Good point! I never played bari in strictly jazz settings, so I wasn't giving this a thought, Mike.

I had thought my CD player gone wrong, but it seems to be like this. Strange indeed! I love this CD, though! (But I'm a Braxton newbie, so don't fire away... the disc got some pretty bad write ups in the rat...) ubu

I haven't stopped by here all that often, of late, and taht's because very little of the music I've heard of late has any connection with what's being discussed here. However, please allow me to ask: what's the matter about Mateen? I got the duo he made with Hamid Drake lying around somewhere, but I can't remember if I have heard it or not. Here's the cover: Read about it on the eremite homepage. I also heard a recent Raphé Malik concert including Mateen (I suppose a few of you have heard it, too...) and I liked that one alright. ************* Next one: I'm very excited to know that Zeena Parkins & Ikue Mori will perform in duo here in Zurich! don't have the full programme at hand, and the website is still listing last year's programme (a month before this year's festival, lazy guys!), but I can post it here, later, in case D.D. wants to know what's going on this year! The Parkins/Mori duo is the only thing that I can recall at the moment, the only one I got really excited about! ubu

Happy Birthday, Evan! Hope she had a box of cake with here, too: If that's not exaclty what you're after, here's a pair of beautiful legs for you:

Stoopid Yes, but it IS creepy, too, isn't it?

Whoa, you guys must be old!

Well, then let's wait and see (and hear)!

because you can't drink a Schneiders Weisse without a slice of lemon, that's why

just to make that clear: my -smiley was not related to the music (us prez-ologists want AND love it all, anyway), but rather to my spoilt hope of hearing some Prez hitherto unknown to me!

nothing new then.

Here's another thread

WHOA! Can you pass me her number?

I thought there was a previous thread on additional Left Bank stuff. ubu

If it was new to you, I guess it will be new to me, too! Cool!

Lon, what's on those Pres discs? Is there really something "new" or is it just a new way of having some well-known stuff again? The Moore, provided it's the Tampa/VSOP disc, is very fine!

why not a little box set with all of it? (yeah, I keep on dreaming...)

this didn't work with the first two players, but the third time was the charm. Thanks! Winamp is the best, in my book! Plays it all, FLAC, SHN, MP3, whatever, even these strange files from Fennesz... fine music, btw! Someone please tell me when the last track is up for takers, too (I guess I won't notice myself)!

I forgot: if the usual device does not appear when you go to > Open with, you have to choose the last option (choose programme) and then choose it manually from the list that will be displayed.

listening right now! ok, stupid question: Windows isn't allowing me to rename these files to remove the .sit tag at the end. How did you all get these to play? Right click > Open with > choose your usual device (mine is Winamp) I couldn't rename them, either, hope this works, John!

I have no other Hemphill but 'Coon Bid'ness and I love that one very much, too! Post your recommendations, everybody! ubu

listening right now!

Jim, I fully agree with you! It's definitely not like that we should have whatever we want. However, the crowd over at EZtree was very generous, very open-minded, and certainly ready for taking critique, too (some of the same points we discuss here were in fact discussed over there, too, now and then). Still, even if through this site I got much more than I ever deserved, I regret it's gone now.

Just gave this one a listen: (thanks, P.L.M.!) I really liked it! First time I heard it, and it seems rather complex, though also pretty down to earth at spots. Will definitely listen a few more times!
