similar thing (?) happened to me with The Cure sometime last year (depeche mode are still on my explore list)

i suppose this text is the answer to some sort of very rude attack

Yes. Devil is always waiting ´round the corner.... i don't like to say this but I just browsed their online catalogue and there really were some additions (Pat Martino - Strings, Wes Montgomery - Full House, Harold Land - In the Land of Jazz, and more...) I bought yesterday: Kenny Dorham 2 Horns // 2 Rhythm and Joe Albany with Warne Marsh

this is my first experience with "out-bop" ... sounds ugly (or s that a widely used term)

from what I found I would say anyone who has the possibility should check out the local 2001 store... (concordconcordconcord ) I bought Barry Harris "Newer than new" Don Wilkerson "The Texas Twister" Don Sleet "All members" for 2,99 each but left (for the usual reasons not more than two CDs at a time) there, among others, Sonny Stitt / Gene Ammons "God Bless...", Rod Levitt, Sonny Stitt "Goin down slow", Joe Albany with Warne Marsh, the third Chet Baker with George Coleman, Oliver Nelson "Straight Ahead" and "Afro-American Sketches" and many more which came in today

just saw this is not really correct, some stuff from this batch is already sold out (Kerry Dancers ) at least online, other stuff was (I think) added to the online catalogue after 1 July, like Philly Joe Jones "Philly Mignon", McCoy Tyner "13th House", the third Johnny Hammond Smith... I was early at the shop today they were just preparing the new items (not available online I suppose) and I could just see Oliver Nelson "Afro-American Sketches" and that three people were busy with the CDs so I hope hope hope that when I go there again (very soon) that there will be several very nice CDs waiting for me...

this somewhat cryptic entry *Lenny McBrowne & The Four Souls Lenny McBrowne & The Four Souls, PJ-1, 1959 (Re-released by Toshiba Emy of (city_____ , Japan-----year?) C.D.? on this Daniel Jackson homepage http://www.learningtreats.net/DanielJackson.htm seems to suggest that the album actually was released on CD sometime (btw on the page it also says that Jackson's mother came to California from Texas - so Jackson is another Texas tenor with "Ray Charles"-experience who appears in Cannonball Adderley's production series for Riverside (besides Fathead Newman, Don Wilkerson, James Clay (and anyone else? still lokking for a complete list of the Adderley productions))) I'd love to have those two albums, but on Vinyl I would not listen to them often enough

no possibility to vote for "European"

I guess it's more some kind of leftover sale - they get new stuff in now and then, it seems (when I did my second order - the above one is the third - I bought all I wanted, so most of the above wasn't in stock back then...). But I wouldn't wait too long, if there are things you really want... (Screams stage right from bank account) Thanks. (Screams stage left from hifi.) It's taking me three days to play through all my recent albums at present. Ah well. MG of course, whats sold out is sold out, but usually they change their programme every two months (= next time from August to September) maybe then there will be new 2,99 ZYX CDs but from what I see at the local shop I don't really believe it, the market seems to be somewhat "filled" (like Booker Ervin "The Song Book" for 2,99 lying around for more than a week without being bought)... I don't know if I remember the number right but I think they had bought about 300000 CDs from ZYX I suppose they can't continue until they sold them all

looking at his early record covers now I find the clothes very ugly in the first place (don't have the pictures right now but I think, e.g., Robert Smith of the Cure wore similar (but much prettier) Hawai shirts around that time) but as you said it paid off...

first saw that cover filed under Pop/Rock at my local record store... (wouldn't know where to put classical musicians playing jazz either, world music? haven't heard it)

my dad (born 1949) left me only 9 LPs (i think he essentially stopped listening to music around 1972 and was just beginning again at the end of his life when I began listening) this is the list john coltrane - kulu se mama miles davis - nefertiti gary burton - feelings and things don ellis - electric bath soft machine - vol. 2 and fourth pink floyd - ummagumma and atom heart mother rolling stones - it's only rock'n'roll but I like it very much late 60s but still pretty flawless and a great collection for someone who didn't buy more... looks a little like someone helped him (when I asked him about his LPs in the mid 90s he said, well they were sure not bad, the best ones were by a group from the netherlands called soft machine)

this is indeed a good argument - at least there will always be as much chet baker available as one may want to buy suppose i will take mabern and once upon a summertime and will later add the other too if I want more baker or more coleman (which is rather likely - but this is how it always turns out)

thank you all for your recommendations - looks as if the decision is really not that simple, (partly because the stuff is not so essential that one is forced to say "get all of them" - especially given what else there is at this price) I think I take one of the Baker/Coleman CDs and than get the others depending on how much I like each of the two... (although de Valk seems to favour "Once upon a Summertime" of the three Baker CDs) (but as I am typing I'm listening to Johnny Griffin "Grab this" and think that I should maybe get Griffin's "Kerry Dancers" first, one at a time turned out to be a good rule, since I usually can't keep from going there twice a day - you never know what's in the "blue boxes") (thank you, Ubu, also for that short moment of imagining the Bud Freeman / Chet Baker record - those 20 seconds before it dawned on me that you meant Russ certainly belong into the better part of this day)

admittedly, buy 299 get 1 free doesn't sound like a great offer... strange thing is, i think, that inbetween all those 2,99 and some 1,99 CDs there is one CD, Stan Getz "Quartets" which is supposed to cost 3,99 - I am constantly tempted to buy it just to find out why... but have resisted so far

i prefer to call them Fantasy/OJC 2,99 € discs

fetish = buy all the seven (?) Baker albums they have for 2,99 = no problem -_- it's not that easy

after having bought about 150 CDs at 2001 2,99 sale in the last two months I try to restrict myself a little, for the usual reasons, now, there are those four CDs which (of course) are somewhat different, but also somewhat related, and I decided I'd buy one first and then maybe add some of the others... but I can't decide with which one to start. I don't have any Chet Baker except the Paris Studio album with Dick Twardzik (but just read the de Valk book and am curious), no George Coleman except Maiden Voyage, no Mabern, no Gregory Herbert, no Buddy Terry... these are the four CDs, I'll write in brackets what "attracts me to them" Chet Baker "On a misty night" (3 Dameron tunes, curious about Baker and especially George Coleman) Chet Baker "Stairway to the stars" (also 3 Dameron tunes, curious about Baker and especially Coleman) Chet Baker "Once upon a summertime" (curious about Gregory Herbert and Baker) Harold Mabern "Few miles from Memphis" (Blue Mitchell is on it and I'm curious about George Coleman; might be sold out soon) I'd really be thankful for a hint at a good starting point... niko

i recently switched on the TV at 10 in the morning and found a 30 minute excerpt of some concert of Don Menza and Carl Fontana with the WDR big band... nice surprise

in this interview: http://members.aol.com/pgrsel/barrett/twink.htm Stars drummer Twink mentions that all Stars gigs were recorded... not the greatest interview possible (my favorite Q/A is Ivor Trueman: What about Mick Farrens solo album, Mona? Twink: I play drums on that.) but it's also a little about Tommorow that predecessor of Yes

sad... his solo albums are so beautiful, had thought of him this morning, (my favorite Barrett song) FEEL You feel me away far too empty, oh so alone! I want to go home Oh find me inside of a nocturne - the blonde how I love you to be by my side they wail... the crowd on her side she straggled the bridge by the water... She misses her crawl far ley grew heady aside in a dell inside an eye be the lonely one, my bride how I leave on the waddling wheel they flail... a gasp shringing a bad bell's ringing the angel - the daughter... You feel me...

funny, when I posted I also thought it was Danny Thompson... but Thompson only plays on Drake's first album "Five Leaves Left" (don't have it here but I think it doesn't have any arrangements for bass section), on Bryter Layter the bass player is Dave Pegg (Fairport Convention??) and on one selection Ed Carter... I once read a (relatively old) interview with arranger Robert Kirby who really seemed to feel a little bad about getting this wrong credit, so one might think it should have been corrected by now

on nick drake's "bryter layter" (not exactly jazz but ray warleigh, lyn dobson, chris mcgregor on it) the brass arrangements are still listed in the credits as "bass arrangements" - must be somewhat depressing for the bass player...

my brother started (at age 5 or 6) playing using the suzuki method... the advantage was that he (and the other children) really had fun playing together, started to love playing music... the disadvantage was that at age twelve when he got another teacher he had to learn a lot of technique because in that suzuki group he didn't hold the violin the right way..., he didn't stop playing then but I think some of his friends did. I think whats problematic with violin (oboe is similar) is that it often takes years until it begins to sound good (on the other hand it is at most technical levels relatively easy to find people to play with, orchestras... later on) edit: i would also definitely not recommend starting violin without a teacher... there may be instruments where one can just try around for some time, maybe clarinet, piano, drums (although in all those cases there will be technical arguments against it). with violin i do not think this is a good idea (besides the technical issues i suppose its not that easy to figure how its supposed to be played)

just rembered that spann's flute playing on side by side were one of those things that brought me to jazz (12 years ago when I was 14) - haven't pulled it out in years but will do that this afternoon...
