That must be the reason they're delivering their goods to the white house! If used simultaneously with this: ...you *must* feel born-again!

uhm, I'm relieved to know that even Baja Marimba Band could be relieved in a not Baja Marimba Band kind of way Seems that joke was not *that* obscure, after all...

Got my package! Thanks a lot, Rooster & Tom Storer!

I assume digging a grave for the third buddy who manipulated that you know, feghing gun... Glad no one is allowed to carry guns around here (or at least people don't do that regularly...) - I was almost hit by a car again, that's enough for deadly threats in everyday's life!

Gave a listen to another disc from my "unheard Leos"-pile: Like it a lot! The two Japanese have quite a broad range, lots of it sound mediterranean, Actis Dato is often playing quite simple stuff (not much free playing, if at all, not much pyrotechnical stuff). Just a fun disc, I think one that I will return to with pleasure!

If anything sucks, that does. Ostracized for life. *lol* P.S.: I've read his posts, but it seems to be some weird (proxy?) issue. No idea; can't help. The suggestions posted over there were what I could come up with. Maybe we should order him a pizza online? ← ← now next question: 1) why do my quotes look so ugly, and 2) how is the switching of "+" to "-" and color of the quote-button related to this, and 3) is it correct that I have to hit the quote-button first and then *also* hit the reply-button, and 4) would 3) be wrong and/or connected to 1)? Hope this is confusing enough, but I'm serious about it! I want to make nice-looking quotes, too!

I wondered about him, too! Always enoyed reading his contributions a lot!

I think this is a VERY unfortunate response. Care to expand for those of us who haven't heard NY Capers and might consider picking up a copy? ← I assume Chuck simply disagrees (and I guess greatly so) with David's opinion? Thanks for weighing in, Chuck! I will try and get a copy, anyway, if I can find it reasonably prized! Here's an article by much-maligned Francis Davis on Iyer/Mahanthappa, in case you didn't see it yourself yet.

Did you make an "audience recording"? "Interesting" story, I must say!

Wow! That's much more than I have thought! Hmmmm... I'm hard pushed, I have to say!

But how many of them are there? I still need a reason to order these sets... I should cut down my expenses, but as it has been said, 50 € is the regular prize, so the Caiman offerings are indeed a steal!

well, that better be *before* Friday, as they say: neveronfriday

Thanks for the other Petrova recommendation, gnhrt! John, "Maldoror" is pretty close to if not indeed da shit! Don't miss it! It's my only Friedlander so far, but I really like it!

you had a bracket in your link, this should work now: http://music.loyno.edu/encore/2004/sens.html fascinating (and sad) story!

Gave a first listen to this little puppy: And it is fantastic! It's a duo recording of Slava Guyvoronsky (trumpet) and Evelin Petrova (accordion and voice). He seems to be a seasoned master musician/teacher/mentor/composer/whatever, while she is a young pupil of his. The music is all his, the direction seems to be given by him, exclusively, but she performs very well, too. The music meanders between folksy (Russian, the liners say) and free, composed (audibly so) and improvised... really a beautiful set of performances! Thanks to our cyrillic poster for making me pick it up! Highly recommended for all those of you that are interested in European (I know, this is Russian, but still...) folksy/jazz/impro stuff. And of course for accordion geeks such as my humble self.

That is news to me, too. Thanks Mike!

I bet that's body language, Sir!

Are you sure about that? I'm aware that these Birdlanders discs come from "Vogue in NYC" sessions, so to speak, but where are the tracks with Jay & Kai to be found? I only have vol. 1 (picked it up in a sale, never looked for vol. 2 so far). Also, can you list all the new Vogue Masters releases? I have no idea how to find out about *all* the new ones, and I'd love to know! The sides with Kai Winding and Henri Renaud were on the Oscar Pettiford Sextet album that also was reissued by Vogue. That 1954 session was produced by Leonard Feather and engineered by Jerry Newman. http://homepages.tesco.net/~guylj/TalFarlo...ifordSextet.htm The Period/Prestige reissues were a mess! The Vogue CDs are the way to go. The Pettiford Sextet Vogue CD includes two previously unissued takes. I have that Pettiford! Didn't realize it was the same stuff!

Only temporarily, it seems, and not because they've been hit or something! One of the moderators stated on the mailing list that they have "DB problems", whatever that means, and are dealing with them.

Thanks Berigan! I guess you're well-trained on being in the minority from the politics section I don't really dislike Ventura, it's just that I don't find him to be the most compelling musician (while contrary, Bill Harris is a musician I can return to and find more and more enjoyable and more and more rich in nuances at each go I have).

I don't know much about Freshsound vinyl, the only one I have is Sal Salvador's Bethlehem "Salute to the Greats" (sounds good to my ears, too). With CDs, they don't do such a great job, and I assume if one wants to get this Renaud date in as legit a way as possible, today the JiP disc should be the way to go. Of course in the eighties that disc wasn't around... B-)

Thanks David for all these infos! I'll yet have to try out indiejazz, but I would have asked you for advice anyway, so thanks! The Howard date is probably similar to the released CDR - the person who offered it on that bit-torrent-site I got it from said so, at least. I'll scrap the Lacy off the list and continue looking for the Eskelin, in that case!

Blue Star 6831? That one is also on the Jazz in Paris disc "Zoot Sims et Henri Renaud". That is a very nice disc, with 4 lenghty Sims cuts (with Eardley, Renaud, de Hass [shouldn't that be de Haas?] and Saudrais) plus the Renaud 10 inch album.
