I just found out. The above thing is a bit less than half of the two CD set, it seems. So go buy the CD!

Hey wait, I didn't follow this thread lately, is the thing I linked to from that CD? Or is it more of the same gig(s)? ubu

Won't be up for too long (until Oct. 12, I suppose): There are around three or four minutes of talking before it actually starts, so don't give up too fast. Listening right now, looks interesting enough on Paper, Presencer, Parker and Watts, all in one band! ubu

A fantastic site! I just joined the group a few days ago, after exchanging a few mails with the person who maintains this site (as well as some more, among them a huuuuuuge Sam Rivers gig-ography). ubu

Türkoz belongs to the Zurich free/improv scene, I never heard her live so far, but she's all over the few places and festivals dedicated to this music (such as Taktlos and the new and great Unerhört). Enjoy! I never had a chance here to see her in such fast company, but with this band, I'd definitely give it a try! ubu

Those Jazz Views usually are. Hey, stop that discussion and get the Water! What a nice reissue! Really, that's one of the best and most lovingly done reissues I've seen of late (ok, I still don't have the Uptown Eager, and nothing beats the Uptown Mingus...), and all you Ayler fans should go that way! Jazz Views are cheap, but they have the advantage of giving us recordings usually not out on decent CD releases, but as this is not the case anymore with the Ayler, go and buy the Water reissue! ubu

Uh, Bently, my complicated sentences might have done it again... I have that one ("After Hours") and rank it easily among the five top modern jazz vocal discs I've heard! Don't have the Ran Blake disc, though, nor any of the others mentioned here. And I do agree on one account: I'm a vocal fan (or rather: turning into one more and more, an ongoing process), but this album seems to be appealing to people who *hate* jazz vocals! ubu

http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=6342 Find some discussion there. As you'll see I got a single DVD with the Jammin' the Blues film, the Miles, and some more. ubu

Still haven't come around to check out any of the discs mentioned here except for the two Owls. Have had the Waldron duos for some time and love it immensely. Recently I got "Natural Affinities", and I'm not really sure how much I like it. I see the creativity, the ideas and all, but somehow that disc doesn't just "click". Maybe that's not what it's about, though. I love the Mingus thing, for sure, and I'll listen to it again. ubu

big for all the Ibrahims, as well as for Tapscott and Weston! Here's one by Bley (one of the very few discs of his I have so far): Originally on Owl, it has recently been reissued by Universal, as has the Weston Owl album, which is great indeed! ubu

Oh, sorry! I think I made a few comments in the rat. In short: I haven't been overwhelmed, but it's a good one, all in all. As there are Hannibal, Adams, and Sco, there ain't that much solo space for Burton, but the marvellous duo he and Adams play is great even if it's all for Adams, solo-wise. Will have to listen to it a couple of times... ubu

Ah, ok, that could be - Frutiger and all that stuff's swiss... didn't see but crappy small pics of it online, but I guess that could be it.

I read somewhere online that the graphics where "swiss style" - anyone knows what that is supposed to mean?

I highly recommend all of the Last Exit albums I have heard but they can be difficult to track down for reasonable prices. I'm guessing they are all OOP now, correct? I only have this one, never crossed paths with any of the others yet. Heavy stuff, but good.

back home! nice to have such a nice home to come back to after a stormy and tiring day... ubu B-)

I just read on the Ayler discography site that the tracks from Albert Smiles With Sunny that do not appear on Prophecy are all included in the Revenant box, so all of the material will be readily available now. I mentioned that either here or on the Holy Ghost thread, and after checking the playlists of the Tree and the upcoming box, it is true, all there, and thus no need to get that release. ubu

I just found out that a local library has a copy of this one, so I'll be giving it a spin very soon. I love all the ECMs a lot! Maybe "Nice Guys" is my favourite - that one track where they do the reggae thing is hilarious!

good choice!

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...
