even more belated best wishes, Bill!

so sorry to hear this, sincere condolences to you and your family, Rolf!

the yardbirds did record some big john patton on the other hand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Your_Love_(album)

i mean - either Davidson is as naive as the story makes it seem - and then why no tax evasion documents on his hard drive - or the guy is not naive and that opens up all sorts of possibilities... at least, the tax evasion thing seems like a reasonably hard fact to be found out during the investigations (?) the computer guy will know that he will not get away with this story unless it's proved, if it's not it will probably make his matters worse - so i tend to believe Davidson had something to hide (the alleged porn collection does make the story sound a bit suspicious though)

Why? Because the guy in jail has started insisting that he just gave them the money? If its true that they were charging his credit card $160,000 a month, what does that tell you? It tells me they were charging him for some ongoing "service" and royally screwing him over. the possibility that the victim was unusually panicked by the virus because he had all his tax evasion documents on his laptop makes his behavior sound a little less weird to me than before... still doesn't quite explain where Opus Dei comes in - but factoring in that probably both sides are making stuff up, at this point i can imagine a bunch of things that happened... (i mean - maybe these computer people just knew enough to have him go to jail if he didn't pay and that's what they got their money for... and now both sides are trying to get out of the whole thing by telling tales...)

The way the story is told here http://www.lohud.com/article/20101110/NEWS02/11100342/-1/NEWSFRONT/Oil-heir-Roger-Davidson-says-he-was-a-victim-of--grifters- is sufficiently different to make one wonder...

apparently a man who died a year ago at 91 and who was later known as Antenor Moreyra Lima or Nato Lima http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_%C3%8Dndios_Tabajaras

belated happy birthday!

here's another fan of the Akosh S Unit, have been for many years... (as an aside, i also really like his contributions to the (pop music of) Noir Desir, like the clarinet solo in Le Vent Nous Portera

a belated happy birthday, Brownie!

song of these days, Fehlfarben - Paul ist tot, a local classic...

to make staying home easier... maybe i'm just ignorant, but imho it's getting worse every year, counting one artist I wouldn't object to hearing (Scofield)... (and maybe Niedecken plus big band for the curiosity value but i doubt that would carry me through the evening... well, actually this clip is sufficient for me)

I was wondering about this interesting photo from the October 22 1949 Baltimore Afro-American: Do I read this right that it says the second guy on the left is Tadd Dameron? Is it really him? What's he doing with the trombone, i.e., is it known that we was also a trombone player? (others on the picture it says are Jimmy Mundy, Gene Ammons (so the later Richard-Carpenter-Crew is together), and Pearl Bailey...)

Von Freeman himself on the issue: "Now, a lot of people don't know whether it was Claude McLin on "These Foolish Things" or myself. There were several tenor players that were on these different jobs, and they were mostly using my rhythm section. And I really can't tell whether it's myself either, because almost all of us were trying to play like Lester Young at the time, because that was the thing to do if you were able at all." from here: http://www.jazzhouse.org/nlib/index.php3?read=panken12

at least in my part of the world in can be heard here - good one!

They were reissued as a mid-priced CD a year or so ago. The first place I saw them was the Jazz Loft. They never did get around to "La Note Bleu", "French Ballads" or "Wild Dogs Of Ruwenzori" though. Of these 3, the only one I missed was "French Ballads". I found "Wild Dogs Of Ruwenzori" to be too "smooth" for my taste. Wilen does Kenny G? Kevin strange, i was under the impression, La Note Bleue was in that batch, too, at least i saw cheapcopies around the same time (and got one, would have to look for it to see when it was made)

to me it looked like they tried to add the Dixon to the second batch after his death? at least that's what i'm, hoping...

strange, i've already seen that Rudd/Anderson picture a few minutes ago! had been wanting to ask about your gig, glad to hear of a great night!

can i have the political forum unblocked as well? think i have distanced myself enough from the board to differentiate by now... ;-)

not 100% certain, but this is what i would have thought as well; unfortunately the Dixon, Motian and Russell boxes are not up on the grooves-inc site yet - so there's a small chance those will be expansive there,.,.,

FWIW, grooves-inc.com now has the Taylor and Bowie sets for iirc 18 and 16 Euro - might be worth waiting for their prices of the rest...

Jack Graham who played on the Sunny Murray ESP album? was also irritated by the remarks about Demons, didn't really fit my image of Henderson...

you leave me puzzled with this one...

so it's indeed the 15 albums I listed above plus San Francisco Holiday... thanks!
