John Carter, Perry Robinson, again Gilad Atzmon... haven't heard too much of either of them, but I like them very much!

I don't at all want to argue about this threads in general, but Chuckster is at least partially right... some of the older are among the best. dig Charlie Mariano, for instance, te mention at least an alto player! Then there was Teddy Edwards, there still are Von Freeman and Fred Anderson, there's Wayne...

Can't take part in this discussion, really, but there's one disc that indeed hit me in the face like nothing else before AND it was pretty recent when I heard it: Gianni Gebbia - Arcana Major (not for the weak ones!)

this one, correct choice? Yes. It's OOP, so don't wait for too lonmg with ordering it. CDuniverse list it as shipping in 2 days, I;ve not known them to be wrong, here's hoping Neither do I. You'll be listening to it in a week! Please do report!

Zorn turned 50 last year. the question mark referred more to "favourite player" than to the age. frankly I don't really care about age... I mean, look at the tenor thread with the same topic: Wayne Shorter sounds younger and more daring at 71 than most of the players mentioned so far.

...musiques yesterday. Anyone has the whole of it? I missed the first and parts of the second tune ("Petite Fleur" and beginning of "There and Then"). I'd be delighted in any offers for the whole thing! Please PM me! b3-er: kill this thread if it doesn't fit the policy! ubu

I love the Enja discs he made with Ward! The following two are my personal and sentimental favourites, as they were among the first Ibrahim, among the first jazz, in fact, that I heard: ubu

this one, correct choice? yes! I thought it was OOP, but if you get it, you'll be a step closer to heaven... saxophonistically spoken, that is. This disc simply blew me away!

John Zorn? Gilad Atzmon! He's not strictly an alto player, plays just as much on soprano and clarinet, but he's an absolutely stunning musician, in my opinion! ubu

Ok ..ok....ok....ordered.... you better be right.........!!!!! arcana major, or what? search the rat for our "da shit"-posts... love that disc, one of the most impressive recordings I've heard so far! ubu

Dolphy, Legrand Jazz, and a live version I have by swiss tenor saxophonist Andy Scherrer. ubu

John B minus 7...

Box just delivered! ubu

Was shocked to read this in the Sunday paper! Very sad he's gone. ubu

but certainly not as cute as your little avatar lady! ubu

to state the obvious: GIANNI GEBBIA Born in Palermo, Italy, May 1, 1961. (homepage) best album of the year it came out: ubu

Another Frank.... Gratkowski: born Hamburg, Germany, 1963 (homepage) ubu

How about Frank Wess? Osby certainly is high up on my list! Check out all the live shows available for free on his website! Like Kenny Garrett, but haven't heard his latest efforts, same for Coleman, who's music I only encounter here and there. ubu

well, seems the Sangrey household has no Webster standing around

Do you have the option of making arrangements to visit their local distribution center and pick up the package? No, they just marked I should advise them for a new date of delivery. And I wouldn't feel safe would they delive to my neighbours... no sir! Also they didn't try, obviously, as certainly someone would have been home (all elderly people). They'll deliver to where I work (I hope I won't get any problem because of that, but I guess that box is worth a few problems!) ubu

Thanks, Mike & Mike I guess I can live believing I have all of it. Might be that one of the newer versions of that album had an alternate coming with a different title or whatever. "Out of This World" of course is the title of the disc, thanks for correcting! Was too lazy to check. ubu

Just listened to the first few minutes of Law, while starting recording it. Sounds great. Corneloup can play! And Échampard is great, too! Will check out that next one as well, sounds cool, and I love Geri Allen. ubu

How do you record it? Here's how: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...F%BDentry133254 Sorry, I thought I had the link in some old PM, but I did ask in a thread still up and found it there. ubu

Most musicians - and fans alike - expect funk to have repeating bass lines - ostinatos. Miroslav's bass lines were funky, but he changed the all the time, no two bars are played exactly the same way, even on his funky Shepherd album pictured above. I have found out many people have difficulties relating to that concept of playing all variations of the bass riff - I find it thrilling. But many musicians have trouble keeping the groove when you start to play variations of funky stuff in the ryhthm section. Guess they have to watch out too much and have to keep up their own rhythmic senses, and cannot slip that easily into their trance-like state of mind they like to improvise in. I love that concept of funk bass! I mean I also love a good ostinato if the bass player can groove it, but it gets really interesting once variations start, or if there is no real ostinato there. I just heard Kim Clarke two days ago, two hours of playing, and yes, she did a few simple licks here and there (obviously, as they were playing Hendrix compositions, see this thread), yet she did astonishing things, without EVER getting flashy (unlike all those Weather Report bassists who do get pretty flashy), and she HAS THE GROOVE! (Is Kim Clarke the Goddess of funk bass? I guess so...) ubu
