I love this one too, but Dizzy Reece's version of said tune on "Soundin' Off" gets my vote as best all time version of this tune. If you haven't heard it, check it out as I think you'd love it. if you want to lead this thread off topic i am with you discovered today that on dizzy's myspace page you can listen to full length sound samples of his new cd (recorded in 1968) Nirvana http://myspace.com/dizzyreece you can also buy it from cdbaby http://cdbaby.com/cd/dizzyreece besides on his blogspot page there is a nice radio show with tunes from for instance his rare album with john gimore and siegfried kessler... http://dizzyreece.blogspot.com/

voted for quarterly donor drives... maybe with some moderators doing the driving for jim alfredson for reasons vaguely related to this board i don't have things like a credit card or a paypal account, haven't contributed anything yet but will make up for that soon, i don't have much but i do have more than a year ago... edit, got a paypal account now, money should get on its way once it is loaded...

on my way home from work i was just thinking "well if we're moving on i will just go where brownie [father figure of yurpean board members] is going..." come on, losing this board is more than enough for poor souls like me, stay around for another board!

i would accept that quid pro quo (at least i have in the two and a half cases where such a thing has happened to me...) 1) Did I act inappropriately? I don't buy a ton of used CDs so I am not fully aware of the ethics involved. 2) Should I accept the quid pro quo of the refund for removing the feedback comment?

political subject unpolitical motivation, a question to those located in paris / knowing paris better than me... i don't really know who else to ask... probably i am silly, but, my girlfriend is in paris at the moment, reading about the riots i was a bit worried, because the riots started in Villiers-le-Bel just about 6 kilometers (4 miles) away from the Charles de Gaulle airport and i have read they have spread quite a bit in the area... reading about 77 wounded police men in one night and the riots still continuing it seems like the situation is far from under control; is it totally unproblematic to take the RER to the airport tommorow evening or would you rather, say, stay a few more days or leave paris by train or something else... thank you very much!!

Classical music covered by jazz musicians
Niko replied to Van Basten II's topic in Classical Discussion
most obvious choice ever Miles Davis doing Concerto de Aranjuez (and he also did something by De Falla with Gil Evans iirc) -
Classical music covered by jazz musicians
Niko replied to Van Basten II's topic in Classical Discussion
now tell us you didn't get what he meant... besides i think he wanted to exclude stuff like benny goodman doing Mozart's clarinet concerto... (and classical musicians and their relationship to the music they are playing and "what their message is" beyond the level of "this sounds good" is an issue deserving lots of discussion on its own imho) -
Classical music covered by jazz musicians
Niko replied to Van Basten II's topic in Classical Discussion
ike quebec's bossa nova soul samba has two nice "classical covers", things by Liszt and Dvorak iirc; one that i didn't like that much is brahms lullaby on Clark Terry's Moodsville Quartet Album with Junior Mance... i also like Uri Caine's Mahler album -

not that i've heard these, but isn't Strickland the Abdul Rahim Mustafa on Donald Ayler's Firenze recordings (no idea where i read this so it may be bs) Indeed, Abdul Rahim Mustafa was plain Donald Strickland then! He is on that Donald Ayler concert. From what I remember, he was much more at ease and impressive with Tyler! always wonder whether googling names like abdul rahim mustafa or majid shabazz will get me in trouble some day

don't have the best Turrentone records it seems, after reading this thread, but my favorites are Shirley Scott's Blue Flames (OJC) and the The Common Touch (and then the Legends of Acid Jazz Scott twofer)
-
no idea about WOLFERT BREDERODE but he has Claudio Puntin in his band which promises great things!

Jazz tunes that refer to science fiction novels and tales
Niko replied to Larry Kart's topic in Miscellaneous Music
according to jack chambers dick twardzik discography http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~chambers/twardzik2.html there is an earlier (1954) recording, Serge Chaloff's Fable of Mable where it is titled Slam ?! -
on phil woods homepage under http://www.philwoods.com/disco/data3.php# there is some more info (click on the album covers for details, always the same lineup), don't know how reliable that is...

great, i was right! nice how he pronounces berlin in the german portion in a way that you can really hear it comes from (the (very similar) german word for) "bear"
-
how do you pronounce "Berlin" in English? emphasis on ber or on lin? (heated discussion over lunch today )
-

Caiman.com on amazon Suspect cdrs sold as new.
Niko replied to Jazztropic's topic in Offering and Looking For...
I think that Ron has it right, and that some people see rare OOP titles listed by Caiman and then get ticked off when they don't show up when the reality is that the listing should be taken with a grain of salt. Take the plunge, hope you get a shipping confirmation in a week or so or else cancel. Its not that difficult. But that still doesn't justify their re-listing of items they'll never get! and it can't be that hard - even for a huge seller - to keep track of orders that were cancelled because of unavailability on their side... (at least sometimes it helps to keep the prices of other sellers relatively low i guess) -
Caiman.com on amazon Suspect cdrs sold as new.
Niko replied to Jazztropic's topic in Offering and Looking For...
I can see that. Still, what happened to me recently was that Caiman suddenly listed an item (on Amazon Marketplace UK as it were) which had previously not been available. Suddenly Caiman indicated it as "in stock" (which of course it wasn't, as they have no stock). So how do they suddenly decide that they will be able to get an item? In the end, it costed me a dollar because of the varying exchange rates so it was no big deal, but still... i also find that irritating, stuff like, Don Patterson's Dem New York Dues or Woody Shaw's Song of Songs, i ordered from them within the last six months after they put a NEW offer out for them, the cds never arrived i got my money back, the offer disappeared and came back a few weeks later, admittedly i didn't try to order again, but still, i really don't see the point of what they are doing (didn't read the whole thread) - do they want a credit without interest at the cost of making their seller rating worse? that said, i still order for them, i can afford giving free credit from time to time and when they do ship they have good prices... edit to say, it seems all i wrote had been written before, but as there are still non-believers out there, why not; my experience with chmarche24 was good so far; most annoying experience was with cd-lp-dvd, took several emails to get my money back, but then when they deliver they are so fast (within germany) that i still use them anyway -
got destination out yesterday and have only tried the first 6 minutes, it sounds great
