Not Criss, of course... Yup, you're right, trumpet is... precocious I guess? But I still like the raw energy of it! There's that moment where he clearly loses it, can't compete technically with what he hears/wants to play - a strong moment, somehow... Thanks for jumping in so fast!

Am I allowed to post already or do you need more space for future replies? tell me and I'll delete! Anyway, what I wanted to post is: sheeeet in the Manfred Ludwig Sextett track - too long that I played either that album or the GDR compilation to recognize it. The Kurylewicz I should get, it seems!

almost posted this one, too!

birthday gift for my mother, but for a week it will be mine now, first

The discussion threads are open now! I also just sent out a PM to a dozen ex-participants, hoping some more will join in the discussion in the coming weeks! If you didn't get that PM of mine and have not signed up so far but still would like to join, drop me a PM anytime and you'll get the download links! It's never too late, as long as the files stay online!

ah, I found a larger on my HD!

Vaughan & Violins

Perry Robinson - Funk Dumpling

Donald Byrd - Byrd in Paris

Barney Wilen - Tilt Derek Bailey - Ballads

one of the best of the LPR series:

Those Lee Friedlander covers are gorgeous. A must-have book is his 'American Musicians! Lee Friedlander Jazz Portraits yes, great book!

two favourites from Mode/VSOP:

anyone has a larger one of this? one of the sadder albums, but a great cover!

Good call! all those Friedlander covers look great!

going to pay a visit to that site, too, then... I enjoy the old BN covers a lot, such as the ones in the following posts - they're largely unknown nowadays and don't seem to be part of the glory of BN's design fetishism, alas... seems I can't link to them, but go have a look here: http://www.gokudo.co.jp/Record/BlueNote1/index.htm The Art Hodes ones are great! Also the Roach/Moody/Dorham/Blakey. Mezz Mezzrow (7023) is another good one, and all of the Gil Mellé ones are great (I printed them and keep them in my 2CD set!). Both Julius Watkins are good, too!

So then, let the fun begin - I hope that most of the few who actually were interested in getting the download links will actually be able to post some comments! I am more interested in getting some impressions about the music, rather than the guessing game. The theme of the disc may make it easy to do the guessing for a select few (but I think none of them watned my links) and difficult for most, but I won't say no more now... Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and/or will enjoy playing the music I selected! It got a bit too much, possibly, but then I didn't have much time since my slot came quicker than planned, and also since I changed months with gnhrtg. Anyway, if I had more time, I wouldn't have been able to boil it down to 80 minutes but maybe to 120 or so, but then I thought why not share all of it and make it two full discs! So disc 1 is actually all commercially available material, while disc 2 consists of some live stuff, too (as you'll have noticed when you have played it, some in sub-par sound, but the track that sounds worst was in my opinion the most beautiful I had by that group).
