    I assume this one whould have enough solo space for Wierbos: It's a solo trombone record on DATA.

    Hmm, I didn't like this one too much. I like Dickey, and the bassist is good, but I have a problem with Rob Brown (not only here, but basically nearly everywhere I've heard him). Technically he is very strong, but stylistically... I feel he is comfortably stuck somewhere between 60's McLean and Dolphy, and this is not what I am interested in hearing from a modern musician... I will listen to it again. Actually, I remember there was one disc with Rob Brown that I liked - and it also features Dickey (on AUM): -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Supersilent, I've been meaning to check since you and ubu brought them up way back when - at the inception of Funny Rat. I'll check them out. And Jagga as well.

    Me too. CRIPES UBU! Get with the program, would you! B) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks Hans for the information on the Brotz Hat release. ubu, you'd better standardize on 40 posts per page... don't test the limits of our tolerance -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anybody here heard Andre Jaume's "Peace / Pace / Paix" (CELP)? It's a trio with Jaume on ts and bcl, Charlie on Haden and Olivier Clerc on drums. Beautiful melancholic stuff. Jaume has a pretty unique sound (very soft) and melodic concept (...flexible - really free,meaning not particularly "out", but liberated - a bit like Lee Konitz, with endless melodies created out of nowhere). Haden plays beautifully and Clerc provides understated clever drumming (a lot of brushes). Interesting selection of compositions: a couple of Ornette's (in general, the whole disc has a bit of Ornettish feel, but more relaxed and melancholic, as I mentioned), four by Haden, two by Django Reinhart and one each by Buddy Collett and Jaume himself. Highly recommended. I got my copy from themusicresource. So should you.

    Barre Phillips is not too bad a bassist either . Guy and Phillips have a duo record, don't they? - Anybody knows it by chance?

    That's my problem with Mahall - excellent musician, but too much Dolphy...

    Good news - Schiano is a wonderful musician (ubu, you can hear him on the Italian Instabile Festival double CD)! And bravo to Atavistic for digginig up this really obscure stuff.
  9. It was released on CD on Leo Records, but it's long OOP. As far as I know, there are no plans to reissue it. It is actually not that good, and if you want to hear the same compositions perfomed better, get Ed Balckwell's What It Is? and What It Be Like? on Enja.

    I have realistinc expectations to begin with, so I am not too upset about the avialbility and delivery time. There is still some stuff at themusicresource that I couldn't have gotten elsewhere at such a price (or at any price). And keep in mind, that each of our unsecussful orders makes their database more accurate

    It seems to be available at http://www.themusicresource.com Well, it's not.
  13. Clean Feed, could you post information on how to order from you directly and what the prices are? Thanks.

    Hey, and I see that Don Cherry's "Brown Rice" is available for €7: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000...5460409-9124811 A great work.

    Well, I can't find anything good in this country! So I guess I'll have to go to France or US (even including the ticket, it might be cheaper than buying here!) to look for a good HiFi. However, the main point on my agenda now is to get a proper storage for my CDs - and I can't find anything appropriate in Switzerland - so I have to order CD racks with menuisier! Insane. Currently I have a ... hmm... "compromise" HiFi variant - Denon CD player and amplifier and Sony speakers. CDs sounds better than original music, he-he. P.L.M., I remember you talking about Hans Koch elsewhere - care to share your thoughts? Isn't the man the the dashittiest bass clarinet player today? And I am sure you have a lot of Barry Guy - so don't be shy, give us some recommendations.

    Some of recent MPS reissues are available for under €7 at amazon.de: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/search-ha...5460409-9124811 I can't comment on most of them, but Zoller-Koller-Solal is very nice.

    He-he, Pilgrimage is not particularly good. It sucks, to use the language of our generation. The one to get is Great Wall (also with Jon Jang). It is cool, as we young people say.

    Tony, could you send $24 ?

    Great news (if it is really relased)! I will send an e-mail to Gebbia and see what the status of the CD is. If and when it is released, I hope it will end up at indiejazz website.

    I saw them in concert about three weeks ago... and? ...and it was an excellent concert. Thanks for the review Alan! And post your sketch when it's ready.

    I HAVE to get all this Koch stuff. ubu, keep me in mind next time you visit this store. ----------------------------------------------- Now, our friend ubu gently but firmly insisted that I listen to Lacy-Cox-Humair CD called Work (Sketch, 2002), and man, is this a great work. Warm, humorous and imaginative music. And what a sound -this might be one of the best-.sounding CDs I have. Get it, if you still for some reason don't have it (indiejazz has it for $12: http://www.indiejazz.com/ProductDetailsVie...x?ProductID=91)

    I checked Intakt website and well, Inscape-Tableaux has the same band, but with Marylic Crispell instead of Fernandez (anf thinking baout it now, they are pretty close in style, aren't they?): http://www.intaktrec.ch/guyneworchestra.htm Next purchase is a no-brainer, he-he.

    It was muscular, but not overly so. There was some intricate and varied writing, incluing solos (I assume solos were 80% scripted). I don't have any of the other Barry Guy large band projects (neither do I have anything by London Composers Orchestra, which was (is?) directed by Guy). But I know that soon I will have A LOT of Guy's CDs...
