king ubu

Guess: am I glad I have one on my shelf already, or not? ubu B-)

you missed the party! and now they're all asleep! lazy bunch! (uh, well, they might be here again only a couple of hours after I hit the sack, so I better keep my mouth shut, now, but some of them, well, one of them, certainly has more hair...) ubu

Saw some of these in some large store. Pretty ridiculous combinations, indeed!

All JMTs are OOP, but hopefully they will all get eventually reissued on Winter & Winter (http://www.winterandwinter.com). Of later Solal I have Solal-Griffin duo on Dreyfus (I guess it's after 1995), and I find it very charming, if not exactly a masterpiece. Also Solal's solo in Jazz'n'emotion series is very good (recommended by you-know-who) - but this is probably before 1995. Solal is the man. Portal, I don't have too much hope for (having seen him live several times in the last 5 years). You'll get what P.L.M. thinks is Portal's masterpiece tomorrow or day after... Edit on JMT: it seems yes, W&W is reissuing ALL JMT releases.

According to Sunny Murray (not the most reliable source), Dolphy was supposed to join a little modern jazz combo for a tour in the end of '64. Not just some combo, but this one: Ayler Cherry Peacock Murray And Dolphy. That could be he-he, for sure. And most assuredly hi-de-ho. What a shame. Would we all believe that Jesus Christ has really lived, I could say now: "there's still hope!" and no, not ho-ho-pe in that case, but hope. however with you bunch of unfaithfuls!

And a rare occasion that has to be celebrated in a separate post: I do agree on Minneapolis! What a stupid record! I love the old school funk sound of Sonny T when with Prince (check "Exodus" under the name of the New Power Generation for a good example), but with Portal they (Sonny T and fellow Prince-sideman Michael B) just don't make much sense. I did only burn it, luckily. ubu

So beautiful that this sentimental king here is moved to tears I know only two later Solal discs, but one of them is Triangle, and it's indeed very very good! The other is that Mars 10... (on Soulnote). Then I have the three Vogue CDs collecting all his early Vogue recordings. Some very good music, there, too!

D O N ' T Y O U D A R E M Y F R I E N D ! ! ! (you won't be my friend anymore ) Before I make any further comment, let me work through my Dolphy collection again. I better would, buster! And make sure you listen to the WHOLE Five Spot stuff, and all the recordings with Booker Little, Mal Waldron, Ron Carter, and to "Out There" and the albums with Oliver Nelson, too! And then "Out To Lunch", and the live dates from Europe, 1964, and the GREAT stuff from the 1964 tour with Mingus, and the stuff with Coltrane (COmplete 1961 Village Vanguard, the Feb. 62 tracks from Birdland, "Olé Coltrane") - and then please tell us enthusiastically what a giant Dolphy was! And how sad we still are about this premature loss. ubu

Hey, we're young enough to have come to know this music with the Revenant edition, why would we know the LP was having less material? What again was an LP? Seriously, I quite like the Portal/Solal, and I'd be interested in your opinion, if you know it! ubu

D O N ' T Y O U D A R E M Y F R I E N D ! ! ! (you won't be my friend anymore )

Now now now, I don't like that "Go See the World" disc by Ware, and didn't feel his sitting in on one track of Beaver Harris' great "African Drums" was of any use for that album. Other than that, I have not heard anything by Ware yet (but remember, I like that lady-drummer he used to play with, remember? ). I will check the ones you mentioned some day (money is the problem, not my will). And as far as Pope is concerned, I have one of his saxophone choir discs (The Ponderer) and like it a lot. Other than that only some with Roach (To The Max). Not an expert, but what I have, I like.

THis has to be saved, he he!

Forgot to congratulate you for your groover status! Don't you want to do something worthwhile now for a change ( ) and make a few comments on this one? ubu

Hey, I never dissed Braxton, and I'm an openly declared fan of Rivers! ubu

What is sure, it's you're both up to this sentence this last few days. One who dislike DAVID S WARE and the other who trash RIVERS and, in the same sentence, CONFERENCE OF THE BIRDS, RIVERS AND BRAXTON!!! Go both buy you a life. Or a new pair of ear. Or both. Whatever. Heu... my friends. hey friend, get to like Odeon Pope first, and then we continue our little conversation ubu (I'm a royal one, by the way )

Couw hasn't been around since late last month. Must be vacation time. I hope he's ok... Couw's been posting now and then while on vacation, but right now he is roasting in the sun, somewhere... ubu

Now that P.L.M. is reading: I had another hearty laugh reading his post (in one of the links above) calling David and me pains in the ass!

he-he http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...&highlite=he-he ho-ho (or rather: o-ho-ho) http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...&highlite=ho-ho ubu (hehe )

Well, 7/4, I have to note that under the positive influence of Hans and myself you are making some improvements. Hi-de-ho is serious enough for me. I speak for myself only, of course - Hans might still find it a bit thoughtless and irrisponsible, but for me it's just fine. Good to hear there's some hope! ho-ho-pe?

he-he

Something I forgot, David, let me add it here: SACRILEGE!

Not at all your fault! I got a burn of that, since. ubu what do you think of this one? I have only listened to it one and quite like it. I have never heard Rivers in a duo setting before. Will I be forgiven here, if I admit that other than Blue Note works, I am not a perticular fan of Rivers (with some exceptions, like Don Pullen's excellent Capricon Rising in Black Saint)? Nope, never! Seriously? Really not a fan? Wow! I love the stuff he did in the Seventies, with Holland/Altschul or Holland/Barker. Then, there's Hollands "Conference of the Birds," in my humble opinion one of the best ECM albums ever. Also, there's the FMP solo disc, "Portrait," which is masterly! And then there's the Impulse trios... you can easily see that I AM a fan! ubu

Not at all your fault! I got a burn of that, since. ubu what do you think of this one? I have only listened to it one and quite like it. I have never heard Rivers in a duo setting before. Still have to give it a concentrated listen. I do quite a lot of work for that Count Basie website, and haven't had time to really listen music often, lately...

Listening to this one right now: Very very nice! Wilder's also on the Hank Jones Savoy album, "Bluebird," providing one of the highlights, in my opinion, of that album. How about Lew Soloff? ubu

Nice photo, Nate Should spend more time on the Bagatellen site, I always forget it's there, and I just don't have the time to read it all... Thanks for reminding me of it! How about the Lüscher/Su? Have you heard it in the meantime?
