  1. Heh There is something wrong with my microphone at the moment. I've had my headset for a couple of weeks and for reason my mic is not working very well at the moment.Unfortunately I can't return it and demand my money back because I have already lost the receipt What is your Skype ID?
  2. I've used Skype for a few months and I find it extremely useful and it saves a lot of money as well. My SKype ID is Plaexia. Feel free to call me if you like.
  3. Hello there. I attended a job interview a week ago and I got the job! I'm moving to Helsinki within a couple of weeks. Send me a PM if you are visiting Helsinki. It would be nice to meet some fellow board members and to talk about jazz and music in general.
  4. Wanted! Miles Davis: Complete Live At The Plugged Nickel 1965 If you want sell your copy of the box set mentioned above,please send me a PM! European members preferred. I can pay vial Paypal or with SWIFT+IBAN codes (in Europe of course) I'm looking for this box set for 50-65 Euros (+shipping). If you don't have it but you know where I could get it for cheap,then please let me know the site where I could buy it.
  5. And at an excellnet price. Well done, sir! ← I'm very happy Now I'm only hoping that I could get Davis' Plugged Nickel box set for reasonable price. There is one for around 60 Euros in Denmark (www.jazzmusic.dk). I have emailed them several times asking when they are going to accept credit card orders. No replies so far. If you guys know where to find Plugged Nickel box set in Europe for reasonable price,just tell me!
  6. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 At last I will have it.
  7. 29 at the moment. 30 If I decide to pre-order that Cellar door box set...
  8. You stole my reply I've tried to analyze why some people like his playing but I fail to see what's so fascinating about him. He is BOORING.
  9. What a great loss. I have most likely all of his SF books.He's always been among my favorite SF authors.
  10. I attended the local jazz festival and I listened to the following bands/artists.They were all excellent! Martin Kratochvil & Tony Ackerman Marilyn Crispell (solo+trio gig) William Parker Quartet There were other bands as well but I guess those names mentioned above are much more familiar to you.
  11. Bye Al! I have this box set as well and I love his playing on this one.
  12. Aaah..I just love this one!
  13. The latest order from cdon.com. I'm not going to purchase any new cds for a while... Abdullah Ibrahim: Voice Of Africa Abdullah Ibrahim: African Sun Andrew Hill: Lift Every Voice Andrew Hill: Judgement Andrew Hill: Grass Roots Andrew Hill: Passing Ships Andrew Hill: Dance Of Death Keith Jarrett: Radiance John Mclaughlin: My Goal's Beyond John Mclaughlin: Devotion Art Blakey: A Night in Tunisia Art Blakey: The Big Beat
  14. Thank you for suggesting this one. It's a LOVELY album. I listened to this album twice before purchasing my own copy. Very relaxing music.I can play it almost every day.
  15. I like Trovesi. Is that record a tribute to Monk and Weill as its title suggests? ← No. It has nothing to do with Monk.
  16. Gianluigi Trovesi,Coscia Gianni: Round About Weill (ECM) Excellent!
  17. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWA:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWA:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWA:IT I wasn't aware that Bremen and Lausanne concerts were issued in separate cds...Hopefully they are at least those Russian licensed cds. I forgot to ask what editions they are before I placed my bids. Oh well....the total sum for those 3 cds is only around $22 which is roughly around 18.75 Euros with the current exchange rate. And thanks to J.A.W. for selling me his David Ware cds: Godspelized Cryptology Earthquation Third Ear Recitation Go See The World Wisdom Of Uncertainty DAO
  18. Happy birthday! Don't forget, He's not only a Ellington but also a Art Tatum nut as well
  19. Oh those books are EXCELLENT! I've read both of them 3 times already. Very prophetic books indeed! I should have mentioned Ray Bradbury as well.My first SF book that I read when I was around 8 years old was Fahrenheit 451 (its Finnish translation of course, my english was not good enough back then to read my father's english version of it). I guess I understood what the whole book was about when I read it for the first time but when I read it 10 years later it really opened to me in a a whole different way.It's a classic,there is no doubt about it. Why I prefer short stories over novels? When it comes to novels,there are usually too many unnecessary pages (chapters) ,too much "air" in the whole plot and in my opinion most SF novels could easily work out just fine as short stories: just some "compression" here and there and voila!
  20. I began to read PKD's works about 15 years ago and he's still my favorite SF author.Period! Other notably good writers (in no particular order) J.G. Ballard Brian Aldiss Christopher Priest Robert Sheckley (he writes very good short stories,not so good novels) William Tenn Michael Moorcock Harry Harrison M. John Harrison Philip Jose Farmer and many,many other writers whose names I've forgotten already. I usually prefer short story collections over novels.
  21. What makes Night OF The Living excellent is that you can download it as well on your computer http://www.archive.org/details/night_of_the_living_dead
  22. http://www.recordoffice.net/catalog/produc...6a15a90ab2a97f3 If you like Sun Ra you may like this one as well. I couldn't believe what I was about to hear when I borrowed this one from a local library. Excellent stuff! I'm not an expert when it comes to Sun Ra but this album definitely reminds me of his music in one way or another. I bought my copy a while ago. Ps. You can also listen to those songs as well. Just click on Listen.
  23. I heard about them a while ago and my friend borrowed to me all of their albums (even their latest one). They really kick ass!
  24. First Meditations. I just love it!
  25. Brownie! You better not mention Ellington. EKE might get tempted to buy another Ellington box set. He must be the leading Ellington expert on this board board (when it comes to amount of cds he must have already)
