Hey you moldy fig! Didn't you know that Brötzelmeister has been accepted as an old-fashioned mainstream jazz musician thirty years ago?

That's what I meant to say, of course! Thanks for correcting!

Capitol is part of the EMI "family", yes? Strange, so it does not run low because of any licensing problems, I suppose? I'm afraid I'll HAVE to get it... ubu

Speaking of Enja Weber, I got this one some time ago, and it's quite good, it couples two whole albums: The first one is with Hancock, McBee (not the Japanese clothes store), and Jimmy Lovelace, the second with Hubert Eaves, Ron Carter, McCury, Kenneth Nash. Recorded in 1965 and 1974 respectively.

D.D.: that's the Enja Horst Weber label, the Winckelmann has been active all the time and bringing us some goodies regularly. Weber has not been really out of business, it seems - he did, for instance that duo disc (don't have it) of Shepp and Waldron, two years ago or maybe three. I'm not really interested in the Takase - she did an earlier programme, I think exactly the same band, but with Fred Frith on guitar, and no trumpet playing W.C. Handy - don't know the disc, but her Willisau gig was... well, annoying. You didn't really get to know if they actually WERE playing that bad and amateur-like, or if they consciously TRIED TO APPEAR as amateurs... Mahall was in charge of spoken introductions, they were NOT funny yet some of them went longer than the music to follow (4 minutes of talking, then 3 minutes of music - glad that rationale applies not to all concerts and neither to CDs...) end of rant. That disc you have with Dorge sounds pretty cool! Didn't check out Khan Jamal, but it seems he's one of more (or most) interesting vibists coming on us since the sixties.

Check that site again, there's some new stuff there! ubu

Sad news. R.i.p. ubu

Thanks! So I'll go back to that store and get the other DVD as well!

For the most part I agree with Mike, but I wouldn't want to do away with the Funny Rat thread, either. I really enjoy the "conversation" we are having there. Voted yes, but I'd miss the rat, for sure!

Gary, more from that concert, as well as many CDs more worth of live recordings are available as MP3s on Osby's website: http://www.gregosby.com/mp3.html and http://www.gregosby.com/mp3b.html ubu

That's the only problem, yes. But when you only search the recommendations forum and chose "post results as posts" or how that's called, you find everything pretty fast - that's my experience, at least. Will have a listen to the Melford/Bennink, then, as soon as I can! I picked it up in a hat-sale - still have many I never heard...

I have both the duo hatOLOGY's with Bennink, not heard the Melford yet, but I think "Dissonant Characters" is very good. Also I mentioned that Brötz/Mengelberg/Bennink trio disc I picked up on FMP, "Three Points and a Mountain...Plus" - some great stuff on it. Steve - stick around here!

Got a DVD called "Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis: Great Performances". Here's what it includes: #1-3: Jammin' The Blues (Mili) #4: Hot House (Bird & Diz) #5-9: JATP (Mili) #10-13: The Sound of Miles Davis (Smight) ("The Sound of Jazz") #14-17: bonus tracks from Jammin' the Blues. Now first: I have been very very moved, and deeply impressed. Fantastic to see Prez and all the others! Wow! My question is: is the listing above exactly what Disc 1 of the 2DVD set includes? And if so, can someone confirm that item #10 on this list (Dusty Groove) has exactly what is on the second DVD of the 2 DVD set? The store where I bought the "Great Performances" DVD has #10 from the list, but not the 2DVD set, yet if the two single DVDs don't have it all I might go searching for the 2DVD set... I'm hooked! ubu

Interesting enough those two are the ones I have CDRs of Thanks again, gnhrtg! Will report when I heard them a few times!

Three Classics (Bennie Moten, Jelly Roll Morton, Andy Kirk) and one Neatwork (Hawk) - all picked up used. Of course I'd like to have several hundred...

Here's a snapshot from the king's garage:

David, that's yet another album! I only have the tracks in the Ornette box, but I guess this would be nice to have in complete form! Here's a link to the Collectables reissue. ubu

Happy birthday! A great bass player with a beautiful sound, and a great bandleader, too (though somehow - sorry to say this on his birthday - I'd wish in that function he'd be a bit more innovative and open again - the band with Wheeler & Priester was fantastic, in my opinion.)

love that one! Will keep it in mind next time I spin the discs I have of his! ubu

As we're talking third stream now, these are two fantastic discs that went under my radar for much too long: Sony/Legacy 1996 This includes the LP with the cover above, as well as two thirds of the second (not sure, maybe the first, and the following cover was the first...) "Modern Jazz Society presents..." album, with fantastic music by the likes of J.J., Mingus, George Russell, George Lewis, Jimmy Giuffre, and Gunther Schuller. Soloists include Miles and Joe Wilder on the "Birth of..." part, the other LP includes many of the fine musicians that grouped around Russell in those days, Bill Evans (fantastic on "All About Rosie"!), Hal McKusick etc. Then there's this one here, another Verve Elite Edition CD (from 1999, OOP): I think this was the first of the "Modern Jazz Society presents..." albums. Lots of good stuff, J.J., Getz, Aaron Sachs, Tony Scott, Lucky Thompson... not a large band/orchestra this time, but just as fascinating music, in my opinion. ubu

Picked this one used yesterday, had a quick listen, like it, will return. Nice music, some of it with a ZA touch, some rather European. John Tchicai is in the band. ubu

Maybe there's more than short snippets here? Can't open those as I have no real player at work: http://www.ubu.com/sound/schwitters.html

Introduction & Rondo Largo Scherzo - Trio - Scherzo Presto - Denouement - Cadenza - Finale Have fun! Me likey!

Not sure it's "off the beaten path" - Dizzy made so many recordings in varying settings, however, it's a great disc! Certainly one of my favourite of Dizzy's - he's soaring, and the writing by J.J. is something else. Which is the album of Waldron tunes, Nate? ubu

What's the problem with that one? It's been a long time I had that in the CD player, but I don't remember noticing anything... they reversed the original side A and B on the disk. The booklet is correct wrt the tracks as they were on the original album, but the disk is not. It runs titles 4 to 6, then 1 to 3, and finishes with 7. Thanks!
