ubu buying some leos... (as if he needed them...) John does very fast delivery and is a pleasure to deal with, just in case someone may have any doubts! ubu

I thought someone was a Dolphy specialist of sorts It is availabel for $10 directly from Gunter Schuller's label GM Records That doesn't necessarily mean that someone has to have all that was released by Dolphy, yes? I'm a fan, not a specialist My "Tome VI" is pretty beat up, so I can't say anything about the sound. I'm visitor no. 1 too, by the way. ubu

Happy birthday, Brad! ubu

Happy birthday! Hope you have some garotas de ipanema celebrating with you (catesta, where's the photos?) ubu

I'd be interested but can't afford it at the moment, waiting for the Ayler box and with the Krupa/James on the list...

I love the Schifrin Sade disc a lot! Paid quite some, but for me it was worth it! Mellé's recordings for Blue Note certainly qualify! I love the first of his ten inchers! Some of those sounds come directly from Mars it seems...

I enjoy reading all your comments, but still haven't gotten a chance to sit down and really listen...

Couldn't find a bigger picture, but this is certainly one of the most "off the beaten path" albums I ever heard:

Well Chuck, for us younger ones such a topic leads to the time machine thing without further thinking - I don't even start listing anyone, that list would continue endlessly... Steve - I've seen both the Instabile and the Guy New Orchestra. Instabile was good, but Guy was IT! Really the best concert I ever witnessed. The band played his new composition "Oort - Entropy" (I assume it will come out on record, though that's not at all the same), and it was INSANE! My wishlist certainly has Cecil Taylor right on top! Von Freeman would be close as well, but he sticks to the states, it seems... ubu

That file should be up until Sunday afternoon (our time) or evening, then will be replaced with the next programme (Sonore!!!) ubu

Oh yes! What a great disc! Getz also did that "Voices" album, released on this nice (but not essential, I think) twofer: The first album included fits the topic of the thread as well. There's some more on this 2CD set: And here's our friend Nate Dorward's review. ubu

Here's a bit of the Bad Plus live at Tampere, Finland, October 31st of last year. Pretty good, in my opinion! If the link does not work, go to the site here: http://www.radiofrance.fr/chaines/france-m...ion.php?e_id=37 and click on "ECOUTER". I have to admit I was quite surprised how much I like those few tracks offered there! I never thought about picking up their disc(s) (probably because all the raves put me off), but I really enjoy the music! ubu

Thanks, fent! I know about that site, but I always forget it again... a great one! I'll record it as long as it's still online! Sounds very interesting - I haven't checked any London Jazz Comp. Orch., and actually not much by Guy that is olden than four or five years, so I've never encountered Riley. ubu

Never heard (of) him, and didn't yet ahve a chance to listen - any info by anyone?

This really sucks! Has happened to me a couple of times - once they even charged my credit card right away, only to tell me two weeks later that they don't have it! There seem to be professional scammers on Amazon marketplace, who have everything that is rare, and once you order they don't have it... I suppose Amazon doesn't care. ubu

...which is GREAT news! I think we had a thread where someone (Bertrand?) listed all studio sessions from taht period... should be a great one! ubu

Sorry to interrupt your Wayne's World discussion (can't add anything to that, I'm afraid), but here's one of my all time favourite solo piano albums: I think I prefer this one by a close shave to the San Francisco Riverside. The other Riverside solo already mentioned has a much looser feel to it, which is great, but I don't love it as much as I do the ones above. Then there's, ahm, God, of course: And how about Bill Evans solo? I mainly consider him being a trio pianist, but then he made some very nice solo albums, as well! ubu

Tchicai is on the Dorge disc dedicated to Dyani I mentioned above. If he is playing some of the solos I think (there's a second tenor player), he's got a great full fat sound. There's a nice story on Mats Gustafsson in the October issue of The Wire (the one with Zeena Parkins and Ikue Mori on the cover - didn't read that story yet). ubu

And agree with what B3-er said

love the rat part!

I will have to look for that "Vintage Dolphy" disc! Difficult to find? That one IS good, I wasn't sure you were talking of this. It was out on a twofer on Verve/Phillips, "The Cool World/Dizzy goes Hollywood", two very nice albums of one of Dizzy's best bands, the one with James Moody and Kenny Barron. I love it! Same here, but I'd ratehr have at least four of those six tracks instead of waiting for a reissue that never happens... It seems there's an alternate take of "All About Rosie" on this CD: I'm not sure if this one has only been released long after the actual recordings took place, but if not, if it was out on LP back in the day, it certainly fits the topic of this thread, as well (I don't yet own it, though). ubu

Another nice thing I found googling:

This is all from the Downbeat website:

I can't help with regard to key sessions, but I enjoy immensely what I've heard of his music. There is a 3CD box set called "A Study in Frustration" (what a title ) on Columbia, but it has horrible sound. Nice booklet, however. Here's a photo: And one more: ubu
