Teddy Edwards - Back to Avalon

The resurgence of Dexter Gordon (jazzland ojc/deezer)

some discussion in this previous thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=44009

Freddie Hubbard - Without a Song

Andy Sheppard - Movements in Color (nothing to do with this, but deezer now has pretty much the same emi collection as lastfm (and spotify i guess...))

bought that one about a year ago and it's still my first mosaic... played it again a number of times during the last week, you can't go wrong with that one, only along came john is available real easily and (knowing that with patton albums everyone has different favorites) to me that's the weakest of the bunch, my favorites are that certain feeling (which isn't even available on cd from japan) and oh baby (which is tough to find otherwise i believe); (concerning the packaging and stuff, i must admit i didn't quite get the magic of mosaic: the booklet contains a short note from cuscuna, less than a page, the original liner notes and reproductions of the covers of three of the five original albums, which is of course fine but not really better than lonehill, plus they messed up the sound at the beginning of the way i feel; guess the big boxes are a different deal) so this one didn't get me to buy more mosaics but to seek out pattons other albums which was difficult d expansive enough ...

i like that weird nightmare cd a lot (strange that you mention threadgill, never really noticed him in there, lots of fine don byron in there for instance, hal willner's project)... interestingly a lot of the material in there is taken from relatively early albums (bohemia, pithecantropus...) and somehow i felt myself when playing mingus tunes a few months ago that these made more sense played by me than later ones...

I think this may be against boards policies. If this is against board policies I withdraw my offer. Where can I find a list of board policies? there is no list... only last week a moderator got into bad trouble for starting a thread we must not speak about anymore.... the policy in this case is either "no trading/making available... of stuff which is under copyright in the US" or "no trading/making available... of stuff which is under copyright anywhere in the world" (both sound pretty reasonable to me) which doesn't mean your offer wasn't kind!

nobody expects him to fix this all by himself (i guess)... but if your business model is reissuing out the same music again and again in different incarnations you got to do it properly - we're not talking about the tyrone washington trrainwreck here...

in another patton phase at the moment... can't really find an answer online to the following question: if i want to get an impression of patton playing (arranging, composing...) with lloyd price: what are some tracks to look for?

thanks for the link! (now playing jenny scheinman with jason moran, greg cohen and a drummer...)

don't quite understand whether you count kirk as part of the older stuff or not... a natural next step from kirk is of course mingus (say, east coasting, mingus ah um, black saint and the sinner lady) otherwise, of course, some duke ellington... others know better what to buy there, but from my own exposure i'd start with a cd or box covering, say 1927-1930 and something covering the time around 1940... (open to suggestions there myself actually since i only have long cheapo compilations....)

happy birthday, jim!!

due to lastfm spotify and deezer i do much more discovering than i used to... not so much single artists at the moment, rather "projects", one project is violin players, jenny scheinman, mark feldman, carla kilhstedt, leroy jenkins... another one is california saxophone players earl anderza, jimmy woods, hadley caliman, teddy edwards, daniel jackson, the guys on nimbus west... i have also started listening to "hyped jazz musicians of today" recently, a group of people i had neglected for a few years, played matana roberts, lionel loueke, mahanthappa/iyer...; also quite a bit of discovering in the esp disk and tzadik catalogs... then i also developed an interest in "piano dominated" jazz which i had avoided for quite some time, mostly along two lines, the beboppers like bud powell, al haig, duke jordan, dodo marmarosa and through the french pianists, michel graillier, georges arvanitas, martial solal, also alain jean marie,... (which actually also got me started with european jazz more seriously for the first time...) single artists i am most interested in at the moment are mal waldron and sonny simmons... (but both on and off for quite some time) fifteen years into listening to jazz and i believe i rarely discovered more than at the moment...

always the wrong ones... but thanks!

belated happy birthday, david!

Bye! I disagree that this forum is infected with hate. If anything, I think this is the more laid back of the two jazz boards on which I post. seconded, maybe i'm naive (i know i am) but i must admit i also don't see the hate so many others are seeing... but since jim is one of those i guess something needs to be done; thank you very much jim and organissimo for taking the trouble - my life is so much richer with this board!

Fire with Von Freeman (deezer)

can accept the disappearance of the getz thread as a one of a kind thing... but then i saw the thread except for the last three hours or so and i really don't get what was so bad about it... most of the trouble came from "invaders", there was a bunch of interesting information, didn't quite buy the baby story (but then larry didn't pretend it was true for certain...) but besides that bev didn't have much more to say than "i know dozens of stories that are even worse but i don't buy these" which i found not as spectacular an addition to the thread than she did... if anybody had thought stan getz was just some guy who had babies for lunch we wouldn't have started that thread (or at least we'd have discussed it differently)... as far as i understood it the thread was about the famous "bunch of guys" if a thread started by a moderator leads into that much of a hassle i guess that means the rules aren't clear... so if i get jim right and this is a thing that's gonna happen here with some regularity from now on i for one would like to see the rules... once talked to a photographer who had taken some photos of joe albany sent them to him and albany had sent back a thank you post card and some lps... from reading albany's daughter's book the story is almost unbelievable - but that certainly doesn't mean i don't believe her... just shows once again that people are complicated

mostly selects: andrew hill (the first one) randy weston charles tolliver anthony braxton dean benedetti's bird recordings

just playing it (courtesy of lastfm) can't really describe it but the organ setting sounds perfectly natural to me (like, in a parallel universe they would write they couldn't really imagine getz with a piano group...) but then, eddy louiss is not a typical organist either (often reminds me of an accordion player)
