no hammond but lots of 70s charm (also if you're into guys with beards) Kovács Kati - Az eső és én feat. Szabó Gábor

This is the chap for whom Ravel wrote the concerto, I believe. [There were various other relatively well-known commissions for Wittgenstein as well!] AFAIK Paul Wittgenstein never performed the concerto Ravel had written for him ... see my post above, guess you're confusing it with the concerto prokofiev wrote for wittgenstein from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Concert...and_%28Ravel%29

we did have several such threads actually, http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=9122 but this is not the one i remembered

I got my copy of Groovadelphia!
Niko replied to Dan Gould's topic in organissimo - The Band Discussion
tonight i dreamed i called jim alfredson to order groovadelphia, his wife was on the phone saying "do you know what time it is?", i thought about it for a moment and noticed that in america it was still in the middle of the night (and felt very bad about waking up the children), so i ordered groovadelphia and the two other organissimo cds... guess on friday i'll know a bit more about who will pay me what in the next one and half years... will place an order soon...(at least if friday's results are half decent) -
the one thing i really don't get about the select is the inclusion of along came john... wasn't that easily available at the time the select came out (as it is now)? if they'd put in the first session from accent on the blues, instead of along came john, for instance, the select would have been everything that came out back in the day minus what was easily available on single cds (= along came john, got a good thing going and let em roll...) another inclusion that would have made more sense imho would have been harold vick's steppin out instead of along came john for instance...

Otherwise, Dave sounded a lot like Bird on tenor. Am I right? will take the cue and put on schildkraut on tenor now (from the schildkraut cd, which allen might still be selling?), definitely recall him sounding very fine on it

guess i indeed know the stories much better than the poems (though i have seen a number of them...) will give them another chance...

from paul wittgenstein's wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Wittgenstein somewhere i read that if people said "wittgenstein" before WWII they meant paul and not ludwig... in that same place i read about the massive amount of money (a really large figure) they inherited from their dad, ludwig didn't take it, but paul used it to buy these compositions... from their dad's wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Wittgenstein of the five sons, three commited suicide ealry on while the remaining two became really famous... fasincating family... since klimt came up earlier today elsewhere, here's margaret:

don't know much poetry funny, WC Williams would have started my list as well, Tzvataeyeva i don't know, Mayakovsky, Catullus (still disclaimer on spelling) were two of the few poets i checked out and liked quite a bit... but brecht i never got, he's so teacher-like and always has these cheap "catchs" (?"hooks"? what do you call them?) at the end of his texts (i did like bits and pieces here and there - but with brecht you never know who the actual author was) from his generation i much prefer gottfried benn... a few weeks ago i was at a reading where several people between 50 and 60 from eastern germany were reading, they were pretty good, but with every single one of them it was evident they came from a world where brecht had been all over the place looking at ejp's list, had been wondering this before: is there some sort of consensus that ferlinghetti is the one of the beat poets that stood the test of time (i just know the fine poem about the dog, not a good description)

do warne marsh and hans koller count? (or is that konitz-influenced tenor playing?), and hank mobley?

What is a good website developer program?

haven't seriously tried this myself but the first results didn't look bad...:why not start a blog? -

slightly off topic, anyone out there who really believes, that, say, almost the complete riverside output will ever be sold as downloads... (say, who believes that at some point in the next 30 years both the paul serrano and the lenny mcbrowne album on riverside will be made available for download by the owners?) i definitely can't see them getting this stuff out of iron mountain and up for download at this point...

besides vinyl under coats, there always were home-made cassette copies of albums....

Niko replied to AllenLowe's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
interesting you mention chest pain, my girlfriend has been taking (an equivalent of) protonix for three weeks now and we had already suspected that the strong chest pain she has is not from the actual illness but a side effect of protonix (experimenting with leaving away protonix for a day or so which didn't work out well otherwise - still not clear what disease she actually has...) (other of the announced side effects like headache and, don't know the word but it's not too bad..., are there - but then again they could have other sources as well) could i maybe have the link of that web page you mentioned? -
often over the last months, while this site was loading i had the vision that this thread would be there... my favorite tenor player

ANYTHING jazz related, in a NON-JAZZ context...
Niko replied to Rooster_Ties's topic in Miscellaneous Music
in the tv series Dawson's Creek,, Pacey's brother Doug has a poster of the BN Rare Groove Series in his appartment... (and like 10 minutes later there was another out of place thing related to something pretty cool but i forgot what) -
last time i looked kind of blue was still in print... though admittedly you're probably the best address for an mp3 vinyl rip of it

got a letter, please apply again in 3009, better than nothing but not very useful at the moment...

Andorra is not a full member of the European Union, but has a special relationship with it. Ah - OK. Never quite been sure. A special relationship such that regulations concerning copyright have 'Direct Effect'? maybe i am overlooking something here... but if andorra had a different copyright legislation from the EU until now (btw, do we know this for certain?) why should this change just because the EU change their legislation...
