    Futura Label

    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
  2. amazon.de gives an issue date of March 2008... http://www.amazon.de/Jazz-Covers-Joaquim-P...6141&sr=8-1
  3. Happy Birthday!!
  4. no reason to apologize but ... some part of me seriously believes that Pete Doherty is the greatest songwriter of my generation
  5. 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
  6. 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...)
  7. 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!

  9. took me some time to get this post...
  10. 4575... if i now quit smoking again...
  11. 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!
  12. merry christmas to all of you!
  13. 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)

  15. Why restrict to disabled people? And yes, you're way off topic. hey, i'm just testing the new moderator thing...
  16. 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?
  17. a fellow vegetarian friend of mine likes to argue that there is no convincing reason not to eat disabled people when you think its ok to eat animals (especially given that human meat should optimally fulfill your own body's needs) (of course you can always argue that you don't care whether your eating habits are morally correct, you just like the taste of pork better than that of a disabled child)
  18. saw a documentary on television where some monkey was supposed to get something to eat out of some complicated box-type thing... when the candy had fallen into some obstacle (and the experiment was formally over) the monkey went to the other room to get a screwdriver, removed the screws from the experiment set-up and finally got his candy...
  19. no idea on your questions but a warm welcome from this side
  20. in the mail today another fine OJC Wilbur Ware - The Chicago Sound and side products of yesterdays chritmas shopping from various brief looks into cut out bins and the like, everything rather cheap but nothing i'd have bought otherwise Walt Weiskopf - Man of Many Colors Ran Blake' Horace Silver tribute album Klezmatics - Rhythm 'n' Jews
  21. "I will, I will go to a house That's, that's what I will do I will go to a house..." now tell me that's not what you'll be doing...
  22. the ike quebec album (blue & sentimental) is a very good album ... has grant green as a sideman ! pflichtkauf ! wenn die pflichten so aussehen: gerne!

    Curtis Counce

    there are also the final three tracks of the Elmo Hope Connoisseur CD with Hope, Land, Butler, Vinnegar and Stu Williamson on trumpet (and finally Harold Land's the Fox with Hope, Land, Butler plus Dupree Bolton on trumpet and Herbie Lewis on bass...)
  24. a lot in those batches for me, Jutta Hipp with Zoot Sims has the same Sims/Lloyd frontline as Zoot Sims goes to Jazzville which I like so much..., the redd album was on my wishlist for long, as was the silver; will certainly check out one or two louis smith; hutcherson seems like a good idea, too, and as i've been listening a lot to the two ike quebec records i already have, i already see myself not buying everything i want from these batches...
