He was discussed a couple of times, but not recently I think. Here's an earlier thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=29468 And the r.i.p. thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=3885 Also I remember some discussion of Lowe in the funny rat thread (put in "frank lowe" in the search topic box at the bottom to find it, the thread's huge): http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=5071

ha, just went to check my mailbox again, and surely even though the mail was sent last night 10.30 our time, it just now appears as the latest mail (displayed after several more recent emails - weird) - great news!

Checked it again yesterday - the german edition is all german, including the wishes. Very enjoyable book!

These still turn up in sales over here... couldn't say if one's available right now, but I can keep my eyes open if you wish. Prize for the disc would be around 15$, plus some for shipping. That's still cheap compared to what new CDs usually cost here. And it might not be shrink-wrapped and show some wear... But it's also still listed on French Amazon (one for 15 euro, the next ones from 44 onwards!! Not sure the second entry would be the b/w digipack version, there were - US, I think - jewel case versions of many of these Vogues out there before): http://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_ss_w?__mk_fr...mulligan+pleyel Best option is here: http://www.priceminister.com/nav/Musique/k...mulligan+pleyel New for 3.80€, used from 5.50-6.30€ - quite a steal! You'll need to know some bits of French to navigate through that site, though.

Manne's "2 - 3 - 4" (I think?) is wonderful indeed! Got an Impulse LP of that one (not sure if it's a mono or stereo, it's fairly old but sound is marvellous!) As for "TV Action Jazz," I just bought this one in a local sale, it's very short (27 minutes), but it's pretty cool - Herbie Mann's on tenor and flute, and Tony Scott on baritone and clarinet. Mundell Lowe is good! I see the Lonehill "complete" one, I guess it pairs this and the follow up "More TV Action Jazz"? Both of those came out (again) in 2007 on Sony/BMG (jewel case editions - not sure if they were part of the RCA Gold Series before, but Amazon also lists a 1999 edition for the first album).

I sent in my order a week ago, added the Teagarden and some singles to it!

Your "out of stock" notices are about the Ayler, right? Not the Patton?

Well, I was in touch with a guy from the site (had them put a Patton aside for me), and he was very quick and kind, so I guess you'd best send them an email and inquire... I will inquire about my Patton shipment as well if I don't get it next week!

it's my third Atzmon disc (got "musiK" and and the earlier "Exile," too) oh, and most of these were bought used and big piles, so I got some discounts.... and one I forgot: Buddy De Franco "Generalissimo + Live Date!" (Lonehill, minus 1 track, will have to buy more to get that missing track, he he)

over the last few weeks: George Benson/Jack McDuff - the recent Fantasy twofer Lockjaw et.al. - Very Saxy (RVG) Monterey 40 years 3CD set Budd Johnson / Charlie Shavers "Live" (Black & Blue) Cat Anderson "Plays W.C. Handy" (Black & Blue) Guy Lafitte / Wild Bill Davis "Lotus Blossom" (Black & Blue) The Chico Hamilton Trio (Fresh Sound) Ike Quebec "Heavy Soul" (Connoisseur) Art Blakey - Lausanne 1960 pt. 1 (TCB) Cannonball Adderley - Lugano, 1963 (TCB) Cannonball Adderley - in yurp (finally found a non-cactus normal CD of this, got the Landmark vinyl, one of my favourite Cannonball and 'teef albums) OP (the bad-mouthed one, not the 'cellist) "The More I See You" (TelArc - horrible label, I agree, but I have to fine Steve Turre albums by them, and some Ray Brown...) Gilad Atzmon "Refuge" (Enja) Ornette Coleman "Dancing in Your Head" (A&M/Verve) Co Streiff Sextet "Loops, Holes & Angels" (Intakt - finally, featuring the great trumpet player Russ Johnson as well as some of Switzerland's best jazz players) Roy Eldridge "What It's All About" (Pablo/Fantasy) Bix Beiderbecke - Masters of Jazz Vols. 4-6 (mostly Whiteman material, a nice companion to...) Bix/Tram/Tea Mosaic (lovely stuff!) Franz Jackson's Original Jass All-Stars featuring Bob Shoffner "Chicago: The Living Legends" (Riverside/OJC) and then some Chrono Classics: Frankie Newton: 1937-39 Gene Krupa: 1935-38 Bunny Berigan: 1936-37, 1937, 1937-38, 1938, 1939-1942 Eddie Condon: 1927-38, 1938-40, 1942-43, 1944-46 Jack Teagarden: 1941-43 Muggsy Spanier: 1939-1942, 1944 Mary Lou Williams: 1944 and just today finally ordered the Gerald Wilson Mosaic (plus the Jack Teagarden, plus as fillers, three singles: Ellington's Cosmic Scene, the Blakey and the Bud Freeman - more Tea on that one!) been working a lot, and now I allow myself some rewards, he he he...

this thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=13978 The book had a german edition sometimes last year, got it for x-mas and it's quite nice, indeed! The photos are mostly "snapshots", not composed photographs, but they're a great bunch of photos to have. And the book in its german edition is set to look like written on an old typewriter etc, pretty cool (it's been published, I think, by Reclam). The wishes themselves are, I think (but I'm not sure) in English (but that in the end doesn't make much of a difference, about 1000 or the total of 900 wishes - 3 by about 300 musicians - are "money" anyway... (sometimes it's simply "1. money, 2. money, 3. money" - but that's not what makes the book special, its the whole thing together that is very nice to have)

yup, welcome back here! sounds like quite some work (for just that reason I save all the installation files of all those downloaded programmes in one folder that I back up now and then - makes it easy to reinstall them, but of course you need to reconfigure everything again...)

7£ for an MP3 download? No way!

still waiting for the Patton to arrive... I'm a bit worried by now as the site says 1 week shipping within yurp, it's been 2 weeks now.

Flurin, I'd steer clear of the Fantasy and look for the Timeless version. Will do - I had a hunch someone would say I shouldn't get the Fantasy

Scored lucky and found three Masters of Jazz by Bix (Volumes 4-6), new, shrink-wrapped - mostly Whiteman sides, in between there are a few sessions duplicated on the Bix/Tram/Tea Mosaic. Now I still need some disc with the Wolverines material - which is the option of choice? The Fantasy? For a selection of Goldkette sides I have the Retrieval single disc. Not the greatest music I've heard, but a couple of great Bix solos on it! As for the Master of Jazz discs, I skipped Vol. 3 and Vol. 7 both of which the store still has. Most of those is on the Mosaic, and I figured I wouldn't need these just for a few Whiteman sides. Am I missing something, or is that an ok decision? I read the discussion on Rifftides (but not yet the main post that prompted it and is linked to at the beginning of the discussion. Not that interesting, really, as some say an old discussion about art and artist... Randy Sandke's short post there pretty much wraps it up for me.

spin span spun? I played some vinyl a couple of days ago... including several of those great Tadd Dameron boots on various Boris Rose labels, and also again the wonderful Don Joseph Uptown album. I need to get that record player fixed and moved to where I spend most of my time... (it's a Lenco L-75 or whatever that was, the "classical" one... I guess it's worth getting it fixed, something about the speed adjustment of the motor isn't properly functioning, and often when I put it in use again after a few weeks, it will take a while until it settles at a constant speed, while before it slows down painfully for several times, and I have to switch it off and on again several times...)

Hey, I still want that CD player of yourse! Don't dare to disappear! And I'd definitely enjoy another chat over a couple of beers, too! Hope you get those 'puter problems fixed fast - stuff like that drives me mad (if it happens to me, that is)!

There's a third Freeman to add to the two before mentioned ones: I also quite regret these costing so much... I usually only buy them when I find them on sale, but I guess I've got 25 or 30 of them by now. Favourites are the Johnny Dyanis, the Walt Dickersons, also all the Ken McIntyre's I've heard have things going on that are of interest. Then there's the wonderful Pierre Dorge... his New Jungle Orchestra discs are among my favourite yurpeen jazz albums.

There's been a bit of discussion of this Masekela reissue in the Universal reissues thread - I agree, it's a wonderful disc! Can't compare it to those Spear albums, as I don't own those, but indeed, Ntshoko is wonderful here - his long solo somewhere in the middle of the disc is a treat as well! And Willis/Gomez fit in nicely with this kind of groove! Also indeed Pukwana is the wildest, edgiest element of this band, reaching beyond the "limits" of the grooves and of the all-together pretty polished sound. Highly recommended!

A serious and near-catastrophic issue ! :rsly: There have been a few times that these things have swung open, jettisoning out the disk and forcing me to perform Olympic-standard pseudo back-flip manouevers to catch said disk before it hit the woodwork ! hey, next time you perform such extraordinary deeds, please swith on your homecam and put the results up on youtube!

I heard part of that concert with Hamid Drake on the air - great indeed! Had to buy that CD eventually - it's available from CD Baby: http://cdbaby.com/cd/angelidrake Angeli btw plays a guitar he built/modified himself, with more strings than usual or something crazy - he gets quite wonderful sounds with that instrument!

um, I wasn't entirely serious... threads like these get so... nerdy...
