i was standing at the cut out bin (so there is only one copy of most cds ) at zweitausedeins and some fat 60 year old guy who was looking through the CDs in the next box turned around and without a word took all the 4 or 5 CDs i currently had in my hand (if this type of thing happened more often I'd have been less puzzled... luckily it doesn't) he looks through them, apparently they don't tell him anything (hatology or so) except the last one which was the Barney Wilen / Philip Petit Duo Album... he looks at it, says "Wilen, he was pretty good, like the French Doldinger" (?! sounded very competitive, the way he said that) "but, i do not buy any music that was recorded before 1990" (the Wilen is from the 80s) and handed it back to me with a disappointed look

with which Tapscott Big Band Album would you start? it seems http://www.nimbuswest.com/ has Live At IUCC, Flight 19 and (LP only) The Call...?

seems like it: http://www.germanticketoffice.com/detail_d...=d5115512043119

haven't tried to do this myself, but in this thread there is some discussion about a browser (Safari) and a Firefox Add on which help to do this... (see posts 27,28...) http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...33269&st=15

happy birthday!

happy birthday!

some frustration driven buying in the last few days... in the mail today Charles Tolliver - Impact (Strata East) Charles Tolliver - Compassion (both the early 90s German reissues at 6 Euro each...) Sonny Criss - Sonny' Dream still on their way Frank Strozier - What's Goin On Sonny Criss - Mr Blues Pour Flirter

seconded (though maybe i should get free for all )

Sonny Criss Complete Imperial Sessions is another double-conn (should i get it? )

and i always thought i was the only one who liked it... ( )

in this thread http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...c=32989&hl= there is a (not too substantial) non spam post... wonder whether it's just one person, this post has a somewhat different sound to it... and whether this is really directed by anyone, or just some helpless person doing an internship, hard to believe this is part of some organized campaign

He's posting frequently in the jazz section on a blues forum. he posted in what are you listening to right now yesterday... doesn't look like his interests have changed significantly since the start of this thread...

and Frank Strozier!

is the web page pit of date? are you looking for vinyl exclusively? Dial B for Barbara is listed between numerous nice-looking items on the CDs page (also don't miss that besides CDs and LPs there is a Tapscott Solo Piano section...) Has anyone ordered from them before?

can't believe i got the names of the top 3 right! (despite the order and the number of votes...) thank you so much!

I'd guess Cannonball leading the field. MG of course! i knew i was overlooking someone (besides the numbers i guessed were way to high i suppose...)

what did Clark Terry do to get third in the trumpet category what does the alto poll look like? other than with tenor or organ i find it hard to guess what it looks like... does Ornette dominate it? am i overlooking someone? (guess would be like Ornette Coleman 1500, Jackie McLean 800, Johnny Hodges 700, but...)

the label sells it for 9... http://www.nimbuswest.com/files/html/LPs.htm

do many posts in that thread (on the second, third page if you have as many posts per page as i have) look like, uh, salad (wrong alignment of icons and text, like an html mistake) on anyone else's browser, too?

being online doesn't mean being logged in but having clicked on some thread, member profile whatever in the last 5 minutes... if you are inactive for more than five minutes and then click on your member profile it says offline (because it doesn't count your present action of clicking on your member profile yet) (if you then click on the refresh button of your browser it will say on line (reading member profile)) (and will mean not your current reading of the member profile but your last reading before you clicked refresh...)

My thoughts exactly. thought this too sometimes but am glad actually that i didn't give up and tried out different things from time to time; still remember very well when i got my first charlie parker compilation at 14 and after 4 or 5 listens had this moment of "so this is how this is supposed to be meant" and have enjoyed the music a lot ever since (not that i'd believe anymore to really have figured out how Charlie Parker meant Yardbird Suite ) with free jazz it took me longer and of course there is something ridiculous in listening to music you don't really like just because you have read that it is excellent but after all i would have missed so many great listening experiences had i given up [and now you may say i am still not REALLY getting it but am just telling myself that i do because i don't want to feel stupid or uneducated or whatever; but that's not how i am perceiving it, so even if it were the case that i am just pretending - i don't think it would matter]

i found Marion Brown's ESP albums and the two Prince Lasha / Sonny Simmons albums on Contemporary rather accessible...

not all of it

given the numbers of votes the others had it is amazing how many votes JOS lost from 1968 to 1969... (maybe numbers need to be adjusted with the total number of votes in that year... still)
