Did you get mine? Can't remember... I only wonder since #26 will come from Switzerland, too! I could add copies of Rooster's set, in case.

Try some (or all) of these: And if you want something a bit more on the light and playful side, try this one: These are all from the days when there was a freshness to this kind of music, and when explorative minds were at work. Before it all freezed down and turned into a means to show chops and technique...

That one just cranked me up! ← It's not as bad here, but other than some of you guys I've never met anyone with an interest in jazz that's as broad as mine (I always end up being annoyed by a couple of friend's who just can't take some good old hardbop or some contemporary stuff by mainstream players and accept that this is valuable and good music, too). Then I also don't meet those friends on a daily basis, unlike you! Shortly put: I like this place quite some...

Thanks a lot!

I'm ignoring my own posts - it's funny to read what the others answer without knowing what I said before

Love this one! Definitely some of my favourite big band recordings!

You most certainly are one prosaic person, Sir!

blame catesta!

I will mail out discs soon to the following persons: couw double-delta EKE BBB eloe omoe dutchmanx plus maybe (haven't heard yet if he wants a copy or not): mmilovan Will try and mail them tomorrow, if I don't make it, it will be on Tuesday, definitely.

gnhrt: can I get the Puschnig et al. Austrian Songs? I'll have to dig up a couple of offerings, too!

Tony's recurring "member" (or rather: sudden lack of) -stories

Thanks brownie, à peu près the discs I'm considering (the rest is unknown to me). How about the Sautet and Tavernier discs by Philippe Sarde? Anything good hidden there?

Oh no! Will give this one a spin again soon - loved it ever since I first heard it:

On showmanship: check out the photo at the bottom of the short biography I linked to in my first post!

corrected the typo in the thread-title - sorry about that! recommended listening for those that never heard Lunceford:

missed that! I could watch TCM, but they don't really show up in the printed tv guides or in newspapers, so...

Happy Birthday!

Sy Oliver (taken from here):

I just realized there was not one thread dedicated to Jimmie Lunceford on this board! Time to do good for that! A kind board member has just sent me two volumes of the Lunceford Masters of Jazz series, 1939-1941 recordings, mostly for the Columbia years, with a few from the second Decca period at the end of the second of the discs. I have long loved the Luncefored band, have several compilations (both GRP discs with Decca material, the Frémeaux Quintessential 2CD set...) and a rather beat-up set of the French Columbia LP box. Lunceford featured a bunch of great artists, among them trumpet players Sy Oliver, Gerald Wilson, Snooky Young (great interview in the latest Downbeat!), Freddie Webster and Eddie Tompkins, trombonist Trummy Young, Willie Smith, alto sax, Joe Thomas, tenor, and not to forget: Jimmy Crawford, big band drummer supreme. The band was in the pocket, was hip enough to feature vocal trios and the like (comprised of instrumentalists like Young and Thomas, who were featured as vocalists on their own, too), and they were a huge success with the audiences. It seems though, that contrary to Ellington and Basie, Lunceford's orchestra has been largely forgotten now, and I don't think that is just in any way. I'd love to have a bit of discussion of the man's music, sidemen, recordings, etc. here! Here's a short biography: short biography And here are a couple of photos: The band, late thirties Willie Smith (with Juan Tizol - thanks EKE!) Lunceford with Smith, 1939 Trummy Young in Münster (Germany), 1958

oh, and: Sergey Kuryokhin: Some Combination Of Fingers And Passion (Leo)!!!

Abdullah Ibrahim - African Piano (ECM) Cecil Taylor - Willisau Concert (Intakt) Irene Schweizer - Chicago Piano Solo (Intakt) Paul Bley - For Carla (Owl) Randy Weston - Blues to Africa (Freedom) Art Tatum - as others above, not sure what to recommend... Jelly Roll - those early solo sides, I got them on a Chronogical Classics disc Monk - the Vogue date John Lewis - Private Concert Tristano - the Atlantic solo stuff Mingus plays Piano Keith Tippett - Mujician (FMP)

Today: - Griffin/Davis "Pisces" Got (not bought) yesterday: - two Lunceford Masters of Jazz discs - that Charlie Christian MoJ disc with some rarities - Henri Renaud Saturne recordings - Barney "Osaka Concert" - BFT #26 Received yesterday (but paid earlier): - Duke Fargo (Storyville edition)

I think I dimly remember that threa(t/d) but quick-mindedly decided to ignore it... I have almost succeeded...

I just had a closer look at the reply I got from PayPal - the reply included my (forwarded as attachement) original message, and this is what stood at the begin not of my message, but of the forwarded hoax message in the PayPal reply: The stars are mine - I don't know if that was all the sensitive content of the stuff above, if not tell me what else should not be put up here on the web. As I said, the @bluewin.ch address was not mine, but some other Flurin's - I can't see any info actually concerning my mail-address above. But the main question: does this above include what you call the "header" (and I mistook for "subject") of the mail? EDIT: saw my address, added some *** there, too
