I wonder why they'd do this, brownie! Their earlier releases had lots of great alternates (think of the Wilen or the Brownie discs)!

I was afraid this was going to happen Got your PM! *********** Up for more subscribers! Prefferedly send an email to address in my post above. I will update the list of signed up posters later today. Then, I think I have enough US-posters who offered help, but if anyone that signs up now *could* help burning & sending discs, please tell me nevertheless, I might be glad about it later, if I get more subscriptions! ubu

Not a review, obviously, but I quite like the Rudd. It packs good energetic playing and fine solos, especially by Rudd - nice tunes too. I like the Rudd a lot, too! I think I posted a little write up (not a real review) in the "funny rat", you would certainly find it by looking for "Rudd" and me as member. ubu

So maybe that's why they won't bring us the Rivers and Priester and Redman on CD? They're not quietist enough!

it's a very nice date I find, with some repetitive, percussive "minimal" elements and Herbie in a particularly angular mood. I love "Inventions and Dimensions"! That was THE revelation when I got the Herbie box. The music has such a nice easy flow, it's very associative, very free (but never noisy). Killer cover, too, but for that one would have to buy the LP, I suppose... ubu

Susie Ibarra, Ikue Mori, Sylvie Courvoisier:

Wow, this is great news! A real nice series! I wonder why there were no new releases for four years, and now all of a sudden they continue the series?

*IMPORTANT FOR THOSE WHO MAY OFFER HELP* - my BFT has two CDRs, the second disc is two seconds short of 80 minutes, so if you ever had problems burning long discs, consider that before you offer help!

Checking the thread EKE linked I see we had that discussion already, seems like ubu is the old guy here...

Wrong, the Jazz in Paris - with one or two exceptions - had only sessions recorded in Paris. The London sessions of the Quintet of the Hot Club de France were not included in the various Djangos of the series. Disc 4 of the JSP volume 1 has the lot. 26 tracks, 75 minutes of it! They are also in one of the Fremeaux Django 2CD sets which supposedly have everything that Django ever recorded. Thanks brownie! Now is there any other way to get the music? Or is there more on the JSPs that is not part of the Mosaic or the Jazz in Paris discs?

So here's the list of those who have signed up so far: Europe couw > discs received deus62 > discs received brownie > discs received fent99 > discs received tjobbe > discs received Tom Storer > discs received tooter > discs received mikeweil > discs received EKE BBB > discs received mmilovan > discs received clunky > discs received D.D. > discs received Hans Koert > discs received "odd" ones Marcus Oliveira > discs received dutchmanx Nate Dorward > discs received indigo > discs received US - distributors Jim Dye > discs received John B > discs received Noj > discs received Big Al > discs received MartyJazz > discs received US Stefan Wood Dan Gould Bright Moments Jim R > discs received RDK > discs received catesta > discs received JSngry > discs received Man with the Golden Arm > discs received cannonball-addict > discs received .:.impossible > discs received Randy Hersom > discs received hardbopjazz gslade Rooster Ties > discs received Chaney > discs received So it seems with so many US helpers, we need some more sign ups from the US...

So now that I realized my BFT is the next in line, I'll better start this thread a bit early... Drop a mail, including address to: ubu_bft24@yahoo.com *************** Now I'd be happy for offers of help as far as distribution in the US is concerned, so please, if you can offer help in this respect, tell me a) if you'd distribute stuff for me, or b) if you'd be able to make burns AND distribute them. Just for the record: a package of 2CDRs from Switzerland to the US, by air mail, costs around 3.5$ postage. So I'd be very happy if I'd find three or four persons willing to not only distribute but also make burns. A little reimbursement will of course be included (though I haven't decided what exactly...). I will take care of the European mailings, and also of the odd locations such as Brazil or Israel or whatever may turn up. *************** A little note on the contents of my BFT right ahead: the music will be rather special on some accounts (though I settled mainly on mainstream jazz, as I don't want to piss off anyone) and you've most likely never heard any of the recordings (hint! hint!), but you may of course identify at least a couple of the musicians (there's a few tracks that are too easy, but as I love them, I spread them...) So please do sign up without hesitation, even if you're not willing or able to help with distribution! ubu

PM sent re: Billy Hart & Jackson/Freeman ubu

just today realized I'm now #24... a hell of a hurry! I haven't even had time to spin #22 yet... I'll be ready, will start the sign-up/looking-for-US-distribution-help-thread today. ubu

quietist vinyl?

Got this one in a sale: And liked it pretty well. Nice to hear some Malachi Favors! Smith sounds a lot like Miles, but somehow he is pretty much his own man, his sound being somewhat clearer, and lacking the fingernails-on-blackboard-effect that some seem to hear in Miles' playing... >samples here< Also gave a listen to a couple of the Leos (I went back to that store and picked up another 12 of them, in addition to the four I mentioned getting two weeks ago): Giorgio Occhipinti's "Kaos Legend" needs a few more spins, it's pretty dense, three long tunes (an hour, all together) plus one very short to end the disc. Gianni Gebbia is on the first half, Eugenio Colombo on the second, Lauro Rosso (I always thought his last name was "Rossi"...) on trombone, and a few more of the Minafra/Instabile guys are present (though not Minafra himself). Then I gave a first listen to "Position/Dark/Red" by the Not Missing Drums Project. Pretty whack stuff, but good! Also gave a first concentrated listen to the Remote Viewers' disc I got from Chaney (one of the unloved babies), and liked it pretty well. Seems like I'll soon be heading to that sale once again picking up some more Remote Viewers, and needing to check out Gies (he's involved with Not Missing Drums Project) solo release on Leo. The discs I bought are by James Fei, Keshavan Maslak (the trio with Lindberg & Sunny Murray), Trio Alliance, Gies (the duos), Bechegas, Karayorgis (two of his trio's releases)... can't list them all going from memory, but I got most of what was recommended, so many thanks again! ubu

Short of getting the Mosaic box, you'ld be OK with the two other JSP Django Reinhardts 'The Classic Early Recordings, vol. 1' and 'Paris and London, 1937-1948, vol. 2'. Remastering on those was done by Ted Kendall who worked from good 78s sources. The two JSP boxes are more complete than the Mosaic which has the Swing and HMV sides only. The Decca sides are on the JSP boxes. I suppose the Deccas are on the Jazz in Paris discs, too, so if I have those (seven they are, some stuff from other labels than Decca is included, too, I believe), I won't need the JSPs, right? (I do have the Mosaic and love it.) ubu

Sorry, I must have read too fast... I have that "Blow Up" CD, too, so the question is still up! Same thing as the LP? ubu

Sorry for being late - congratulations, John!

That one's from Juan-les-Pins (Antibes Jazz Festival), if the CD liners are correct, so I suppose no, not the same, but then I haven't heard it yet (the Swedish thing, I mean). ubu

Thanks for the Nuscope & Trio 3 recs! The Nuscope disc sounds very interesting! And that Shepp sounds good, too. I got a burn of "Left Alone Revisited" lying around somewhere, but I only gave it one listen some time ago. The other later day Shepp I also have a burn of, the one with Rudd (and Moncur III) I found pretty boring, to be honest, and that has a lot more to do with Shepp than with the trombone players, as at least Rudd can still deliver the goods (see "MALIcool", a marvellous disc). ubu

As this thread is up again, I can gladly report I got hold of "Abstract" a few months ago (via Amazon UK), and love it just as much as "Free Form"! Two great, if not essential, discs. ubu

Thanks! I didn't know that he was the founder of the festival, just know some of his announcements.

Now that the board is up again: I liked the Trio 3 disc quite a lot better on my second listen. Workman has a beautiful sound, and the band often grooves quite some.
