Van Basten II

I know a fellow from Scotland who calls football (aka soccer) "footy." On a football (soccer) forum based in Canada that i used to go on a regular basis the term was used a few times, i guess i picked it up from there. Don't remember if the posters using the expression were living in Australia or former Aussies.

Have not received my CDs yet but i have received the invoice, for those who are keeping score here are the serial numbers of the boxset i ordered. Classic Capitol 3463 Pass 2633 Stitt 2309 Vaughan 2165 Donaldson 1471 Prima Manone 1336

Dave Douglas comes up to my mind. Ingrid Jensen would be my pick for best in Canada

I'll buy a boxset if the artists does interest me regardless whether i have already stuff from him. Gotta say it's more convenient buying those sets than buying individual cds of musicians and figuring out whether you already have it or not.

I'm a fan of the genre and what they called alternative country. I would suggest Calexico, Lambchop and one of my favourite live band The Sadies. For the girls i suggest Neko Case and Kathryn Williams.

Ike Quebec Blue Note 45 sessions. What a great sond he had.

The music in some case maybe overrated but it remains the only way to access in that fashion an ensemble of music that would be pretty hard to get otherwise. Seriously do you know a lot of companies who would work out a box set of guys like Horace Parlan. Mosaic is overrated like Mozart is overrated it wouldn't the same without him.

Well to quote Fats Domino, Ain't that a shame...

Do they sell outside of USA, try to join but i did not find a way to give them my address, emailed them and have not yet received anything either ?

With those i ordered with the last special i now own 17 of them

Just bought this for 27 $ #121 The Complete Blue Note 45 Sessions of Ike Quebec (2 CDs )

Hi i live in Montreal, so i can give you some infos. Sam the record Man is no more, HMV and Archambault on Ste Catherine have a good selection. I suggest you hit the used cd store Cheap Thrills also there is a bunch of used cd stores on Mont-Royal st that are worth checking out. For local jazz acts i suggest that web site that will give you the action in live jazz around Montreal www.sortiesjazznights.com If you need more info, ask me.

They mostly were improvisations, so it's pretty tough to talk about new pieces.

So Sketch discs will be reissued on Minium, as well as new projects recorded? Same layout, it seems, same packaging - that's nice, since I enjoyed that with Sketch! The director of the feu label Sketch Philippe Ghilmetti has found new partners and is back on business and from what i saw it's basically the same style, same musicians. http://www.miniummusic.fr/ Carrothers, Viret etc. Too bad they are out of my price range Ah, sorry, I thought you were somehow involved with the label, that's why I asked that question. But does someone know if Sketch discs will be back in print, too, and under what label (Sketch or Minium, or that Japanese label linked to above - or isn't that a label but just a distributor? My Japanese isn't that great... ) I don't know who owns the rights for the recordings of that label (Sketch), but they are still relatively easy to find.

I would try to turn the discussion to something else or ask if she likes other kind of music. If she asked me to put some jazz i would go with Ben Webster Music for loving or maybe a singer like Helen Merrill, if the bit.. starts telling me that Kenny G is greater i would put some Akosh S Unit or some John Zorn that should teach her

I've updated my profile, i'm actually a Québécois with a wide range of interests.

Minium has taken the place of Sketch. Let's hope we can get a north-american distributor

Glad you enjoyed it, gotta say that it was one of the best programmations for years. Among the top shows i saw. Wayne Shorter Quartet Trio Sclavis, Texier, Romano The singer Kontomanou Solo piano by Trotignon and Pilc John Zorn and the great Chris Potter To quote Sinatra it was a very good year

Thanks guys, unfotunately i learned about Mosaic too late, there is a whole lot stuff that is not available anymore that i would have gladly bought. I think it will take me at least two or three months of listening before going through all that stuff, i'm going to do what i usually do which is watching Footy and listening to my music at the same time.

Went crazy and bought all these #170 Classic Capitol Jazz Sessions #207 The Complete Pacific Jazz Joe Pass Quartet Sessions #208 The Complete Roost Sonny Stitt Studio Sessions #214 The Complete Roulette Sarah Vaughan Studio Sessions #215 The Complete Blue Note Lou Donaldson Sessions 1957-60 #217 The Complete Brunswick and Vocalion Recordings of Louis Prima and Wingy Manone (1924-1937) Do you think my owner won't mind if i don't pay the rent for the next months ?
