king ubu

Anyone care recommend anything by either Conrad Bauer or Steve Swell the latter is a total unknown to me.? Thanks See the three I pictured for Bauer ... he's amazing live, too! (Johannes is good, too ... but at least on one occasion when I caught him live he seemed more like a yokel ... but their common group Doppelmoppel is worth hearing, live they put on a tremendous show - two bones, two guitars .... don't have anything by that band on CD though). As for Swell, I don't know him too well, but heard him live in a great concert lacking audience ... that was the Swell/Ullmann Quartet and I bought their CD ... not sure those who know Swell better than me consider this a good point of entry, but to my ears, it is:

@ubu : shadowy in the sense how long it took btw which protracted steps had to be taken to make this release happen ...... I see! Wasn't aware that these hadn't been out for a long time ... @ mikeweil : yes - definitely worth a listen !! Planning to check them out eventually! But having just bought the fine Bilson box recently, I'm in no hurry.

The same sale as has been going on at prestoclassical for a while it seems ... so it's possibly triggered by Universal?

the other Bauer is a weirdo ... Conny is the real thing! highly recommended!

shadowy ones? I think there's nothing shadowy about the Gulda recordings - they were made in his private studio. And they're good! Enjoyed my first listen to the Bilson set a lot (and in the meantime also got his Schubert sonatas box, although I was quite unable to find any reviews online).

I know .. and I do get them! But when I'm away, somehow it doesn't work and it falls hard asleep wihle heating and fanning like crazy ... not sure what goes on there, but I must check the settings and stuff again and more closely (just had this again yesterday). But usually (if I see it, the systray icon that is) I do just as you describe ... and yeah, I think the updates were actually already running, prompted by me - but I went to bed before they were done, and wasn't there to do the restart that was required ... and then that falling asleep happens, when I'm not there to either hit the "restart now" or "restart later" thing that pop up.

talkin' 'bout respect, Poppa Lou doesn't have too much of that to give away to all the junkies he had to play with and all the junkies whose playing he didn't and doesn't get ... Poppa can be a major nuisance and it really spoils the fun for me more often than not ... but yeah, decent player that rarely excites me but as has been stated above, he led many a great band a few of his rekkids are pretty darn good (the samich one with Baby Face, "Lush Life" too, the sputnik one ... and yeah, just about ever organ disc - at least from the Blue Note years - gets an occasional spin here as well), but gee, he does seem bitter and clueless when he talks music ... http://www.smithsonianjazz.org/documents/oral_histories/Donaldson_Lou_Interview_Transcription.pdf (I've not yet tried to read through it all)

I only have this when Windows runs updates while I'm away ... it usually asks you before it does a re-start, but I guess if you're away for hours, eventually it just does it ... or not really, since it will be black and running (getting hotter than if it actually runs regularly, for whatever reason), and all I can do is keep the power button pressed until it goes off completely. After than, I need to wait a moment (a minute or so) and then it will boot again and while doing so telling me it's finishing some windows updates (it does NOT go into safe mode or tell me it had a crash or anything, although I just actually crashed it), and sometimes it even automatically re-opens whatever I had open. Not sure if this might be what happens with your machine, GA, but it might. This happened maybe five times in the past four or five months, always when some major windows updates were running on days I wasn't home (or during the night when I was asleep).

discs one and two

But how did the google car fit in there? And are these the final pictures taken by a camera in front if the car, whilst in back, it tore down everything? Seriously, looks like a good place to check out ... wonder if I deserve the bastardly honour of being their best swiss customer?

that was my first thought reading the thread title ... but then I'm sure computer knows better what I really am.

That Newport album was on CD, in Verve's LPR series, 2002 (mini LP, I think it was around a bit later as a digipack, too): http://www.discogs.com/Gigi-Gryce-Donald-Byrd-Jazz-LaboratoryAnd-Cecil-Taylor-Quartet-At-Newport/release/3538739 It's still around in Europe, for instance here: http://www.amazon.de/At-Newport-Gigi-Gryce/dp/B00006FR6G/ There's also a CD-R on demand edition, but I'd trust the above link to be the actual CD.

be careful, free ringtones might be devices that listen to you whenever they're not ringing ... or some such I made my own, fiddling around with some filters and stuff (using some funk tracks .... I also made one using the opening of Ayler's "Ghosts")

discs 5-7 of the MJQ

me too - definitely the one of the bunch that's really interesting! ... but I'd like to have some more info first.

about to end disc 3 now, on to disc 4 - good stuff!

Happy Birthday!

Interesting stuff in there, for sure! I have plenty (but nowhere near to all) of the works the set contains, but almost none of the specific recordings ... Hogwood overkill, maybe? A few more Archiv sets coming up ... they call 'em "Archiv Archives", it seems, four disc sets: GREGORIAN CHANT, THE OFFICE · THE MASS · VARIA Chor der Mönche der Erzabtei Beuron Maurus Pfaff http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/en/cat/4792593 MUSIC FOR LUTE Walter Gerwig http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/en/cat/4792598 MUSIC FOR VIOLA DA GAMBA Schola Cantorum Basiliensis August Wenzinger http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/en/cat/4792603 Here you can get an idea of the looks of these: http://www.amazon.fr/Music-Viola-Da-August-Wenzinger/dp/B00HZ8J402/ I'm not interested, I think ... guess the one big Archiv sucker covers all (and then some) of what older Archiv recordings I need.

just getting started ... will play discs one and two at least

a few upcoming ICONs: Then there's also this here: can't find any info yet

The version that was/is in circulation has Jimmy Schenk as well, no idea where the info comes from, I don't think I've ever heard any radio announcements coming with it ... (and that version surely is the only source these bootleggers have access to). These releases suck big time ... I mean I love dime and it's rules are good in my book - the downside is there's no way to keep the bootleggers out - there have been plenty of releases by the likes or RLR, Gambit et al. taken straight from sets presented on dime. Economically, releasing these boots works, I guess, because no one other than the manufacturer needs to get paid anything ... but dammit, I really loathe these releases!

discs 3-5 - the Spotlight recordings plus three studio albums, one in trio and two with Joe Kennedy (quintet w/Ray Crawford and orchestra) those Spotlight recordings were the first Jamal I ever heard (on the old GRP CD "Ahmad's Blues") and for quite a long time the only I had - but it got played *very* often :tup

I'd disagree there ... the Herman is full to the brim with brilliant arrangements and mighty fine playing. Your mileage may vary, of course, as they say - but to me, this is a fantastic band and a great set (mighty fine liner notes with insightful comments on the music, too).

Very weird indeed! About jazzmessengers having stuff listed v. having it in stock - I think they're *very* fast with deleting things from the website that have sold out, or in marking them as "currently not in stock" or something. I never had any part of an order cancelled because it wasn't in stock and I actually saw stuff disappear when I ordered it (another time the same when a friend ordered it - gone from the site after a few minutes).

probably going straight through it, skipping "Four Orchestras" and "Two Pianos" (both of which I've not yet played)
