    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
  6. 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...
  7. 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?
  8. can't believe i got the names of the top 3 right! (despite the order and the number of votes...) thank you so much!
  9. 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...)
  10. 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...)
  11. the label sells it for 9... http://www.nimbuswest.com/files/html/LPs.htm
  12. 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?
  13. 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...)
  14. 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]
  15. i found Marion Brown's ESP albums and the two Prince Lasha / Sonny Simmons albums on Contemporary rather accessible...
  16. not all of it
  17. 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)
  18. the story lives on overhere... don't know whether i will clear this up, somehow i don't feel like doing that...
  19. 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)
  20. Is this the date with Mickey Roker on drums? it has Candy Finch on drums iirc
  21. 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...
  22. amazing work in this thread! thank you so much for lighting up the last few days many times...
  23. 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)
