king ubu

Welcome! I start liking this band! Initially (after having heard some portions of this very same project, on the weekend of Saalfelden '04) I posted some negative comments on the sloppiness of Byron's execution and weakness of his sound, but somehow the more I listen, the more I like...

Don't get me wrong - I love the playing of Jarrett with Miles, no matter if you (or rather he) calls it energy or music! I was completely stunned by the Isle of Wight set! A little epiphany, for me!

Forgot to add: this is blasphemy! ubu B-)

Not Swiss... This is less false than it seems, this is not a youngster, no sir! Me, I just love the clarinet here! (@Marty: not Hamilton, sorry!) Watch it, mister! Imitators!!! Good reading! And props for finally identifying the late great Elvin! I'm not sure about "Soul Eyes" and have a feeling you're mixing this guy up with someone else... However, he certainly could do a whole lot with "Soul Eyes"! One is two, two is one... brotherly stuff? Oh, I really hope Sangrey won't nail this one! This is the great mystery man... the huuuuge surprise. I won't give no hints here Nope, not the same guy, but you id-ed this brother correctly elsewhere. The guy on #2 is performing on this disc as well, btw. As I said: say thank you to Mr. Litweiler... Glad you enjoyed it, Mike! ubu

It has been identified further above! More comments on your guesses coming!

... who died from lung cancer which is why brownie ended up getting a copy

That's what I did, but then the three older volumes of Solal's Vogue output is not on sale from Amazon themselves, as far as I see.

Thanks Marty! I guess I need to find that CD... Nice cover, too: ubu

Excerpts of Byron's trio gig at Jazzfestival Saalfelden, Austria, have been broadcasted last night on France Musiques. You can re-listen for a week (till next Sunday, I assume) online > HERE < Don Byron - cl,bcl Jason Moran - p Billy Hart - d Saalfelden, Austria, August 28, 2004 Tracklist: 1. In A Silent Way 2. Abey the Fishman 3. Somebody Loves Me 4. I Found A New Baby Rec. by Austrian Radio/Broadcasted Monday 14.3.2005 (Midnight to 1 a.m.) Skip the first five or so minutes to find the start of the broadcast. It's around 40 minutes long. Enjoy! ubu

brownie, the link doesn't work! What do you mean the new releases include albums from the previous series? The other three Solals are only available through Marketplace sellers, as far as I can see.

Thanks!

May be, but it's produced to sound so very polished... I gave it a listen three or four times in stores, when it was new, but never took a liking...

So these are out... anyone got them already? Is there a way to display them all on French Amazon? There is a volume 4 to Martial Solal's "Complete Vogue Recordings", too, I see. ubu

thanks!

Listen to online on here Or click the speaker icon next to "Sonntag, 20.02.2005, 20:00 - 21:00" if the above link doesn't work. Not too much talking, music from "Groovin' at Smalls", "The Cat", the first Verve album, "Open House/Plain Talk", "Back at the Chicken Shack"... hope I didn't forget anything (except the title of that Verve... oh, it's "Bashin'" of course!) ubu

Second that. Love the first, never picked up the second. Missed the concert...

Could someone post the discography of this and/or the PacJazz set(s)? I have the single CDs, but I think there was an Annie Ross date included (at least in the PacJazz set) that I never found (never even saw anywhere). ubu

Yeah, he was killin' on Live/Evil - can't wait for the box set of this! I saw some live Miles in Berlin on TV with the next band with other rhythm men and Jarrett, and he was great there, too. Can't accept the funky part of his soul, eh? Probably, yes. But then he did some utterly funky stuff on his Impulse recordings, too (though strictly acoustic there, but very funky...)

I don't know what they asked him, as the guys who did the film are never heard (maybe once or twice, prob. when they weren't able to cut it out without destroying a segment). I guess that's just his personality... It was good but it was no music... utter b-s, but funny to watch! And then when you see the concert (Isle of Wight, I mean), it does somehow make sense (the energy thing), but when you listen to Live-Evil, it does not make sense, no way! Jarrett is soooo good (AND musical) there! Not that he's bad on the Isle of Wight concert, but Corea has all the solistic stuff to himself (not more than a few short spots) and doing all the "fills" in the accompaniment, too.

There's an interview segment with Jarrett in the recent "Miles Electric" DVD (the one culminating in the complete - friggin' feghing fantastic - Isle of Wight set). It's pretty funny to see what Jarrett has to say, as he obviously can't just put it down and say it was all b-s. He says he considered himself not making music there, that his part had no musical component, whatsoever, but rather he was adding kind of a specific "energy" to the band... Of course he did enjoy staying with Miles, that gets clear, too (and is prob. the main reason why he's not just putting it all down). Herbie tells about his first encounter with a Fender rhodes, too, btw. Pretty nice to see them. And Herbie plays some Fender solo, too.

#1 - is not Dutch. D.D.: you know and love the guy. #3 - again, is not Ellington, and not Hodges, either. And yes, it's a musician having fun (otherwise I wouldn't love it as much as I do). #7 - D.D.: you'd hate it if the soprano would get a solo, I tellya, you hate that guy! #10 - yup, but I won't tell to who's guess... #14 - again: this is kind of a bonus track. Thank John Litweiler - he brought me to the idea to include this... (HINT HINT HINT)

Hey fellas, you ain't got no feghing clue on #8, #11 and #12! These are masters at work, dig?

John: thanks for your post! Read comments above to see the accordion is not from a JiP (not from any album at all that is widely availablem, I have but that one beautiful track). On #10: funny both you and D.D. go with Parker! The bassist has been much maligned by some (I think on this board, too). Mucho bigger name here than Parker (at least historically and bass-ically speaking). On #12: again, no album here... this comes from vinyl, but I don't have it all. Your guesses are completely off, btw On #13: again funny both you and D.D. were reminded of VDMK. *********** As it now looks as if Rooster's BFT will start in early April, I assume we have enough time for mine, and I won't drop any further hints already (not sure these hints will be of much help, though...) ubu

tooter - Golson yes, but not Drew and not NHOP - this is not a Scandinavian recording You finally nailed "Blood Count"! Marty - that tune's "Blood Count", but give your "Star-Crossed Lovers"-idea another guess as applied to #5... not too far off there... (HINT HINT HINT). And don't wait for EKE BBB to step in with his guesses, he should id all of them tunes! (Otherwise we'll officially re-name him as "b3-er" because he loves greazy organ so much )
