Niko

i only have two of them, "Kenny Dorham's" Soul Support, which contains the Rocky Boyd album and the Dave Bailey album that features KD minus one track, Osmosis, (but including the trio tracks without KD)... so a bunch of excellent music for the money, though, of course, i'd have preferred two cds with alternate takes... and the Charles Tolliver Loorsdrecht album, no complaints about that one (except that the sound sucks on both cds, but that may have been the case already on the black lion releases; and that they look ugly and that the liner notes would have been better if i'd written them and that means something...)

titles that are available elsewhere in their complete context? (looking at the track list, the final ben webster titles seem to be part of a Black Lion album i have, There is no greater love...) ... should i get it?

i've been wondering about this item here... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-Tenors-Don-B...6128&sr=8-2 is it a compilation? is anything complete on it, like one complete album plus other stuff, or...? thanks in advance!

!!happy birthday!!

could it be that joe guy really hasn't discussed on this board (just writing this post so that i can search for it...) edit: from google i see there is this thread http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=5803 why doesn't a search for "joe guy" deliver it? especially as i can find it searching for "Lawrence Lucie"

is there any way to find out which post it was?

i always thought that the percentage of really talented people who spent their lives creating "better jazz" or "better classical music" is not as large anymore as it used to be, i am not saying that there were no single people who are tremendously talented in these fields anymore, what i want to say is something like, if all the great jazz musicians who were between 1920 and 1930 would have been reborn, say between 1950 and 1960 or between 1975 and 1985 only few of them would have become jazz musicians again... (no idea what they'd done instead) similar thing i believe ís true (even truer) for classical music in 20th century... this may seem offtopic to some again but i saw a young jazz singer on television recently, in one of these casting shows, and the moderator said, in a rather neutral way, he found it brave of her to try to compete with the others singing such an unpopular genre, and she said "well, i just like it when a song has more than 5 chords in it"... does she really count chords until she knows whether she likes a song... many people become jazz musicians for very dubious reasons these days and others who might have been great jazz musicians did something else (and then again, a very famous mathematician told me that he had never thought about studying mathematics (he wanted to become a poet) until he took a rorschach test after finishing high school http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach_inkblot_test of course, dubious reasons don't necessary imply that the results are not great)

Thanks Niko, still hope then. the disturbing part is that it says 192 pages... on the amazon.com page it says 400 pages and May 2008 http://www.amazon.com/Covers-Taschen-Sprin...5471&sr=8-1

have posted this elsewhere, but a sample track as part of a radio broadcast from the Reece Futura album is found here http://dizzyreece.blogspot.com/2005/02/jaz...ogram-wbgo.html i think it is track 14, as (if i remember this correctly) an annotated version of the same thing is found here (scroll down a bit) http://www.christopherporter.com/2005/02/d...deux-after.html edit: just to help my own memory, maybe someone else will find it interesting as well, pretty informative site on Magma and related issues... http://members.aol.com/sleeplessz/index.htm

amazon.de gives an issue date of March 2008... http://www.amazon.de/Jazz-Covers-Joaquim-P...6141&sr=8-1

Happy Birthday!!

no reason to apologize but ... some part of me seriously believes that Pete Doherty is the greatest songwriter of my generation

probably you haven't overlooked Jackie McLean's Demon's Dance but just in case...; easier to overlook and equally essential Sonny Simmons Complete ESP Recordings available at great prices right now and really not more advanced than advanced hard bop

not much new stuff all in all but some... some Verve and Impulse reissues for 4,99 some ACT cds from 1,99 to 3,99 (for instance Jack Walrath's Mingus tribute...)

some time ago i watched a tv documentary about neonazis in eastern germany... the image that stuck with me was some fat hairless 21 year old drinking canned beer in his bed while listening to ravel's bolero and telling the interviewer something like "i don't know what the future will be but it will sure be national" (don't know the exact statement but he did use "national" in that way...) So what? heh, you are trying to spot me making off topic posts... admittedly, this time you are closer than last time... listening to the bolero in school for like three hours was one of the dullest experiences of my school days, that tv documentary helped me quite a bit getting over this, (i might say "putting the bolero where it belongs", dull people)... besides that: so what!

took me some time to get this post...

happy birthday!

4575... if i now quit smoking again...

one of the rare cases where nobody in the thread said this was great (just ordered it anyway) have played telefunken blues three times today, and really like it (actually, nice surprise, unknowingly i bought some cheapo italian reissue which instead of liner notes adds Milt Jackson's Jackson's Ville album... ) Frank Morgan is much much here better than i had expected!

merry christmas to all of you!

i always used it as "if i recall correctly" (not that my english were so refined that i would make a difference between the two)

Why restrict to disabled people? And yes, you're way off topic. hey, i'm just testing the new moderator thing...

I don't think your friend is funny, actually I think he is an idiot and, probably, unconsciously nazi, (Hitler was vegetarian AND sent disabled in extermination camps). And maybe mentally disabled, so if I were him, I wouldn't joke about such things with hungry non vegetarians. One never knows. Please don't take it personally, nothing against you Niko or vegetarians, but I heard better arguments in favour of vegetarianism. BTW what has to do your friend's opinion and behavior with the subject of this thread ? edit: and your post might have offended some of the fellow members with disabled relative. and the organissimo gig at the steak house is gone... this is a counter argument against arguments like "i eat it because it can't do maths" or "i eat it because it can't talk" (to me these experiments show that most of these arguments (and you really do hear them when you ask people why it is ok for them to eat meat and do other not so nice things to animals) are very thin (not that i didn't think so before) and there i see the connection to the subject of this thread) my (and my friend's i guess) position is that it's not ok to kill other animals (human or not human, disabled or not), no matter whether you want to eat or just exterminate them... for us the question whether it is ok to eat disabled people doesn't come up... (obviously it's not ok, i'd say) if you ask me why i eat plants, i can only say, it's because i am an inconsequential bastard (the same thing i was saying when i was still eating meat); edit to add: put differently i don't have a convinving argument for another place where one should draw the line between who one should eat and who not; i just think that 1) if one doesn't know what's right it's better to draw the line in a more conservative way (talked to a chinese colleague recently who says she can't eat dog anymore now that she has lived here for several years and has seen the personal relationships people have with their dogs; similar for horses...) 2) people who say the line belongs between humans and animals (or between humans plus some animals and the other animals) don't have convincing arguments although many of them think what they are doing is the obvious thing to do unconsciously nazi... who isn't?
