    René Thomas

    don't know whether i should start a new thread for this, but as there is some rene thomas with organ on it, why not post it here: saw this new cd from that cheapo JazzClub series at the store this afternoon but didn't buy it, Ingfried Hoffmann "Hammond Bond" which contains his album "From Twen With Love" featuring Volker Kriegel plus some bonus tracks three of which are from his album Hammond Tales and feature Rene Thomas... (this information courtesy of dustygroove...) http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=997...p;anchor=463515 (dustygroove lists it as out of stock but they seem to be in the minority) any opinions? must have? worth getting?
  2. klezmatics!! forgot his name but he is such a great singer!
  3. /don't have anything to contribute but) that sure was a really really interesting read thanks to both of you
  4. ah, this seems to be pretty much exactly what i was asking for (alvin batiste, have heard the name, but that's all...)! thank you! Also, thanks a lot to the others! i have some Bennie Maupin sideman stuff including Blackstone Legacy but not as much as i should have, i guess, and mort weiss looks really interesting too (just read the two older threads...) [just looked up that cobham album, a collectables twofer with magic but immediately forgot the correct title again ]
  5. now that we have this great search function there is actually no need to keep things together nevertheless, here are two pascoal threads http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=9885 http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=14307 plus "airto flora and related" http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=24192
  6. what dvd is this?
  7. reading the flute with organ thread, i wondered once more whether there are any recordings which feature clarinet with electric piano? i don't know of any but to me this makes so much sense (i have actually even tried it a little myself and it seemed to work just fine) has anybody done this? there is quite some clarinet with vibraphone which i would say is vaguely related... another combination which does not make too much sense on paper to me but which would certainly interest me is organ with clarinet... has this been done? (and i principally mean "ordinary" clarinet not bass clarinet, although if you have a good idea with bass clarinet pleeasse don't hesitate to post it!) curiously Niko
  8. some more tracks from that tv appearance at youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAWA6VuOW6Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg8hR2D9QgI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4yiUw2rFVc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH2ybFybtCk
  9. Not to mention "random sex". Is that his current wife on that album cover? if it was, would that make things much better?
  10. Quote from 2001: "Only EC card or cash - no VISA, no American Express, no nothing" that's germany, haven't tried but i was told many merchants give you reductions when you first tell them you want to pay by credit card and then ask what the reduction would be if you pay cash
  11. Yup, I saw those too.... Can you tell me why new ECMs are so expensive there? Just curious... never understood why they always have these unattractive new cds at high prices standing between the good stuff, maybe for people who listen to new releases... strange thing about the cheap old ecms is that many stores had them before 2001 at the same prices (Mr. Music in Bonn for instance which I treasure as the only decent record store in town but which is usually much slower than 2001)
  12. Nice haul. What city are you in?This was at the little Köln shop. I've got some discs in my Amazon cart that I saw at "2001" for quite a bit less, so I may be springin' for those as well. God, what a habit... was at that little Köln shop, too, on Saturday and got Mal Waldron's Seagulls of Kristiansund (they have a number of Black Saint items at 9,99 currently (www.zweitausendeins.de))
  13. don't know much Flute with Organ, but one that i like a lot is Seldon Powell on some tracks of Johnny Hammond Smith's Open House
  14. So that's it. my experience with talented people who study, for instance, law is that they become extremely selfconfident; one might argue however that at 275 he wouldn't have encountered limitations anywhere (or was it 235? above 200 it certainly was)
  15. saw that one, too; only JiP jewel case I know; just listening to Eddy Louiss Bohemia after Dark; a big thanks to all who recommended it here; btw, i got this one and the Sonny Criss from amazon.de seller tangotienda; very cheap and reliable, but they are Argentinian editions which have slightly worse printing quality for the cover and have only the discographical info in the booklet, no liner notes...
  16. firstborn, lost my last bit of faith in IQ tests when my brother got 275 points in one - not that he isn't clever but 275... he studies law so he will never get to know his limitations (same for my even younger sister) (as a mathematician i know them too well to consider myself especially smart; although there have been two or three treasured instances where i really saw a thing a few seconds (not more) quicker than people who are obvious geniuses)
  17. no need for google anymore (at least on .org)
  18. last week was my first week away from this board (since i am here regularly)... and now it's like time stood still thank you so much Jim for putting all this effort into it! (btw what i am missing in the new and great looking version are the links to the "today's active topics" page in every thread... but i will get used to it!) (will try the search function next...)

    Frank Strozier

    just had one of the steeplechases, "what's goin on" in the mail today, very first impression, it is fine, but somehow, one factor is mssing, which i really liked about the siamese children (and still find in the VeeJay stuff to a lesser extent), can't really put it in words, some sort of introvertedness which i found pretty unique is not so much here, instead there is something what i would naively call "post bop feel" (and a clear Coltrane influence) (not surprisingly it is much more similar to Little Red's Fantasy but I like that one better...) don't know, just a very first impression i have not yet heard all of it..., the cd reissue which seems to be available cheaply right now has alternate takes of all tunes (67 minutes)... how is the Chet Baker with Strozier?
  20. love this sentence thanks for the link!
  21. just took a short trip to the coffee machine, will now put on... Legends of Acid Jazz Don Patterson / Booker Ervin and am back in the game
  22. Eddy Louiss - Bohemia after dark (partial response to the Louiss thread) Walt Dickerson - To my queen
  23. unfortunately, our feelings are like this...
  24. weird, seems like he really did both, or am I seeing something wrong (or did they mirror all those images...)
