once observed a conversation between two men (who obviously didn't know about the connection between eggs and sunnyside up) one had that quinichette in his hand "another one of those covers that have nothing to do with the music" (and imagine how completely nuts that cover (these covers) must seem if you can't associate it with the album title)

Here's a question I've always wanted to ask these zealots: which is worse: a gay couple who adopted two Guatemalen (sp?) girls and bring them to church and Sunday School every Sunday? Or a hetero couple who don't attend church except maybe Easter and Christmas? (The first situation is a reality, BTW. I'm sure the second one is as well; but the couple in the first situation and their kids are dear friends of mine) always wondered what's the worst of these: only going to church on easter, only going to church on christmas or only going to church on both concerning Guatemala: definitely a step into the right direction; long as we do not treat at least most of those already living on this planet more or less adequately there is really no reason to complain about people producing no offspring

!Happy Birthday!

stupid question from someone who may know about Hasselhoff but not about this american debate: even if homosexuality is "only" a life style choice: where is the problem? i mean, that "murderer" or "terrorist" are life style choices which are harmful for the society as a whole i do understand - but is being gay any more harmful than being married (man-woman i mean) and not having children? what's the standard argument at this point?

West Coast?

i'm also missing the proof that homosexuality caused by tofu or whatever is but don't forget

did you know hitler refused to take any money for his, ah, administrative activities, claiming that he earned enough money as a bestselling author; but that he earned tremendous amounts by (illegally but somehow it as overlooked) not paying any taxes. oops wrong thread actually when people said you should post outside the politics forum they were thinking of Jackie McLean

started the year mostly with Libertines/Pete Doherty/Babyshambles Bootlegs then in February I rediscovered jazz after a three year more or less consequent break and got more interested in it then ever, this board and the ojc sale at 2001 being the most important single factors besides the music itself - thank you; spent arguably the most productive six months of my life up to now from March to August with two daily visits at 2001 between working hours, no time for lunch in later weeks roughly i made the jump from 200 jazz cds (most of which i bought between 1996 and 2000) to about 500 this year... the three single records i played the most were Johnny Griffin "Grab This", Don Patterson "Boppin and Burnin" and Prince Lasha feat Sonny Simmons "The Cry"... these days "the complete imperial sessions of lou blackburn", Kenny Dorham "Round About Midnight At The Bohemia" and Yusef Lateef "Eastern Sounds" are important discs... hadn't seen it this way but seems like i listened to a lot of west coast stuff, too

i think the correct command should be "dark star" site:organissimo.org/forum so that google knows what belongs into the web address and what to search for...

have a happy birthday and a great year

thank you! too bad i have to work and can't continue discovering the endless possibilities of this...

and i didn't even know they were allowed to show jewish women on Iranian television... but luckily she wears something on her head

now it's there... East Coasting is great, at least just with regards to the contributions of Shafi Hadi and Clarence Shaw i might like it even much better than Tijuana Moods; Hope is great, too; will take another 50 listens to find out whether the Rivers and the Hill are masterpieces or great but overrated records and I just "ran into" an AbraxasEsp sale where I got Albert Ayler's Prophecy and New York Eye and Ear Control and Charles Tyler's "Eastern Man Alone"

well, don't forget we're collectors

why not disagree... nothing against the playing on Soul Electricity (Stitt simply means a high basislevel of quality) but the concept...

just to make sure everything Adams ever did gets a mention in this thread two fine Mal Waldron Prestige jams he's on are Gene Ammons "Blue Gene" and John Coltrane "Dakar"

reading Shirley for Rhoda i like them both a lot but i think i like the OJC of Scott/Turrentine "Blue Flames" even much better though it only has one album on it...

Which Stitt is the best? There are almost 10 of them! It kills me that Concord is going to delete these before I get a chance to listen to all of 'em! Guy 24236 Sonny Stitt (Low flame/Shangri-la) (the others i have are boss men (similar but half a star less) and brothers 4 (has been discussed in an aotw thread not everyone's thing)) (and don't forget the Patterson/Ervin stuff) edit to rewrite this with slighty more time favorite is 24236 Sonny Stitt (Low flame/Shangri-la), Shangri-la is the best/liveliest single album of the ones i know, just the trio of Stitt, Patterson and Billy James, Low flame is earlier and "adds" the guitar player Paul Weeden which is a nice change of pace; The Boss Men are more than two LPs of Stitt/Patterson/James, nice but as i said i my favorite trio lp of those i know is Shangri-la; Brothers 4 is Stitt/Patterson/James plus Grant Green this is the most controversial one I think, it has some very nice Patterson ballad playing iirc, this is the record where some people say the varitone attachment is not functioning properly / not plugged in whatever... it does not do much harm on the second half of 24210 Sonny Stitt/Don Patterson (Funk you DP/Soul electricity SS) the varitone is definitely working properly not really my thing... the first half is Stitt/Patterson/James plus Charles McPherson and Pat Martino, just listening to this, great duet track between Patterson and Martino not bad but i was a little underwhelmed, as 1) Pat Martino is very good, but not as good as on Patterson's Boppin and Burnin and especially not as astonishing as on the first half of 24237 Don Patterson (Four dimensions/(rest of) Hip cake walk + other bits from session) (first half=Houston Person half with astonishing Martino, second half fine trio of Booker Ervin/Patterson/James - not a full LP but a full session that contributed to three LPs) 2) the material and the overall impression, e.g. of McPherson is not as good as on really really great Patterson's Boppin and Burnin (with the same line-up except Howard McGhee instead of Stitt) [as I said i'm just listening and I already see myself editing this again and improving my impression] that edit: Funk You is really better than i remembered / described it above though maybe not at the level of Boppin and Burnin... Soul Electricity is odd - like an experiment what happened if Sonny Stitt played the old songs (Stella by Starlight, Strike up the band, Over the rainbow) again but this time using the modern varitone attachment - the result is pretty much exactly what one expects it to be - hardly anything has changed; but there is no saxophone sound anymore and instead there is - well not really anything... it's not that i hated the varitone or something... but if you just use to make some weird before/after picture that's somewhat thin

I think so. Isn't he a forward for the German national football team and Bayern? A midfielder, Dmitry, a midfielder. Bastian SchweinSchwagerSteiger in a rare photo without his guitar. never heard it, if his guitar playing is as fluent as his speaking, i am sure it's very special

this order should have arrived today Charles Mingus - Eastcoasting Elmo Hope - Trio and Quintet Sam Rivers - Fuchsia Swing Song Andrew Hill - Andrew!!!

A Johnny Griffin Riverside Box would be another fine box of non-Prestige material

even today's BN? BN is Lion/Wolff! Beyond that it's a different world just had the vision that Concord start putting out Michael Bolton on Riverside

even today's BN?

yes yes yes! i've thought about that set a lot, too... What would that comprise? One Clay/Newman, one Don Wilkerson, one Roosevelt Wardell; and one by someone called Morgan, which I've never seen or heard - is that it? MG my list from memory (so certainly missing something, maybe getting something wrong) would have included, Clay/Newman James Clay Double Dose of Soul Don Wilkerson Clifford Jordan Spellbound Lenny McBrowne and the Four Souls - Eastern Lights (with Don Sleet) Paul Serrano Blues Holiday (with Bunky Green)

yes yes yes! i've thought about that set a lot, too...
