imho the next elmo hope you need is home-coming (which is also on the all-star sessions twofer but without alternate takes and with one master take exchanged for a slightly shorter alternate... excellent cd anyway) bought some used cds Philly Joe Jones - Mean What You Say (Sonet) Gene Shaw - Breakthrough Chris Woods with Georges Arvanitas - Chris Meets Paris Meets Chris

at one of my two favorite used cd shops they just got a new guy who actually knows his jazz... you can already see it from prices which have gotten much more reasonable in both directions

As far as railway is concerned, this must be a typically british obsession. i know these guys as well (more accurately, i know these crowds of men standing at the train stations on weekends trying to take photos of (ordinary-looking) trains...)

there's this theory that the majors use these companies to press money out of venture capital funds (because these free music websites generate lots of traffic and are successful in a sense but don't make enough money to survive...) so if you're concerned about venture capital funds...

!!Happy Birthday!!

There is one entry in Bruyninckx for 1989 which mentions Jimmy Woods. It's an album by Januscz Carmeillo called 'Portrait' on the Hep label. Jimmy plays on one track, 'Daydream'. It was recorded on June 3, 1989 in Edinburgh, Scotland. why couldn't they make it three tracks... thanks!! been playing these albums quite a lot recently... imho awakening is a good deal better than the rest... (and it's one of my ten favorite hard bop albums), back to avalon has really grown on me though... (but more for the package as a whole and for teddy edwards contributions) (only recent news item i could find, posted this before i guess http://www.mtaonline.net/~midnight/james.html )

just wondering, i don't have the lord discography but their webpage says he participated in 11 sessions between 1960 and 1989... i am aware of eight sessions (possibly some of these are more than one session..., actually in the case of awakening i am almost certain) Jimmy Woods - Awakening Jimmy Woods - Conflict Teddy Edwards - Back to Avalon Joe Gordon - Lookin' Good Chico Hamilton - chic chic chico Gerald Wilson - three sessions in the mosaic plus studio work with nancy wilson - so there isn't much left? but i'm wondering about the 1989 entry... would anybody be so kind to look up for me what else is in lord? (just the titles...) there's also one session with joe gordon and horace tapscott in the tapscott collection at ucla which i guess isn't in lord...

mentioned this before, deezer has a beta version of their new website up for using here http://www-v3.deezer.com last time i looked they didn't have country restrictions yet (more accurately they had the french restrictions for anyone) and no registering so that you can stream the stuff of the four majors (their european programs including many ojcs) and many mostly french smaller companies as well... (edit to add: as often as you like)

it's hank mobley's birthday!

somehow although i can see the importance of those columbia albums there are relatively few that i actually listen to... current top 5 Mingus Ah Um Leonard Cohen - Death of a Ladies' Man Bob Dylan - Desire Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde Miles Davis - Round Midnight

happy birthday

!!happy birthday!!

happy birthday!!

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...

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?

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..."

why tf does anybody collect sealed cds? http://www.keithhirsch.com/sealed-cds

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

ordered the jones...

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!

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...

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)

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)

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)
