ran into the most brilliant 19 year old i have ever known this morning; don't know much about mental things but at 25 he appears to be seriously in trouble (or has gone some place where i clearly cannot follow); i'd say the sparkle was gone as they say and he was talking what sounded like more or less cryptic nonsense... SAD!

i see you're finally leaving the mid-twenties... only an advantage on this board and i hope also anywhere else in life herzlichen glueckwunsch zum geburtstag!

wow, that's a strong assessment (not knowing how you like other coltrane)... are they available on cd? I don't know if they're available on CD. I'm sure someone will be able to tell us. As to my liking for/familiarity with Coltrane, I have 10 LPs and 3CDs and - yes - those three tracks are the ones I'd grab if the house started burning! I have a musician friend who knows his Coltrane well and he's of the same opinion. i'll be on the lookout...

ah, that might explain much, talking of things that might explain much, thought of you when i stumbled across this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welteislehre concerning business with young people, how much are the percy france and the dave schildkraut cds including shipping to overhere?

(being 26 years old myself... funny story, wanted to post this off topic on another thread recently but why not here... when i worked in that place for retired people one morning during breakfast (when my colleague just read a story about some young criminals from the newspaper) the woman i was just feeding said very thoughtfully "some day we will need someone like Hitler again, but this time he should go for the young people..." one of only two instances where i almost forgot that we were supposed not to take seriously what these people were saying)

maybe we can all agree concerning bass players

wow, that's a strong assessment (not knowing how you like other coltrane)... are they available on cd?

great story... wish they had sound samples! http://thejazzmasters.org/page4.html

Pooh gosh, that IS obscure! Is it available on the Continent? MG Fopp in Cambridge has it for 12 pounds... should have gotten it but now i'm back home... (btw, reading record store recommendations on the web for cambridge i got the impression that the fopp there can't be that old (meanging it probably didn't coexist with all the shops recommended on the web which are gone by now ....) it was a lively place, lots of possibly fine stuff there in the 2-5 pound range....

four horns had me think of Tony Fruscella's great selftitled album..

As I was leaving the guy behind the counter told me that they are getting 6000 records delivered between the two stores tomorrow. seems you already made it to their vip list

ok, Prelude is now getting its second chance (more accurately, the first three minutes get a second chance, the rest gets a first chance)... just hate it when i leave a shop having bought something just because it was cheap, thinking for just 1 or 2 pounds more you could have gotten something you really wanted... (say, Andrew Hill's Judgement) but then, three pounds total for the three albums (two of them influential) can't really be a bad deal...

i feel my first credit card is coming nearer as well, always avioded one for reasons of (lack of) self-control... while in britain i bought much more diverse stuff than i usually buy, guess because there was a half-decent brick and mortar store (Fopp) and buying there always leads to other results, and there was this nice sale of whatmusic albums at 4 pounds... 23 pounds well spent on Jacques & Micheline Pelzer - Song for Rene Open Sky Unit - Open Sky Unit Vitor Assis Brasil - Tajeto (the winner of the bunch so far) The very best of Ethiopiques (2CD) Beth Orton - Central Reservation (first cd of pop music i bought in quite some time; i used to really like "Stars all seem to weep", smoother than i had remembered but some nice songs) 7 pounds i should maybe have avoided Deodato - Prelude Deodato 2 Deodato/Airto in Concert (haven't listen to most of the three so far) Paulo Moura Hepteto - Fibra

Not a slide trumpet. Don't know much about clarinets. We should all listen to more slow things, IMHO! sorry, i should have been clearer: "chalumeau" is the name of the low register on a clarinet (the warm, woody one), not of a type of clarinet. so my notes just said the guy played in the low register. i don't even know why i wrote that down. actually, a chalumeau is a musical instrument in its own right, (and a type of clarinet if you want, it's wooden and has a single reed...); not a type of clarinet you would expect to hear on a 20th century (or 21th century) jazz recording however... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalumeau (and besides that there is of course the other meaning of the word which you used... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalumeau_%28disambiguation%29 )

click on options in the upper right corner of the fist post in some thread; change display mode from outline to normal; this happens often when you have entered organissimo via google...

maybe the perfect thread to confess: the "r" and the letters surrounding it do not work properly on my computer's keyboard anymore so please do not get upset if ome of them are missing in my posts... will turn 27 soon, last birthday before i am closer to approaching 30 than to being mid-twenties

Female, very much so. Which is why it's so funny that gangsta rapper Ice-T's real name is Tracy. I suppose that's the 'T'. Tracy or Tracey (form of Thracius (masculine) or short for Teresa/Theresa (feminine)) also Traci, Tracie----wiki Female with stats to prove it!!...why do they bother to find out Tracy View names similar to Tracy (male, female, anagrams) Population Statistics for Tracy Tracy is primarily a girls' name, but it is used for boys 19.39 percent of the time. Total* Population in Top 1000: 307775 (19.39% male, 80.61% female) [source] Popularity of the name Tracy for Boys First Year in the Top 1000: 1880 (earliest year for which we have data) Last Year in the Top 1000: 2000 Average Age: 42.10 Highest Percentage: 0.195% in 1966 Best Rank: #98 (in 1966) Represented in the Top 1000 names in: 116 of 127 years (91.34%) Total* Male Population in Top 1000: 59664 oh my god there is even a graph www.nameplayground.com/Tracey thanks again (female was right in that particular case (no individual data for secretaries available, i guess, but i could imagine that the picture looks clearer there))

you sure have provided great reading... but then, i didn't ask you anything

no idea about the seller, shipping etc but a copy of the Gloria Coleman LP is available here http://www1.gemm.com/item/GLORIA--COLEMAN-...N/GML465325848/ (btw i just ordered a copy of this one's for ja too )

no time to google more right now, but moore is on this 2000 yusef lateef record: http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/...ond+The+Sky.htm this recent article sounds like they are still alive http://www.semja.org/jan2008/index.html

here is the discographical entry (from the gloria coleman leader discography at www.jazzdiscography.com) have you dug out the woody shaw quotes where he cites your dad as an important influence? just google "woody shaw" "james anderson" iirc he mentioned your dad in several inteviews

wish i could help you more... i recently bougt jimmy ponder's album jump which features a tenor player Jimmy Anderson who i guess is your dad ("JA teaches in the Newark public school system" it says in the liner notes) it can still be had cheaply from some amazon sellers http://www.amazon.com/Jump-Jimmy-Ponder/dp...1992&sr=8-1 (so don't forget to buy copies for your future grandchildren ) it's a fine cd with several nice solo spots for JA.... looking at this amg listing there seem to be two more albums, one by gloria coleman, one by freddie roach, that feature him http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...gzftxqy5ld6e~T4 neither is readily available but both reviews say a nice word about your dad... edit: sorry link does not work and i can't fix it, the albums are Freddie Roach's My People (Soul People) and Gloria Coleman's My Organ Sings and Swings look up the reviews on www.allmusic.com...

haven't even heard sound clips and it's not really from the 70s or bastards but i immediately thought rooster_ties when i saw this cd Nils Wogram's Nostalgia - Affinity organ trio with Wogram on trombone, Florian Ross (who recorded several nice cds as a pianist for Naxos in the late 90s) on organ and drummer Dejan Terzic http://www.nilswogram.com/ has soundclips which i cannot play at work... (the second cd by the group)

another pm

That Hayes is a good one! Scored lucky at a used music store on the way home from work: Eugen Cicero - Swinging the Classics on MPS (3CD) Art Blakey - Live at Club St. Germain 1958 (2CD) Clayton / Tate - Buck & Buddy (OJC) And all that for roughly 25 euro-zlotys! And upon arriving home, the latest CDU package was waiting, as well (Art Pepper's "The Way It Was" and "Smack Up" plus the JSP Eddie Lang 4CD box) Not a bad day... (except for the wasted 9 hours spent at work before) sounds like a great day!
