arguably the ojc i have enjoyed the most so far! waiting for Sonny Stitt - Soul People and Jimmy Forrest - Forrest - Forrest Fire, hope at least one of them shows up today... If you don't mind me asking, where did you get Forrest Fire? Through the concord site? i got it used from an amazon.de seller who just had one copy (for 6.50 Euro + 3 for shipping...) right now there is still another amazon.de seller that looks reasonably trustworthy which has it at 10 Euro (international shipping is 6 Euro iirc?)

don't know about you, but i just ordered Forrest Fire at a decent price, but... (being bored is better than other things, this morning i missed a moderately important appointment because i thought the time would be two hours later as last time, ten minutes ago i discovered that the upper bound that i thought i had figured out does not apply even half as easily as i had thought/hoped... wish i was bored)

what MikeWeill mentioned above, the sessions with Draper and Elmo Hope and that's all? would be a nice set, I should think... brief glance at jazzdisco discography, only other thing i see is Tenor Madness with Rollins (guess i am the last person who doesn't have that...) seems like a great set... (Garland is two sessions...)

Mangione better known than Shorter... wow, guess i am too young to understand

Given the bad dietary habits in the U.S. - go to a mall or to a street in a U.S. city and check out the number of obese people walking around - that might well be true. it's cute they claim in the article this is because americans have the money to be as fat as they are - this may make the difference in comparison with many countries in the world but i guess for most countries which are "better" than the us on that list it's rather ridiculous to think that is part of the reason...

!!happy birthday!!

David Grier has received the International Bluegrass Music Association's Guitar Player of the Year award three times hope "he" feels reasonably well within all this...

quiz: which alto player (which is roughly as famous as the ones from the list) is hidden in this article: http://homernews.com/stories/061903/ent_06...art001001.shtml I know... but I won't tell... 20 years, bah... at least he is introduced by "Susan Mumma of the Seldovia Arts Council said some of the lesser-known names on this year's schedule are also intriguing" - after artists like Phillips, Grier and Flinner, Mark Nelson, Hawkeye Herman, Mike Campbell and Robin Hopper have been discussed in more detail; admittedly it's a folk festival...

did you know Andorra is the country with the highest life expectancy in the world? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andorra

there is also the older thread (the thread folks around here mean when they say Nessa warned us ) Before OJCs go away, what to buy: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=15173

thank you! roughly this is what i was afraid of, as damusic don't seem do be putting too much effort into their jazzcolours series... will get it anyway i guess, but maybe not now...

have another Tolliver and sound-quality related question... is there any reason to hope that the Black Lion edition of Live at Loorsdrecht is better than the (more recent and somewhat cheaper) Jazz Colours edition? I only have one Jazz Colours CD, Kenny Dorham Soul Support, containing Rocky Boyd's Ease it and the Dave Bailey album with Dorham (minus one track) and the sound quality is really not great (usually this doesn't bother me, but here it is a little too much...) Black Lion CDs are not famous for great sound either... opinions anyone?

Since the Zweitausendeins Sale (where I got almost 200 i think) i got relatively little (but nice ones)... will not get started again before i come back from my holidays i decided Mal Waldron - Mal - 1 Legends of Acid Jazz - Melvin Sparks Legends of Acid Jazz - Don Patterson / Booker Ervin Sonny Criss - Sonny's Dream Walt Dickerson - To My Queen Eric Dolphy - At the Five Spot vol. 1 Rusty Bryant - Returns Yusef Lateef - Other Sounds

i like it a lot, nice video, too

off topic, but iirc in the synchronized german version of Ken Burns Jazz they say Kenny Clarke played the bass drum with his left hand

unfortunately someone in the shop (?) has written the real contents on the CD with a black marker nevertheless on of my favorite CDs of the last months...

funny, i got the Tolliver artwork, on the CD it is printed Frank Tusa - Father Time, but the music is Tolliver...

vielen dank! (by last batch of conns you mean most recent bunch, or? we have not yet learned that there won't be another...?

i think on the carmell jones select there is a session (originally led by Frank Strazzeri for PJ and previously unreleased... from what i have read, there are two two-song bolton sessions for PJ, one with Earl Anderza (and Caliman) and one with Anthony Ortega (but without Caliman?)

Heidegger... you must be a tough guy that you can stand his writing... actually you reminded me of a project one of my professors started when i still did philosophy, a translation of Gottlob Freges (famous because it's incorrect but i love his writing style) major work "Grundgesetze der Arithmetik" from his own weird formula language to normal formulas... hope this will get finished in decent time... (they started in 2004) His language takes a little getting used to, but as soon as the lexicon hurdle is overcome, it becomes quite clear that he is one of most important philosophers of the 20th century. I've taken two seminars on Heidegger: one on 'Being and Time' and the other on the 'later' Heidegger. Took the latter seminar with a prof who studied with Eugen Fink at Frieburg. Fink was a student and friend of Heidegger's. Hope that Leibniz project comes to a completion. Frege, not Leibniz (the only author besides Bertrand Russell who is mentioned in Wittgenstein's Tractatus...), he was the inventor of quantors (English word?) in logic and had his very own way of writing things down ( on page 7 and 8 of this you can see what he did and how they are rewriting it on one of 400 pages http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/~fha/fha_gldv05.pdf ) i never got beyond that language issue with Heidegger, it just read so ridiculous... but i do believe you

what is an online "profile assessment" test for? sounds strange... Part of the job interview process with a potential employer. hope the job doesn't involve too many calculations like these... good luck!
