  1. I'm just now listening and seeing the video of Kid Creole and the Coconuts' Stool Pigeon. Liked that song a lot when it came out in 1982. But you gotta see the video again to realize how dated it feels today.
  2. Not from the Mosaic but a Conn. I followed your rec and picked up the Konitz, plus the Sims & Brookmeyer. And both are great and also with good sound.
  3. Oh, I have a D'Angelico, though not a New Yorker but an EXL. They were incredibly Art Deco-inspired. And I didn't know he was a guitarist. So I'll have to investigate that.
  4. He plays brilliantly on Broken Wing from Chet Baker. And I think also his Live at Nick's.
  5. Didn't know Vaughan and Nascimento (and Sergio Mendes) had ever collaborated. But you're right: that should have happened in the 60s.
  6. So you were really lucky! Oh and I also wanted to add that Lust for Life was definitely produced by Bowie, who also played keyboards and something else on it, and wrote most of the tracks. And also, contradicting my post, that Lust for Life was prior to The Idiot, and they were both recorded on the same year, 1977. Something I didn't get right the first time around.
  7. That's a really great one. Produced by David Bowie and with the 90s revived (through the movie Trainspotting) title track on it. No, I was mistaken. I mixed it up with the slightly later The Idiot, which actually was produced by Bowie when they lived together in Berlin. That period, that gave birth to the Berlin trilogy (Low, Heroes and Lodger) in the late 70s, is my favorite Bowie.
  8. I loved Siouxsie and the Banshees when I was just 20. Specially Kaleidoscope (which I still hear now sometimes) and Juju.
  9. And really enjoying it. With the great Shirley Scott, and Jerome Richardson.
  10. This contains both Charlie Mariano and Charlie Mariano Plays. Both Bethlehems. From Toshiba.
  11. Ah, that's a good one. No, it was Valentina, but now I've discovered Valentina was maybe inspired by Brooks. By the way, I stressed Brooks was American, because the movie was not. It was German, as was Pabst. But with an American main actress.
  12. This afternoon I saw silent movie Pandora's Box by W. Pabst from 1929. And I find a striking similarity between American actress Louise Brooks and main character in the movie, and my avatar Valentina from Italian comic designer from the 60s Guido Crepax. An image from the movie.
  13. Is this on reel to reel and vinyl only? Or also CD?
  14. The first one sounds like something I might be very interested in. I love small group swing, and I have a CD of the Complete Capitol Goodman Trios, with Teddy Wilson and also Jimmy Rowles and Mel Powell. This one: And the Carnegie Hall concert is something I also have always wanted to own.
  15. Fresh from the oven. I just got this from Duty Groove, from whom I hadn't bought in nearly 20 years. A papersleeve double CD, something I hadn't seen before. Well I have some with two albums, but on one CD. Like a Charlie Mariano and a Max Bennett.
  16. An old thread here on Jaspar piqued my interest and I took this out... and was surprised to see that I have more Jaspar than I thought. 2 JiP, 2 Vogues and some more.
  17. Yes, that's very true. And I use it frequently. And also Imdb and such. But here I hadn't thought of it. That's something I've heard or read before.
  18. Yes, didn't he make the Round Midnight movie? With Dexter. I saw that one. But it's so long ago (the 80s I think) I can't remember now who was the director.
  19. The cover picture is the exact same, I think.
