funny i never would have guessed that actress to be alive... this speaks very much in favor of the films naturalistic qualities i'd say

just in case other fanatics are around, just ordered the (youth) autobiography of the son of Fruscella's last girlfrined artist stella waitzkin fred waitzkin - the last marlin http://www.amazon.com/Last-Marlin-Story-Fa...6920&sr=8-3 the book has only 10 pages about fruscella, but then it is cheaply available and offers a rare glimpse at tony in the mid-sixites (he doesn't come across too charming, personally i find the part about killing a cat horrible and the thing with robbing a church amusing, non-vegetarians may see this differently, no offense intended) (actually the book doesn't look too bad, haven't read the rest yet, very well-written... it's mostly about fishing though...)

sorry, looks plausible, don't know what i saw there... welcome!

first time this thread appeared i thought it was ok because of the nice photos the one thing i have a problem with is that he deleted his original thread and posted it again the next day... would have been ok with me with new pictures though

first time i see bill green on a list that doesn't contain buddy collette

haven't heard them yet, just saw, zenon has several hours of free live mp3s on his webpage http://www.miguelzenon.com/live.htm

what's that thing in your pocket?

had never heard of these guys before i joined the board (actually, before i started to read the organ related threads) now i ordered the last don patterson leader cd i was still missing, and the next-to-last john patton cd... Don Patterson - Steady Comin' at Ya John Patton - Blue John

for an impression of jeffrey, can't look it up at work but there used to be clips on youtube of dizzy gillespie's big band live 1968 where jeffrey takes an excellent solo somewhere

saw a bunch of thoroughly low-priced cds featuring daerr or kruse at the shop today after reading this thread and thought i'd tell you... no idea how these are Daerr/Sieverts/Juette - Germany Twelve points http://www.amazon.de/Germany-12-Points-Dae...395&sr=1-43 Carsten Daerr/Daniel Erdmann - Berlin Calling http://www.amazon.de/Berlin-Calling-Carste...424&sr=1-51 young friends - great german songbook (featuring kruse) http://www.amazon.de/Great-German-Songbook...374&sr=1-35

intuitively i would wait whether the boxes show up in the october program of zweitausendeins... for instance they have the george duke box for 24 euro which seems pretty good http://www.zweitausendeins.de/suche/?q=Duke%2C%20George

additional question from me (ignorant to mckenna so far)... there is a mckenna / buddy de franco concord cd i see a lot in the bins overhere? do i need that one? i mean if he's best solo, a duo with a horn player can't be that bad?)

also only a 40 for me; but they list the nearest grocery store at 30 km when it's in fact 50 meters; similarly the japanese bookstore 60 km from here in Düsseldorf is not the best option for books (meaning the miss all the bookstores here as well as in Cologne ?!)

i mostly buy us import cds... but to the credit of the local brick&mortar store i must say at least if they have something on sale it's usually best to buy it there (for 7 to 9 euro but without shipping)

one of the most remarkable things i read in an interview was in a heinz sauer interview from shortly after mangelsdorff died; iirc sauer had just recorded a mangelsdorff tribute album or the like; the journalist said something (very roughly) along the lines of "must be hard to lose an old friend like albert?" and sauer said something like "there were dozens of reasons for why there could at no point have been friendship between mangelsdorff and me, i would rather call it respect" i mean, they weren't talking about, say, love... until then i had always (naively) thought that people who play in a (great, and not overly commercial) band together for years (decades) must be friends in one way or another... or at least, call themselves friends on the outside... (and mangelsdorff always looks so harmless and friendly, the other way around it would have surprised me less, but that sauer says "that guy could never have been a friend of mine")

Yes, indeed! Anybody know Michel de Villers, the bari player in this video? What's his deal? And saxophone geek question: What kind of horn is Byas playing in these vids? There's that weird thing on the neck octave vent... de villiers is on several of the jazz in paris discs: an octet ep led by him is on the "Saxophones a Saint-Germain-des-Prés" (which is great though his tracks pale a bit in comparison with the hubert fol and sonny criss eps on the same cd) another leader date is on "Danse a Saint-Germain-des-Prés" which i haven't heard... he's also on lucky thompson with the dave pochonet all stars (great cd, but i have never paid attention to him, though i believe the sidemen get some solos...) cheap: http://www.amazon.com/Danse-Saint-Germain-...7977&sr=1-2 highly recommended: http://www.amazon.com/Saxophones-Saint-Ger...8022&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Jazz-Paris-Dave-Poch...8055&sr=1-1

Glad you've picked a picture that looks like you, Niko. I always find it a bit disconcerting not to know whether or not I'm looking at an image or near-image of the poster. I mean, does Allen Lowe really look like one of Richard Nixon's seedier henchmen? Or does Medjuk look like Clarence Williams - or is that a photo of someone else? me, only picture i have, actually even with some sort of beard, but that one was not intended

well the beard in the picture is not the (much fuller) type of beard i'd associate with a jazz fan... actually i look a lot like the portrait (which is why i picked it, haven't read any of that guy's stuff though i want to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Rodenbach) but i don't have that beard

patton plays piano with fred jackson on a track on the lost sessions conn...

the first jazz radio show i ever heard featured mseleku... i was very impressed, heard that station for years but it rarely got that good again, but never explored mseleku any further... any recommendations?

just ordered my first mangelsdorff cd (now jazz ramwong) to check out whether i will need these for christmas...

:tup no reason to be modest with these! love the henry grimes...

Yeah, it's been that way for close to three years now... what's wrong with this? http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/094...ASIN=0940642182

one guy listens to U2 and REM and the like, the other listens to strange music, a bit like smooth jazz but based on chinese classical music instead of jazz

You, sir, have been officially cut out of my will! do what you have to do but don't complain when you find yourself sitting on a cloud together with that teacher some day... he seems like a nice guy (maybe he is one), even is a jazz fan of sorts... thing is he just got like two hours of stuff to say and afterwards isn't shy to repeat himself... he never prepared classes and always started at the same point for several weeks in a row, reportedly he had been a decent teacher in the late sixties... he even taught louis l'amour at the university... guess he just didn't want to read shakespeare anymore...
