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

he knows

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!!

you mean like every time I pronounce "Christmas" the way I usually do HE is hurt a little bit? and i always thought that nobody took me serious, but that's the thing with g_d i guess

Jimmy Smith - Cool Blues ( my first JOS record)

i hope very much that god pays less attention to my English pronounciation than he does apparently to that guy's spelling

it's the first hit google gives you for g_d; i don't think it's more than vaguely antisemitic, after all he believes that anyone can jump over to the good side just by changing one or two believes; it's a thoroughly american site in any case...

made an edit... in case anyone else wonders, what g_d means: http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Basics/g_d.htm (still don't understand)

actually upon reading cliffords post i remembered that contrary to my initial post i remembered cucu ear and it was horrible, so it's good to know that in principle there is something better...

it seems redoctopus have both volumes... link

i guess this is rather obvious but he should get one of the city magazines which contain extensive events sections (iirc one is called Zitty and the other Tip or Tipp, the major difference between the two is i think that they each cover two weeks but appear alternatingly...)

from his allmusic.com credits page (guessing his name is fairly rare) it seems he is arranging and writing liner notes for bluegrass albums... (is that equally depressing? haven't tried)

i was late starting to talk and never really caught up - nothing wrong with that i guess (reportely i never said two consecutive words until one morning when i said "the hat i will take in any case i think"); probably when i finish school and then start working in an insurance company at 29 i will look back at these years here with fondness - but at the moment that prospect rather scares me, still believe that there is a better way out

intelligence is not the word i'd use, it's more about developing an eye for structures of texts/problems, as a matter of fact i am teaching students who are only three years younger than myself and there were several this semester who were clearly slower on things which seemed easy to me although they were obviously more talented (and will be much better mathematician than me in two or three years); i don't think that you can reduce that progress to having more knowledge, maybe developing an eye captures it pretty well; actually those beginnings of declining health were one thing i forgot in my last post

sounds vaguely familiar (fiction writing aside), i think until last year i simply got continuously better/smarter by getting older but this year (25 to 26) it seems that process has stopped... i had already suspected that - bitter as it is - this is how things are (especially as i am pretty certain that these months here - first year of working towards my phd - would be only half as depressing if i were only, say, 20 percent smarter ) trying to get used to the thought that high school teacher is a great job but it doesn't really work yet - but maybe that step - which feels ridiculously drastic at the moment - won't be necessary (to add the finest periods were the first half of 2006 when i was working very productively, was living temporarily in a nice city where nobody knew me and where i rediscovered jazz (and there was that great ojc sale at 2001 so that i could afford one or two new cds every lunch break) the other really fine period, was my civilian service in 2000/2001 at a place for old people where i did a useful job at which i was really good (mainly as it was not too demanding) (organizing a choir and bingo, reading from the newspaper and talking to people) and played a lot of music; the rest was somewhere in between, my mother said already in kindergarden i was not worse at singing and painting than the other kids i was just somewhat indifferent when the others were excited; after all i think i can consider my life a very happy one (given that things will get better soon )

the best jazz concert i've heard in berlin (almost seven years ago) was groove jazz (or whatever you want to call it) by Tapscott Arkestra veteran Fuasi Abdu Khaliq (www.fuasi.com) quick googling reveals he is playing every two weeks at this place http://www.badenscher-hof.de/programm.html about i which know nothing but you just missed him on wednesday (they have another fine concert tonight Takase with Mahall); hope there are people here who know (like) Berlin better than me if you miss takase tonight there will be 4 or 5 more chances later this month at the a-trane (this is where i used to go a lot back then but i was living pretty close) http://www.a-trane.de/
