I played his BN Conn again yesterday and this time I really liked it very much. The feel of the band is similar to Miles' second quintet, that lyrical open kind of music with an inherent drive... and Henderson's brother is great on tenor (so is the trumpet player, one Charles Moore). In addition to Miles there's some grooves that remind me of the Jazz Crusaders, and a couple of very good tunes, too. I was hesitatingly commenting about the disc in the BN deletions thread, but now on repeated listening, I think this is a very good disc!

racy!

Two more: exploit, forfait. Swiss German rulez. + and of course "gooooool!!!!", not "tooooor!"

Yes, that's a sound piece of advice!

That was in reply to niko's question of course. My MSIE (at work) keeps bitching today, I didn't see the post in between, or I'd have used the quote function...

Both in Swiss German as well as in the Swiss variant of proper/high German, yes. At least I'd say so. It's not a topic I've done much thinking of (or learned anything about in University), but there are many, many regionally used words both in Switzerland and Austria that would seem strange to Germans, I guess. In Switzerland of course there are many French words that are used commonly, as in this case.

after reading that article I linked that seems to be the smarter choice than changing to firefox!

A swiss newspaper's website has a short article today about the MSIE incident. They mention a test that showed that Firefox was even much less secure and claimed it to be the most error-prone Windows programme... as I said: get Opera! here's the link, for the few who understand German: http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/digital/comput.../story/17138380

www.opera.com - great alternative, not known and used widely (and by now even AMG works on it - some sites aren't configured to work well on all browsers, but of late I haven't met any problems with Opera, must have been several years back that I had to open MSIE to read a non-displaying site).

The new ECM 3CD set (including "Playground" to which - as a big fan of Ms. Jordan's - I look forward to particularly) is on my x-mas wishlist now

nah, this is about fake boobs... Or blow-ups ! or "gumisusi" as I'd say in swiss german...

I just have to add "Out to Lunch" and "Speak no Evil" to the great Hubbard sideman albums list! Adams didn't do that much under his own name, did he? The Mode/VSOP is ok, the OJC I don't have, his "Julian" for Enja is very good. But with Jones/Lewis he always was quite a force of nature! One of their most exciting soloists, for sure!

nah, this is about fake boobs...

Agreed on Peterson, too. Also Freddie Hubbard - he is on such a huge number of great and important albums (Ascension, Maiden Voyage, Blues and the Abstract Truth to name just three), yet somehow his own albums (including what likely are my favourites, Open Sesame and Goin' Up) are somewhat less interesting to me. (Don't take this as a harsh comment directed at an ailing musician please, I've always felt like this about Hubbard)

yeah, but it took me almost two weeks to remember about my harsh post... don't worry!

This is absolutely not true. I just spoke to his wife less than an hour ago upon her return from the hospital (which I do almost every day). He's still alive and kicking. Not much change in his condition at this point. Thanks David! Please keep us updated! (you may have noticed I quoted your post from that other discussion above, which already set things right) PS: as you're reading here, allow me (off topic) to mention how much I enjoyed your playing on a recently broadcast show by The Cookers!

nah, this is about you and some doct... ahm, nurses (time to move to the sexy album covers thread...)

yes, but that would really narrow down this thread a bit

Hey, Mike - I'm sorry if I stepped in a bit too harshly. It's just that all the commercial sites have "free shipping (huge print)..... US only (tiny print)" offers going on again and again, and for foreign orders they don't even offer to deduct the US shipping prize or something... sometimes I just get a bit envious of these offers that I can't make use of, and I found it a bit of a letdown to see the same thing here. Either way, of course the person who offers something can decide on how to proceed. Oh, and Tommy, we could ship some stuff to and fro... and no one could interfere, he he

Something to do with a monkey on his back? Except it's not on his back! ("I've got a monkey on my back" = "I'm addicted".) I must say this interpretation never occurred to me and I think it's very unlikely that it was intended by either Blue Note or McLean. ah, I see... I think the reference I picked up somewhere, might have been in the Penguin guide (they thought it was ironic or something, that the monkey on the cover sort of un-disguised McLean's habit, but I'm sure what it exactly said).

got this in a mail: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/b...bard-in-a-coma/ in short, this seems to be the case here, I assume: David Weiss Says: December 15th, 2008 at 4:50 pm I'm a bit ambivalent about much of Hubbard's music (at least his leader albums) and about him as a trumpet player, but there's no denying he's on a ton of great albums (and as a sideman always at least holding his own!). I wish him well, of course!

some of Kuhn's ECMs are out again, look here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=48297

I don't quite see the point of the ECM comparison - I mean there is *some* free improv or avantgarde on ECM, but mostly it's dedicated to different music, some of it very European AND at the same time very good (Iro Haarla for instance, or The Source). Anyway, I only have on Nuscope release: John Butcher / Georg Graewe - Light's View (1004) :tup

Allen, this sounds like an intriguing project to say the very least! I'm another one who hasn't made it all through the Devilin' Tunes sets, but what I've heard and read so far (most of Vol. 1 only, I confess) was highly entertaining AND enlightening. Congrats on getting the go-ahead and much luck with the work that has to be done now!
