thank you; wonder whether Johnny Griffin had a lot of influence on the production process (the sound samples on amazon.de sound like him btw)

WTF??? Who the Hell is that, Paul Whiteman? Not Whiteman. It's Johnny Richards! Did they mix up their Johnnys? What's with the bathrobe, I wonder. the remarkable photograph draws the attention first... but: (Question to the native English speakers) Does the album title make any sense?

and i didn't even know about the fifty year rule for cars

wonder how ebay will get around this problem (which keeps prices down)

cool story! (btw as the link slightly mislead me: it's post 60)

link to that recommendations thread http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...c=34704&hl=

sounds "insanely good" to these ears... that those who regretted that Wayne Shorter didn't play more like Albert Ayler didn't enjoy it back then, ok... that not everyone loves the cover art as much as i do, ok (same with little red's fantasy btw) but it is insanely good, Shaw is great on it, Jack DeJohnette is great, and LaMont Johnson was a really nice surprise...

i got jackie mcleans demon's dance for christmas and liked shaw so much on it that i got several of his leader cds since then, Blackstone Legacy, Little Red's Fantasy, Rosewood and Dr Chi... none of these I regret buying, but for me only Little Red's Fantasy comes close to Demon's Dance (followed by Blackstone Legacy, then Dr Chi and then Rosewood...) ( so my recommendation: get Demon's Dance)

it isn't actually i see i almost spoilt the story by not mentioning that he actually was looking for "straight ahead jazz" (= anything that will never be recommended in a free jazz thread) but didn't buy anything earlier than 1990 because of the poor recording quality, he said, like he was on the watch for the latest Scott Hamilton record or so (and from all this you could tell that most likely he was not completely together allthough i am still not certain)

out of curiosity: does that have some jazz aspect to it? (all i know by Korngold is an opera i once saw, liked it a lot but it sure wasn't "jazzy")

happy birthday!

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...
