  1. I have this one on vinyl... great set!
  2. next time hit F8 several times just after pushing the start-button, and with the arrows you should be able to choose something like "open last functioning configuration" or something, that has saved me from turning completely crazy after I had some trouble a few months ago. It seems by doing that Windows boots up in a mode it still "remembers" has been working alright. When you do your next re-boot, everything should from the on work alright again... Windoof, ha ha!
  3. What was that again about turning 40 and still not being a leftie? Happy Birthday!
  4. rather of the third from left inside of whom her upper half vanishes, no? no idea who that is, though...
  5. Whoah, Chuck the rightest? Does that make Beri a leftie?
  6. There were Vogue editions of many US albums, too, using different covers. Can't find any on the web, but I do remember a version of Harold Land's "The Fox" that had a darkish green/blue drawing instead of the usual one also used on the OJC.
  7. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/themes/ I like red cats (green flava), but I'll stick with Opera for now
  8. ha, funny those legs! Yes, that one I meant, never saw this in a store here.
  9. Oh, and to bring this back on topic, I'd go with Opera rather than Firefox as browser of choice. Never warmed for Firefox (don't like the looks).
  10. yeah, sure, but as long as some radio stations still offer live jazz broadcasts, I am still interested in that part... and digital there is only an option if transmitted @ 320 or higher, I think... and there are many doing 192, too (that applies to sat as well, it seems). most folks screw quality but not tv, I guess...
  11. Yes, sure. Cool! I'll let you know later - the missis will not attend any jazz-related activities, but I'd certainly enjoy an evening at one of the clubs there, and likely some info of general sorts... will drop you a PM in time, ok?
  12. I assume in the end satellite is the only option... really ugly things going on here, consumer protection offices had to step in (they asked 300€ or something crazy for these boxes, argumenting with the small size of the swiss market - as if that kind of thing wasn't globalized anyway). Provider(s? is there more than one big one operating in Switzerland, I don't know for sure) take down tv and radio channels and narrow the analogue offer more and more, sort of forcing people to go digital... or buy a satellite and be done with all the provider's crap for some years...
  13. If Auto-hide turned on: right click taskbar -> properties, uncheck "Auto-hide". Shouldn't be a problem. Nothing to translate here. Have fun. Sir, will we have a beer together in vienna, first two weeks of July? Or am I invited for lunch?
  14. Yes, yes. Grabbed this Swiss-made CD as soon as it came out. Was missing the 'Lucky Is Back' session. Had the other Rivoli LP 'Kinfolk's Corner'! The liner notes to that FreshSound was an easy read! Written by a lazy Swiss obviously I suggested that LT Select selection for the unlucky ones who do not know these albums! For Ubu, here is the cover shot of the Lucky/Oscar Fresh Sound recent release (they did a much better job than GRP! But that's "Tricotism", right (the trio & quintet dates under Lucky's leadership)? I've seen this in stores, but haven't looked closer since I thought I have that on the "Tricotism" CD. I was talking of the Oscar Pettiford big band albums!
  15. I'd love a Lucky T/Bags one the most, but as I mentioned before, it might be complicated since the music came out on different labels. Is the Oscar P. one easy to find? Mike, you sent me a copy of the Impulse/GRP disc, I never managed to find a real one. I assume they're out in Spain by now?
  16. ha, as long as he doesn't look like Joe Farrell...
  17. I never even thought there could be more... RANDY WESTON SEXTET July 5 1974 Congrès Montreux Randy Weston (p) Billy Harper (ts, fl) William Allen (b) Don Moyer (dr, perc) Steve Barrios (congas) Ahmed Abdul Malik (oum, b) 1. Carnival (12:40) 2. Mystery Of Love (17:41) 3. Isma (16:50) 4. Ellington Medley (07:25) 5. Sahel (27:25) Total Timing : 01:22:01 source: http://www.montreuxsounds.com/detail2006.php?fiche=266 There were other Weston concerts at Montreux: 1985 (w/African Rhythms), 1988 (w/Monty Alexander), 1994 (solo), and 1995 (with the Gnawa's of Tangier) Tonight I'll dream of a little box set, but I guess that will never ever happen...
  18. How come some of those are owned by Universal anyway? Great news if such a set ever happens!
  19. Isn't that just a different title of the same album? The Atlantic "The Wonderful World of Jazz" is great - some quartet cuts with Jim Hall, some larger ensembles, featuring among others Eric Dolphy and Benny Golson! Of the Evolutions I only have II so far, but that's another very good one! Will have to get the first one, too. The "Modern Jazz Society Presents" album (on CD in the long-gone Verve Elite Edition, with bonus material) is another terrific project masterminded by Lewis, featuring Lucky Thompson, Stan Getz and Tony Scott, among others.
  20. but no one sane would consider Heineken a good beer, really! (if it's to be considered a beer at all... yuck!)
  21. No! THIS one is on Freedom, too. Yeah, but that one's in quartet, I was only talking of solo albums... and I mentioned "Carnival" earlier, it's one of my favourite Westons!
  22. Private Concert, a solo outing recently reissued in French Universal's "Anniversary Series" (or the other series, same beautiful digipack packaging) is stunning! Also the album with Distel I like a lot, it has Barney Wilen! It was out on a Koch CD (OOP I guess) and is now out on Lonehill, if you don't bother about having stolen music... I'm not the biggest Lewis expert, though, but these two I really like a lot!
  23. hey, wait, but I like sex!
  24. on the contrary, the germans got a dual one... they're all pope, too! ****** oh, and if you merge never with deus, will that produce some kind of auto-erotic selftolerance-being or what?
