RDK Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 (--note all clem posts have been deleted). ← Now why'd he go and do that??? I didn't agree with everything, but he made some good points and furthered the discussion. I can only conclude that he finally listened to a Proper Box and had a change-of-heart about them...

Rosco Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 BTW, Proper are using their ill-gotten gains to record new music... Specific Jazz is an offshoot of Proper and have issued two CDs by British jazz musicians so far: All Is Know, an album of Monk tunes by saxophonist Tony Kofi and Yeah!, an album of Horace Silver tunes by fine altoist (and all- round nice guy) Alan Barnes. Both good albums too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
