That's like statistics - it can be skewed to say what you want it to. "Limited American Bias"?? How many of the total set of raters are American? 5 of the top 20 are American, but how many of the total set of raters are? 80%? I find it curious that the "Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery" for example can be considered a better beer than any number of European beers that I'm familiar with. And there are only 2 German beers on the list, one of which I've tried (Schneider Weisse). I've had numerous German beers that are far better than that one. Again, there's no credibility to this list, and it's far too U.S.-centric. and how serious can you take someone who can rank more than 3400 beers ? never heard of the two German beers on that list btw but i am really not an expert

great to hear they still operate it!

am i hearing this wrong or is there actually guitar on this one despite the line-up listing? i am asking mostly out of curiosity whether i am such a bad listener, during nica's dream it appears in numerous places, during the organ solo for instance... is this all organ? i love this cd, btw

would have tried Dance with Death or Passing Ships next otherwise, but will go for Judgement then...

if you don't mind vocals i definitely recommend the first two albums by thärichen's tentet, lady moon and the thin edge on minor music, soundsamples here: http://www.thaerichen.de/

remembered, that a search for Don Ellis had led me there... favorite modern jazz RECORDINGS w/ 10+ players, recommend specific releases: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=14388 and linked in there: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=14372 edit to add the answer to ubu's question is obviously YES

saw such a thread earlier today, one of these great recommendations threads started by rooster_ties but can't find it anymore... Oliver Nelson arranged a lot of such one-time Big Band sessions for people a really great one: Eddie Lockjaw Davis "Whistle Stop" a not so great one: Clark Terry All-American... Tadd Dameron did some such big band sessions in his last burst of activity on Riverside, Blue Mitchell's strings album Smooth as the Wind, Milt Jackson's Big Bags [both albums had other arrangers as well] and his own The Magic Touch (for him it was the step from ca 10 piece to real big band), iirc he also did something for Sonny Stitt round that time... some of the Randy Weston albums I'd like to know fall under your description, Tanjah, for example is there a Bill Evans Big Band album?

just to make the information complete in this thread as well (the other:http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=36574&st=0&gopid=701793&#entry701793) this source claims that tenorists McCain and Rouse were annouced before the concert... http://www.jazzdocumentation.ch/philippi/4personenusa.pdf

ah, the Rouse/Byas mystery is solved there... so Ellington regularly had six saxophonists at that time? (strange idea that just in 1950 the saxophone section was bigger than at any other time...) (Hamilton, Procope, Hodges, McCain, Rouse/Byas, Carney)

according to this source http://www.jazzdocumentation.ch/philippi/4personenusa.pdf the announced line-up had Charlie Rouse and Alva McCain as tenor saxophonists... the same google query yielded this phd thesis on Julius Watkins, btw http://etd.fcla.edu/UF/UFE0012940/smith_p.pdf

since you've joined exactly a year ago today ( ) you should know by now that we prefer it when people dig out threads from several years ago which are vaguely related to post their inquiries! it helps us keep the information together

Happy Birthday

ah, thank you, Judgement... although i said i dislike Andrew!!! - interesting and i will take that serious because I've loved Hutcherson on all the other records i have him on..

ok, same question from me, i have (roughly in the order in which i like them) Lift every voice (clearly favorite so far) Compulsion, Grass Roots Point of Departure Andrew!!! i have the vague impression that i have not yet found my favorite Hill date, though i am reasonably glad about having the ones i have and the only one i really don't get into is Andrew!!!; what do I need next?

you'll see that assertion more often from now on...

(the expression on the left hand side of aparaxas formula gives 18,999098... or something like that, so its a close approximation to a fancy way of writing 19...) (and if the 9 on your calculator isn't working anymore and you don't want to write 8+1 this is another way to go, no, not very funny)

got out my calculator now... great formula for when the nine on the calculator isn't working any more... (who needs more than three digits after all..)

as we have a similar discussion going on elsewhere at the moment... it seems that nobody had noticed that The Jamestrane had also asked for other artists besides Patton that he might enjoy - that you really can't answer that easily with just the search function...

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...?
