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!

Never ordered DVDs there, but tons of used CDs: djangos.com They always deliver (and usually faster than Amazon or CDuniverse, and with cheaper shipping to Europe, too).

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!

I'm not trying to rationalize things. I see nothing wrong with sharing unreleased material. If the artist decides to release said material, I will buy the legitimate version. I always do. Heck, I've bought some albums 4 times in different formats. What some don't understand is that most IMO people using Easytree are the real music fans. We're the ones who do buy the cds. I've got over 30 Dick's Picks cds by the Grateful Dead, yet I still download their shows. We are the ones who do respect and remember the artists. Fans have been sharing tapes, DATs and now cds for years. It's not going to stop. The wise artist is the one who understands this and sees how this attention brings them new fans and goodwill. Michael, You can't tell me you don't have any unreleased material in your collection. I'd be shocked if you didn't.

Of course... that's why this has been expected by many. Still, trading of one or the other sort will continue, anyway. EZtree was just too good a place to be real for long, I assume.

Well, for me, interested only in the jazz side of eztree, etree does not have much to excite me, frankly...

(disclaimer: not sure this belongs on the board at all, kill this topic if you don't like it, no offense to be taken on both sides, please!) This was posted on the Yahoo mailing list: Me shocked too! (Though of course this was expected, too...) ubu

Yeah, exaclty, I've seen that happen at least... 35 times!

I saw these short films and other soundies, too, last year. The part with Billie is giving you goose bumps! The part with the child prodigy is - well, mildly put - ridiculous, and in fact, very sad, I think - that kid was told to behave like a cute little ape or something...

WHOAAAAA!!!! Just read this! What great news! The bummer in here: Sony ripping us (who bought the expansive Miles/Trane Columbia box) off with that 2CD "deluxe" edition, instead of just releasing all the live stuff of the band in a 2CD or (ir required) 3CD set. ubu

that soprillo hurts my ears from only looking at it! and what, bari without A? the A is *at least* half of the fun about the bari!!!

brownie, I really should move my ass to Paris sometime soon... I'd love to, but right now I see no way I could afford it met in person: D.D. and mikeweil talked to on the phone: deus (& brownie, to duplicate his mention) not too many, and I sure would like to meet a few others! but then, at the rate of emails I exchange with couw, I guess that almost counts as having met in person (and drank gallons of beer together, too...)

Seems this is the hammond he recorded "Green Onions" on: source

oh HELL YEAH! and that cover is so cool, too: my only disc of theirs so far, but there's some stuff on some compilations, too... not music I listen to all that often, but when I do, I love it!

LOVE this one!

Clunky (et. al.): Solal also appears on both the 1955 Henri Crolla JiP discs, "Begin the Beguine" and "Quand refleuriront les lilas blancs". I just got these while re-stocking (actually completing, safe for three and the new Django) my JiP holdings, and they're very nice! Each holds one 10 inch LP with clarinet (Meunier? going from memory) added on half of the cuts, plus one has two, one has one, EP (12 or 14 tunes, all togehter), with just the quartet of Crolla, Solal, and some French bassist and drummer (would have to look up the names). Solal is on all cuts of both discs, though often he just plays an accompanying role. And as these recordings are all from 1955, they have certainly to be counted among early Solal, along with the Vogue sides - but I love those so much, so this is good enough for me! Further, to diverge a bit from the topic here, Crolla is a charming musician in his own right. It seems he and Django had sort of a mutual admiration society thing going on. On all the EPs, as I hear it, Crolla plays acoustic guitar (amplified in some way, I believe - that same general sound that Django has on his famous recordings), while on the two 10 inchers he's on electric guitar (again, unless my ears betray me - I need to listen to these two discs a lot more soon).

er..I'm sure it does...
