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

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)?
