    George Crumb

    second that question! all i know is (part of?) his solo piano collection Makrokosmos which i really liked a lot in a concert some time ago (and definitely recommend...)
  2. guess that's the educational system the want to change ours to... grrrrr
  3. finally found one (admittedly real old) thread which firefox can't display (unless the board is in outline mode...) actually i cannot read posts 5 to 15 or so... don't have another browser he to try but iirc this type of problem did not exist before the update... http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=1037
  4. wow, out of the many interesting things you see every day this list sure stands out! (for me, especially, Jordan, Wilson, Ali, Draper, Duke)
  5. Maybe I'm misreading you Slide, but in case you didn't know -- the Onion doesn't print real articles. Some staff member had a ffun time writing this one! Guy i think i read a George Benson interview which went very much into the direction of this article (like "i know which type of record you would like to hear from me, i would like such a record much better myself, but, you know, it would only sell like 250000 copies [number was definitely far in the 100000s] and my grandchildren have these expensive hobbies..." maybe i am partly confusing it with a Jimmy Smith interview..)
  6. iirc the 10 Euro copy i mentioned above was from Caiman...
  7. seems like anybook is specialized on this type of price... http://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B000...5036&sr=1-2 (the same item cheaper: http://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B000...5036&sr=1-1 ) Nice is a pricey region i've been told edit: they are sending from Florida so i guess they just translated "Nice book" to "Nizza Buch" - no cities in Southern France involved...
  8. i am always scared when i put on a cd i bought as teenager which i never really liked and find out that i still now it much better than all except four or five CDs i got within the last year, although i haven't listened to it in years (saxophonis Bill Evans "Push" is an example, i even know most of the rap lyrics by heart once the song is put on) btw a simple trick if you are strong enough (which i am only most of the time) is not order anything until the open orders arrived (works only if you don't order too many at a time)
  9. it was available for like 10 Euros on amazon.de just two weeks ago but unfortunately just on the day when i had bought that wrong train ticket for 88 Euro... when i got an exceptional refund (many many thanks to SCNF) it was too late
  10. if his son still puts out his music i can't be that difficult as a person
  11. almost posted that one too, one of the records i regularly look up on my morning visit to amazon.de (one more reasons to get a credit card, i guess)
  12. Happy Birthday!
  13. it doesn't work... but what seems to work is adding &mode=linear to the adress in your window changing it from, say http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=35328 to http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...amp;mode=linear
  14. maybe! if the address in your browser window contains the expressions &mode=threaded or &mode=linearplus you can simply delete these; just tried this and it seemed to work but i don't know much about these things...
  15. pisces: iirc it's a sequence of quartets with only one tenor playing on each track and it is mostly ballads (and on the 4 Lockjaw quartets Horace Parlan plays celeste) so it is a little odd concept, but some of the tracks are really nice (the title track with Griffin for instance)
  16. not old, don't drive either, possibly bad, and bored at work, if ubu is allowed to post...
  17. some explanation: - Charlie Parker - The Gold Collection (notably some Dial sides + a live recording of April in Paris with Kenny Dorham) i don't really know why but - when i was 14 - having listened to some older Jazz (Benny Goodman 16 Most Requested Songs and Duke Ellington 1927-1931 or so; i had hardly listened to any music before) and having read Joachim Ernst Berendts Jazzbuch i wanted to figure out what this Modern Jazz thing was about so i got this two CD collection and didn't get it at all at first but after four or five listens i figured out that you have to listen to Bebop in a way that the music enters your had right in the middle between your eyes and then it started to make sense (today i can enjoy Charlie Parker without this additional technique, actually, i have forgotten how to do it); and my first exposure to KD was important, although I didn't follow that at the time (because I got Horace Silver and The Jazz Messengers and didn't really like it at the time) - 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) like three years later, after i had listened to quite a lot of jazz (Horace Silver's Song for My Father was very important for instance) i recorded this radio show, i was somewhat familiar with Soft Machine because my father had an LP of Vol II (as one of his 6 LPs) which i had checked out earlier, but this time it really clicked [actually my father was at the hospital at that time and for the first time since 1972 (marriage) listened to a lot of music again; i gave him Mingus which he liked a lot and that tape, don't know whether he listened to it; note to Berigan: it had all started with a swollen foot and he was dead a few weeks later]; somehow this tape, especially the Ayers Song which is still maybe my favorite song, started my interest in songwriting, i started writing lyrics and asked a friend about starting a first band...; i then listened to more rock music until i was about 24, especially after i started doing mathematics, because i found out stuff like Pretty Things or Tommorow was a perfect sound track for that, i can't sit still without music for long enough...), also i guess finding out that i would never be able to play saxophone in a decent way may have diminished my interest in jazz for some time - silly as this may be maybe more on the other three at a later time

    i believe your name is displayed at the bottom if you were active in the past five minutes edit to add: and being active means having clicked on some item on the board or the like
  19. 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)
  20. 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"
  21. 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
  22. 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?
  23. 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)
  24. 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)
