Niko

Thanks for posting!

I will miss him, RIP

On Spotify, you could do just that provided that everything you need is on there... (I guess it's the same on other services)

Reading this sentence got me to look up the house, learn that it's now a museum (about itself, not about Leonhardt) and visit it this afternoon... A nice house to say the least

Was also surprised to see how close Don Byron stayed to the original in many cases...

That's been on my wishlist for a long time, never saw it so far...

I envy you! Certain other hobbies I have are already quite a threat to storage space in our apartment... so finding room for a nice collection of beer glasses in the kitchen is one fight I've decided not to fight (and just drink everything from a large trappist glass)

The design of the glass tells you all you need to know... That's why Belgians tend to be fairly religious about serving all beers from the proper glass... (And some of those habits are honored north of the border as well... As seen from our tiny glimpse into Pim's household)

I saw him live a few times and enjoyed most of it quite a bit, I'm especially fond of the quartet with Sam Harris (and Sam Harris in general, check out his album on Freshsound!)... Owl Song I didn't like either though, similar idea to Wadada Leo Smith's Lebroba which I find much stronger

Majesty King Funk indeed...

that's a great book...

I tend to agree, like the Aldana album much more than those two Lund albums... Heard Aldana's group live this weekend actually, quartet without piano, Lund was outstanding... and she mentioned the next album of her music with Lund would come out in April

That, too, Discogs has quite a few versions including that bootleg on "Jazz Door" https://www.discogs.com/master/895315-Joe-Henderson-And-Kikuchi-Hino-In-Concert

Re "some time ago", this material first came out in the 70s already...

had to look up the address... Thorbeckeplein 5... Thorbeckeplein 16, just a few houses further is where Coleman Hawkins had his regular engagement in the 1930s (link)

if it's a somewhat dark and rainy desert island, I might take this cd with me like this is a favorite track

It's exactly the same in the Netherlands, we had a rare healthy week the last few days but now "the maestro" as we affectionately call her has again brought back something from daycare... She's still too young to tell us much about the symptoms... Can't wait to check them out myself....

Russell's antinomy right there... (I count three posts after December 27, or four if I include this one)

made me aware that Bill Crow is still delivering his columns, I read a few this weekend https://www.local802afm.org/allegro/articles/band-room-december-2023/

Bobby/Billy/Brasil for the fourth time today, Getz/Gilberto calls, Dixieland answers... it's just enjoyable music, those Bossa backgrounds couldn't hurt a fly and I can easily listen to Hackett and Butterfield duetting all day

I see six posts from December 27, the first from OliverM, the last from mjzee... no idea what you see or if you're special in that regard

That Willie Bryant collection i recently got as well (i ended 2023 with four Earl Hines Soli albums, Dinah, Plays Gershwin (Swaggie), Tribute to Louis and Plays Ellington)

Nice!

There's some information in Bill Crow's Facebook post... Apparently Bailey gave up drumming and became a flight instructor...
