just in case anyone else is interested, just saw this page (the official ben webster homepage) has a detailed discography http://www.benwebster.dk/

our boss just told us we will have to do stuff together on like every second weekend in the next few months... he was worried since one of our chinese colleagues had joined some Christian group... i mean, i can't help finding it pretty cool to work in a place where going to church is seen as a sign of being in deep trouble (not that anyone would tell her); but still, i liked my old weekends...

People say that they want to be free They look at him and they look at me But it's only themselves they're wanting to see And everybody knows about it We talk all night and we're all turned on We believe we heard him singing his song Telling us all there was work to be done And everyone sung a chorus of I am the walrus Yes Disneyland has come to town Everyone's dressed and standing around Alice is wearing her sexiest gown But she doesn't want you to look at her Beautiful people are queuing to drown They wait for the lifeguard to put on his crown But he's up at the other end of town Trying to talk to the mirror The scientist talks and he knows what he means He sits on the floor and has beautiful dreams Then he gets brought down by a woman who screams But he knows it's only a record… Oh yes it is His brave new girl stops feeding the ants And looks at him with her septic pants She still knows how to make him dance And forget about emancipation… it's just imagination And you and I we sit and hum We know something's got to come And get us off our endless bum There's probably one in the bathroom Or even in the hall I don't know anymore than you do In fact I don't know anything at all strange i always heard "busniland" instead of "disneyland"

stange story, sometime last year i talked to a flea market seller (who had exactly on jazz cd, a woody herman best of, the keith jarrett cd was already sold and) who had a job at WDR about archive material being deleted by the radio stations; he told me something along the lines of "i ran into gigi campi recently, maybe you've heard of him, and he told me he had looked into the WDR archives recently and all (?!) the stuff he had produced was deleted"... hope this is not too true...

thank you! on youtube it says 1988, both of Stewart's JMT albums fom that period feature similar line-ups and are easily available... http://www.bobstewartuba.com/

happy birthday!

Desert Sands from Wilbur Ware's The Chicago Sound

I never heard of this one. Anyone have any details? MG any details are relatively easy to find... The Legendary Jimmy McGriff Live at SMOKE Golden Note Records 2006 from guitarist Chris Vitarello's homepage http://www.chrisvitarello.com/index.html strangely enough i couldn't find anything more - maybe one should email vitarello

Rhoda Scott or is she to young or did i miss something? also Eddy Louiss if he isn't too white...

sounds like you you should be able to fix that by experimenting with your ignore list

happy birthday!

!happy birthday!

this was posted on the west coast jazz list earlier today

impressed...

just out of curiosity (if MG says it, it will be true...) would Horace Silver make the 200 inessential but rather enjoyable soul jazz albums list?

didn't listen to a lot of music this week... A Subtle One from Jimmy Smith - Midnight Special

i just counted and i only have 15 of these... what did i do wrong? (no woody shaw on the list, no kenny dorham)

wanted to(and will) post something similar, the version of Congo Chant from Patton's Blue Planet Man... don't know the original version though...; i really like zorn and ed cherry with patton so i guess i'll have to get minor swing as soon as i find an affordable copy... great idea for a thread!

They realize it. Ebay knows exactly what it's doing. Shill bidding, especially when it's hard to detect, is most definitely to ebay's advantage. Definitely. And now they don't have to worry about amateur detectives uncovering the shenanigans. It stinks. stupid question... why does it help to know that someone is a shill bidder? (i mean if someone bids more than you want to pay, the item is gone no matter what the motivation is...) is it because you want to avoid the seller in the future?

this is ebays new privacy thing... if you outbid someone he will also think he's outbid by p***a and the like (strangely enough they even use the same code for different bidders in an auction (don't think the start and end letters are from the real handle, but i am not sure

rip discography from his webpage http://www.halsteinjazz.com the last cd is available for instance via www.jpc.de additionally he has a quartet album on cdbaby http://cdbaby.com/cd/halsteinquartet

got two "classic" blue note cds during lunch break at zweitausendeins (did i mention we have this new store ) Jimmy Smith - Midnight Special Donald Byrd - Slow Drag (i wondered did i really need another byrd record given that i hardly listen to the ones i own... first impression indicates buying this was exactly the right decision..)

imho there is something wrong with the nominations in the category "best website"
