Guy, my best wishes to your birthday!

And yes, I am getting weekends off. Enjoy the Supersilent! The Necks started that night, then came a german-dutch nostalgic free jazz group, and to top it off, there followed the Supersilent concert you're listening right now. QUite a night!

are you getting weekends off? I didn't expect to see you back hear for a few weeks. I'm listening to the live Supersilent disc right now, very nice! The Necks played that same festival the Supersilent concert comes from.

Saw the Necks live three years ago. A terrific concert! I had a CD from a friend once, but that was before I was able to burn CDRs, so there's nothing in my collection. Live I would go and see/hear them anytime again, though!

Very sad news! I wish his Tome VI was available on CD!

Thanks, John! I missed that thread. Looks like some real fine stuff! ubu

yes I have this one I dont think you can go wrong with any of the Ayler / Cherry material. I prefer the way mine's looking, I have to admit: The music is what counts, though, and it is fantastic! ubu

In my experience Amazon Germany's prices are usually lower. Yes, but as the Emarcy releases *might* be produced by French Universal... no idea, was just a guess. The prizes are a bit steep. But how about the music? Any of you heard any of these albums? ubu

seconded - top drawer Ayler (& Cherry). That one is great, yes! But I prefer the Hilversum album (released by George Coppens on his own Coppens outlet - check the Ayler Supranet site for info on how to order, I think Coppens posted there). What I find a bit strange is that the longer of two dates by this quartet, released on Ayler records (Live in Copenhagen or similar title) is now in the box - this will certainly keep many of us from buying that Ayler Records release. Not so fair, I'd say. However I suppose the estate of Ayler did agree, and I really hope Jan Ström of Ayler Records was asked as well and did agree. ubu

David, these Emarcy's look mighty fine, though I don't know any of them yet! I guess Amazon France might end up having them for a nicer prize (they don't list any prize yet, though). Keep us posted! ubu

Had a wonderful time listening to this one: Wow! I really really like it! Music of great purity and beauty. Then: John Zorn The Gift Quite nice stuff. Zorn himself only plays piano and theremin on one of ten tracks, the band is Marc Ribot, Jamie Saft, Joey Baron, Cyro Baptista and Trevor Dunn, with a couple of guests sitting in, among them on one tune Dave Douglas, shining on his trumpet. The music is well, rather - what should I call that? - conventional? easy? It's got that southern laid-back feeling you alse have on Joey Baron's projects (mainly the band with Blythe-Frisell-Carter I'm thinking of, but also the band with Shepik-Cardenas-Scherr), and some south-of-the-border sounds. Ribot is playing quite undistorted, most of the time, with a sweet sound not unlike Bill Frisell's. Then, having dinner, I continued with: A great album! Ribot is on this one, as well, providing quite much to the success of the whole sound. While this may be (or: seem?) quite accessible upon the first encounter (which was the case tonight, never listened to it before, just got it, in fact), I really think it will reward repeated listens, and I have a feeling it may grow quite some over the years. It's all relatively simple, of course there's Waits' usual bag o'tricks, but there's no horns, no Tom-goes-Ol' Blue Eyes stuff, but just songs, with some guitars, a bass, and most often also some percussion. Among the songs are a few that I consider quite good, indeed. One of them, "Sins of My Father," grows to biblical lenghts and heights and depths, not unlike the quarter of an hour song Highlands on Dylan's great album "Time out of Mind". ubu

Ronnie Matthews Trio, Selena's Dance Should fit, I guess!

Happy birthday!

There's some real nice Jim Hall up to listen here. Here's the info: There's around 4-5 minutes of talking before the concert starts, you can skip that once you have the thing playing with RealPlayer. Of course you can also record it... ubu

one of her best parts, in my opinion!

"Tears..." is excellent, indeed! The only other Curson I have is this one (also on Marge/Futura): It's been quite long since I last heard it, though. ubu

One of the old Blakey Bohemia discs (the orig. Messengers recording) was the same in a store here, though I did listen first, luckily...

Aric, both "Repulsion" and "The Sweet Smell of Success" are fantastic films! Hope you get a chance to see the McKenzie soon! It's one of the darkest films of its time!

I plead guilty...

Yes, but the Paris concert is about the same, we have only around 20 minutes, so there has to be more...

not even on the ayler tree? ayler tree Disc 4 1. Our prayer [Donald Ayler] (4:25) 2. Ghosts [Ayler] | Bells [Ayler] (11:12) 3. Truth is marching in [Ayler] (7:02) 4. Omega [Ayler] (3:42) Personnel: Donald Ayler-tp; Albert Ayler-ts; Michel Sampson-vln; Bill Folwell-b; Beaver Harris-d. Berlin Jazz Festival, Berlin, Germany, 661103. That's from Berlin, not from Paris! I'd love to hear the Paris concert! Parts of it - though as Brownie suggests, OTHER parts - are on the HatArt/HatOLOGY "Lörrach/Paris" disc. ubu

My Richard Williams Candid CD had three booklets, my Joe Roland Bethlehem had two...

couw did it again! the king just peed his...

I think it's the Internet & website; fans find out much more quickly these days, and places like this only fan the flames. For which I'm grateful! May be, but the bad thing is I will have to spend winter without food and clothes, if this continues...

It's already tagged "last chance"... they wrote (upon my request) that they think it should be around for at least two weeks. Hell, why do they move so fast? Those sets used to be "running low" for a much longer time earlier!
