a few old ones definitely worth revisiting (Honk if you like Hank): There are numerous threads about particular albums and I'm sure many of them contain lots of interesting discussion, too ... one of them that I remember is dis here:

Hank who?

Well, I guess I'd switch to French then

Well me for, one I'd be delighted to speak with a french accent But I'm afraid my migraines are far from being worse enough to cause such things ...

and Lester Young, of course - the pop of them all

since you've got Maceo and Pee Wee, you ought to also list: Nat Jones St. Clair Pinckney (St. Clair ... St. Clair? ... St. Clair!)

Tony Allen Zombie Pieter Willem Botha

You know, some merikins insist on buying but shrinkwrapped CDs ... do you boil them before you touch the e.coli popuating it?

Lateef was born in 1920, Most in 1930 - "influenced younger players"? Maybe Lateef started playing flute later than Most, but still ...

That's about the price I pay for a 50cl can ... but that's rather cheap in Switzerland. A 33cl bottle of Leffe (blonde or brun, same price) in the supermarket is about one and half times that, in specialised beer shops, it's at least twice that, the triple is at probably more than 4€ a bottle, so you see why I rather get these (or Duvel or whatever I can find - I love Belgian beer!) on special occasions. But I do own four Leffe glasses ... got them as a gift (with something fitting to fill into them). Guess I'll need Duvel tulips as well, some day.

Yep, best way to find the truth!

It's by far the favourite of the ones I can get in many supermarkets (I can get Leffe blonde and sometimes brune - but hardly ever triple - there, too, but three 33cl bottles cost about as much as four 50cl cans of Pilsner ... which is still around twice as expensive as the cheapest lager they have on offer).

I love Leffe! But tonight I've just got some of my "default" beer around ...

Fratelli Barilla The Fratelli The Four Brothers

Yes, that's what I do, too

Don't know much of his work, but I've always liked the Mann/Most one on Bethlehem. r.i.p.

That one had actually been in my mind when I had the initial idea for this thread ... but when I opened it a few hours later, I'd forgotten about it again ... good one! Actually I'm quite astonished about the number of covers that you all found, I didn't expect more than five or ten replies here.

well, make that the cold-induced collective compulsory coughing disortder, then

Yeah, one reason they don't need reproaching is that they seem to be polite enough to not fall for that silly collective compulsory coughing disorder (ha, one more c added, it's CCCD by now!)

"Salome" was the first opera I ever bought on CD (the Karajan EMI GROC).

It's what you get when you suffer from compulsory coughing disorder and Keef stops playing and leaves the stage ... but then I guess the beautiful micro-tonal-audience-participation-music would again be drowned out by the booing of the audience ... too bad really. Seems we'll never get to actually hear it!

so you're all for micro-tonal-audience-participation-music?

compost? I love the "Vier letzte Lieder" as sung by Lucia Popp.

But he never a lesson with Ronnie Ross

Nothing beats "Band of Gypsys" - but that's not what you're asking for "In the West" is indeed pretty darn good! I got the great vinyl release last year and haven't regretted it at all, even though most (or all) of the tracks are available elsewhere. And I guess the Winterland recordings are pretty darn good, too, though I've not really digested all that's in the box ... had the single disc before that.
