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

uh man, somehow I just ended up with an order confirmation in my mailbox... I blame you, Mr. winder! If this is not to my or my credit card's liking, I will send you the bill ← ← Seriously, I have no idea how that could happen! I noticed a Mary Lou Williams CD was added to the order, too... I blame catesta for that one

I sent it in and got a reply (pre-fab one, I assume). The header was "FW: [orig. header]" - hope that helped. ← nope. Here's an explanation of what Chris meant: http://cf.stanford.edu/doc/email/headers.php ← Uhm, this is getting complicated... I was just using the web-client anyway, no idea how to this stuff there. Next time I'll wait till I have the mail on my own computer and then I'll ask couw again to send me that link

Thanks Hans - will do so! Of course I never click any of these links... I get this sort of spam mails all the time, but never with regard to PayPal before. Couldn't quote your post, btw - I get error messages for every second of third click on the board

Thanks Agustín! I guess nothing to be afraid of then, just the usual attempts to get the cc info...

Gave the Gräwe disc a listen, and I like it a lot! Thank you very much, Gokhan, for passing it on! Can't write much about it, will have to spin it again, but I think this is one that I *will* spin now and then!

wtf are you doing with your cell phone in your underwear? compensating something?

Got the second of these messages today: Of course I didn't click the link, and the email was not even addressed to me (other Flurin in the to-field, but same domain/mail-client, and my address probably hidden somewhere in the BCC... first mail had my address in the CC and the same other fellow in the TO). What to do? Just delete it (as I did with the first, two or three days ago)? Or is there any address at PayPal where to direct this stuff? My account, btw, is still working.

Now about "The Cook..." - no chance I would have walked out of that one! Add Ferreris's "La grande bouffe" to your must-see list, please! Yesterday I saw "Berlin - Sinfonie einer Grossstadt" (the original film from the twenties), and some walked out, but my guess is they walked out rather becasue of the stoopid DJ doing electronics (instead of a piano player...) than because of the film itself.

Hellyeah! ← You should browse through the thread - this is another one I already posted - I was sure the US boys wouldn't look for that one ← Well, you have to know that said thread is not one I can browse whenever I want and wherever I happen to be...

If I would drag myself to see all the films you guys mention here, I suppose I'd have walked out of several dozens of them... I try to avoid films I would walk out, and usually pretty successful, too. The only thing I can remember almost walking out of was when I went to see some Austrian stuff, and before the main film they had some Nitsch shorties... pretty ugly sh*tte, I tellya!

including some stoopid marimbas! >>found here<< Btw: the "not been cleaned" part can be heard, but it doesn't distract from the music much! Very enjoyable stuff!

shipped today from cybermusicsurplus: - Roscoe Mitchell - live at Mühle Hunziken - Al Cohn - that London date, one of his last, from Ronnie Scott's - Modern Jazz Quartet (Savoy disc) bought today in store: - Ray Charles - The Genius of - Madeleine Peyroux - Dreamland (thanks, mikeweil!!!) and some cheesy cheese: - Hildegard Knef singt Cole Porter all items on sale, of course...

Hey, maybe we could create a screensaver from Jim's nice big type? And about ringtones: I generally agree, I have my phone on vibrate all the time, but when I'm home I place it somewhere, don't remember where, and couldn't hear the vibrating thing anyway, so I have to put on some ringtone... (I have no other phone going by my own name, so I need the cell). I won't tell you what stupid jazz thingie comes out of my phone, though... About people using phones in public places (trains, shops, public transport in the city): I hate it, decidedly, *but*: the problem is not the fact they're using but the fact that they either neurotics with lack of self-confidence or just simply put rude people who do not know how annoying they are, and neither do they care. One of those guns that wes is always carrying when he shows us his face (or was that his friend - the gun, not the face I mean) would greatly help in such cases ("move your ass out of here or I'll blow your head...")

WHOAH! That's just plain wrong man! Seriously, I think I can hear you, to some point, but I couldn't disagree more! For me, if anyone, Swallow is the one who developped his own, very very soulful, and very personal, and very natural sound on electric bass. I never got into those hyper-bassists, like Victor Bailey etc... maybe Tacuma, and of course Jaco, but still, Jaco's sound (not his style, not his lines, not his wack 16ths runs, just his sound) is so much closer to the "standard" sound of electric bass. Related, to some point: the latest Downbeat (Nat Cole on cover) features Charlie Haden in the BFT - he talks about his reaction upon hearing Swallow plugged in. He phoned him immediately and told him not to do it etc., but then it seems Swallow promised that if he'd do an album on acoustic again, it would be with Haden... let's hope that happens! Something more about Swallow: he's a composer, too. I would fully agree that he is no match at all to the lady who's "steady gig" he has been (that's the way she announced him at a Zurich duo set some years back...), but still, his tunes (check out "Always Pack Your Uniform on Top" and "Deconstructed" on WATT) are more than mere playing vehicles, they have some great grooves, some good harmonic ideas, sometimes odd metres, and they always have beautiful or funny or whatever melodies that stick in your head. That's a quality, I think, that many, if not most, mainstream guys nowadays don't have, still they write discs full of tunes that don't sound like nothing... (I assume it got clear now that I simply *love* Swallow, so please take my introducing line with a grain of... whatever you like!)

What's that called again? A pleonasm? Certainly has to be...

Well, I guess *that's* the kind of humour you could use over there, on your weird island

Uhm... interesting? Frightening? That last aspect you mention, I mean. Since we know now that half of the Britons don't know who Hitler is or was (they wouldn't care about the tempus if they don't know sh*t), that is a bit frightening, no? Also pulling nazi jokes is not funny in that situation, and that royal a*@%#@§ who you still fail to decapitate *on the spot* (together with the whole rotten bunch, of course) lead the press to pull those jokes again, no? Definitely not funny! And Mr. Moose is definitely onto something!
