  2. Hi everybody! As no one seems to be without any version of the Miles 1964 concert, here's a more attractive offering: just got it new, sealed, in a local Leo sale, and I can assure you, this is a fantastic set of music, featuring the late Peter Niklas Wilson on bass, with Hannes Wienert on alto and trumpet: First to post here gets it! ubu
  3. spent all my tender years on buying cds...
  4. Village Vanguard! And big on "Crescent" - I absolutely love that disc! ubu
  5. Jim, I plead guilty of offering a live recording to others now and then, publicly (though I don't exaclty consider the "funny rat" "public", I'd be happy if the public would take part in discussion there, though). I understand that, too, should be handled more discreetly and will do so in future. Apologies if anything I posted caught your eye in this regard!

    Sorry, can't link them to appear right here, but these are two very nice photos: Paul Gonsalves & René Thomas same, with Rick Laird & Johnny Butts From this nice site I didn't know before: http://freddywarren.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/index.html ubu
  7. Hey Michael, congrats on that gig, and enjoy your reunion! And please record it for us poor Europeans To correct my picture painted of Griffin above: I saw a festival concert taped somewhere in Germany (Europa Park festival, I think? Didn't know that even existed), and Griffin looks and plays much better than what I witnessed in my above post. Also I watched that (rather disappointing) tv bit of Roberta Gamabarini's all stars (with Griff, Hargrove and Slide Hampton), and Griff was fine and well-looking there, too - they had a few short backstage shots in there between tunes, and I think once someone other than Griff even pulled a joke that they had to hide the beer from him or something). ubu
  8. Up for subscriptions! And please do post here if you got your set! I'd like to know how many of you have it before I open the discussion (of course I'll wait for .:.impossible's answers threads, first). ubu
  9. Same here, I usually read new comments, too, whenever they are posted! I missed out on two or three so far, and I hope I always sent a mail or PM to explain and apologize, if not, please consider this my apology! -_- ubu
  10. Boosting this up - probably for the last time now! Aw shucks, just drop a PM if interested, even if the discussion has already started. Somehow I'll be able to fix you up with a copy! ubu
  11. So if I said I post from Fidschi or somewhere, am I still in on time? Happy birthday, Jon! Hope you had a good one, and wish you all the best for the year to come! And thanks again for your help with my BFT! ubu
  12. She's nice, but that's about it. She'd kill to have one per cent of Grace's class. Why bother about Oscars if you like good filmmaking... this is about show business, not about films. And hell, Scorsese should have gotten Oscars for "Taxi Driver" and "Mean Streets", and if not for those he should have at least gotten it for "Age of Innocence"... nowadays he seems to go commercial, just as Coppola did two decades ago. Sad that so few american directors and/or actors pull their thing through. Look at Robert Altman for a role model (ok, ok, fire away now...) ubu
  13. Happy Birthday Wes! ubu

    René Thomas

    Wow, EKE! Those photos are beautiful! On my home computer I can see them, they wouldn't appear at work... ubu
  15. Happy Birthday!
  16. In my opinion: yes, very much so! Though I consider Bev and jazz1 (he's not posted for a long time, though) the Westbrook authorities here. ubu
  17. I obviously didn't know that expression... but knowing what "Baedeker" is I got a good laugh... Of course I never meant to say the Brits were the only who did bombings, but that IS the image many Germans now try to set up, even if by just not mentioning their own track record, without actually denying it. Quite sick stuff going on there... But now indeed back to Westbrook!
  18. Hey wait a minute, did the Brits also drop bombs on Exeter during WWII?
  19. sure, it's yours..... , will send it out monday (still have your address) Cheers, Tjobbe Thanks a lot! My offering: Miles Davis: 1964 Concert (Four&More plus My Funny Valentine) For someone who does not plan to get the the "Seven Steps" box... ubu
  20. so this thread boils down to the fact that walmart is communist, or did i get something wrong here? got a good laugh...
  21. "Turner in Uri" is great! I've got a broadcast recording of most of it (I believe the last of 7 parts is incomplete, otherwise it's all there).
