  1. same thing with the two registers of the clarinet (?) (well, almost the same thing at least with an Oehler clarinet there are little differences don't know about Boehm; besides, of course i know what you mean)
  2. started on clarinet, took me years to realize everyone else had an easier time with their f's edit to add: don't you also play guitar (where all "registers" are different)?
  3. welcome to this board! glad you stumbled across my comment; of course you're right - given that i have tremendously enjoyed your recital for more than ten years - i should try some of your other stuff the next time i reactivate my clarinet playing... (advanced level... i will see what advanced level means, when i started playing Reciatal at age 14 this was about the hardest thing i could do technically, at 19 i could play Stravinsky half-decently and get some fun out of it (though mostly not when other people were around ) these days things don't look that bright...
  4. for tapscott i just counted 15 albums on nimbus west http://www.nimbuswest.com/ so as he has four or five albums elsewhere (Flying Dutchman not a major?) he's in You missed my edit - yes, he's made loads. So has Harper. MG how can you edit although it doesn't say so below the post? is that because you're a moderator? (or did i miss something?) edit to try

  6. don't the liner notes say so? gave that one to a friend two years ago and said he should give it back to me when i find the stuff he had lent me two years earlier... guess i should either rebuy or start searching for his stuff (sheet music to Nirvana Unplugged and Oasis Definitely Maybe) so i can get back my two "real books" the lockjaw album and the booklet of my Mose Allison compilation (which he has kept for over five years - he has certainly lost it) ordered two items cheaply from newbury via ebay which i didn't think i would find anymore Don Patterson - Dem New York Dues (already got the shipping notice) and the Lockjaw Davis twofer with Don Patterson
  7. that guy must lead a life free of sorrows...?
  8. great batch of records (recently lost my copy of Eastern Sounds it seems... will have to rebuy that soon, it's one of the records i need to have around) (just giving a first listen to a record you once recommend btw Woody Shaw's In my own sweet way... sounds like it will become one of my favorite shaw records)
  9. Odd first post on a jazz bulletin board... pulling up a 3 yr old thread about moving. If this isn't spam, welcome to the board! just a trick to make us to believe that he is not a Universal employee... watch out for his next posts! (welcome!) (and after all what do i need the most, promo for an American Moving company, promo for an Ella Fitzgerald compilation or promo for a smooth jazz record... probably the first (and for most posters here)... think what makes people here upset about promo spammers is that these merchandise people do not recognize our good tastes we are celebebrating in thousands of posts... if someone had recorded a new Dizzy Reece record and promoted it here (almost) nobody would mind i guess... that people who run a smooth jazz label are not willing to accept / able to see that what they are selling is substantially different from most of the music discussed here is what makes people angry... a moving company - weird)
  10. naming people who recorded just one album is cheating!
  11. And that's what I did... glad i finally did something useful today (cocredits to tommy_t for pointing out this great site)
  12. Du bist so schoen, du bist so toll, du bist der Niko aus Tirol.
  13. Thanks. I already passed the complain about public transport. Actually I don't know if they paid for translation, knowing my sister I doubt it. I'll pass also your remark. Thanks. if they didn't pay, don't pass it, it's really ok, it's just an awkward level of language proficiency a bit too good for a computer program or most foreigners but too bad to be commercial I'd say... nice site!
  14. very very sad to hear this didn't know the word mds but just looked it up, rare as it is, it is exactly the same thing my father had; (he didn't even get to the level where he would have gotten the bone marrow donation; will never forget how my lazy (or whatever you call it) aunt said she wouldn't check whether she was a possible donor because with her stomach flu she couldn't be a candidate anyway... didn't matter finally)
  15. did they pay for the german translation? (the text is perfectly ok (maybe even charming) but there are small mistakes in many sentences so if they paid something i'd be glad to make a list for a complaint ) the only hilly italy i've seen is south tyrol and i love it, another non-driver here, MG's suggestion concerning public transportation seems like a really good idea, for me this is often the most difficult part in planning a journey

    5 in a box

    Does the Mahavishnu have the remastered/bonus cut versions of the first two albums? In general, does this set have the best versions of the albums, or just straight reissues? tracklists: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Album-Cla...7594&sr=8-2
  17. the first frank strozier album on the Jazzland Twofer? (! imho)
  18. welcome unbelievable if that works ! (can't they try to, say, remember ip addresses?) (no idea of technical stuff on my side)
  19. no evans expert here, but if i got this right one (amazon.de) is single cd live at ronnie scott's on the dreyfus label while the other is a box set live at the village vanguard... Yes, you're right. Looking more closely, I see that the £1,006 item is a 6CD set, which I suppose goes some way to explain, though not justify, the price asked! Still a tad beyond my range, though! someone should grab that 55 Euro copy however while it's there...
  20. excited to have found this and it's not really worth a thread of its own... especially as many will already know this... if you search for something on amazon.com the search results include books that mention the search word, like a search for "Tony fruscella" yields http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_seeall_1...Ci%3Astripbooks mostly the famous kerouac quote but still a nice way to get some information together....
  21. no evans expert here, but if i got this right one (amazon.de) is single cd live at ronnie scott's on the dreyfus label while the other is a box set live at the village vanguard...
  22. this one? http://www.priceminister.com/offer/buy/198...ordings-CD.html or to make the point, if the item offered there for 55 Euro is really that thing: these extremely high prices for cds seem to be aimed at buyers who don't compare prices... compare: http://www.amazon.de/Enfin-Lou-Bennett/dp/...3476&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Enfin-Lou-Bennett/dp...3506&sr=8-1 lou bennett enfin for 200 Euro vs 84 $ on amazon.de and amazon.com marketplace (got my copy half a year ago at ebay.de for a 10 Euro buy it now price...) edit: or ist the turn out the stars cd this one? (16 Euro, 26 for new) http://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B000...3814&sr=8-1
  23. think this is my favorite of the strozier albums i've heard (followed closely by the riverside 2fer and then fantastic fs) don't miss it!
  24. these arrived already yesterday but didn't have time to test them until now (and even now it's only 10 minutes ) Johnny Hammond Smith - Black Coffee Lucky Thompson - Modern Jazz Group
  25. The best Italian Jazz Musician i ever saw live was definitively Rita Marcotulli with Dewey Redman in 1999
