Yeah, but what they've got right now is having their passports seized to prevent them from leaving the country before investigators say they can. Isn't that normal for an investigation into an accident causing 150 deaths? You don't simply let the pilots involved leave the country. Although it doesn't look like they are responsible for causing the crash, it cannot be excluded until the investigation has reached a more advanced point. I don't think US authorities would let them go either (if the situation was reversed).

I know this was common with the Count Basie and Duke Ellington orchestras, but I think already that was quite misleading, and I'm sure that many record buyers didn't notice that subtle difference in the name and were surprised to find out that the legendary bandleaders were not present on the recordings (which could have been made before their death). A name like "Duke Ellington Legacy Orchestra" would have been more appropriate. Imagine V.S.O.P. touring as the "Miles Davis Band" ... This new CD is a real scam in my view, because the title suggests a historic meeting between Ray and Count. I'm only commenting on the marketing aspect, not the artistic problem of such a studio collage.

According to the first results of the enquiry, both planes flew on the same altitude because of an air traffic control error.

In case you're not aware, there is a long thread about British jazz reissues on on AAJ: http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/showthread.php?t=5966

Yes, but are these trucks or just big heavy cars?

I don't have the "Night train" CD, but the Verve CDs I own (most of them recent remasters in the Verve Elite, Verve Master Edition, LPR, Verve by request series) don't generally sound more bass-shy than CDs from other labels (Blue Note, OJC, Sony)

Strangely, there are no french or german classical CD guides. There were two french ones which started during the CD reissue boom in the early 90, but they have ceased operations a few years ago. I've never seen a german CD guide. There are general introduction books with CD recommendations, but no comprehensive guide such as the Penguin.

Woody Shaw - United

The music on John Surman's album "Private city" was composed for a ballet of the same name. This is from an interview: http://www.johnsurman.com/bio_5.html

Wynton Marsalis composed the music for the ballets "Jump start" and "Jazz - Six Syncopated movements". http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/...on+Marsalis.htm http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html...752C0A965958260

For those who don't know the album or who want to check the sound quality: The track "Don't Let It Happen Here" from the new CD can be downloaded on AAJ (it's a 160kbs MP3 file): http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/jazzdownload.php?id=1651

Is there a way to integrate an Organissimo referrer into Amazon links, just like there is with CD Universe (&frm=lk_organissimo). I would like to use it as a bookmark so to be sure Organissimo benefits from all my purchases. This is the CD Universe link with integrated Organissimo referer, that you can bookmark: http://www.cduniverse.com/default.asp?styl...=lk_organissimo Amazon uses a "&tag=XXXX" string in the referrer URL, where XXXX is the code name of the affiliated site, but I don't know the code name for Organissimo

I only noticed today that the search box now includes the european Amazon stores

It's also a couple of other things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K2_(disambiguation)

BTW, the first half of the Monk DVD is the same performance as on the bonus DVD of the Monk In Paris: Live At The Olympia CD, but without the 1990's french TV logo in the corner of the screen

Hi Marcus, I can give you the "Portrait in Jazz" K2, as I have the superior sounding DCC CD.

The german Wikipedia gives the most exhaustive list of meanings of the word: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appell

Maybe they have no OBI ...

Be reassured Your purchase will benefit Organissimo, because you used the search box on this page and therefore the Org referrer. It's just the link you posted above that does not contain the referrer, so other member's purchases, when made through the link, would not have generated revenue for Org. That's what I corrected with my link.

Sorry, but your link does not contain the Organissimo referrer (&frm=lk_organissimo). That has to added manually when you copy the the adress from your browser. Here's the complete link: http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.asp?HT_S...=lk_organissimo

Interesting stuff, especially the Blakey and the Chet http://www.jazzicons.com http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=10521

IMHO, there haven't been enough topics so far on that subject to justify a seperate sub-forum.

The only ones I know are Don Grolnick's "Nighttown" (1992) and "Weaver of dreams" (1990), reissued in 1997 as a "Complete Blue Note recordings" 2CD set. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...10:cyc8b5m4nsqk Given that Mosaic will release a Select with some of Tony Williams' 1980's/90's Blue Note studio sessions, a reissue of the live album is not very likely in the near future IMHO.

I don't mind regular board members posting their Ebay auctions here, as long as the threads are clearly identified as such in the topic, and members don't flood the forum with seperate threads for every item.
