already got it on saturday and love it - thought about posting it under "exceeded expectations" but after all it's not much different from what i thought, i just like it much better than i expected

thank you!!!

there is some new stuff at 2001, some Verve stuff at 3,99 each DeFranco, Buddy/& Oscar Peterson PLAY GEORGE GERSHWIN Ellington, Duke/& Johnny Hodges SIDE BY SIDE Evans Trio, Bill AT TOWN HALL VOL. 1 Fitzgerald, Ella/& Louis Armstrong ELLA AND LOUIS AGAIN Henderson, Joe LUSH LIFE McLaughlin, John TIME REMEMBERED - John McLaughlin plays Bill Evans. (don't know if these are all) and also at 3,99 some of those Spanish Time Life Blue Note records such as Baker, Chet THE BEST OF CHET BAKER SINGS Carter, Benny ASPECTS Davis, Miles BALLADS & BLUES Jones, Thad DETROIT NEW YORK JUNCTION Lovano, Joe TENOR LEGACY McFerrin, Bobby/& Chick Corea BOBBY MCFERRIN & CHICK COREA Scofield, John/& Pat Metheny I CAN SEE YOUR HOUSE FROM HERE Tristano, Lennie/& Warne Marsh INTUITION Young, Lester THE COMPLETE ALADDIN RECORDINGS VOL. 2 i think there was more stuff i didn't know in the lone hill/ fresh sound corner but i don't really have an overview on this

somehow, i tremedously enjoy the idea of "Manfred" playing a record such as Jan Garbarek's Rites to Wynton Marsalis and saying "this is roughly what i had in mind" - don't know if Marsalis would do a second album

not sure whether this is what sometimer happened to me... if it is: click on options (in the upper right corner of the first post in any thread) then a listbox opens and the last three entries are the "display modes" what you have right now sounds like "Linear+" to me - what you want is "Standard" hope this helps edit to add: i sometimes experience this when entering threads from google :-) (as if google has saved links with these settings - don't know about these things)

it's one of the best written jazz books i ever read (the only interesing book in the local library)

don't know it long enough to really say something but at the moment i really really like that 1968 Reunion Big Band MPS album not to forget the subject of the thread: Dizzy Gillespie - Digital in Montreux

mmmmaybe i should prepare a list of artists who "covered" cole porter

don't know if that makes you feel better, but it's not entirely a French phenomenon...

same here

Argh, don't even get me started... All those nice Art Pepper Contemporary albums... Those CDs by people I didn't even know about back then... It really was a great time. I got pretty much everything on Fantasy from the likes of Cannonball, Lockjaw, Bill Evans, Bobby Timmons, Blue Mitchell, Booker Ervin, Shelly Manne (four of the five Blackhawk discs!), McCoy Tyner (his Milestone albums were a revelation to me!), Sonny Rollins (all except three of his Milestone CDs!), Eric Alexander... all for €2.99 each - or even less in some cases! It was insane! in the beginning i thought i was only interested in Jon Eardley, Zoot Sims, George Wallington and the like... only 2 Shelly Manne, way to few Art Pepper, didn't get any Charles Earland or Rusty Bryant... didn't get any McCoy Tyner, not all the Johnny Griffin or Jimmy Heath I could have gotten, way too few Cannonball, no Kenny Drew, only about half of the Coltrane Prestige stuff i could have gotten... just too much for buying a box set at the moment, didn't get the Mingus Debut Box, or the Rollins Freelance Box... no Jackie McLean, not all Sonny Criss... list is getting longer every day - should be much more grateful for the many great things i found out about in the past 9 months or so...

what a great record store that must be...

Looks like LP only. I've been resisting getting dragged back into the vinyl world, but it is suggestions like this that weaken my resolve... there was a recent CD reissue probably following the Conn... amazon.de has it mombasa - african rhythm and blues at amazon.de

me, too, i think even more than 150; but the worst thing is that every day i spent at least ten minutes thinking about the CDs i didn't get...

using my superior searching abilities i came up with this bit which i would not consider particularly offensive:

ah, I understand

did that, too... especially after my pretty decent 900$ tenor had fallen to the floor and repairing it would have cost 700$ so i had to play on other people's instruments and played a lot... when i was 20 and had the money for the Selmer together it was pretty clear that i wouldn't get to playing anymore workwise... so i spent 400 $ on a really old saxophone (B&S is the brand, its from the GDR and i think vintage is not exactly the right word it looks great though) think i have played a total of 5 hours on it in the last 4 years (not too sad about it as i never became especially good)

well, actually i had intended to buy albums until 2050 or 2070... same here... but even if CDs disappear, we can switch to vinyl in 2040 or so!

well, actually i had intended to buy albums until 2050 or 2070...

btw, in the liner notes to Elmo Hope Trio and Quintet it says that "Carvin the Rock" is referring to Riker's Island (The Rock) as well...

one of my favorite jazz records, great band with jerry lloyd and john williams

did anyone understand the reason he gave for closing the aucions? "a mistake in my listings" don't see why he had to close auctions on anything he could offer again the next week... how could he hope to explain anything with this "big apology"?

same post again but correct is "african high life" site:organissimo.org

my girlfriend came home from work last week almost pissed because a group of colleagues wanted to go to a jazz concert and asked whether she wanted to join (how could they think i was interested in this type of stuff she knew what she WAis talking about )... but she has her own musical obsessions and thus understands what is going on

i got a sampler called "black california. Central Avenue 1945-1950 " from sagajazz (www.sagajazz.com not available in the us it seems from looking in amazon.com) there are many great tracks on it like early mingus, roy porter big band, howard mcghee with teddy edwards, early gerald wilson, that first harold land session with froebel brigham... so i am definitely interested in recommendations as well...!
