  1. 80 percent of my listening is mp3s (deezer) and i'm happy with it, i don't pay much attention to drums usually but can easily understand if anyone who does is offended by mp3s since often the higher-pitched parts sound quite strange imho...
  2. What would be better to play as background music for sexy time with the 30 virgins by whom he'll be greeted in heaven? had hoped my lou reed's transformer cd was a target cd but apparently it isn't, at least the guy lists it as a non-target cd... does that mean it's just a cd?
  3. funniest thing i ever did in a concert was getting rid of half the embarassment at a gig that turned out 300% more teenage than expected by telling the promoter to announce us as "just plain pop music"... he didn't say goodbye afterwards... can't compete with the scott hamilton story... a local quartet, all in their late twenties, in between sets the pianist tells the trombone player "you know, with all the things you are i'm really through now, it was a good time but now i've absorbed that tune to a point where i can't hear it anymore", trombone player, "ah, and i thought you had just forgotten those eight bars during my solo..."
  4. why tf does anybody collect sealed cds? http://www.keithhirsch.com/sealed-cds
  5. Ron Carter - Where (still surprised how good this is - guess i could have expected it...) Lou Rawls - Black and Blue/Tobacco Road Hank Crawford/Jimmy McGriff - Crunch Time
  6. Oh. My. God. That literally sounds like a nightmare to me. How do you live like that?! it worked pretty well until this thread came up... spend quite some time looking for the two cds mentioned above, found them and even discovered three more cds which weren't literally lost but which i would never have found where they were... but in the course of all this i noticed i lost two more cds were missing, including one of the recent blue note deletions... have listened to both some time in the last few weeks but have no idea where i put them (i do have the cases, it's just the cds that are missing) this thread is driving me nuts!
  7. google prefers to view the board this way... whenever you enter the board through google your settings are changed to this, also, iirc someone posted a link to a thread somewhere in the last few days which was in that formatting, so if you followed that link...
  8. then i guess you have a few weeks to try out deezer as you like if you want to... (guess it's their mistake, they do pay royalties but they pay them as if you lived in france) so if you were curious about jacques thollot's nato album, john betsch's strata east album, bernt rosengren's emi albums, the horace tapscott/sonny simmons album, those black and blue cds or a zillion other things... emi, universal (including many ojcs and ecms) and the others (guess you have access to most of that through lala but here you can play stuff as often as you like)
  9. we're on 30 by now! will have to fight for my own scholarship in the next few hours... rules are even less clear than at brickfish and nobody can really help me besides myself... (so as far as i can see i can't really make it based on my own achievements anyway and have to rely on good will - so i guess there isn't really a reason to be as nervous as i am)
  10. didn't post here so far feeling slightly uncomfortable for whatever ideological reasons... love the kihlstedt / satoko fujii album! (to mention a few names once more, mary halvorson, zeena parkins, andrea parkins, matana roberts, don't love everything about jenny scheinman but at least she's much better than mark feldman)

    indeed - after rereading i'd say there's not sooo much evidence for iron city being the verve session... looks like it wasn't the case rather; bill heid said iron city was recorded in pittburgh which would exclude verve, but then heid also said it was patton on organ which is apparently wrong... chuck said verve would have recorded at rvg and there seems to be a consensus that this is not true for iron city... indeed two of the tunes coincide between the two sessions but then there are other tunes as well, which green recorded on several occasions, fat judy, go down moses... the presence of fat judy suggests patton but then it seems that green had similar tunes with patton dixon and with young jones (only example that comes to mind is i want to hold your hand which was only recorded by the second group... pretty sure there are more examples...) one more thing: that they take photos before the sessions, of course. but does it make sense that they actually had the list of tunes together for the session before recording it? was production back then like that?

    wasn't there another thread (and a hypothesis, that at least the first session was iron city in disguise (two titles duplication as far as i can see)
  13. just read a job application from someone who bragged he had taken a course in "business english and accademic preperetion" (in defense of the public school system it should be said though that his grades in english were always between C- and D )
  14. seconded? looking at the albums he produced it's hard to imagine he was only after the big buck or that he made it by producing the albums he did... notably baker didn't reach the level of the seven carpenter albums in years to come and his next albums after carpenter were much more commercial (if i get this right, the baker album on the link jim posted is not a carpenter production...)... after all, the carpenter albums i am aware of, at least before the late sixties, are pure jazz - not the easiest music to make money with, and strung out musicians can also be found in other genres...
  15. there's this court case surrounding evil ways, sonny henry and richcar but i just find the solution, not the problem... http://ny.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocVi...41022.NY.htm/qx i also found henry's and carpenter's names on two stanley turrentine albums, seems henry was carpenter's latter day jimmy mundy... STANLEY TURRENTINE: WEST SIDE HIGHWAY 1978 FANTASY RECORDS STANLEY TURRENTINE: BETCHA 1979 ELEKTRA RECORDS
  16. heard an elderly gypsy in a call-in radio show a few weeks ago, his problem was that he had shot his wife sometime in the late seventies because she had cheated him and missed her badly he had just wanted to shoot the other man... the moderator asked "so, how come you had a weapon in your appartment", guy didn't understand it, so the question went back and forth a few times, then the man started to say "i'm a gypsy" but the moderator kept asking until after five or six exchanges the guy made it clear that by "i'm a gypsy" he meant "i'm a gypsy and all gypsies have weapons so i have a weapon, still have one at hand..." ... conversation didn't really lead anywhere - wants to say: they're fierce people...
  17. next time... what was richcar vs towns (anybody have access to a database with court cases?) and who was sonny henry ... http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon...HC=22&SID=3
  18. also this http://www.sec.gov/news/digest/1962/dig073162.pdf (first entry on page 4)
  19. and then i found this ?! http://richcarmusic.net/

  21. funnily, in mundy's nyt obit it says he leaves a wife "brucie"... http://www.nytimes.com/1983/04/26/obituari...?sec=&spon= gladys bruce and mundy were definitely still married in the sixties, and in the 13 August 1953 edition of Jet there's this short bit of news: "Singer Gladys Bruce, wife of arranger Jimmy Mundy, is starting a new style fad. She wears odd shoes and gloves." ( http://books.google.com/books?id=nEIDAAAAM...p;lr=&hl=de )
  22. yeah, but why was Gladys Bruce also known as James R. Mundy & Illinois Jacquet.... nothing much to be found about carpenter except that like so many his career started with dizzy gillespie's late forties big band... http://books.google.com/books?id=HR4EAAAAM...p;lr=&hl=de http://books.google.com/books?id=iUEDAAAAM...p;lr=&hl=de http://books.google.com/books?id=p7EDAAAAM...p;lr=&hl=de http://books.google.com/books?id=TrsDAAAAM...p;lr=&hl=de
