JG is really nice, i can connect more strongly to it than to The Congregation which (slightly) underwhelmed me as well; i think of the Riversides i have, i like Kerry Dancers and especially Grab this (with organ) better than JG, and the one with French Horn, whose name just escapes me about the same as JG (although it is very different)

The Five Albums That Changed the Way You Hear Music
Niko replied to md655321's topic in Miscellaneous Music
not really albums but also collections of music with less than 120 minutes playing time - Charlie Parker - The Gold Collection (notably some Dial sides + a live recording of April in Paris with Kenny Dorham) - Robert Wyatt - The early years, WDR5 radio show by Karsten Lippegaus (notably Kevin Ayers "Song for insane times", Syd Barrett "No good trying", excerpts from Soft Machine Vol II and "Memories" by the Wilde Flowers) - Tony Fruscella "At the Open Door" - Prince Lasha / Sonny Simmons "The Cry" - Don Patterson "Boppin and Burnin" -
does this count as ok? Ron Krasinski has been part of the West Coast music scene since 1972. He has performed as a drummer for many pop acts, such as Larry Carlton, Beep Birtles, Colin Raye, Barry Manilow, Seals and Croft, Sheena Easton, and Olivia Newton-John. He can be heard on records with many of those pop acts and 70's teen acts like Shaun Cassidy, and Leif Garret, and also Dr. Dre's early work (NWA, EZ, Michelle Le). As a composer, Ron draws from his playing experiences in TV and movies, including shows such as Murphy Brown, Family Ties, Sid and Marty Kroft shows and Marvel Cartoons. His knowledge of ethnic music rounds out his pallet. He has written dozens of jingles for such mega corporations as Toyota, Budweiser, IBM, and Kentucky Fried Chicken, and has music on Telemudo, MSNBC, and A&E. He has also worked as an actor in Blue Valley Songbird starring Dolly Parton and is currently slated to appear in the Broadway production of Ring Of Fire. http://www.pearldrum.com/r_krasinski.asp

I don't REALLY understand, why Frank Strozier stopped playing alto because he couldn't find any reeds; but if we take this as given - why didn't he just concentrate on his great flute playing?

I checked Allan's sessionography here and the one thing I didn't find was the note about "recently discovered". So I did some checking... It's not clear who might be in possession of these tapes and what the logistics of a release would ultimately be. I am hopeful but, at this stage, I wouldn't take anything to the bank. SS...if you care to elaborate or, at least, point me towards the "recently discovered" note on Allan's site... it's on this page: http://www.kyushu-ns.ac.jp/~allan/Documents/JC_S.HTML edit: actually, it's right on the page you linked to below the sessions in question (didn't check every single one)

just thought i'd emphasize this as i just discovered it , the search query for Sonny Stitt's Night Letter album if you want threads that contain BOTH Sonny Stitt and Night Letter is +"Sonny Stitt" +"Night Letter" (not much discussion of it btw)
-
love that song too, favorite bit is, Taxman comes, I smile and say “what do you have for me today?” He says, “Every Jew is gonna have to pay and pay” I just laugh and dance away…

see Joseph Roth's "Spider's Web" (here for 1 cent) for the view's someone who had Hitler on the bill even before the events of 1923 (like Mein Kampf, it is - other than Roth's later works - not very well constructed, a sequel novel for some newspaper and he apparently lost interest near the end; but very interesting and funny to read...) didn't know Marsalis was crazy, btw

guess you'd be bored in the first place if you read all of it, and then maybe a little offended

i find $200 is an incredibly low fine in this case... :tup for "The Sun Also Rises" however, just read that one again... -
Don't forget Wolfgang Dauner
-
as everyone is naming his local favorites... of the pianists playing around Cologne i like a lot Martin Sasse Andreas Schneermann Florian Ross Simon Nabatov
-
if i don't mix any names, i really like his piano playing behind Jack Kerouac reading
-
You'll like that - after so much searching. at the moment i am very happy, i got an unexpected refund for a train ticket i had "bought accidentally" so i got the Bennett and now also Woody Shaw's Song of Songs... a cheap copy of Don Patterson's Dem New York Dues and the day would have been perfect
-
Lou Bennett - Enfin for 12.49 Euro including shipping from some ebay.de seller (who just had this one copy)

Those are real posts, I hardly ever see them. you mean ie doesn't display them correctly? will post here when i stumble across the next one You responded before I could finish my edit. I said real old posts. There's some kind of corruption in the database and they come out with strange formatting in FireFox. ah, i see... there is also some type of new similar error since the update but i can't really remember the shape of it (iirc in some place it looked as if chuck nessa had posted a photograph of the "replying to" window or something, have seen it several times, will be on the look-out)

i am using firefox at work (have to) and ie at home and while in general i like firefox better, i often have problems with the forum where threads are not displayed correctly, can't think of example threads right now, but many posts are not displayed the way they should instead the buttons like "email"... are spread all over the place... (and these problems are still there after the update)

That was my first one too! I still think its the finest music I've heard from him. it definitely sounds like a great place to start!
-
doesn't answer your question but as i am not really working anyway i did some googling and here is the webpage of (bassist) Lamont Johnson (who still seems to be an Ex-Member of Brainstorm in the first place...) http://www.eulajohn.com/lamont-johnson-home.htm some soundsamples on allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...10:dzfoxql5ldke

i only have two ojcs, bull's eye with kenny dorham, charles mcpherson and (iirc) cecil payne and newer than new with mcpherson and lonnie hillyer and i would definitely recommend both (maybe bull's eye first, newer than new is a little more polished somehow)
-
i have a march music loving neighbor, he hears that in between his WWII documentaries (and he doesn't hear very well anymore so i believe he is actually a bigger problem for the others neighbors than me...)
-
got the Jazz in Paris and that Louiss/Thomas/Clarke trio disc since that thread was started and both are incredible, thank you!!
