Bad English is one of the most important languages in the world today, for instance it's the language of many scientists... of course, this means you have to see lots of Bad English around you, but - as the others have pointed out above - this is a relatively small price to pay compared to, e.g, someone from China who has to learn it from scratch in order to communicate... and believe me, it sucks to communicate half the time (and do almost all of your writing) in a language you will never really master... yes, the amazon report is not easy to read, but for me it's still easier to read than Spanish... and sorry for having gotten angry, I was in a bad mood anyway... Back to Mingus

don't feel like discussing it, but statements like this one always make me angry, it's not "your" language anymore, and after all that brings loads of advantages to you guys... just don't read it if it hurts you so much

Happy Birthday, Jim!

not really of help either, for particular release estimates, you can of course sometimes use google books and look whether it was advertised or reviewed in billboard...

there's a huge difference between knew and new besides that, congrats, still looking for my nw bass player

here is a pretty nice Tapscott site in French with accurate-looking discographies of both Tapscott and the Nimbus West label http://bjazz.blogspot.com/

every day i come here in the hope for posts like this one (and it often takes months for one to come up) - thank you very much, waiting for more now (and will tell a friend who's a big DP fan to come here and wait for more as well :-) )

If you meant to say the specific case you're talking about is mentioned in the Wiki entry, I didn't see it. it's also found in the wikipedia article on a guy named Ryan Giggs

all i can tell you for sure is that there's indeed no sax on 2 (in some parts of the world, the album can be streamed here)

there's also the (digital only?) one by Peter Bernstein on Xanadu

the Eddy Louiss is not from the original Jazz in Paris Series, right? (Orgue vol 2 was in the Series as Bohemia after Dark...?)

that's something i don't quite get: the Rollins I see frequently, the Miles, too, maybe I've also seen the Monk... but is it true that the Evans and Monk are available only from amazon.it and not from amazon.de, and why... btw, grooves-inc has the rollins box for 20.29 Euro with free international shipping, no idea how great a deal this is... (or is the Rollins really from Concord?)

Happy Birthday!

since this song (another version) is our contribution to this year's european song contest, this song and its obvious deficiences are a big issue to most of us here...

thank you very much for all your good wishes!

don't think that thread was Blue Note specific, definitely started by jsngry with the kontomanou... anyway this one would fit into that thread

there's more info in this session under the link i posted (including a lengthy discussion of when it was recorded, release date was in 1953 apparently)

Ruppli's Savoy discography only gives the following: Recorded May 27, 1954, Chicago (purchased from Parrot label) Coleman Hawkins (ts), with unknown organ, piano, bass, Buddy Smith (drums), vocal choir Thanks for checking. I wonder if anyone really knows. I'm only curious because the organist's sound is a bit off the beaten path. Not anything radical, just kind of different. from the Red Saunders Foundation page

not quite a saxophone, but otherwise Dizzy Gillespie's Digital at Montreux with Toots Thielemans and Bernard Purdy fits the bill...

they're not criticized - but i would agree with the writer, that you will always recognize someone who praises Mingus as a Jazz fan - with someone who praises Armstrong you don't know - that could be anyone... so if you want to show that you're an insider, it's better to talk about Mingus...

Happy Birthday, Allen!

but the second track on the first album (Dirty Work) does have a short Jerome Richardson solo...

January 3 and 4 1996 http://www.wnur.org/jazz/artists/eskelin.ellery/discog.html great album!

iirc Jazz Beat is pretty close to the black side within the gray area... which doesn't mean, they wouldn't copy japanese cds if available instead of going through the troubles of dropping needles...

(you haven't reissued it yet, but that sounds like a good start...)
