they should start making impossible boxes like these in Spain... (or have they already?)

who'd have thought that Zorn was a Lincoln Center Regular thank you for posting

Thanks for bringing these videos to our attention. Here are the links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilezfXEtcag...ted&search= Wow, thank you Guys!!!

didn't find my own copy but www.archive.org still has a copy of nabil totah's interesting recollections of zoot sims (some more is found under http://web.archive.org/web/20051124084550/...totahbass.com/)

another great record with great KD on it is Oliver Nelson - Meet Oliver Nelson

http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/labels.php don't forget to look at the other labels they own/distribute...

the barron "modern windows suite" made its way to my post box this morning, it's actually not a double CD but a 73 minute single CD produced in 2002... most notable thing is, that this contains only the Modern Windows Suite but not the rest of the album Modern Windows, plus the complete "Tenor Stylings of Bill Barron" including the alternate take "Desolation"

damn, i just ordered my first Bill Barron CD, as in the Savoy thread everybody says over and over how glad they are to have theirs had i waited another 15 minutes it might have been the first Weston, sure looks tempting

finally made it to 2001 this weekend and got the two Ortegas, Koglmanns L'Heure Bleue, Snijbloemen, Eskelin, and Jon Lloyd have spent some time with most of them and like them a lot, almost regret i didn't try Maneri as i like the microtonal string section on the Eskelin a lot (but i had heard some Maneri on the radio ten years ago and didn't like it at all); L'Heure Bleue even has - besides all sorts of nice properties such as Tony Coe - a Tony Fruscella composition, Baite, on it (which, it seems, he didn't record - google suggests that it crossed the Atlantic with Brew moore), the Ortegas, i didn't get another Ortega record in a sale last year and it has haunted me ever since - still these, and especially New Dance which i am just hearing, are much better than i expected... (Snijbloemen and Lloyd i didn't really hear yet) Thank you so much guys!

My thoughts exactly. I enjoyed both MM albums when they came out, but I do not rate them as highly as a number of other Canterbury albums. mine, too; maybe even closer to Soft Machine Vol 2 than to the Wyatt Solo stuff i know, liked it but haven't listened in a while

i like thirdstream (and could not let go that possibility to write the great word "thirdstreamish") and i like other lateef - even if it's not like the third stream i know (or not even third stream at all) i am on the safe side i think... (apropos lateef and third stream: yesterday i noticed that the strings on YL's Detroit were conducted (?) by William Fischer, Joe Zawinuls collaborator on "The rise and fall of third stream")

thank you for this great write up... seems like i will have to try out a thirdstreamish one next (having eastern sounds, other sounds and into something...) i think the rvg of eastern sounds has been discussed somewhere else as having a very strange mix (a lot of treble?), i only know the rvg and love it though i do think (but don't know much about these things) that the bass sounds a little strange a lot of the time (listening to it right now, one of the records i keep at my office, perfect to calm oneself down and (mentally ) put things back where they belong)... what i want to say: other sonic upgrades may have higher priority...

sometimes you have to travel hundreds of miles to find one... !Congratulations!

thank you!

my French is just good enough to see that this might answer Steve's question but I am not sure * Légendaire aussi : Tony Fruscella, l'Open Door et le label Spotlite. Tony Fruscella est majestueux dans ce plan "américain" ; le visage de profil ; les yeux baissés ; une cigarette à la main ; à l'écoute des autres musiciens.

Here it is: edit to add: don't know if the covers here are rare or anything but I had a good time looking at them: (you have to click at the letters to get to the lists of artists starting with that letter) http://www.positifs.org/jazz-passion/8-deq...chdisqindex.htm

the cigarette picture is fruscella from what I've seen elsewhere and he doesn't look much like Brew (there is also the (nice!) Cover Photo of the Spotlite LP which I can't find on the Web right now - there you have the two next to each other and can see pretty well who is who) recollections of brew by piano player Lars Sjösten: http://www.sami.se/art/sjosten/bms.htm

Chesney Baker is actually an interesting example of over/underrated because if you forget about the fuss they made around him in the 1950s (which is easy to do after all this time) and look at more recent times or at the opinions on this board (which is actually pretty close to the jazz public today, ok, most are more or less well-informed, many have to do with jazz professionally but what else is there...) then I'd say Chet Baker is either underrated or correctly rated (Kenny G is a more extreme example of such an artist) and indeed there are people here and there which say that he is better than his reputation, that the excellent ones among his later European recordings are overlooked... (typical signs of an underrated artist)

I think some items they already had last year, Grossman and Mehta/Lovens for example, I am pretty sure I saw in their rest bins last summer... but I might mix something up thank you for the hints! would have overlooked Lloyd otherwise!

Since yesterday 2001 has updated the homepage and (essentially besides a (larger) bunch of Telarc Stuff, Oscar Peterson ... McCoy Tyner, whatever) they have the Hatology Releases I have listed below... any thoughts what I have to get if i want to spend, say, 24,95 Euros and each costs 4,99? At the moment I am thinking about the Ortegas, Ellery Eskelin, one Koglmann and... but there are enough names that don't tell me anything such as Guillermo Gregorio or Lauren Newton and people about which I hardly know anything such as Jörgensmann...

haven't had a good idea since June and no results at all since November, whenever i look at the stuff I lose interest/concentration after less than 10 minutes which is simply not a good basis for anything ... my boss hasn't said anything yet which I really appreciate but i suppose it's just a matter of time... usually April and May are my best months but we are not yet there and i start to get nervous (and who knows whether this April will be as good as those of 2005 and 2006...)

All I get is a 'Not Found' answer that's sad, it was a fine homepage... maybe I saved his recollections of Zoot (on another computer so i can't check right now) if anyone is interested i can try to find it!

Happy Birthday! Start a great new year!

maybe this is a good place to remark that the fine (written) Buddy Collette Autobiography which Isoardi put together is available at a severely reduced price, eg from amazon...

+ he has already recorded with Baron on that Don Joseph LP + the first pre-Masada recordings on Zorn's Filmworks III are dedicated to Fruscella / Triglia (who Zorn acknowledges as one of the major influences on his piano playing )+ Jaques Coursil (and many others) got their chances on Tzadik still from what you wrote elsewhere about Triglia it sounds unlikely that he would participate... (to name just one reason against it) [i suppose he knows / you tell him from time to time that he still has fans all over the world ]
