Ha ha. Here's what I don't get. These so-called Andorran labels (and indeed others) issue material which is still in European copyright owned among others by EMI, Sony/BMG, Warner and Universal. This material is distributed throughout Europe and sold by respectable retailers. I'm not talking here about material out of European copyright, or about bootlegs or anything else. Is it really the case that these large companies can take no actions to defend their own copyrights? Can Universal do nothing about Lonehill's Illinois Jacquet and Johnny Hodges issues? Were Warner unable to act against Gambit's Paul Desmond issue? Do Sony/BMG have nothing to say about Lonehill's J.J. Johnson? Do none of these companies at least feel inclined to drop a line to amazon to ask them to quit stocking them? The boots and out-of-copyright issues are an unrelated matter. Here the question is in-copyright material where the owner is a large company which appears otherwise able to police its rights. The usual bluster aside, does anyone have any facts on this? guess these firms are simply lacking the knowledge to find out whether it's their material or not

in my world (born 1981), jackson was always a celebrity in the first place... i definitely was aware of him from the age of ten on or so (his nose and stuff) but did not really hear his music until three or four years ago (to find that i had heard some of the songs before, of course)

sam merrill's mason hoffenberg interview/article (from 1973 when hoffenberg was staying with richard manuel), first read this years ago because hoffenberg was a character in my then-favorite book (kerouac's subterraneans) but i guess it's more interesting to a dylan/the band fan after all... http://theband.hiof.no/articles/mason_hoff..._few_licks.html

I just found the single disc reissues of "The Band" and "Cahoots" and played both... continuing to be very, very excited! Also picked up some Joni Mitchell and Ry Cooder. I've heard "Mingus" and some 90s stuff by Cooder (mostly the cuban albums, including the fun one with Manuel Galban). These will have to wait for my return from vacation in about two weeks, but I'm looking forward! where are you? somehow, i really didn't plan to discover him and i really wouldn't say they are brilliant and that's it... but i can't stop playing terry callier's first two cadet albums...

One of those fancy pumpernickel and sunflower breads? it was called "urbrot" (ancient bread?), and seems to be a pretty ordinary bread with rye, tastes excellent though, bought much older bread at the full price elsewhere often enough, no idea why it was priced so high (actually never went to that store because it looked like an expensive place from the outside but they got this nice box with vegetables that still look half-decent, today i got broccoli for 1 euro a kilogramm and it's even organic...)

now i share my birthday with duke ellington and was born the day cat anderson died - how does that make you feel... the sales person at the organic food shop was already complaining about having to listen to mj all day at work... but then i got a 4 euro bread for free so i'm not complaining...

imho 99,9% percent is a pretty high figure and unlike her i enjoy listening to kitsch and/or noise from time to time - but then how many girlfriends agree that lucky thompson is much better than diana krall, norah jones, keith jarrett and albert ayler alll rolled into one (and yes ,that's not her only quality)

to lazy to start a new thread... anybody got an idea what this is? can't even find the name of a single musician... Detroit Jazz All Stars - Music from the Connection hard to decribe, definitely more danceable than the other versions i've heard... there's some sort of directness/smoothness in it which i found a bit irritating at first... but then somehow this has more hard bop credibility to be than many more authentic recent albums i've heard can be streamed here (should work even from the US for this album...) http://www.deezer.com/#music/album/171592 they also have the mcghee/brooks version btw... http://www.deezer.com/#music/album/176960

for my girlfriend krall is up there with albert ayler ("99,9% of jazz are either kitsch or noise or both", and those two are among the worst from that point of view)

been wrong with this type of argument before in this thread but - the last site he had was duisburg university which seems like an unlikely affiliation for a dentist from the black forrest - so my guess was that someone offered frohne the webspace he got for free from his university ... that person moved away from duisburg and nobody took care of finding something new...

no, he didn't die! just his webpages (as far as i can see he had two pages, one with a smartkomp address which can be reached via the archive, posted the link in the warne marsh revelation thread, mostly label discographies on that one, tutu, revelation,... and another with an uni duisburg address (believe that was his) which contained a warne marsh discography for instance (maybe also an ndr?) and that one seems to be gone without traces...

on whose site was it? (if it was on michael frohne's (now dead) page i'd guess there is little chance - all i could find there was a note that he's writing a book about the ndr workshops..)

seems recklinghausen '66 was indeed the ndr "south of the border" so i'd guess the others were as well; apparently it was ndr jazz workshop if hans gertberg did it... (not the most interesting facet about this report, btw http://www.jazzprofessional.com/report/BER...LETTER_1966.htm )

revisiting the stuff that bothered me before i found a new hobby in searching the web for traces of people like nathaniel meeks... http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/...ckingbear2.html

for a total of 20 euros... Pat Metheny/Ornette Coleman - Song X Ornette on Tenor Philly Joe Jones - Mo' Joe and on Vinyl James Blood Ulmer - Odyssey Anthony Braxton/George Lewis - Elements of Surprise

stupid question from a mosaic newbie: can i still wait for the next pay at the end of the month (usually)? wanted to have those two badly... thanks Ron!

funny that quite a few of these concerts were outside the ndr territory (berlin (sfb), recklinghausen (wdr), frankfurt (hr)) - naively i would guess these weren't really ndr jazzworkshops, but who knows... (the current map http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...=20080108210754 )

Charlie Parker - In Sweden 1950 Charlie Parker - Verve Master Takes

used to enjoy ordering my cds in different ways but now i keep them in disorder... i often don't find what i was looking for initially but i always find something to listen to ... borrowed a cd from a friend recently and it seems to have vanished, rebought it for him, guess it won't reappear before i buy it for myself as well... got an empty case back from a friend, three weeks later he gave me back the cd and i put it into a case with some other cd that was lying around because i couldn't find the right case... now i have the case but i have no idea where the cd is - guess i'll have to open all cases some time in the near future (sonny stitt - legend of acid jazz: low flame, my favorite patterson/stitt cd...) so the approach does have its downsides (and it only works because i have a (by the standarsds here) small collection of only about 1000 cds...)

NICE! also art farmer, coney woodman and bill green http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=cr...0interviewer%22

didn't really smile for a bunch of days, then had a few beers and read this glorious interiew with gerry wiggins http://www.archive.org/stream/centralavenu...00wigg_djvu.txt and it really really helped... ; don't know his music but he comes across as a real cool guy

considering the troubles he apparently has with speaking (obviously because of the teeth...) i find it amazing how good he plays...

happy birthday!

i like ali g much more than the other two characters, and maybe that's because in the ali g things cohen contributes most of the fun himself (while especially borat is much more centered around confronting people with awkwardness...) (first became aware of cohen when a friend told me borat was an exact copy of my former neighbor from the student dormitory from uzbekistan... and cohen admitted that for borat he simply copied some guy he once met... we really did have situations like... girlfriend and me having dinner in the kitchen khusni comes in saying "what do you guys think about oral sex?" [don't know what we answered] "there's this huge problem with all these new tricks i learned from my girlfriend - what can i do that my wife doesn't notice" [waits for a question about the specifics of those tricks, question doesn't come]; or we meet khusni going for a walk in a relatively busy place "hey, khusni, where are you going?" "oh, i am going to the bath, me and my friends go there every friday..." "you like to swim?" "no it's just i like to masturbate in the children's basin"... against a guy like that it's hard not to feel incredibly square; (still feel bad about saying during a community meeting "see khusni, your girlfriend is a prostitute and there's nothing wrong with that, it's just, she has much different health risks than the rest of us and thus maybe, if it's ok with you, could you guys use the shower on the left so that the six others can use the other shower without worrying... you know very well one phone call from any of us and both of you'd have to move out"[because only one person per room is allowed]... or how he told - with obvious pride - those stories about his grandfather raping women in poland at the end of ww2 despite the fact that he had lost both legs... how the "business men" from his village stayed with us, they'd come walking 60 kilometers from the airport with a plastic bag full of dollar bills (through an area occupied by, say 2 million people) and spend five hours under our showers apparently they'd never seen such a thing... another neighbor from the east, rather the uncle of a neighbor who was also staying with us "sir, could you please clean the toilet you obviously just pissed and masturbated into the basin instead of the toilet and wtf did you put the stopper in?" "i am awfully sorry, but you'll have to wait until my niece comes home from work, where i come from men never clean anything" [borat would never have done such a thing] so to say i lived borat for two years and can't really find he is exaggerating or treating people overly mean - after all, he dissappears from there lives after a few minutes long post - in short i can't really find borat funny, it's to cheap a success... ("throw the jew down the well" is indeed a bit suggestive... but honestly i did not feel sorry for the football stadium full of people who freaked out when borat sang that potassium from kazakhstan is better than potassium from elsewhere in the world...) wonder if someone like ali g does indeed exist... have a similar problem with bruno, people like that actually exist... some ali g favorites: religion: science: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjKMhtyI3L8...feature=related the law:

FWIW when I had my netbook in the States I could use my Uk Spotify account... so there must be a workaround... you can use spotify while travelling for two weeks - then you must login from the UK again...
