  1. 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...
  2. 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
  3. whatever this reveals about my job here are two mor things with diaz mena Katherine Dunham The Singing Gods. Drum Rhythms of Haiti, Cuba et Brazil http://www.ritmacuba.com/CDDunham.html and this mysterious looking thing, a movie? Conjunto de Bongoceras de Antonio Díaz Mena Santo contra los zombies (1962) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2461954/
  4. guess i indeed know the stories much better than the poems (though i have seen a number of them...) will give them another chance...
  5. 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:
  6. 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)
  7. do warne marsh and hans koller count? (or is that konitz-influenced tenor playing?), and hank mobley?
  8. haven't seriously tried this myself but the first results didn't look bad...:why not start a blog?
  9. Blue Note Lost Sessions Conn for 7 Euro including shipping on ebay
  10. 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...
  11. besides vinyl under coats, there always were home-made cassette copies of albums....
  12. cool, thank you! is what i was thinking, too... but it seems to be the case
  13. 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?
  14. often over the last months, while this site was loading i had the vision that this thread would be there... my favorite tenor player
  15. sorry for the delay... !happy birthday marcel!
  16. 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)
  17. 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
  18. got a letter, please apply again in 3009, better than nothing but not very useful at the moment...
  19. 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...
  20. can only confirm this, thinking about the kids in rock bands i used to know like ten years ago (when i was a kid who somtimes helped out in bands when a saxophone was needed) (and many kids were in rock bands) most of them viewed rock as some sort of continuum from the sixties on (with some horrible things having happened in the seventies) and listened to all those decades (and i do know dozens of people my age or younger who had the Who or the Beatles or Hendrix as their favorite artists for long until starting to listen to newer stuff... (my own younger brother for instance, no idea where he got the exposition, not from me and not from our parents...)) and buying vinyl was often enough a cheap option
  21. don't think they'll be affected... btw on my james moody/kenny barron argo/lonehill twofer i noticed a strange writing... "licensed by Long Horn inc. D.L. AND 174-2007 - made in the EU Cover & inside booklet photos: x" whatever that means (lh=lonehill=longhorn...?) almost sounds as if they "licensed" it from an Andorrean company who got it out of public domain and then printed it in spain....
  22. well, i do treasure my dad' lp collection, only about 10 lps though, which he hadn't spun in the last 25 years of his life... guess i will also take a few hundreds of his books (his obsession) when my mum wants to get rid of them... but i do feel a bit crazy because of it... (i mean, i am fairly interested in philosophy, sociology and linguistics, i have indeed read three or four of his linguistics books and a bit more of the philosophy ones (don't see me doing that in he future though)... but then again do i really need 500 fairly interesting sociology books from the 1970s-1990s (most of which are again worth pretty much nothing))
  23. just in case you ever wondered what fausto papetti looked like himself (he's the guy with the baritone saxophone)
  24. thread about the lorez alexandria argo album for swingers only... reissued by dusty groove http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...amp;mode=linear larry curly moe said he'd ask them about yusef at cranbrook... wonder what became of that
