Thanks to those of you who posted guesses so far! I'll wait with dropping hints a bit longer, just let me say that the animalist guesses are quite on the mark. Also, Merrill is the easy one, and that vocal snippet is rather easy, too, but that's not really part of the guessing game, anyway. What I can say at this point is that the compositions #1, #4, #5, #8 have been nailed. #7 was never called by name, but that one's obvious in that respect, too. Marty: not sure what Taylor tune you mean wiht #10, cann you tell me? Is there one called "E.B." (don't have the Candids handy and falling asleep soon, too late to google any now). This is not a Taylor composition, at least not identified as such on my source, but I'd like to give a comparative listen! Keep it comin'! And Jim & Marty, please post more on those tracks you're missing yet! ubu

But all those great Weston recordigs were produced by that Allard guy, right? Do you know anything about him? Can't check, but was he in charge of the recent anniversary series of Universal France, too?

You better be quiet, sir! Bringing those smelly friends here... I've had it! You see, your post that I quote obviously is empty, so I already have the ignore function working. No more cow smell in here!

wow! I have two of them on CD (missing the Ellington, if memory serves right). Why are all these great Weston French Universal discs OOP, so much great music there, "Marrakesh...", "Saga" (the only one not OOP, I think), than the beautiful disc with Teddy Edwards... Do the albums included all the tracks the CDs have? Running 50+ minutes? ubu

you spelling yourself dizzy? or is that that dizzy smell that has that strange effect on your thinking?

You know, you're much too nice to appear in the nastiness thread anyway. I will now just ignore you

brownie, I think we had a discussion of this already, maybe on the BNBB? It's been two years or three years since I saw the film last time, but I think indeed there's but a few seconds of Mingus group music. The rest is some solo bass, and some very nice Hadi solo spots. Can't remember Newborn (but don't know him/his playing style at all, anyway). Hadi gets most of the music, but then, even that is but a few moments, the longest of those solo spots running maybe 20 or 30 seconds. ubu

We actualy seem to have surprisingly similar tastes. My mother has some very vivid imagination, and her comments on the music were both insightful (I have no idea how she did it, but she was fairly accurate in predicting how Polweschel music would build up) and hilarious. Have to run to catch my plain now (will listen to ubu's BFT on the 5-hour light), but will post some of her comments later. Enjoy the listen! There are a few tracks that are down your/our (ratty) alley, but most of it is just beautiful music (at least that's what I think it is...) And on your mother! Have you tried Soegard? Maybe she instinctively catches those weirdo structures (Krebs etc)?

You're so *nasty*, you know... ubu

ugly... it starts and stops snowing, gets freezing cold in the night, wet in the day... and that image below is from two minutes ago, 1.30 p.m., not early morning or something... ugly grey weather. Can't wait for spring any longer!

Got the Mr. Dodo disc recently, but haven't really listened to it yet... souds like you had some serious fun!

Hey wait a minute, that Denny guy was so bad while he was still alive, who would want to hear his music now that he finally left us alone? ubu

Now this is funny! I offered that one, too (mine was gone very fast)! A great disc!

It is 16% - do you want to say there is no VAT in Switzerland? Yes there is, but it's 5 or 6 or 7 %. Not sure if Amazon deducts all of it, or just the actual difference... never bothered to look that close, as I'm just glad to get a 7.77 Euro CD for less than 7 Euros, in the end

Sure sure! And that asshole with nothing intelligent to say (hey that's one of two hebrew words I know, btw) Daniel A cut me to pieces on that attached image! He ought rather have cut "Che" to pieces... Hey Daniel: how about taking part in the BFT I just started? You were a regular there, back when it started, no? Drop a PM with address if you'd be interested! ubu

Saw that after I posted... but how would you do MP3s with FLAC Frontend? Via WAV, as I suggested? Using that or another programme? (Not that it matters to me, as I don't have any use for MP3s.)

http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html (btw, I don't know the thing John posted above)

Don't know about FLAC > MP3, but if you want to burn them on regular CDRs, you got to install FLAC Frontend. All very easy. That one makes WAVs out of the FLACs, and I suppose you using an MP3 player know how to handle WAVs. ubu

Uh, only now i realise I'm from Germany, too! I guess then I could have safely voted for Europe... (I did that, in teh end, but due to Switzerland's political isolation I considered other for a few seconds) Hey, you gotta see the silver lining ... no import taxes anymore. Yes, but the import taxes from Germany can - at least with Amazon's free shipping for orders starting with 20 Euros - be omitted. AND I get the VAT reimbursed, making everything 12.5% (or how high is that stoopidest and most unsocial of all taxes in Germany again?) cheaper.

That was be me. Buffalo: a parmesan slice of paradise. Little Italy?

Fascinating discussion here, thanks everybody! Will have to spin Breakthrough again! Cornelius: my nomination for best (which in the end is no more than personal favourite, anyway) Mobley album is "Soul Station". I never really "got" "Roll Call" so far... don't ask why, I don't know... I'm a big Mobley fan!

Can I get the Di Battista?
