That sounds too familiar. There are many things I couldn't locate right now.

Ah, then I will get it. I have a boxset of Hipp called Hipp is Cool.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that one. At Ronnie Scott's and with a DSM cover. Will have to watch out for it. And the label is Resonance? Does it have anything to do with the present one? I imagine not. The logo is completely different, plus with a DSM cover it must be from another time.

Thanks, I wasn't aware I had written this.

I always wondered why Morgan looked like that on the cover for Live at the Lighthouse, and what might have been the cause. ( I replaced "what Morgen looked like that" with "why Morgan looked like that" -- L. Kart moderator; so shoot me)

Enjoying this light-hearted session of late Quebec. (I just read it was his last). With a brilliant Kenny Burrell. Very bluesy, but he also plays nylon strings. More according to Bossa.

I also like the book much better. But the movie is also good.

Yes, it was a long time ago. Maybe in the late 80s or early 90s. But Connery was already an old man then. And that added to his charm. Yes, he played a novice monk.

I remember him warmly for The name of the rose, based on Eco's novel. Which also started the career of a young Christian Slater.

Yes, I remember that one too. But from Siren is the first single I ever paid attention to, when I was 11 or 12: Love is the drug. And yeah,

Ah, that is Jerry Hall? I didn't know.

Very, very, very true. I think the model on the cover also appeared on other Roxy Music albums. But I was listening to this: I really like that album, particularly New kid in town and Life on the fast lane. Not only that, but I consider it one of my fave rock albums.

This reminds me of an Eagles song: New kid in town. There's a line in the song that goes Johnny came lately, a new kid in town.

Yes, I've got more of them: the West Coast Jazz, a couple of Blue Notes, the Bethlehem. A friend of mine once asked me, seeing the spines in Japanese on one of my bookshelves: Do you speak Japanese?

And to me too.

Yes, those exchanges were great. And I think there was also a full track with nothing else than drums-congas.

I would love to have that. Would even kill for it, but it's so damn expensive.

That's also an album I like a lot.

But that's typical of playbacks. And, by the way, I like surf music very much. At the first moment I thought you meant Johnny Thunders' Heartbreakers.

I had a Vespa 125 in my twenties. Later, in my thirties a 200. But then I'm European. Vespas, and scooters in general, are good for the city. And that's what I used it for. In my travels, once in Thailand I rented a 250 Honda dirt bike and rode it on road and through jungle tracks. That was very much fun. And once in Indonesia a 250 Yamaha road bike, with which I fell, driving on the beach sand, and my naked leg touching the cylinder: Ouch!

Ah, I supposed that because he looks so young.

With the great frontline of Mitchell and Junior Cook. It's a bit on the souljazzy side, but there's also the outstanding Perception, by Mitchell and Chick Corea, who's the pianist here. Is that one of his early works? I saw him with the recently departed Harold Mabern a few years ago.

This is one I also have but have never listened to it yet.

That's what the liners say in a boxset I have of the series Live in Paris, which documents two concerts at the Olympia in 1960: one with Trane from march 21 and one with Stitt from October 11. The liners say Miles plays much better with Stitt than with Trane, who casts a deep shadow over him. And that's true. The album, or 4 CD set is this one: It's from 2014 and Fremeaux.

Thanks! I'll seek this edition then. (I'm already an expert at ordering different editions) Or paperbacks too, for that matter.
