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

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)...

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)

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...

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)

thank you Claude!

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...

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

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...)

rip, will pull out the oscar pettiford debut album tonight...

welcome!

only have the lucky thompson and really like it (more than my other 1956 lt paris stuff, one vogue disc and one jazz in paris...), the cd is very long (iirc), four sessions, all of which are great, a quartet with martial solal, a quintet with solal and fellow tenor guy lafitte, a quintet with henri renaud and emmett berry and (personal favorite) a piano-less quartet session led by guitarist Jean Pierre Sasson

not in my price range, not my medium and all, but just for the record (and in case anyone is interested) there is a used copy of a Marvin Cabell Solo Album called "Dream Images" on dustygroove http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=7b9...3Djohn%2Bpatton

Hey, thanks for listening! And pat yourself on the back. I was sorry Brownie had retired from the board, since I thought he was the most likely guy(or Lon) to do really well, but I doubt they could do any better! I thought there were only Bluenote 1955-65 folks here, but I guess there are a few weirdoes here who know the ancient stuff as well! more pats on the back from me, WOW! this was scary!

!happy birthday, allen!

that's what i did too in the beginning but i have (at least in my office, no idea whether this will work with other peoples setups...) "discovered" an alternative, i click on this black bar at the top of the picture (where it says "size reduced to 68%" or the like) then the pictue opens but is usually still to small to read... THEN there is some icon which appears when i move the mouse cursor around in the lower right corner of the image and when i click on it the picture is zoomed in and i can read it... (still surprised that it works)

ah, that's where the info was from (despite this missing detail i still recommend the other Baker bio by Jeroen de Valk); what i find remarkable is that Dameron remained the composer on so many of these (partly new?) compositions; was it because he (and his tunes) were more famous than Mundy, did this happen when the tapes were sold to prestige, was it because he had a stronger standing against Carpenter? or because he arranged Baker's recording with Carpenter; (or are others of his compositions issued as Carpenter's)...

Interesting that your Baker/Coleman/Lightsey album is called On a Misty Night. Mine is on Prestige and is called Boppin' With The Chet Baker Quintet. it's not the original album, the five(?) "...in' with the Chet Baker Quintet" albums were reissued by fantasy on three CDs called Stairway to the Stars, On a Misty Night and Lonely Star... Thanks as always, Niko, for your discographical input! I have five CDs (each of LP length) on Prestige called Boppin', Smokin', Groovin', Comin' On andCool Burnin'. Before the music is forgotten, I'll just add that they are so good, I felt I had to have all five! i am also glad that i have all three (and i was so hesitant about buying the first one i think i even started a thread about it...), George Coleman is great on them and i really like the material, not only the Dameron stuff but also many of the "Carpenter compositions" (someone posted they were by Jimmy Mundy...?)

(no idea how many percent of my posts are exactly this post, 20% maybe ) click on options in the upper right corner of the first post in some thread and change the disply mode from where it is now (outline?) to standard you probably got this when entering organissimo via google...

As for Braith and Wilkerson, why not try your luck in finding the Connoisseurs? Both 3 albums on 2 CDs, both nice packages, to me both not essential in any way, but pretty enjoyable (the Wilkerson somewhat less). The Vick is terrific, that's for sure! The others I'm not familiar with (except for The Big Gundown, but that's not a Patton sideman album either... Spillane I never heard, but again my curiosity is piqued here!) Let me know what you think of the Jordan and the Griffin (isn't the Griffin also on a Collectables CD? One of those where on the cover you get no information at all, rather dubious-looking - which is why I never cared to check it up on the internet so far...) the wilkerson connoiseur i haven't seen anywhere below like 50 Euro, so i guess chances of finding three japanese cds at a lower price are pretty good if i take my time... the braith connoiseur is more difficult a decision as it's about the same price as the laughing soul (or blue john, about 15 Euro)... so three albums with Billy Gardner (who i only know (and really like) as the pianist of that Dave Bailey/Grant Green thing with Frank Haynes... ) against one with Patton... will keep you informed on griffin and jordan...
