the story lives on overhere... don't know whether i will clear this up, somehow i don't feel like doing that...

wanted to post the story of Poincare convincing his brother President Poincare to make a better professorship for some famous Polish?Czech? scientist (Riesz?) one of France's reparation claims after WW I, but can't find any details... anyone knows whether this true/ knows the details? personal favorite Magician/Mathematician Persi Diaconis http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2004...iaconis-69.html speaking of Gödel, for recently deceased Paul Cohen (His twin sons Steven and Eric played the Dancing Twins on the TV show Ally McBeal, i learn on wikipedia) (and Cantor and Hausdorff and..., no physicists on this list, never REALLY understood why people bother with this type of stuff; appreciate computers and electric light though)

Is this the date with Mickey Roker on drums? it has Candy Finch on drums iirc

happy birthday°

love the story how sun ra banned the rain from the moers festival during his performance http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~moudry/articles/moers.htm (did davis say whether what he told the induction center had to do with magic as well) some surprising names in that discography, freddie hubbard, yusef lateef, wes motgomery...

amazing work in this thread! thank you so much for lighting up the last few days many times...

found it through google no coltrane discography but losin has a discography of his bootleg collection which contains quite some trane (it's called "Live Shows and CD-Rs" IIRC)

been a vegetarian for several years now and never felt like i was giving up anything - but if it was about cheese instead of meat i don't know whether i could do it

!happy birthday!

got Steven Isoardi's book "The Dark Tree" on Friday and the accompanying CD has some unissued Arkestra material 4 minutes from 1969, 10 minutes from 1970, 17 great minutes from 1976, and 34 (just quintet) minutes from 1995; amazon.com has it for 19$ (from sellers, 25 from amazon) and you get a nice 300 page hardcover book (haven't read much yet besides the photos) plus a CD; would love to hear more as well, but nothing else seems to be available

sad this isn't great, the line-up looks so fine: (info from bjazz.blogspot.com great Tapscott, Cart, Bradford site) Curtis Amy saxophones soprano et ténor Warren Gale, Jr. trompette Lester Robertson trombone Horace Tapscott piano Eddie Mathias contrebasse Mel Lee batterie

!happy birthday! hope the dullness is over...

If you take into account the western european votes only (first column in the table in the middle of the page), the top rankings would have been almost the same: http://www.bildblog.de/2258/warum-mag-uns-eigentlich-keiner i've seen a little more during lunch... i think given the extreme crapiness of most of the western submissions ("our" song was not great but e.g. UK and Spain had a quality that was hard to believe, and the Irish singer was so much out of tune i've hardly heard such a thing on TV before) there is really no reason to complain (though maybe this is a decline in quality in response to the eastern block voting of recent years) besides it is quite apparent that these eastern countries have some common taste which is different from ours... once you have accepted that groups like the one from Russia or Romania have fans at all it is easy to imagine that these are spread over several countries (my imagination still has problems with the first step) nevertheless the songs i liked best came all from eastern countries, they just put more effort into the thing... that crappy "dancefloor" thing from the uk, will have to see it again before i go to sleep...

would you consider hawaiian jazz as west coast?

wonder what it means that there are much more right foot shoes than left foot shoes on the table

from Peter Losin's site: http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Tapes.aspx?s=19491107 i don't care too much for studio chatter usually, but in such a case it might actually help to nail down whether it really was Coltrane??? (depending on who chatters what)

thank you much, for answering my question even though this has all been discussed before! (i knew; but a 22 page thread dedicated alone to Braxton - not that i didn't read some of it - and many more threads dedicated to him and others of these artists require a lot of work until you are down to a number of albums you might seriously consider buying, especially, if you don't know the music at all ) thank you

they just don't have states like Moldavia... if I were Angela Merkel I'd offer them Thueringen or maybe Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (the latter would even include couw, but that's one of the more attractive features); ey, we's got a big ass G8 fence too! some shipyards, a bunch of trees and all that nature... that should increase value convinced, maybe Sachsen-Anhalt is the more reasonable offer though it lies right in the middle next year's candidate?

0 points for our "Sinatra" from Moldova (at least Eurovision taught me the correct spelling) and the only song i've seen has won, will I watch the rest?....

they just don't have states like Moldavia... if I were Angela Merkel I'd offer them Thueringen or maybe Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (the latter would even include couw, but that's one of the more attractive features); Sinatra... i don't know, you are being extremely nice

in case someone like this crap for the right reasons he or she might turn into a jazz fan and buy good records some day, i could have written Johnny Griffin instead , have only seen Serbia so far and was not too impressed

can't watch it right now, but am recording it as i still have to work; this is the official apology of the people of germany for submitting this crap; my girlfriend asked with a sinister smile, isn't this what they call jazz... well, the part of me that appreciates jazz can't relate to it and the rest hates the lyrics very much... if some guy in Moldavia likes it and will end up buying Kenny Dorham records there was some use to it but for the moment I am really sorry (though admittedly of the three performers between we could choose on television this may even have been the best choice)

now that this great (thank you!) thread sems to have finally run a little out of steam, i can maybe ask a (slightly off-topic, but only slightly) question: i have and have and enjoy some of the older 60s New York etc Free Jazz but of the new arrivals that have been discussed I haven't heard a single record: what would two or three fine records be which could help me find out what Braxton, AEC, AACM, BAG or anything else of the second group of musicians discussed were all about?

on the jazzwestcoast list it was mentioned that Rod Levitt passed away on May 8
