fent99

I've a question regarding Charles Lloyd and wonder whether anyone can help. In 1999 I was lucky enough to be in New York when the Jazz Festival was on. I caught a couple of shows and picked up a flier saying they'd been recorded and dutifully checked to see if I could order them. None of the shows I'd seen showed up unfortunately but I did see a Charles Lloyd show listed and had heard Voice in the Night so I ordered a disc full. (with a couple of fillers by Charles Gayle and the Brilliant Coroners(!)) Couple of things: Can anyone confirm when/where the show took place (All I have is June 3-13 1999 New York) Knitting Factory maybe? Does anyone have the rest of the show? I like the studio albums but this set with Lloyd, John Scofield in for Abercrombie and I think Marc Johnson on bass with Higgins is brilliant and I've been kicking myself for not springing for the whole thing... Any info would be great. Its a great idea too and a shame its never really caught on...

Hey Chris Definitely post the info here since not all here get along to AAJ. I think Ubu's directness might be lost in translation somewhat... Newbies and Street teams (esp) get a rough welcome but don't take offence since supporters/fans are very welcome here!

PM'd all 3 above. Many thanks Colin

Any one able to help out a UK fan looking for a bargain? Will cover costs of course?

Anyone looking for 1957 of this great series? I picked up a spare (open but mint) and would be happy to trade or sell for a sensible offer. In the UK by the way. Edit to say this is gone by the way

PM sent on the Duke Ellington cd. I did not get an answer until today... Both gone... Sorry for the delay in responding on the Ellington. Been a bit busy. Hope you enjoy Tommy!

Been a while since I've seen anything here so have a couple of things (not all music so hope that's ok) to offer up. 1. CD - Duke Ellington Private Collection Vol 6 Studio Sessions NY 1968 Kaz (note the Kaz discs have diff Vol nos to the US editions) 2. t-shirt - Jazz Record Mart Chicago logo t shirt, grey XL. T-shirt offered since I directed a friend to the great shop a while ago. He loved it so much he bought me a t-shirt. However its a size XL and is so tent like on me, I've never worn it. Any board members like their t-shirts extra large? Send me a PM if you're interested in either. I'm in the UK by the way

PM'd on Vienna Art Orchestra and Konitz in original list

Lots more worth exploring though his backings are usually more blues/rock than jazz. Sanity Stomp has Wyatt helping out on half the record. The Virgin records are mostly pretty hard to find though

How about the box set Forecast Tomorrow seen it for £10 in FOPP and only have Heavy Weather. Worth it?

Just a note to say that I'm fine for September but won't be ready for sooner (though I'll get it ready over the next few weeks) Cheers Colin

Love the Callier albums from the 60s (on Cadet?). He's pretty a popular live draw in London and part of the Soul Jazz revival of a few years back. Saw him live a couple of times and in a club (Jazz Cafe) where he was brilliant. There's some live stuff on (premonition?) easier to find in the US since I think the chess/cadet albums are european issues

I haven't heard Silent Pool, bluenote82, but it probably should be on my "short list" of must-hears. Alan Broadbent is a marvelous arranger. There are maybe five or six jazz "with strings" albums - tops - that reach me. This sounds like a candidate for a spot on that list. Any other reactions to this album? I don't know the album but the title tune is one of my faves of hers. The with strings version is on a compilation and there's a trio version on a live album at Yoshi's. I first heard it played solo on one of her Piano Jazz progs, maybe with Jim Hall?

Thanks all. Been busy and not checking in so much but thanks! No music this time but some gig tickets so really happy! Cheers

Disc arrived at the weekend, Enjoying the first few tunes love the groove on this and the bass sound is familiar. Track 5 grabbed me most so far with the drumming in particular excellent against the pretty tune (a bit like Some Other Time?) More later

I'd be happy to step into the breach (and I happen to have the Japanese cd too!). Just send me a PM Bertrand. Likewise. Happy to help if ever needed to bypass these ridiculous territorial things.

A friend who has a lovely Rega turntable needs some help with this. Problem is his laptop is a mac. Anything similar for mac's?

Tricky Lots of folks I'd pick lots of tunes Randy Weston Little Niles

Something was pointed out to me the other day which made me think. Now a new ipod has a storage capacity of 160 gig and they reckon thats 40,000 tunes. If I bought these all at £0.79 a song thats over £30,000 in monies to itunes. Does everyone have a collection worth that to put on it? Wonder what the average lifetime spend on music is. For some here it might be that much since there are serious collectors but not for the average ipod buyer.

I imagine that the group on the Knit compilation was probably the Jazz Passengers, in which case, yes, these are the same guys (well, some of them). See above for the exact i.d. of this track... I almost put a Bailey track on this disc, an untypical one where he plays some swing guitar in tribute to Teddy Bunn. This guitarist spent some time in Spain. I'd like to hear Bailey play more straight but am a little scared to take the plunge on any more of his records since I haven't really got any of the ones I've bought so far

I too have succumbed and ordered a set so I've been doing a little listening to the one disc I have (used to have a UK twofer of Tetragon and another album which I traded at some point seem to remember it was incomplete?) All I have is The Elements which I'm sure divides folks but I've always liked it and Alice's harp alway hits a note with me. If there's a criticism is that Joe is buried in the texture? Love it anyway Waiting for the box now...

Apologies for the lengthy delay in responding and will post more later. Enjoyed but found it abit hard work in the car... Will post a fuller bunch of thoughts later. Thanks! Well its later already and since noone has posted behind me. Can't ID anyone so won't try 1. Goofy and I've no idea who this is, reminds me of something on a knitting factory compilation I used to have but have no longer (I might appreciate them now!) Downtown-ish and a bit clever clever, Fiddle reminds me of Final Fantasy if there are any fans of Owen Pallett out there 2. I like this, nice drums and like the guitar once it gets going nice mellow 'silent way' vibe with a bit more energy 3. Fun stuff, sounds like a nice gig, good latin vibe great bass playing nice tenor sound, choppy guitar 4. Not really my thing Derek Bailey kind of stuff. I saw Bailey once and was kind of mesmerised to see someone play a guitar so unlike anything else I'd ever heard. On record it doesn't grab me in the same way and neither does this unfortunately. Nice sounding guitar though (and I just about liek the bit where he goes all flamenco...) its just as I get older I like a bit of a tune! 5. More downtowny kinda thing with maybe more style than substance. I like hearing a trumpet though and this is parpy enough to grab you by the scruff of the neck and make you pay attention 6. Takes a long while to get going but enjoy it when it does, about the 6 min mark they hit a great ensemble passage, nice bass figure and soloing in unison over the top. Worth the wait and kinda like Pharoah Sanders revisited 7. Not so keen on this and can't really work out why. Piano is the leader and makes it a bit forced? 8. Not for me and a bit squeaky and indulgent. I love violin in some contexts bu this does nothing for me 9. Like this a lot, I hear a bit of Carla Bley in it nice bone and clarinet and a sense of humour (maybe a european one?) 10. Not so keen on this, bit flat and without a tune? 11. However I love this! Nostalgia mixed in with improv and nearly a tune! Lovely and too short so usually had to play it twice. Recognise noone on this and certainly had my ears opened a bit. As ever makes me want to dig out some of my own records and have a re-listen. Early Carla Bley, something with Mark Feldman on violin and Pharoah Sanders Karma so I can relive a bus journey round a chunk of Australia... Thanks!

Mine's here too Thanks
