Davis/Evans Mosaic disc III

"There's a light (over at the Frankenstein place) " from the Complete BN Rocky Horror Show Session 2000/2008 ?

Jazz Tune? Nah...I suggest you this one, much more exciting and easy to learn. It's just a jump to the left... http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=Iunx2MnvN6o BTW Congrats.

How much cost the box and how much cost the singles? Generally speaking I'd go for singles in these days, but I am talking about vinyl, I presume that single cds have some bonus tracks. BTW I never carefully listened to the whole Mosaic box set of Davis/Evans. Like some box sets it's perfect for anally retentive completists (not the case of Organissimo members) or for skillfull jazz experts, researchers and musicians (Organissimo's members). I'd say that among the Miles' box sets is the one I listened less. My taste, obviously.

Yep, funny.

Auguri!

I was younger...but older then the kid in the photo

Chris, I was there too in 1984, look for me in your reportage. I am the more handsome, you can't go wrong.

...and I thought I was a nut.

I presume that you're only one of the fish in the sea, everybody here are facing similar problems. I filed by author, but lately I forgot the names. My classical collection is rather small, so my problem is jazz and rock vinyls. On the other hand I love to get lost in my collection, read "The Library of Babel" of Jorge Luis Borges and relax

That sounds like a rather fair assessment... as for Bollani, he can indeed do it all, it seems, but... have you heard Eric Legnini? In the funky department, he's most likely my favourite European pianist, these days! And who was that, I heard it on the radio, a programme called "Il cosmonauto russo", I think there's a CD version on Label Bleu, but I can't recall the guy's name, possibly he's a guitar player... Mirabassi was also guesting there as one of the soloists, wiht a huge band and some actors and stuff, sounded really good to my ears, all together! I should have that label Blue cd, now if I could only remember under wich artist I filed it... I have a partial live recording, but I haven't edited it and hence not logged it and have no idea where it's lying around, so... let's google, here 'tis, Battista Lena, "I cosmonauti russi": Got it! Thanks Ubu. I'll give it a spin one of these days, my wife got a bad flu with headache, so music is forbidden at the moment.

I think we're as bad. We are worst

That means that I am no more addicted to compulsive vinyl shopping. :party: I deserve a present for it. I have to look for that damn Piper At The Gates Of Dawn mono NM first pressing...as present I mean. edit: something like this one http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?...nr=290034218502

Same here.

It depends: just read it as a "true original second pressing" and a look for a good lawyer and the jury will discharge him.

Another jazz-prog rock band I found pretty good at times was Perigeo, but it passed a long time since I listen to them, it might be worth a fresh new listening. Some of its former members are now renowed jazz musicians: * Franco D'Andrea * Claudio Fasoli * Giovanni Tommaso * Danilo Rea * Maurizio Giammarco

No, "Pozza" means piscine, pool of water; "Puzza" means stink, smell. ooops... well, I'm flattered! But then I assume you noticed I love lots of Italian jazz! I have heard the first (I think) of the Morricone discs from a library (and also taped a concert off radio) and thought it was actually quite good, but I can definitely see why some would think of Pieranunzi as boring. His trio with Hein van de Geyn is fine, too, by the way (the latest incarnation had André Ceccarelli on drums). And Aldo Romano (who also played with Pieranunzi) is of course the first-mentioned of the French trio Romano-Sclavis-Texier, which is a mighty fine band and has been going strong for several years by now (in some cases Michel Portal was added and then sometimes Daniel Humair was on drums - this is definitely a French group, but it still deserves mention as it's outstanding!) very much the same with me and Swiss bands... I just today bought the first disc of Malcolm Braff's (the 2000 recording with Alex Blake and Yaya Ouattara, "Yele", recorded live in 2000, released on Unit Records), but I've been a big fan of his for years now, have heard him live, taped shows from radio etc Pieranunzi with Baron and Johnson's concert wasn't such bad, but I lacked some groove and energy from the piano compared to Baron and Johnson playing. It's true that Pieranunzi isn't as extrovert as Bollani nor he has the funk of an hard bop guy, but...overall too much sweet for my taste. Maybe in a biggest ensemble, a quintet or more, he can do a good job, but in trio...he's boring. IMHO.

Shame, Shame on me!!! :( Anyway I reccomended Bollani in this thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...&hl=bollani

No, "Pozza" means piscine, pool of water; "Puzza" means stink, smell. That's the only mistake I found in your comprehensive essays about italian jazz. (I am a little ashamed) About Pieranunzi I was talking about the latest show I attented a couple of years ago: a trio with him, Joey Baron and Marc Johnson. I don't know the records you named, but his Morricone's and Fellini's I have are good, not great and after a few listening...boring. For some wrong reason I tend to go at concerts of italian musicians rather then to buy their records, so my POV could by misleaded by a bad performance...or maybe I wasn't in the groove that evening. BTW I found boring even the latest Abdullah Ibrahim's concert I saw, and I love the man and for sure his early works. Same with latest Ornette Coleman. Maybe "boring" is not the word, in some case I wasn't enthusiastic or I was dissapointed I mean that there are concerts I can still remember as great performances, like Sun Ra and Sonny Rollins and John Zorn, even the latest Art Ensemble of Chicago, and others that I found dissapointing, so my judgements can be very subjective.

About ECM I agree about Bollani, not Trovesi, I think he passed undamaged through the Eichler's cure. Pierannunzi is a bit boring for my taste. Too much Bill Evans without being Bill Evans. Check out Red Records output for nice stuff. A praise for the poor Massimo Urbani, a huge talented sax player killed by drug, like his hero, Charlie Parker. Something weird in this story.

Thanks VBII, My first suggestion is Gianluca Petrella, not very familiar with his records, but I heard him live a couple of times and I was very impressed. http://www.gianlucapetrella.com/

Being italian and a board member I should start a long essay about italian music, but I don't. The guys you named are from different baskets, orange and apple. I suspect this is just an advertising campaign, am I wrong?

In English? MG I am sure his monumental history of Ethiopia's conquering was translated. Not sure about his other works. Maybe you can check at National Library, something, translated, might be OOP. All his work worths a reading.
