wonder how many of those who voted other would have voted "world music" (which is an abbreviation for "stuff that's filed under world music in most general purpose record stores" - of course, most genres have strong ties to this world...) where is the divide between Classic Rock and Modern Rock? Beatles? 1980? ?? guess some of what i am listening to like Bob Dylan or Syd Barrett is classic rock, some, is modern (like i am the last person who still believes in Pete Doherty's vast talents) but where do The Cure or Aztec Camera go? David Bowie?

another one for my post count and - like Kenneth Grahame - if god wrote today he would possibly admit that some of the characters in his own book are not as heterosexual as some would want to believe...

Thanks in advance! Klazz Brothers? No, I guess not... neither am I! By the way, the great John Lewis solo album "Private Concert" (reissued in Universal France's Heritage of Anniversary series two or three years ago) contains two adaptions of Bach compositions. And I still think there should be many such instances, where someone rather than doing a whole album of Bach, did adapt one composition in between originals and standards etc. But I haven't even been able yet to go through all of my own discs, looking for such "hidden" tracks... still, if anyone has any additional input, I assume it would be welcome! just tried a search for bach on jazzdisco.org, did not look through the results very carefully though there seem to be a number of things in between useless results... unfortunately this is unissued: Les McCann Quintet Les McCann (p) Leroy Vinnegar (b) Donald Dean (d) Victor Pantoja (cga) Willie Bobo (tim) RCA Studios, NYC, November 20, 1968 15703 Untitled Bach unissued 15704 Untitled Blues - 15705 Burnin' Coal Atlantic SD 1516 15706 Untitled Bach, No. 2 unissued 16488 Burnin' Coal (ed.) Atlantic 2615 * Les McCann - Much Les (Atlantic SD 1516) * Les McCann - With These Hands c/w Burnin' Coal (Atlantic 2615) but there was also Ornette Coleman - Tone Dialing (Verve-Harmolodic 527483-2) Ornette Coleman (sax, tp, vln) Dave Bryant (key) Chris Rosenberg, Ken Wessel (g) Bradley Jones, Al MacDowell (b) Chris Walker (b, key) Denardo Coleman (d) Badal Roy (tabla, per) Avenda Khadija, Moishe Nalm (vo) NYC, 1995 Street Blues Search For Life Guadalupe Bach Prelude ... and maybe more

think, i would rather make some major changes to the city i am living in (moving several people to some place where they don't do harm, remove the train station and put it somewhere where it makes sense but doesn't separate the city into two halves, a better appartment for us would be mandatory as well, get us a decent record store and several other stores a city of 300000 inhabitants should normally have...)

many interesting passages about interesting figures of many colors in there, Bob Graettinger, Dupree Bolton, Jimmy Giuffre... for more Baker at the gas pump and the like, try Jeroen de Valks Baker Bio (which can be had for 8 or 9 $ at the moment; there is an expanded edition released by now however but just in dutch so far, afaik)

West Coast Jazz is my favorite jazz book - it's definitely worth considering, no matter what you are looking for

a major step in the ongoing search for the white Strozier... is Watts really "white"?

I realize that it's not a contest, but I can't see anyone topping you, Rod. well, if you take "unusual" as compared to what you listen to usually yourself, then Rod is relatively easy to top actually, all you need are sufficiently narrow tastes...

happy birthday!

vaguely recall that upon a similar inquiry someone mentioned that this item http://www.amazon.com/Loft-Jazz-New-York-1...9577&sr=1-5 has the same content, but don't take my word for it; think in that other thread there also was some discussion whether this is legit but i forgot the answer if we had one... also, did you see that amazon offers mp3 downloads of the original set... http://www.amazon.com/Wildflowers-York-Lof...9577&sr=1-2

further back to the orginal topic, don't think we have mentioned Charlie Kennedy so far and especially Anthony Ortega

sorry to hear this! i had a very strange robbery earlier this year, i came home my neighbors were already standing in front of the house saying that someone had broken into our basements and that i should have a look whether anything was missing; at first sight is was clear nothing was missing, neither my bicycle nor the empty cardboard boxes, instead there was a lot of new stuff, an empty box of beer bottles, a full bottle of "booze" (Apfelkorn), an empty travelling bag with some childrens clothes in it more childrens clothes spread over the floor and then some drops of blood on the children's clothes and on the floor... i was REALLY scared at that point (partly because our elderly neighbors are somewhat suspicious about us, don't really know why, probably because we don't go to bed at nine)... turned out all the stuff had been brought there from other people's basements and the drops of blood were as the policemen said the typical remainders of someone shooting heroin or whatever, the children's clothes were stuff one of the neighbors had been collecting to bring them to africa... but i still don't get what had been ging on there, as it turned out, all that must have happened within at most one hour...

had hoped for a "fleshier" picture to continue the series... here's Frank Gratkowski anyway

in seventh and eighth great the other boys in my class always played chess during breaks but i never understood what was so interesting about it; quick googling, the guy who mostly won has a 2536 rating these days (10 years later)... congratulations anyway, don't know what winning in chess is like, but i guess its much like winning elsewhere (a nice thing)

ok, i need help too: i gave my copy of that !!excellent!! Jazz in Paris Barney Wilen disc that has Milt Jackson on piano to a friend several years ago who probably already didn't know where it was before he moved out from his girlfriend recently (and supposedly has long forgotten about it) - should i bother to ask him (which most likely just has the effect of making him feel bad) or simply forget about it and get a new copy? (probably not what MG is looking for?! - it has the Modern Jazz Quartet with Barney Wilen minus John Lewis, Milt Jackson in Lewis place and i loved it...)

Brubeck meets Bach - no idea what this is http://www.amazon.de/Brubeck-Meets-Bach-Dave/dp/B000NA205A and then vaguely recall hearing some of this on the radio and liking it somehow, Joachim Kühn and classical musicians http://www.amazon.de/Bach-Now-Thomanerchor...9594&sr=8-1 more Kühn Bach: http://www.amazon.de/Allegro-Vivace-Piano-...9809&sr=1-7 and shouldn't there be some 1950s Third Stream stuff?

seems like it http://www.jazzclub-life.at/Musiker/Praskin.htm for instance, some funny spelling on that site Mal Woldron, Joz Albany, Bud Freeman, Junior Cock, Wilbur Little, Fritz Pauer, Hans Kollar, Sam Rivers, Sunny Murray, Reaver Harris, Burton Green, James Zitro und Termusa Hino

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
