  1. love Wynton Kelly indeed, but have no idea if it's his birthday ...
  2. Guess this one would make a good CD for testing then: Btw, no one asked about that here, but: I love Gould's six late Haydn sonatas very much!
  3. well, it had it because the man shot him at it - simple!
  4. it's been ages, but this music has stuck to my mind for over ten years now and I still love it!
  5. Non-English speaking vocalists singing in English (especially Brazilians). Sing in your own language. I like the mystery of being clueless about what you are saying. Even if they're making fun of all the stiff upper lips in the audience?
  6. But we're all luddites, aren't we? I thought, btw, for a long time, that word was a derivation of the Latin verb "ludere" (to play)
  7. Yeah, we're still waiting for that book!
  8. Tatum, Taylor? The latter's squealing drum chair in RVG's studio?
  9. obviously ... except for the "sorely missed" bit, that one is serious!
  10. Very cool, many thanks for sharing!
  11. that's how I'd pronounce it, too - I'd like to know from someone who knows though
  12. the swiss-german-speaking part what about Don Moye? Do you pronounce the "e" at the end?
  13. Patti Bown, I've often wondered ... as in "Brown"? Or as in "bone"?
  14. Yeah, he gave much praise to the great and sorely missed Lester Bowie
  15. Oh, I see! Recently got the old US BN CD of it, myself.
  16. Odeon Pope sends his regards
  17. Why spring if you've already got it? I got that one, too - and it's indeed quite alright. But it's nowhere close to "The Spice of Life" which I absolutely love! Is that first Cadet album similarly fine? The tracklist makes it look like it might be a mixed bag ...
  18. Great news, Jim - congrats!
  19. :-) I was translating peche as fish!! No wonder I couldn't figure out what song it was. what's that fishy smell?
  20. There's a Miles, too ... and a great one by Doris Day And Johnny Cash (another well-picked one, it has his few first Columbia albums in their entirety, I think).
  21. Thanks a lot for posting those pieces, Larry! And thanks everyone for the most enlightening discussion here - I've tried to voice my problems with Wynton, but never as successfully as is being done here.
  22. Sad news indeed. r.i.p. Judging from what little I've heard ("Song For", "Dark Day" and half a dozen ROIOs) he was a fine musician!
  23. Still need the trio from Fledg'ling, too - have never so far heard McGregor in a setting smaller than the Blue Notes ... somehow I'd never think of him as a trio or solo pianist, but I'll eventually find out
