no 10% order from me... I'll rather get the Berigan and add the two Hill Selects - about time I got those!

Happy Birthday, Mark!

This is very, very sad news. Time stopped for a moment here, as well, when I read it. I'll play some of his music again over the weekend.

there's one person with a name that would fit (I checked the phone-book, got the map from there, too - looks like it's some kind of industrial building, located between railway and "autobahn"...) Let me know if you know more (better by email, I might miss it here)!

Hope you had a good one, Erik! All the best!

who'd have thunk it... (the Bresson has its own share of rather shocking images, however... worth looking, one of his most special ones, if definitely not a typical one...)

ha! is that from Bresson's "Lancelot du lac"?

I must say I am tempted to get the Berigan and add the Bix/Tram/Tea to that... many many $$$

So the Zurich concert is on Sunday 29th at 16:00? - just to put it into my agenda the right way! I went looking for the address... this is not actually in Zurich but in Bülach, a small town close to Zurich. Should be easy to find, I assume - use this link to find a map: http://map.search.ch/8180-buelach/schuetzenmattstr.1b

Thanks a lot, everybody. It was rather tough since I was in the army: my second to last annual repetition of three weeks - being in the Swiss Army Band it's mainly practising some stupid music from pseudo-classical to badly arranged popular stuff, boring marches and cheapo army staple stuff... anyway, Switzerland still having compulsory military service, I decided I would not take the easy way out (doctor or shrink) but instead opt for a troup with no arms, and that's it... I'm glad to be back home, and of course delighted to see this thread! Thank you Paul for starting it! Thanks Clifford, brother in love of Joe Malinga! Thanks brownie - I still hope to make it to Paris some day... Thanks to his Bobness, this is the real birthday, no need for official ones, I'm not a royalist, and not royalty either, outside of this board... Thanks seven - still liking Jon Hassell! Thank you MG - de nada! it was my pleasure - still I had no time to play your BFT yet, alas Thank you Erik - did the computer arrive at any conclusion by now? Thanks never - you're ancient by now, I assume... Thank you Mike, I hope indeed I can make it! Do you know where the concert will take place? I can't open the site your signature links to! Thank you bichos, Agustín, David, John, Colin, Simon, Adrian, Mark, Barak, Paul, Lon, Jon, Chris, Paul (reminds me to play your disc again soon!), Dan, Bentsy, Quincy, Gene, Brad, Evan, Chuck, medjuck, GA, Guy, rachel, and Berigan (and last but not least, Jaco, too)!

That idea of Hobsbawm's is indeed a very interesting one. Makes sense a lot of time, if applied to how groups define their identinties (usually by excluding all those who do not belong to the group, discriminating, creating bullshit historical lineages etc. etc.). I assume this could be applied in the most swell of ways to the Wynton Lincoln Center gang, no?

Brand has moved back to SA a few years ago for good as far as I know. I saw a fairly recent movie about him on tv where the crew visited him at his new home in - I assume - Cape Town. They also went along on tour, spoke with Sathima and other musicians. Here's the IMDB entry: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0483974/

sad news can't find anything in english, either

give me a break, but Holland, Rubalcaba, Potter and Harland... that is music of yesterday played by musicians from today, no? old wine in new bottles...
