Have gotten immesurable joy from listening to discs 4-6 of the Django set! What a great musician he was! ubu

impossible to vote here... a few other important ones: Intakt (Switzerland, www.intaktrec.ch/) Hat Records (Switzerland, www.hathut.com) FMP/Free Music Production (Germany, www.fmp-online.de/) ubu

Picked that disc up in some sale some time ago, liked it quite a lot, too! Will have to give it a spin again. I believe that neither Sambeat nor Puig are german, but probably Spanish. Sambeat made discs with Brad Mehldau (the Rossy brothers are Spanish too, aren't they?). Here's the cover: And here's the Valle profile from the ACT website: (source: http://www.actmusic.com/valle-bio.htm) ubu

Have been lying in bed since Sunday, went - for the very first time - through discs 1 to 17 of the Ducal RCA box. Right now: the Bud Freeman sessions on Disc 4 of the Capitol Mosaic, before that the whole disc 1 of the same set. Will stay with it for a while listening to some select sessions, some still are new to me. ubu

I thought this was some kind of poll... wouldn't have been sure if I'd voted for George W. the glorious crusader, or for ariceffron, future of US law

I have to agree on "Unit Structures" - it may indeed be THE BADDEST ever album Blue Note recorded! ubu

looking forward, thanks!

Have a good one, Adrian! And many happy returns! ubu

pm sent!

I planned to get everything ready last weekend, but I caught some flu again and am in bed with high fever since Saturday night, not having any of the BFT material with me... Sorry, can't step in earlier! ubu

http://www.kind-of-blue.de/seiten/boxen/mi...omplete_box.htm The above link leads you to a page with a full listing, though organized in a bit of a strange way. ubu

As far as I know, Ortega is alive. I think so, too. Anyone has heard this disc? It's a quartet with g-b-d. ubu

David, thanks for the additional Leo recommendations! I saw the Gies, and the Fei, too, I think. The Bickerton and Maneri I got from John a few months back. Problem now is that I'm sick in bed with rather high fever and don't know when I can make it back to that store...

The group disc on Free America ("Donna Lee") is marvellous! I haven't yet been able to check out the solo set (which holds 2CDs, by the way). I tried my lousy reviewing skills on "Donna Lee" in the "funny rat". Should be on the second newest page now (page 100, if you use the 40 posts/page option). ubu

Thanks a lot David! Btw: the "Frontier" disc I listed above I got, mixed that up when browsing the Leo site. Will look for: - Karayorgis: Heart & Sack (& any other of his discs) - Moscow Composers Orchestra (all I can find, at least two I think) - Guyvoroska/Petrova (sounds interesting) - Collective 4tet - Trio Alliance and will get an earful of: - Bley/Maslak (very ugly cover, but Feigin seems to be rather good in designing those ugly covers...) - Maslak's "Mother Russia" if it's there - any Remote Viewers other than the one I have - Actis Dato (need to find out myself, but I had an earful and found it boring, will invest a bit more time) Thanks again everybody! ubu

Thanks for teh recommendations! I believe I saw otehr Karayorgis discs, but couldn't remember which ones when browsing the Leo site. Any other recommendations? Not sure about the Carlo Actis Dato, as I got an earful at the shop the day before yesterday, and wasn't really convince of it. ubu

Nope, didn't list that one. There were several discs on sale taht I have, such as that Remote Viewers disc, the Collective 4tet, a Maneri trio, Chameleo Vulgaris, ARP Music (anyone needs it?), and maybe some more, too. Thanks for the ratings. Now waiting for our Russian friend to chime in! ubu

(Vincenzo Mazzone: Ping Pong, Leo Lab 056) (Remote Viewers: Obliques Before Pale Skin, Leo Lab 063) (Keshavan Maslak / Paul Bley: Romance In The Big City, Leo Records 104) (Vyacheslav Guyvoronsky / Evelin Petrova Duo: Chonyi Together, Leo Records 268) That's about it, so it's in fact mostly Leo Lab releases. There were some more, but I couldn't remember all the covers... ubu

(J.W.Brennan: Moskau-Petushki, Leo Lab 034) (Moscow Composers Orch) Feat. Sainkho: Let Peremsky Dream, Leo Lab 035) (Natsuki Tamura: A Song for Jaki, Leo Lab 039) (Vyacheslav Ganelin/Petras Vysniauskas/Arkadi Gotesman: Trio Alliance, Leo Lab 042) (Pandelis Karayorgis Trio) (I believe I have a recording of the original radio broadcast of this one) ... to be continued

So here's some Leos I think I saw in the sale, any recommendations appreciated! (Moscow Composer Orch. feat. Namchylak: Italian Love Affair, Leo Lab 019) (Max Nagl: Daily Bullet, Leo Lab 023 - some strange vocals here...) ... to be continued

Indeed Christiern: Thanks very much! And yes, "Cathouse Piano" includes one 10" and one 12" album, and yes, going from memory (being at work), I think you indeed wrote the notes! ubu

all in some sale, for 10 CHF (which is a bit less than 7 euros, a bit more than 8 $), all new: -Vladimir Tarasov/Vladimir Miller/Vitas Pilibavicius: "Frontiers" (Leo Lab 016) -Glenn Hall OutSource Roswell Rudd: "The Roswell Incident" (Leo 313) -Satoko Fuji Orchestra: "South Wind" (Leo Lab 037) -Ganelin Trio: "Opuses" (Leo 171) -Trio3 (Lake-Cyrille-Workman): "Open Ideas" (Palmetto) -Art Farmer & Slide Hampton: "In Concert" (Enja Winkelmann) -Bill Harris: "Live at Birdland 1952" (Baldwin Street Music) -Curtis Fuller: "Up Jumped Spring" with Brad Goode (Delmark) -Harold Ousley: "Grit-Gittin' Feelin'" (Delmark) -V-Disc Parties: Goodman/Krupa (Nostalgia Arts) -Buddy Collette: "Tasty Dish" (Freshsound) -Buddy Collette: "Soft Touch" (Freshsound) Gave the Farmer/Hampton a spin just now, nice. Right now listening to Fuller and his big round sound treating "Cantaloupe Island", the opener of "Up Jumped Spring". ubu

Did some shopping a few hours ago, 10 Franks per disc (a bit less than 7 Euros, a bit more than 8 US$, approx.): rat-related stuff, all Leos but the last one: -Vladimir Tarasov/Vladimir Miller/Vitas Pilibavicius: "Frontiers" (Leo Lab 016) -Glenn Hall OutSource Roswell Rudd: "The Roswell Incident" (Leo 313) -Satoko Fuji Orchestra: "South Wind" (Leo Lab 037) -Ganelin Trio: "Opuses" (Leo 171) -Trio3 (Lake-Cyrille-Workman): "Open Ideas" (Palmetto) non-rat-related: -Art Farmer & Slide Hampton: "In Concert" (Enja Winkelmann) -Bill Harris: "Live at Birdland 1952" (Baldwin Street Music) -Curtis Fuller: "Up Jumped Spring" with Brad Goode (Delmark) -Harold Ousley: "Grit-Gittin' Feelin'" (Delmark) -V-Disc Parties: Goodman/Krupa (Nostalgia Arts) -Buddy Collette: "Tasty Dish" (Freshsound) -Buddy Collette: "Soft Touch" (Freshsound) ************* Listening now to the Farmer/Hampton, nice extended live tunes, nothing absolutely great, though, but one I had my eyes on for some time, and at that prize I couldn't go wrong. There were quite a lot of other Leo and Leo Lab discs. I'll have to browse their site a bit though, and try and go by covers to ask you guys for some recommendations of what else I could/should/have to get. ubu
