Probably Cecil Taylor. hint: it was posted in another thread within the last two days...

reminds me of the collection of drawings of sample paths of Brownian motion by as many probability theorists as possible which i never started...

Tapscott/Carter/Bradford - West Coast Hot spotted a used 9,99 Euro copy at amazon.de

i just prayed... (and then i added an extra prayer for chris albertson)

out of linguistic curiosity: are there other languages besides German where "to give up the ghost" (den Geist aufgeben) is a term for dying (though more common for cars than for humans)

Jackie's Bag. Pretty sure it doesn't have Mogie on it, but it's my favorite of Jackie McLean's albums of that time. i always thought of (the rvg with the three extra tracks of) this as a tina brooks album, i love it but wouldn't have compared it to leeway... but admittedly i always skip the first three tracks with Donald Byrd, thought they were boring but maybe i should give them a chance to grow on me...

maybe this is the right point in the thread to ask: if i like leeway, what else do i need? probably not moanin and the sidewinder... i'd guess Jackie McLean's Prestige Sessions are a little like this? the Kenny Dorham / Jackie Mclean albums come to mind, but what else...?

and the piano entry after the bass solo...

Yep. Happened to me at my grandfather's funeral. Believe me, I didn't consider it funny. at my grandfathers funeral we walked in the second row behind my uncle, my grandmother and my grandfather's favorite niece who were all hairdressers, hadn't met in some time and talked all the way from the church to the grave about new directions in coloring hair... it was funny though i didn't quite get that when it happened

1000000% in agreement here! I think that's what makes this date so disappointing: it sounds like Art Blakey is trying to be Art Taylor, as opposed to being the driving force that he normally is. Not a slam against A.T., who can forceful as well, because I love his style of drumming. But only HE can be A.T., whereas only Blakey can be Blakey. Blue Note trying to be Prestige was one of my first thoughts...

looks scary! here's the most scary picture of me available at the moment: http://www.adapmc07.enst.fr/Picture/highres/p1010002.jpg (not very scary i guess) Don't kid yourself, it is very scary. i had thought i was very lucky, the guy who took the photos at that conference, well, he was really a nice guy, but some of his pictures could seriously compete with ubu's passport photos... http://www.adapmc07.enst.fr/Picture/

got this two weeks or so ago, my first lee morgan record... i don't find it boring, but maybe i know what you mean... i had had the slight hope that the song "These are soulful days" (which i didn't know but the title...) would completely blow me away from the first listen on... it didn't the theme was somehow not exactly what i had hoped for and then that they (iirc... have it at work) start with a bass solo, and then the next two themes were not compelling enough to make up for that isappointment ... but the song has definitely grown on me, i and now after five or six listens i do remember what had initially bothered me (as i just did ) but can't really hear it any more... there are lots of things i haven't heard yet, but compared to many other hardbop records i do ear a certain urgency in it (the lack of which is maybe my biggest problem with a lot of hard bop records such as, say, the jazz messengers' moanin...) guess McLean has a lot to do with that... but again there is so many things i have not yet heard that i actually shouldn't post this...

Often misquoted, it was actually, "...plays with Big Skitch." new desktop background

but not with new IE (Version 7) at other work... problem is with old IE, then... sounds like that's the reason, also have 6 and i have it

took me some google... AWOL=Absent Without Official Leave

With eyes like that, you're bound to run into problems when the Paris police checks your card You'ld better bring dark sunglasses along: and get a second set of photos with sun glasses on? doesn't sound like the best way to stay out of trouble

looks scary! here's the most scary picture of me available at the moment: http://www.adapmc07.enst.fr/Picture/highres/p1010002.jpg (not very scary i guess)

LA Four - Two by Four (double cd with the albums watch what happens and live in montreux) cheap from a cheapo bookstore... on my way home i was afraid i had just spend money on something incredibly cheesy...(had no real idea what was expecting me) but now that it's up and running... two cds full of fine Bud Shank!

i did find the photos interesting and revealing, of course, young as i am, i have seen this and that over the years... admittedly i also thought that Auschwitz was a little like that for those who worked there, ate blueberries, met the love of their lives, whatever... (and if Auschwitz had just been what we see on these photos, people eating blueberries and feeding their dogs, nothing would have been wrong with it) i found these pictures were a great reminder of what the world we live in is like i have the strong feeling that all this will come back in one form or other, that people will always have these cruel, ignorant and stupid sides and that they will come out again more pronouncedly and more concentrated than they do these days; i don't think an additional reminder of the holocaust will prevent that but i would certainly not call it inappropriate... i see this is not a well-written post but i hope what i waned to say comes out clear enough (and is not too stupid)

on Lockjaw Davis - Trane Whistle (arranged by Nelson...) is the first version iirc

not many details as i guess you all know what i mean, the amazon "you might also enjoy" algorithm is the best example that this science is still at the very beginning (just because I got my girlfriend's sister that dance-pop single by a swedish soap-star which she wanted so much for her birthday a year ago, doesnt mean i want to by that type of thing all year round, i have bought loads of jazz cds since but the algorithm is still confused

then life is easy for you (but at least scholar helped you find out)!

Keep her around, Jim. Please. Mocking her constant focus on relaxing is very relaxing to me. So much so, in fact, that after I read her posts, I have no need, much less urge, to buy the music she's pimping in order to relax. maybe you could merge the three threads to multiply that effect?

you should! as i said, if the text is in jstor google scholar will give you the address (on the right side of the title it says "Group of 5" or something when scholar knows several sources to avoid multiple listings, clicking on there gives you the alternative addresses...) it's not the best site evere, but it's pretty good...

what if i never have "a few friends over to relax" (sounds creepy); maybe your distant cousins at http://www.vervemusicgroup.com have an idea?
