  1. Miles Davis - The Complete Lost Quintet Recordings Still there ... before played the second set from Stockholm (just put together a disc without "This", not that it would really matter ...), and now Rotterdam. Amazing stuff!
  2. I enjoy that one pretty much, too! It was reissued on CD by Sony France (I think) fairly recently. Around the time they did those Dave Bailey and Charlie Rouse Epic reissues, too, I think.
  3. Ronnie Scott's, London, 1969-11-02 love that stuff! Salle Pleyel, Paris, 1969-11-03 This stuff is better than what Sony chose for the (great to have and very, very good) set.
  4. Ronnie Scott's, London, 1969-11-02 love that stuff!
  5. Winnie the Pooh Grand Poobah Anna Livy Plurabelle (oops, Paul beat me, sorry)
  6. Miles Davis - The Complete Lost Quintet (well no, you can't *buy* it, but it's floating like two sperm whales) right now: the speed-fix of Vienna, October 31, 1969 - pretty darn good! and the audience booed and walked out to large parts, it seems ... how I wish I'd been around in those days!
  7. I always do google searches ... got the above hits by entering "why not site:organissimo.org" - works much better than the board search function (which will not deliver any results for three-letter words anyway, I think).
  8. previous threads:
  9. Hm, tricky stuff then ... the bonus tracks would also not be PD as they were released much later?
  10. That really sucks indeed! I've got all the impressed/re-pressed CDs (except for "Return Visit", which is in the RRK box) and the entire NY album plus that half album tagged on at the end, plus Spillett's liner notes, would have been enough for me to buy it, but like this, that's really much less that case!
  11. previous thread: wasn't aware the NY album was part of this box ... if it had been in there in its entirety, that alone would have been reason enough to buy it!
  12. We still don't!! couldn't care less!
  13. What was I, member 137? 173? Took me a week to find out, but I was a newbie when the BNBB went down and none of you seemed to want and have me here
  14. So you must know all about voicings No; there'll always be neo-jazz. MG So what is the cutoff year for "real jazz" then? If all new musicians play "neo-jazz" then that means at some point the original version ceased to exist and has been replaced by a facsimile. What year did that happen out of curiosity? Dang, MG! Smack dab in the middle! Neo-jazz is where technique is perfected, where musicians are produced that are able to perform in any setting, be it a musical pit, a telly commercial, a "real" (dig?) jazz gig, backing a bad pop singer, playing in the band of some boring tv talent show ... you know, a musician's got to make a living (huh? that's a way of arguing you often get to hear when jobs in military industry are in danger, too ... kind of a reversal of cause and effect ... same with all those jazz colleges, in my opinion). Jazz is where you get musicians expressing their feelings in their own way ... but the results might not necessarily be "jazz music", I guess
  15. How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians would be to capture me But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance I fell and it was swell
  16. where's the party crasher?
  17. After half a day of Ciccolini's Debussy, I think I've found another one I enjoy hearing with these pieces. Got Bolet (a disc of Préludes) and Benedetti Michelangeli (what's in the DG box) ready to try again, also Gieseking (what's in the ICON, two disc's worth, I think). But I guess the bubbly, sparkling Meyer remains on top for the time being.
  18. That's a very good one!
  19. Much love for "Soul"! Very much love for that one! Now that's a most valid question indeed! But one that can be asked about gazillions of tune choices, I think. Why bother to play Monk, Mingus, Ellington? Won't work in most of the cases. The other way 'round it works just as well: why write these heady, boring, dry originals when there's that much good material around?
  20. I still like it (I think), but in my experience, it was one of the most over-played and over-recorded tunes during the 80's and 90's. I had to stop listening to jazz radio at times, because I was hearing that tune three times a day. Well, I was thinking this thread was kosher no mo' ... but I see it was just my sick mind

    Tom Harrell

    they're used to transcribe ... those lazy in c guys should learn that, too but none are worse than trombone players, I'm sure Free for All would agree
