I'm really having a hard time finding answers to all the refined questions Allen asked. This site may help him answer the question about what is the capital of Montana. Then, here's a sample of Hoagy's "Stardust" - nice chance to train your ears a bit again, and find out about them changes yourself! Here, then, is a website about professors (they should know, shouldn't they?) trying to work out why birds sing: http://www.physorg.com/news3849.html. This book may also be helpful, however only in respect to a very special and man-made species (but aren't all taxonomies man-made, in the end?): That's how far I've come by now... if I have a few more glasses of guinness, I may or may not fine a few more answers. Oh, I forgot one: the monkey/language question is highly debatable one - maybe Allen knows the answer but just doesn't want us to know?

Tony, give this one a try: One of my favourite recent discs! Nate mentioned the new Saluzzi being good, but I haven't yet checked it out. Then there's the italians... Trovesi made a couple of duo discs with Gianni Coscia, but I only have one so far (on Egea), plus a live set. Also Gabriele Mirabassi plays with the fisa player Luciano Biondini (I got a live set of them with Michel Godard - fantastic stuff!). Check out the Galliano first, it's a treat!

← well well well well well... this image was actually the first I wanted to post, but somehow I found the fishy one more fitting this afternoon... not, past midnight here, this is definitely the better: You know, google image search is a funny thing when you're at work and bored

You can listen when you follow my link - extremely crappy of-its-time music in the worst sense! I only have that Blue Note Pell disc (with the added Fagerquist session), and I would like to hear a few more! Will have to save some money, I assume... ← How does Dave Pell sounds to you, like Lester? These recordings I own from undocumented compilation has that reed player all the way, and he is very good while doing that emulation of Pres... ←

Maybe he was hoping for that light-brown patina? ← Please! When it costs an extra $30, we call the color sepia. ← sorry, I don't understand:

Makes my $65 purchase at Disk Union look pretty good. ← Not to mention the $96 I think I paid when it was on the 'Running Low' list ← 500$ and he gets a box with an acidic spot right over Chico's face? Uh, imagining this and the Thad/Mel could bring me 1000$... crazy!

The Pep's albums are what I have with Nock - excellent stuff! (First rate Richard Williams, too!). The Necks I saw live, back in 2001, at the Taktlos festival. Definitely a great experience! Their way to build and morph and make use of tiny bit and glimpses of music is terrific!

Since Pell is being mentioned, allow me a short departure from the topic. Is this the same Dave Pell? (available here: http://www.basichip.com/)

Don't know Australian Free Jazz at all . ← Same here... even without "Free" in there... The Necks, are they Australian? What about Mike Nock? From NZ? No one else comes to mind...

I have this one here: Enjoyable, swinging music. As Sangrey put it: very good for what it is! Not music I could listen to all the time, but when the mood is right, it's perfect.

You might want to wait till it gets reissued later this year (as per Tony's post). ← Well yes, maybe I better wait (if it is the same disc that Tony's post mentions as being reissued - I'm still a bit confused!)

Thanks, Geoff & David! I'll check in at that store again to see if they still have it!

If this disc is indeed a selection (and not a piano solo) from that jazz opera, it would make sense... I saw old Hats in that store, too, a few months before they were reissued in the hatOLOGY series.

I am confused... the disc I thought I saw is a piano solo release... maybe I got the title wrong? Also it's a 1CD release... got to go back to that used music store and have a closer look!

← Isn't that Crow Jim? ← crow jim's chin - to be exact

Yup, the show will include Phil Schaap, Orrin reminiscing about his "complete" reissues, and a certain Mr. Pujol telling his story about finding a rare never before released 1945 Town Hall Dizzy/Bird concert at the market in Cordoba...

Anyone has/can recommend Dave Burrell's "Winward Passages" (hatArt CD)?

Same for Azurety, no? Don't know the Hemingway.

Thanks for bringing this up again... picked up a couple more recent Blue Note discs (not those copycrapped, though), and compared with tracklistings from Ebay to find out that I have most of what was in the Mosaic by now... no need to shell out big dough for that!
