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).

Big to these Legends of Acid Jazz ("Low Flame"'s my favourite) and the "Soul People". Most of my favourites have been mentioned, but here they are again, from the top of my head: - Stitt/Powell/Johnson (OJC) - Legends of Acid Jazz: Low Flame (Fantasy) - Night Letter (another Fantasy twofer with Jack McDuff on one album) - the two Cobblestones (32jazz - latest issue is a euro illegitimate one) - 12! (Muse/32jazz) and some of the 1960 stuff with Miles has great Stitt, too - favourite probably the Paris concert! (I assume on LaserLight, also at least two more French editions before that.) There's more Stitt/Ammons on a disc called "Soul Summit" (another Fantasy twofer), and an encounter with Paul Gonsalves on "Salt & Pepper" (Impulse, another twofer, pairing it with Stitt's own "Now" album). And that still leaves out all of the Roost material collected on a Mosaic that I still have to get... I assume most of that is pretty good as well!

If you don't have it on your list (or have it already), add: Booker Ervin: Booker and Brass This was a standard Pacific Jazz/EMI issue, and it's a very good session in great sound. There are a lot of Booker fans here, but this session seems to get overlooked. At any rate, I'm a fan. big fan of that one! probably like it better than the two Conns, ah, that's three by now... second runner would the the first Conn with Richard Williams, found the second (with an ugly cover, too) rather less great than I'd expected, while the latest was pretty good again...

what a weirdo thread... it's all music!

Yes, I love that 3CD "Motion"! As for the long title of the Schifrin, I assume yall are aware that it refers to German writer's 1963 play "Marat/Sade", which is actually called: "Die Verfolgung und Ermordung Jean Paul Marats dargestellt durch die Schauspielgruppe des Hospizes zu Charenton unter Anleitung des Herrn de Sade" (english: "The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade"). Of course everybody knows who that ami du peuple was, but maybe you need some help on Sade?

bumpin' this up once more - I'd be more than happy tond out a few more PMs with links! Anyway, I'll start two discussion threads tomorrow if that's cool with the bovine poster -- hey man, where are you hiding? got too close to Heiligendamm? hope they didn't send you to Bremen for that, or some even worse place...
