Had a listen to Oliver Lake's "Again And Again" (Grammavision, rec. 1991). It's an all ballads disc (all composed by Lake), with John Hicks, Reggie Workman, and Pheeroan ak Laff. Pretty good, in my opinion. Not a disc to get enthusiastic about all of a sudden, I guess, but I think one that could slowly grow. Now back again to Ellington Uptown - fantastic! Last night (and this morning) spun the Masterpieces CD, and hey, this is GREAT music! ubu

Where did you order it? You think you won't need to pay any custom or tax shitte? CD Universe. If you mark it as "gift" the tax is calculated from the lower base. Total tax should not be morwe than 10-15 Sfr. Tell me once you get it, please! It's a bit steep anyway for my current financial situation...

1:25 p.m. - who's STILL awake and who's ALREADY (!!! HEY FOLKS, IT'S SATURDAY!!!) awake? ubu B-)

not for me, had the old US OJC for a long time, and took note of that, as well as Percy Heath's goof on "Blue Monk" without having to update... Amazon, funny enough, only has this one and the 20K with image... ubu

Sure, please do! (I don't read JC)

Am I jealous or what? Hey, can anyone give the line up of the bands on all those downloads? I see Candy and Maceo, but have no idea who's in the current band (my favorite line up until recently was the one with Sonny T and Michael B etc... that could change, once I get to know these shows better!) thanks, ubu

best tuned studio piano ever found on this recording: ubu B-)

Oh yes!

This one's fantastic! might not be the ovious starting point if you come to Waits via jazz, but it's a great great album!

I don't have this one, from other 3-4 Bergman CDs I've heard, I've found his playing to be consistently boring. Yup - I never heard him, so I can't really say ANYthing about him. Other opinions? Got the new Björk disc, sounds interesting. Will listen over the weekend. ubu I had this & gave it away to a friend. Besides the fact that I don't much like Bergman's playing, the sound quality is pretty drab. Thanks, I'll definitely let that one pass! David, I'll tell you how I'll like the Björk - it got mixed reviews in all the swiss and german daily & weekly papers I read (four or five), but the things they did criticise made me want to get the disc all the more!

what 10$ haircut? I didn't know the US are part of the third world, haircut-prize-wise! No way a barber would even touch your hair for 10 bucks! Absolute minimum, but far less than average, would be around 35$ here! No tips needed, at those prizes, of course...

This one worth picking up (cheap used copy)? thanks, ubu

Finally made it through some more discs of the Chambers/Kelly: "Kelly Great!" is just that! WOW! Shorter is terrific! What a great recording debut this is, wow! Morgan is good, as well, as are all the others, and Philly Joe was so hip! The "Fantastic Frank Strozier" sessions are a delight, as well. Booker Little rates high among my favourite trumpet players, and he delivers some good and great solos on these two dates. Strozier himself is a very good alto player, as well, with a very nice sound of his own. Never heard this one before (always kept my fingers away from the single reissue waiting until I have this box), and it really is great! ubu

Listening to discs 3 & 4 of the Kelly/Chambers Mosaic - wonderful WONDERFUL music! Little smokes! Me like the acidic sound of Frank Strozier a lot (have his other Veejay on a Koch reissue, as well as the 2002 Fantasy twofer, and a disc with Roy Haynes...). Morgan and particularly Shorter make impressive contributions to "Kelly Great" which starts of disc 3. Shorter is really onto something else, on this his debut recording! Marvellous recording, as well! Had a listen to some funny and great eastern European music this morning, as well, among the discs an Amiga album by Joe Sachse and Hannes Zerbe, one by the Polish "edition" of the Jazz Crusaders, the "Jazz Carriers", and the Jazz Jamboree 1961 album (with tunes by Ianci Körössy, Bernt Rosengren, Ronnie Ross, and Jimmy Gourley, sidemen including Krzystof Komeda). THanks to our man in the cold... ubu

Swiss history student, ardent admirer of dada, surrealism, Duchamp etc, thus logically of Alfred Jarry, as well, there comes my handle... then a self-declared jazz addict (ask my girlfriend, she'd say my declaration is spot-on - and no, she doesn't like it...) now back to some serious funky stuff B-) you forgot to mention '& generous to a tee' just spreadin' the goodies, that's all - sort of a philosophy of life... ubu

Welcome, Peter! Got to share the goodies, no?

I decided against ordering - they want too much for shipping. Ordering three discs it would be possible I had to pay as much as 20$ for customs, I'm afraid... ubu

Thanks. "O'Neal's Porch" has been recommended by many around here, but I remembered D.D. not liking it too much, and I am afraid I know his tastes a bit by now and might end up just like him with this disc...

Nate, it's been quite some time since I hear the disc.... Any other opinions on the Parkers? Well, I do a search first. ubu
