Glad you agree. Now I can't wait to find out who's the player and possible tune thief on your track 10. Checked the Taylor "E.B." out again, back-to-back with #10 on my BFT disc - two great ones! The similarity is indeed too striking to believe that happened by accident... Though there isn't much of a real "composition" here, but rather one motive and then a few rhythmic figures. Btw: the drummer on my disc has much more nuance, but then... I can't say too much now! And RDK: your last post had me all last night! I wonder, has no one got any retro-objections against some strangeties on the bogaloo track? Then: the percussion instrument on #12 is definitely not a tabla - Mike, can you help? Sounds like some arabian frame drums to me, but I'm not at all an expert (tablas I own myself, though...). ubu

Happy birthday!

Sorry to hear this! Sad news r.i.p.

Oh my, oh my... if it hasn't been common knowledge by now that Bean ripped off Brötzlmeistr big time... Hey you moldy fig! Didn't you know that Brötzelmeister has been accepted as an old-fashioned mainstream jazz musician thirty years ago? Even this Hawkins guy stole a lot of Brötzmann tricks! Don't go all girlie about this now, pu-lleaze!

Thanks, indeed! Got to take the Atlantic box out of the shelf again soon! ubu

Now that "add reply" button got ugly right now... I guess b3-er is pulling some tricks with the board software... On the Golson track: not only the tune, but the pianist, too, makes another appearance on my discs. As this is one of the easiest to identify, I guess you got to check that piano player out, now

That Golson thing is one of my dearest treasures... I think his sound here is fantastic, so are his and the pianists solos!

my pleasure!

er...it's KoKo not Jack the Bear...ooops !

Hm, can't find anything else, sorry! I thought the whole Miles in Belgium tree had been seeded, but it may just be too long back now and the info is not up there, any longer.

Miles in Belgium Tree Show #2 Here's something quite a bit more substantial from Mr. Davis and company. This show is a prime example of the power and subtlety of the second great quintet. It's hard to believe that this was one of their last major tours. They were definitely at the top of their game. This show was included in the Miles 67 tree and may have been seeded here previously. This source is excellent quality and it may be different from what some of you have. And another happy thanksgiving (or the equivalent) to all MFs out there in the world. Go Cowboys!

Wow, spinning it again I realized that "E.B." is that SMOKIN' trio track on "The World of C.T."! I love that track! Strange I didn't recognize it... it's all about the labelling... I even played "E.B." when I did a five-part radio programme on Taylor's music!

Well, I have the Mosaic Cecil Taylor on Candid. The cut titled "E.B." is an old favorite of mine having first heard it on one of two Barnaby LP reissues of the Candid material and your track #10 has the same theme, so why your cut has a composer other than Cecil and a different title as well, is anyone's guess. Since you have the Candids, check it out for yourself. I will, thanks! Taylor definitely (and openly admitted by the artist concerned) is a huge influence. I just couldn't remember that title! Will check it out tomorrow, it's bedtime now...

do you have gum in your beard? Are you a robot?

I'd be interested in the Henderson Big Band! The Miles left today - please tell me when you get it! (Same for the BFT - I've had some packages lost on their way to the US, so I'm back to confirming that I sent and to checking arrival of each and every package again...)

now THAT will crackle like a camp fire once you light it! no one would want to remove any of those snaps, crackles and rolls, right?

is it okay if I edit my previous remark? you could as well have ignored my remark then! you know, I ignore all my... oh, wait, you're talking of your remarks? now I'm all snaps and pops in my brain...

Free Standing Cedar

is it okay if I edit my previous remark? If I may re-quote you, sure, go ahead? (Or was that directed at the addresse of the clinical-remark? Sorry, I'm always so self-centered... )

see, I chose to ignore y'all... I guess that's clynical (though I mix up words now and then, maybe I meant to say cynical?)

More comments following... some interesting comments, Jim! I *love* that "Body and Soul" and I love both "Whisper Not" and that tenor man, but I urge you to give a listen to the ivory tickler, too (hint! hint!). For #14... well, no, I can't tell that now... you'll have to wait, just look at it as a bonus track that was not intended to be there (I miscalculated some timings, had to omit two tracks, but it gave me space for that one). ubu

not at all, not at all

#17 was also identified correctly (composition-wise). Sorry I forgot that. ubu
