  1. Replied. More additions and changes
  2. updated, some price reductions, some additions & deletions
  3. Mid-70s, bright and sunny here in Los Angeles. Year-end weather, right on schedule!
  4. I was going to post this in the You Tube thread, but couldn't find that thread and instead found this one.
  5. Here's a link to a longer ten-minute version on You Tube, just sent to me by another friend. One of the more astonishing medleys I've ever heard or seen. There are edits evident in this version as well. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=RwhDe56O9f8 There are just too many things worthy of comment. At 8:50 when "Fables of Faubus" kicks in, are those Japanese translated Mingus lyrics, or entirely new lyrics? What's with the flower-egg? Etc.
  6. I'm having the same issue, using the newest Firefox, can't find a Preference to change it. But links are opening in the same window (Tab) rather than opening a new Tab. I just looked through organissimo preferences and Firefox preferences, but haven't found the correct place yet. Anyone know how to change that setting?
  7. In your opinion, maybe; I strongly disagree Well, other than mine, in whose opinion would that be? I assume you're a big Santana fan; it just didn't have the same magic for me. The Springfield was not bad. Liked some things I heard. I always get an uneasy feeling when people are expressing opinions as facts, which I thought was the case here. His use of "seems" makes it clear that it, as are all statements about music, are opinions, and so to point that out is a needless redundancy. In my opinion.
  8. Sure, no problem. It seems to me that Mark did politely ask you to edit it. Were you the one who deleted it, or someone else?
  9. Syliphone has had some reach CD - a nice 2 disc mix, and 2 disc sets of Balle et les Balladins and, uh, I'm blanking for the moment. Have a couple of them from Amoeba Music in Hollywood, but they are generally in distribution in the US, I believe.
  10. I'm bummed that the Dodgers didn't make it again, but at least they were beat by a team that clearly looked & played better. Dodgers need to up their starting pitching & hitting against really good pitchers to take it to the next step. It's well within the possible, just needs to be done.
  11. I just read Hajdu's book on the comic book scare of the 1950s, The Ten-Cent Plague, and thought it pretty solid and well-written. And he did write the generally well-received bio of Billy Strayhorn, right?
  12. Alas, Al, Manne vol 3 has already gone through, and vol. 4 seems very likely.
  13. up for additions, some price reductions
  14. How much of it has seen the come out independently of that box, in those or newer masterings? There was the 1940-42 (Blanton-Webster) 3 CD set, and the 1944-46 3 CD set. Much else?
  15. Rita Lee hasn't been with them for over 30 years. They have been os mutantes for far far longer without her than with her. They have another woman singer now. I saw them at the El Rey a year or two ago, missed their full concert this time but caught their record release gig at Amoeba Records, and bought the new album. I agree, they are kickin', and having a great time, and if you go, you will too.
  16. Wow, both the Dodgers and Angeles won in their last at bat, each starting a rally with two outs already against them. Love it! Freeway series!
  17. I was at yesterday's Dodger-Cardinals game. Man, that was amazing. The sort of game where, as we left, we hi-five strangers on our way out of the stadium. But it really looked like a loss. Two out, no one on, the reliever just got the two best hitters out. The crowd didn't have a lot of energy or noise - it seemed to have gotten spent when Wainright got out of the loaded bases jam in the 8th. There weren't many towels waving on the pitch that Loney hit to Holliday (although there were plenty in the 8th and in teh rest of the 9th). Holliday says he lost it in the lights. Whatever reason, it looked like the 3rd out, and then the ball just bounced off, and it seemed like destiny after that. Casey Blake's at-bat was really the nail-biter right after that. Count 1-2, then he fouls off a couple, and then draws the walk. Just amazing. Went with my brother, and he said he probably thought that was the second best game ending he has been at, but he was at the game in the 1988 World Series when Gibson hit the homer (with my other brother, mom, and aunt - I was in school in Boston, screaming by myself in the college lounge). Freeway series!!!! :-0
  18. I've seen him multiple times in a jazz context but have not yet been able to get tickets to see him in his Wilco context. Just saw him at the Angel City Jazz Festival with the Nels Cline Singers (no vocalists in that group though). He's fabulous and has an excellent stage presence in these contexts. I've seen him at All tomorrow's Parties with Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth, and at Angel City he was with Jeff Parker from Tortoise. It was painfully evident in both cases (particularly with Parker) how superior Cline is as a guitarist, in his ability to listen to the others and respond in a superb improvisation.
  19. Dear Friend, The CDs 677 and 784 will be shipped o the distributors this week. L a c y P o o l Uwe Oberg -piano Christof Thewes -trombone Michael Griener -drums hatOLOGY 677 Barcode 752156.068426 Total Time 50:14 DDD At every step, Lacy Pool finds new expressive possibilities in Lacy’s innate, albeit curiously tailored, logic. Their personalities replace Lacy’s and change the way we hear this music, which is as it should be. The song may have inspired the players, but the players have become the song. – Art Lange A chaque mesure, Lacy Pool trouve de nouvelles possibilités expressives dans la logique innée, quoiqu’étrangement bien ajustée, de Lacy. Leurs personnalités remplacent celle de Lacy et modifient, comme il se doit, la manière dont nous percevons cette musique. La mélodie peut avoir inspiré les musiciens, mais les musiciens sont eux-mêmes devenus cette mélodie. – Art Lange Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6 : Dulcet Crush Manuel Mengis -trumpet Reto Suhner -alto saxophone & alto clarinet Roland von Flüe - tenor saxophone & bass clarinet Flo Stoffner -electric quitar Marcel Stalder -electric bass Lionel Friedli -drums hatOLOGY 684 Barcode 752156.067726 Total Time 52:02 DDD Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6 is also available on: hatOLOGY 627 Into The Barn hatOLOGY 659 The Pond Is three the magic number? For many jazz musicians it’s an important one. Every record is of course significant, but the third is often more closely scrutinised. In this sense, it’s both a great opportunity and a niggling pressure: the chance to really begin cementing a good name, with a little weight of added expectation. Manuel Mengis, however, did not feel any of this. He even identifies a more relaxed approach than his two previous releases, partially due to shifting priorities in life. An atmosphere of light, easy contentment shines through the music – Mengis and the Gruppe 6 are really enjoying themselves, free of any kind of external strain. And the pleasure is contagious.– Frederick Bernas Serait-ce 3, le nombre magique? Pour de nombreux musiciens de jazz, il s’agit sans aucun doute d’un chiffre important. Chaque enregistrement est évidemment déterminant, mais le troisième est souvent minutieusement considéré. En ce sens, il représente tant une magnifique opportunité qu’une pression exacerbée: la chance de commencer à cimenter un nom porteur tout en assumant le poids d'une attente accrue. Manuel Mengis, pourtant, n’a pas connu ce ressenti. Il a même identifié une approche plus détendue que celle de ses deux enregistrements précédents, imputable en partie à l'évolution des priorités dans sa vie. Une atmosphère de lumière et de simple contentement rayonne à travers la musique - Mengis et Group 6 prennent vraiment du plaisir à jouer, libres de toute forme de tension externe. Et le plaisir est contagieux. – Frederick Bernas Followed by two remastered reissues end of October, 2009: hatOLOGY 666 : Dave Douglas' Tiny Bell Trio, Constellations hatOLOGY 687 : Ran Blake & Anthony Braxton, Memories Of Vienna Best regards, Werner X.
