Thanks for that link, Bentsy! Some fantastic photos! ubu

I guess Carla taught Paul everything she knew. Paul taught Steve everything Carla new, and Steve taught Carla everything Paul knew... must have been this way or similar Thanks for sharing, John! Hilarious!

I wish you all the best of luck! Can't do much more than that, I'm afraid - hope you don't get hit too hard. ubu

S here.

Quite. Dutch timing? You certainly could produce the most exact cuckoo clocks! ubu

Yup, those tracks for me are among (if not the) highlights of that set!

That's one of my favourite Jazz in Paris discs! It features Sacha Distel on guitar. ubu

Except for the Clarinettes.... I have all of these. All recommended, except maybe the Prez. I'd only recommend this one to people already familiar with earlier and later recordings of his. It's a pretty tough one. Not that I'd want to miss it, but then it can really be hard to listen to. ubu

Two of my favourites:

"I" - although he was Dollar Brand for me too, when I got to know him.

Haven't yet really started exploring his work. The only things I own are "Black Orchid" and that other partially live disc, with additional tracks, and Harris on organ, can't remember teh title. If there was more available on Blue NOte, I might go for it... Happy birthday! ubu

It seems to be OOP already, so you better look for it fast! Here's a link to the Sketch homepage: http://www.sketch-studio.com/sketch-jazz/01hum.html ubu

Now this is one of the most amusing threads I've seen on this board! Can't offer any help, as these dreaded formulas never stuck to my head (had a programmable calculator for such stuf...)

A very kind person on this board presented me this great 3CD set: An great one! The Humair-Urtreger-Michelot set in three recordings, the first a live one from 1961 (?), the second late seventies (?) and the third a new one done for this release. Great booklet and all, a magnificient one! ubu

So I guess poor kings will have to get that centennial thing... thanks, EKE!

How come you know that? My Taylor CDs are in a mess (packed up in bags, partly, without any order, and several layers of CDs... I'll do my best!) ubu

Great story, D.D.! Thanks for sharing. I guess that would be a session to have with alternates and false starts and farts and sirens included... couw: I am not sure about Kirk in Freeman, didn't hear it, so far. I'll listen to "The Improvisor" over the weekend, and will listen for it. The only other Vonski disc I have is the "Tenors" with Lateef. Sometimes there I find it pretty hard to tell them apart. Both got that full-bodied sound, loose phrasing etc. Love it! ubu PS: on these "Tenors" discs: haven't heard the Ford, but couldn't warm to the Shepp.

Tell me - I still owe you some, anyway!

Jim, here's the link to Amazon, forgot it in my post above: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...=glance&s=books Just in case you really want to go deep... ubu

another for the Haynes! Really like it. Can't comment on the "Directions", as I don't have it, but I'm a bit sceptical about such programme albums... of course the Haynes falls in that bag, as well, but as I know that already, there's no need to be sceptical about it ... ubu

Thanks, it's on "the list"... (as are many of those Verve LPRs, too many) This is turning into a very expensive discussion we are having here!

I've never heard the Mosaic but those other ones (Free Fall and the 1961 set) are the only discs by him I have heard, and I enjoy all of them. I was lucky enough to find those at the local library back before I moved. Get the recent The Easy Way Verve reissue. It's from pre-Free Fall era (in a trio with Jim Hall and Ray Brown), so it is quite different, but very charming, clever and quetely experimental (but much less so than the Free Fall trio, of course). It should be available cheap everywhere. Thanks, it's on "the list"... (as are many of those Verve LPRs, too many) Sounds like the Atlantic trios - though the later Atlantics, with Giuffre/Brookmeyer/Hall are something else again, replacing bass with a second horn was quite an idea! Quietly innovative, that's what Giuffre was, yes. Also his playing and that folksy vibe he had was sort of like a "poor man's" Horace Silver, or rather: a countryside version of the "folksy" (or rather "bluesy" and "urban") hard bop music happening at the same time. I don't know the Sanders ESP, by the way. Have some Impulses, but don't really know them too well, would have to listen to them all to post any impressions. ubu

I've never heard the Mosaic but those other ones (Free Fall and the 1961 set) are the only discs by him I have heard, and I enjoy all of them. I was lucky enough to find those at the local library back before I moved. Ok, so you should like the Paris disc! The first (1960) concert has the original trio's Jim Hall on guitar, Giuffre on tenor/baritone/clarinet, and Wilford (Wilfred?) Middlebrooks on bass. They play music that is quite similar to what you could hear if you had the Mosaic. Several of the Atlantic albums have been reissued, separately, but they might be a bit too nice'n'easy if you like the Bley/Swallow trio. The second part then should be a nice addition to the Giuffre/Bley/Swallow trio discs. As I said above, I think it's quite different, but not less fascinating. ubu
