my favorite on that cd)... had heard the composer/soloist of that piece fuasi abdu khaliq in berlin years ago and was surprised to see his name again when reading about tapscott...

don't know whether this 1974 album fits the category but it definitely wasn't what i would have expected of a Jacques Pelzer album... there is some jazz rock in it (reminded me of soft machine in places), but the vocals also have a soul influence, and the two flutes/saxophones add a bit of freedom... (electric) pianist and singer Ron Wilson possibly was a member of Horace Tapscotts LA scene before emigrating to the Netherlands... Jacques Pelzer and his nephew Steve Houben on flute and saxophones, Pelzer's daughter Micheline on drums, her husband Michel Graillier on percussion plus Wilson on electric piano and Janot Buchem on electric bass... can be found cheaply with a little searching on ebay or the like...

happy birthday!

allen, now that you are up to something else... what is the state of this book (which i have long been awaiting)?

funny, did people leave the 78s era just out of technical curiosity and we are finally realizing it's time to go back there (i haven't realized it yet) not overly optimistic question to uk board members... i'll be in coventry for a week in march - any shops to check out there?

like that album quite a bit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrow_(band)

Aha - the magic word 'Wilen'. Add two zeros to the price ! The same seems to happen with Michel Roques, though there is also a higher scarcity factor. stumbled across your thread a few weeks ago... did you see "he"'s on youtube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLzAVAkLj9E

some barney wilen albums above 200 euro at amazon.de Sanctuary http://www.amazon.de/Sanctury-Barney-Cathe...1222&sr=1-2 French Movie Themes http://www.amazon.de/French-Story-Barney-W...1222&sr=1-3 Paris Moods http://www.amazon.de/Paris-Moods-Remastere...1222&sr=1-4 (the first two i recently bought for a total of about 20 euro)

guess the two strongest are big sleep and lady in the lake but then if i'd say if you like/dislike one of them you'll like/dislike them all (besides i recall my dad saying he stopped reading this type of novel (the chandlers, then the ross mcdonalds...) because every few hours you've finished one and need another one; and i can only second that, they tend to be pretty fast reading, trying playback won't cost you much time)

happy new year to everyone!

the tony fruscella/stan getz version of dear old stockholm

got Trajeto last year (guess it still is available cheaply, another whatmusic.com reissue) and was also highly impressed with his playing, especially the trio version of round midnight... (iirc it's also claudio roditi's first session, 1968)...

up!

the album you linked too (Open Sky Unit - Open Sky Unit) has Michel Graillier exclusively on percussion (while i'm at it... i really like that open sky unit album though it's quite different from the other stuff i listen too - most (of the few) fusion records i've heard are very different from it, much less lively/quirky, this is more like "soft machine plus soul=?" can you recommend anything similar?[there are sound samples...] [is this what return to forever is like? havn't heard them] anyway this album is definitely recommended as is the other j&m pelzer album reissued by whatmusic "song for rene" [which is again quite different and in a genre i don't know much about, spiritual jazz from belgium?]

milt jackson plays piano throughout on barney wilen's jazz sur seine (jazz in paris)

forgot to say i can only second that, think i also like blue john (just a bit) better than the three other bn albums... (though just have the US version) i also have one of his prestige albums, the laughing soul, it's a bit smoother (maybe more commercial) than the bns imho, though still very original... wouldn't say it's better but i did play it a lot, probably more than the others

he's also on some tracks of james carter's "at baker's keyboard lounge" rip

happy birthday

my dad bought books the way i buy cds and listened to music only by accident or on one of the five or six records that he loved (which is roughly my relationship to books)... i learned reading (just like speaking) rather late and didn't really use it at first... (reportedly the first time i said more than one word at a time was when i said "muetze nehm ich fuer alle faelle glaub ich" ("hat i will take, just in case, i guess"), my manner of speaking/writing hasn't changed a lot since then, it seems)

girlfriend can't walk more than a few meters due to side effects of antibiotics (levofloxacin aka levaquin or tavanic - use this drug with caution i'd say - and if you start feeling pain in your hands or legs stop taking it before it's too late; some doctors may not as aware of this as they should...), doctors say this will take at least four more weeks (and they can't promise it will get better at all but most likely it will go away some time in the next three or four months) so i guess her family will pick us up on the 24th and then my folks will pick us up from there and finally bring us home again on the 26th or the like... won't be a splendid christmas either

J R Monterose "Body and Soul" (with Jon Eardley and Rein de Graaff i expect) took me a while to figure out i should try a search for "montrose" on amazon to get the full picture of available monterose...

well, given what your post contained, i didn't read on immediately... i would suggest you delete it

not that i didn't understand it... is "Effort" a proper word in swiss german?
