bertrand Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 I don't know why English has become the language used universally for people from different countries to communicate; perhaps a linguist could shed some light. It's certainly nothing I have imposed. Should we perhaps switch to Latin? I'd be all for it. It would keep out some idiots. Bertrand. Quote
Aggie87 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Unless something happened, you have another 8 fingers. Details about the tasks they perform would be appreciated. Using my rudimentary math skills (I did go to Texas A&M after all), 1 + 8 = 9. If you're counting thumbs, them couw maybe really IS an pirate, and lost a digit to his parrot or something? Conversely, not counting thumbs, perhaps he's an alien or something? Quote
king ubu Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Playing disc 1 now! Finally got it! All ten fingers typing, none hiding in tedious or other places... Quote
Tony Pusey Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 And a copy finally made it to Malmö, so for me the search for this particular Grail is over... Quote

At the risk of getting this thread ghettoized, isn't the answer obvious. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Revisited a few of these sets last night. Such an awesome box set. Great sound! Quote
Rosco Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Stilll another week until the British release date... Quote
mikeweil Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Mine is sitting on the shelf at the Frankfurt Saturn Hansa jazz department ..... gotta pick it up soon! Quote
king ubu Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 Mine is sitting on the shelf at the Frankfurt Saturn Hansa jazz department ..... gotta pick it up soon! Got it now? Any first impressions? Quote
Alfred Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) Mine is sitting on the shelf at the Frankfurt Saturn Hansa jazz department ..... gotta pick it up soon! amazon.de has it for € 64,95. Maybe Saturn is more expensive... Edited February 17, 2006 by Alfred Quote
mikeweil Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 I paid € 69,90, but I don't mind. I knew the set would be great - I long hoped to hear this music in its unabridged form, as the tracks as released on Live-Evil were a pivotal experience to me at the beginnimng of my "musical career". For me, it's indispensable, and the commentaries of all the band members are a very nice read. Quote
Rosco Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 WOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! UK release date is finally here! (just five and a half months late... ) Just got back from buying it... CD 1 just gone into the player! Quote
mikeweil Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 Mike, is that the Saturn located on the Zeil or is there another one elsewhere? The one I go to is located at Berger Strasse 125-129 - 10 minutes east with the subway from the other one. The guy who runs the CD department is a big jazz fan, I know him for what must be 20 years ..... much better stock there. Quote
Rosco Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 WOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! UK release date is finally here! (just five and a half months late... ) Just got back from buying it... CD 1 just gone into the player! ...and disc 6 just finished! Quote

Free For All Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 Am I the onoy one who rally likes the texture of the box? (Is that too weird?) No, and yes. Quote
JohnS Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 Just arrived today, at long last. A nice slightly belated birthday present. Playing will have to wait until tomorrow. Thank you Sony, thank you Amazon.uk Quote
Evonce Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 That Guardian article above has an understandable sentiment but the arguments make little sense, and the author doesn't even distinguish between studio and live outtakes. And as far as "Miles and his team chose the right tracks for Live-Evil" goes, well, that's subjective, isn't it? Live-Evil is not, to say the least, a universally loved collection. I was holding off, but now I'm going to buy the Cellar Door set today just to spite the skeptics. www.jazzshelf.org Quote
Guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 i went to Borders last night and bought The Cellar Door sessions $110.00 bucks....i had a 30% off coupon ,..plus 10 % (rewards program) ...plus $40 gift cert. ( B-day gift from MOM) ...it came to $31 BUCKS !!! listened to disc 1 ....sounds great! Quote
ghost of miles Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 Anybody else amused/irked by Keith Jarrett's recurring addresses to "Marcus" throughout his liner notes here? Kinda ironic, as the last time I remember being irritated by somebody's using this sort of space to settle a personal grudge was G. Early attacking Jarrett in JAZZ (for his remarks about Marsalis).

JSngry Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 Bitchiness is an integral part of What Makes Keith Keith. Quote
ghost of miles Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 Bitchiness is an integral part of What Makes Keith Keith. Verily, you speaketh the truth. Quote
