  1. posted before but as it is a highly unusual pairing (afaik) pharoah sanders and david sanborn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgBVWx_1TKs
  2. When I hit the link, I got a "your session timed out" message. MG Same thing here. same here but a search for john patton leads to this entry: Type of Work: Music Registration Number / Date: PAu001722201 / 1993-02-24 Title: Amleht suite : movements 1-5. Description: 6 p. Notes: Music. Copyright Claimant: John E. Patton, 1935- Date of Creation: 1992 Variant title: Amleht suite : movements 1-5 Names: Patton, John E., 1935- ================================================================================ five movements on six pages whateve that means...
  3. well then "many of you" should realize that CDs have been around for 20+ years now and adapt yourselves to the current reality. all of us grew up having to sit through commercials on TV too, but it doesn't take long with a DVR (or a VCR) to realize you can fast forward through them. do you walk out of concerts after 20 minutes also? you don't want to know how often i've tried to fastforward commercials while watching ordinary tv... not much to add, i prefer 40 minutes and 7 tunes but if the artist has good reasons to deviate that's fine with me... if cds are much longer however for me they often lose the album feel and rather feel like a bunch of music (nothing wrong with that, badly described), for older jazz i like the idea of listening to one session at a time...
  4. oh, names remembered correctly, but wrong label and only vaguely similar design, so not a series... thank you!
  5. !happy birthday!
  6. allmusic says frank gauna...? isn't there at least one other album in a similar design? can't find any but vaguely recall zoot sims or sonny stitt... maybe not...
  7. happy birthday! hope you had a great evening with randy weston yesterday, a fine day today and an even better year to come...
  8. another one, not new orleans though, from www.danieljacksonmusic.com Froebel Brigham, Leon Petties, William Doty, Fred Jackson, Haold Land 1949
  9. Movin' Along features James Clay on flute if I remember correctly... don't have the cd here right now; indeed clay plays flute except on like one track (and montgomery plays electric bass on a number of tunes - maybe that contibutes to the weird sound as well...)
  10. from the track list it looks a lot (but not exactly - round about midnight...) like the fine riverside album movin along
  11. doesn't sound like his thread will help you, but who knows http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=38693 maybe searching the board more may help more...
  12. i tend to call that number zero - matter of personality i guess

    one track is on the BOSTON: Jazz in Beantown 1951-1955 compilation from sagajazz, see www.sagajazz.com for details http://www.amazon.com/Boston-Beantown-1951...3269&sr=8-2
  14. i vaguely get what you mean; would you say, playing a lottery (together with a million others and only one of us gets a price) is a 50-50 situation for each of us, because each of us either wins or loses... ? Although that's in no way comparable to the singular experience of the game show in question...no I would not say that. Because in the lottery, it's a matter of "if I win, then XYZ number of people must lose". On the game show, the question is simply "will I win or will I lose". There are no other competitors. as i said, i think i partly understand and can appreciate you argument, people tend to take statistics to seriously... but then i think it is strange to make such a huge difference between a lottery where one person (out of a million) must win and, say, a random generator which gives you the price with a probability of one in a million... does the guy in Oklahoma who ends up with the money in the first case really make that much of a difference (turning a 50-50 opportunity into a one in a million thing)...

  16. so if you have a disease that, say, kills 90% of those who have it within one year; and then you get a possibility to exchange this disease against one that only kills 2% within that same year, you wouldn't do it? (you may argue that this type of thing doesn't happen too often) when people tell me i shouldn't be afraid of flying because the odds that something will happen are ... (very good number), i always say it doesn't impress me because i will fly only once and when the disaster happens i won't care how unlikely it was... but in that goat thing where you can really improve the odds its stupid not to do so, (again, that's like taking a motorcycle ride although you don't enjoy it if you could have walked instead)
  17. belated happy birthday!

    http://www.wmg.at/programm_e.htm couldn't find out much about it but under November 10, you see the concert Zieff gave in Vienna five month ago...
  19. And personally, I like playing in bars without that shit making the air unbreathable. And coming home smelling like somebody's ashtray (not to mention the smell of all my gear, and thus my vehicle, etc.) I can sympathise. I hate that atmosphere, too, and I'm a smoker! MG same here, happy about the smoking ban despite being a smoker (was however pissed to notice yesterday that the 10 squaremeter smoking area outside at the train station has been removed...) (big thing in the newspaper here yesterday, "the first victim of the smoking ban", a 60 year old pub owner had hanged himself, claiming that with the smoking ban in force nobody came to his pub anymore)
  20. not forgetting that one, no no... currently at a point where i have to concentrate a bit to know all the cds that are on their ways here, but of course, the clarke won't be around for long...
  21. Looks like you grabbed it, Jim. Well done. Let us know what it's like idc, won't you? MG can't play it at work, so no idea whether it's longer than 10 seconds, but this shop here has a sound sample http://www.jetsetrecords.net/en/product/162517228001
  22. a great year for him (and also nice from the labels that all the paris stuff (except for that one session which is not out on cd?) is available easily on just 5 cds without any doubling (two vogue, two jazz in paris and the americans swinging in p) (not so easy for the 1958 paris stuff iirc) ok, i just ordered the vogue volume i was still missing... (more accurately i ordered the second of two older cds, street scenes and lucky sessions which collect (a rearrangement of) the two vogue volumes plus some gigi gryce material...)
