  1. way too much lately... a bunch of stuff from 2001 (ojc/concord, blue note rvgs and impulse cds for 4,99) including this morning a bunch of john coltrane albums (already had a good deal of the prestige and atlantic albums but just a love supreme and the single cd village vanguard on impulse...) crecent, live at birdland and coltrane... saturday on a rare trip to cologne's brick and mortar cd stores i got for another 40 euro (a good deal i guess but too large a sum) Dodo Marmarosa - Chicago Sessions (his Argo trio album backed by a great quartet album with bill hardman i had never heard about) Marc Ducret - Gris (Label Bleu) Shamek Farrah/Sonelius Smith - The world of children (strata east) Lee Konitz/Martial Solal - Star Eyes Hamburg 1983 Duke Jordan with Cecil Payne and Teddy Edwards (a twofer of Brooklyn Brother (Muse) minus one tune and "the inimitable teddy edwards" which is my favorite session so far on the six cds...) Cecil Payne/Duke Jordan with Kenny Dorham & Johnny Coles (Fresh Sound) and i haven't even started filling gaps in my blue note rvg collection...
  2. Yes, you're right. Here's the original cover. Just make sure that you don't make a play for this one unless you live around Ghent. No shipping at all.....not even within Belgium. Why bother listing on eBay?....kinda undermines that whole global marketplace thaaang! http://cgi.ebay.com/KENNY-CLARKEs-sextet-p...93%3A1|294%3A50 luckily he accepts paypal...
  3. apparently the tolliver is the one called compassion elsewhere- it is easily recommended! _______________________________ some info on the joe chambers here http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...52BSI%26otn%3D4 a trio with chambers on piano and drums, hidefumi toki on saxophone and nobuyoshi ino on bass... _______________________________ and this one looks good: Marion Brown - November Cotton Flower June 21-22, 1979 Sound Ideas Studios, New York City November Cotton Flower [10:28] (Marion Brown) La Placita [10:11] (Marion Brown) Fortunato [7:14] (Marion Brown) Pleasant Street [7:14] (Marion Brown) Sweet Earth Flying [9:00] (Marion Brown) Marion Brown (as) Hilton Ruiz (p) Earl May (b) Warren Smith (dr, perc) Karl Rausch (g) (tracks 1+5)

  5. Well....ok, but.....the question was if somebody knows something about musical activities of Dexter in the period after "Round Midnight" until his death. I tried to answer h e r e as good as I could. don't think he meant your post... you sure didn't fail to impress me... go on!
  6. funny, i never saw such a significant break in my life between childhood and later... (though lately i feel my childhood is really over); those three relationships certainly are central in my life (though the first one with susan i don't understand anymore and look back to the least) but i always felt to some extent i first became a certain person and then got involved in a relationship that fit... the version of myself i find most impressive is when i was 19-22 or so, somehow i feel i already knew most of the stuff i know now though mostly from books... by now i've lived through some of it as well which makes me feel a lot less wise and wasn't too appealing either... but after all a lot of what was important at 13 still is... say, most of the books that are important now i would have liked back then as well i am pretty certain... and the first sentence i ever spoke ("the hat i take, just in case, i think") still is very much who i am today;
  7. was a bit disappointed that they (obviously on purpose) got together these relatively obscure guys and then didn't feature them more (lester robertson of course recorded a lot with tapscott later on... afaik nathaniel meeks has a chapter in that french "san quentin jazz band" book which i haven't tried to read so far, hoping for a translation..., brisenio is featured (more?) on this recent fresh sound release "chamber jazz sextet with kenneth patchen" which looks pretty interesting http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/record.php?record_id=5118 )
  8. i like your question I like your liking of his question A question may be either a linguistic expression used to make a request for information, or else the request itself made by such an expression. This information is provided with an answer. Questions are normally put or asked using interrogative sentences. But they can also be put by imperative sentences, which normally express commands: "Tell me what 2 + 2 is"; conversely, some expressions, such as "Would you pass the butter?", have the grammatical form of questions but actually function as requests for action, not for answers. (A phrase such as this could, theoretically, also be viewed not merely as a request but as an observation of the other person's desire to comply with the request given.)
  9. I think it was those sound clips that piqued my interest, it's not as wild and wooly as I expected. same here - don't think i'll start with a nine cd box but i definitely have to check out some braxton soon... Not start with a nine cd box set?????????????? What are you, some kind of coward???????????? :D wish fear was the only factor that kept me from spending those 150$

  11. i like your question
  12. also bought that one a few weeks ago, one of these rare instances where i went the local record store and found something i didn't expect which was pretty much what i was looking for at a great price... (found the music a bit uneven but there definitely are a number of excellent tunes on this double cd)
  13. in that far away period of my live we played, besides all the things you are, for instance when sunny gets blue, mas que nada, georgia on my mind, nick drake's river man and lullaby of birdland (not particulary inspired choices (so maybe not what you're looking for) but we had a good time... just looked it up - our brilliant singer from those days is finally singing these things with "name people" locally, definitely a bit proud)
  14. Yes, Keith and Ra were hardly unique in the 60s/70s in that sort of talk (I blame cheap paperbacks of Sanskrit texts and the like). They clearly believed that they were part of whatever master plan the creator had. Now where are those Alice Coltrane records.... don't know... imho ra is a hundred times better at placing words than this jarrett quote (leaving the messages aside)... also his album titles "nubians of plutonia" and the like aren't mereley sanskrit adaptions... maybe better than all jazz musicians of that time... (ornette coleman is pretty good as well, of course) besides, assuming i want to buy just one jarrett record (which is actually the case, you guys got me curious) from the ones popping up around here cheaply... which is a good place to start? fort yawuh, standards live, bye bye blackbird, facing you[, gnu high]...? or none of those... ?
  15. good luck, shawn! asked my boss concerning what will be after september, he said we'll have to ask around whether some other department has money to spare
  16. emerson string quartet plays debussy and ravel string quartets is my only debussy album and i like it a lot

    funny, i actually had that lawrence cohn kahn cd in my hand ten minutes ago but then decided in favor of the john dennis ojc
  18. Damn it, Late. I thought it was going to be another one of those St. Sanders videos. A tip to "Well You Needn't" in the "Chronology" solo, if I remember correctly--not an exact quote, but rhythmically similar. Of course Ornette's music isn't as threatening now as it was, but listening to the Brown/Roach Quintet a lot recently--which itself sounds like the fire breathing of its time--and then spinning This Is Our Music for the first time in ages, my mind was blown anew. The two things I initially noticed were (1) this is the most complete pianoless quartet music I've ever heard and (2) you can't get people to just play this stuff--it's very tonally astute. Charlie Haden had ears of gold. funny, listened to something else!!!! and then to the shape of jazz to come today (also for the first time in quite a while, think i'm still in my first 10 hours of listening to coleman...) and found the jump ahead (not only but certainly a good deal due to haden) astonishing... can't promise i would recognize something else!!! as "free jazz" when i heard it on the radio...
  19. you must try to get a refund... of the 30 $, 1$ are the seller's actual costs and 29 $ are the margin he added to the price in the hope to find an idiot... unless you want to be that idiot try to get at least the 29$ back...
  20. think david liebman is the one saxophone player my sax teacher (who is a bit younger, in his mid-thirties and who likde grossman iirc) used to say rather ugly things about (though i vaguely recall him saying about some record "in that context even dave liebman doesn't sound bad")
  21. easily the best jazz book i read in the last two years... lots of interesting background on the paris music scene around that time, about djangos sidemen..., reasonably insightful writing about the music, a good (though a bit short) chapter on gypsy jazz after django and dozens of funny django anecdotes,... (stuff like when he was in the UK for the first time and told one of his companions "see, they also have a moon here")

    durium wrote two very interesting entries on kuiters in his blog... (and included a tune of his on his bft...) http://keepswinging.blogspot.com/2008/07/p...erdammer-1.html http://keepswinging.blogspot.com/2008/07/p...erdammer-2.html
  23. guess i should be more thankful for my sequence of three month contracts... plus the money is not for research anymore but for doing all sorts of other stuff; last week i had appointments with two of the top thirty mathematicians in the world... with one i discussed how to fit his stuff into only 200 boxes and then into his tiny new office, with the other i discussed the color of his new furniture...(we ended up choosing a somewhat darker grey than what the company had suggested) (not that there was anything else i'd rather talk to with heavy guys like these); don't know, at least i managed to feel better the last five or six weeks though nothing has improved on the outside; wishing the two of you and anyone else here all the best (and i did think of you, shawn, when you said you had your interviews... didn't help apparently, but i will continue to do so, just drop us a note! )
  24. wow! looks great, most of these i don't know but there's hardly one in there i haven't considered buying...
  25. tough to find anything... the first half http://www.membran.net/images/4252_223997_back.jpg seems to be also on this classics cd http://secure.swapacd.com/cd/album/314580-1945+1946 and here is a bit on the second half "1953 - Tenor saxophonist Bud Freeman, with Dick Cary on piano, George Barnes on guitar, Jack Lesberg on bass, and Don Lamond on drums, records the tracks "Margo's Seal", "I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plans", "I Could Write A Book", and "Blues For Tenor" (aka "Dorsey Brothers Blues"), in New York City for his self-titled Capitol Records 10" album that is part of Capitol's "Classics In Jazz" series." from here http://popculturefanboy.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
