i've gone to that used cd store for like 10 years and the only thing i ever bought was "live for the moment" by willy schwarz (not recommended), used to be the crappiest cd store in town, recently essentially all the other closed; then someone must have unloaded there a real nice collection, hope he's doing well... their pricing policy is pretty random except when they know the artist by name (say, anything by chet baker starts at 15 Euro) already got trippin with cal green, tapscott dial b for barbra, randy weston at monterey, doug carn adam's apple, charles williams grass and trees and things, valdo williams new advanced jazz... (in two bunches couldn't make it for four weeks, nothing i had put back was gone...) (not many cds from that guy, at most 30 but pretty focused)...

seems it's time to start the "do you have a beard" poll...

it's that time of the year again... tommorow i might come by this used cd store, and most likely they will still have the following japanese cds Joe Farrell - Outback Roy Brooks - Town Hall 1974 (Baystate with Marcus Belgrave, Sonny Red...) Paul Jeffrey - Paul Jeffrey (i think that's what it's called, the mainstream album that has Paul Jeffrey in pink letters on blue ground) Shamek Farrah/Sonelius Smith - The World of the Children they are all around 10 euro which i guess is a pretty good price but i've bought a lot lately so say if i want to buy just one... which one should it (not) be? thanks in advance!

happy birthday!

if this is really the survey used for this study i am either worried or impressed (the thing can't have found out how hard i am working) edit to add: put differently, i guess it's some other survey... the only lyrics i recognized were by amy winehouse and rihanna whatever that reveals about my listening habits what does hard-working mean and how do you find out whether someone is hard-working by asking questions

wonder whether "hard-working" people are just those who said they'd work hard and vice-versa (and now one might argue that how someone feels about his workload is more important than the actual size of it)(should probably say "workload in relation to ability" instead of just workload) i mean, you can probably find out in a survey whether someone is creative, or gentle without asking "are you gentle?" but (this is a real question) i wouldn't think this works out for hard-working (because neither what people say nor, say, their income can measure how hard someone works) and what about people who dare to listen to more than one type of music... guess i'll have to get the paper or i get nuts - this sounds so stupid....

guess i do have a high self-esteem but i am certainly not outgoing or at ease and of average creativity - maybe i should check out chart pop ever wondered what you'd be listening to if you lost your self-esteem and weren't at ease? (Bollywood) and if you then lose your creativity and starting working hard it becomes country and western if this article gives even a half-accurate picture of the paper it describes the paper must be pretty crappy

seconded, i mean, for politics stuff i don't really see it this way, in 2 years palin's daughter will be long forgotten (or the president's daughter but that's another story) but with the jazz stuff it is different... still kicking myself that i only quoted from that lengthy interview with mitch manker/daniel jackson about their times with ray charles instead of qouting it in full, link is dead now (of course what i really should have done is save it on my hard disk)

Thanks and welcome! seconded!

just found out cat anderson died the day i was born (ellington's birthday) enough for today...

another one according to wikipedia Sir Charles Thompson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Charles_Thompson one where i was surprised recently is Hal Singer

four brother Herbie Steward http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbie_Steward if he is still alive...

Strata East, Strata East, Strata East, Strata East, Strata East? anyone know how to count those five? (plus, a used cd shop here has children of the world on cd for 12 euro... should i pick it up?)

dang! thank you talking about what degrees mean...

25 and 141 what's the answer to this one? (and why)? Q: What is the missing number in the sequence shown below? 1 - 8 - 27 - ? - 125 - 216 A: 36 45 46 64 99

that version of portrait with thad jones as the soloist is my favorite piece in the small debut box, maybe very much of its time, but so colorful (complicated) and atmospheric

one track (black swan) was released on the debut records story 4CD set by fantasy http://www.amazon.com/Debut-Records-Story-...2647&sr=8-3 i like the (short) track quite a bit, it somehow is third stream but it doesn't come across very technical or classical, it's a bit like a march (haven't heard it in a while) a pretty interesting cd set (maybe i wouldn't get it just for one track - but then there are various interesting things on it... (john dennis, for instance is another artist worth checking out...)) i would buy manhattan monodrama!

the mitchells weren't really brothers? in this (pretty interesting) article, owens mentions being a student of billy mitchell btw, so that may have gotten him the gig http://www.ocweekly.com/2001-05-24/music/s...t-into-teacher/ (and there's also this bit about saxophonist daniel jackson who would also played with buddy rich in the late 60s) "Earl Soto, David Woods, Daniel Jackson and Johnny Price were all in the neighborhood. Daniel especially helped me. He'd share chord changes with me, give me little licks to play, let me scuffle and make mistakes. He's still in San Diego and still my mentor."

Wow - Reading the book I'd assumed it was an accurate recollection of what actually happened but your comments completely over-turn them. Amazing how we'd assumed that such things were 'gospel'. it's funny, having a co-author who gets the scientific thing right doesn't mean the musician can't tell bs... wouldn't have expected this either (though looking back at the other isoardi book i would say, while tapscott comes across as a serious person in many ways, it does not completely blow me away that the story is half made up) bottom line is, i guess, tapscott would have preferred to bring in lester robertson for dick nash etc but it didn't work out... (and this is what i would have guessed from the line-up anyway)

on first impression, the sound on the tracks from love and understanding is indeed a bit better, could be just a better needle drop however, sound is still far from great; just listening to the great cello passage at the beginning of gemini... these are great albums, thank you!!

was pretty surprised when i looked at the line-up of a diana krall cd (which my girlfiend had gotten fom one of her colleagues who tried to convince her that jazz is not crap... not mine) and noted charles owens name in there... Charles Owens was also with Buddy Rich in the Pacific Jazz days & with John Mayall in the Blue Mitchell days. from his faculty bio at ucla (Lorenz Alexander=Lorez Alexandria) http://www.ethnomusic.ucla.edu/people/owens.htm Owens has toured, performed and recorded with an impressive array of artists including Lorenz Alexander, Bobby Bryant, Terry Callier, John Carter, the Clayton-Hamilton Orchestra, Miles Davis, Marvin Gaye, Dave Grusin, Eddie Harris, Gladys Knight, James Newton, the Buddy Rich Band, and Barbra Streisand.

convinced; will go to zweitausendeins on monday and get the copy of gap sealer/love... that has been standing there for months.... (great photos, too, marcello! guess i have never said that so far)

besides individual players, i tend to look a lot at instrumentation, too; for instance, knowing that i listen to about five hours of piano trio a year i rather buy quartets and quintets... (same with big bands...)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich typical wikipedia, favorites are the hyperlinks on "world", "cafes", "picnics" and "packed lunch" (why not on "vegetables", "combination" "restaurants", "work" and "school") (on all word actually) and the [citation needed] in the end, scientific work at its best...
