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...!

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
