Well, I guess it actually means:

What would you call the music of Chadbourne? Avant-bluegrass-jazz-folk? I like it, but I guess I need a break after the first one. His jazz covers (Monk's Mood, Tenor Madness etc) are great! I like the folksy feel, even more as you know there is something more beneath or behind it, hidden in the background... ubu

"Songs"

The three ladies are through now, and I'll continue with two more Intakt discs I took with me from the radio station: "Strings" and "Songs" by Euguene Chadbourne, both recorded on the same two dates. Never heard him, and thus I thought I'd take the two discs with me. Cover below ("Strings") (sorry, too lazy to look for larger ones...)

Looking forward, thanks! ubu

Listening to Sylvie Courvoisier/Joelle Leandre/Susie Ibarra: Passaggio (Intakt 076). Pretty fine stuff! Pretty much on the abstract side. Will need a few listens to get acquainted... The liner notes in english: A nice photo from the booklet: And below the cover

Nate, I found the Lüscher/Su duo disc "Smada" (Altrisuoni) in the library! I'll report here when I listened to it! ubu

There's always the easy solution: forget both, go for red wine, instead... ubu B)

Oh, yes! Forgot about those two!

Before you spend the money on that one, be aware that the Deluxe editions that came out after the box (Ballads, Coltrane, Love Supreme) have additional material that's not in the box. Also, you won't get the few live items (half of the At Birdland album, the Newport '63 album, and that track that is available on Quartet Plays..Chim Chim Cheeree etc). Nevertheless, that set is one of my favourites. A few others, that I consider to be non-Mosaics: all of the great Miles Davis boxes, of course! Love each and every of them! ubu

That's some goodies! All high on my list, too! Then add: Coltrane, Heavyweight Champion AEC Cecil Taylor, 2 Ts for A Lovely T Monk, Riverside Bill Evans, Riverside Sonny Rollins, Prestige & RCA Mingus, Atlantic Ornette, Atlantic ... Don't think I rate the Mosaics much higher as the others, in general. However, it's the only company with such a big number of generally great sets! ubu

Glad to see you came to your senses, King Ubu! That Jass CD indeed had a couple of items which were not in the Prez Box. No need for you to come here on your knees. There must be better ways to travel to the City of Light! And when you come, a glass of Cognac - one of Prez's prefered drinks - will be shared between the two of us to honor our beloved President! The only President worthy of our unanimous votes. Prosit I won't forget about the Cognac! Well, on Sunday (August 1), Switzerland celebrates national day... I'll may see "Le charme dicret de la bourgeoisie" to celebrate, or I may listen to Prez, endlessly... ubu -_-

Well, I guess the royal poster will wear sackcloth and ashes for some time, and he might even go to Paris on his knees to apologize to brownie... To make it short, I checked not with the disc, but with my Lester data stuff, and it seems there's no additional material on the Storyville disc, nothing that's not part of that Japanese set. (I think I mixed it up with an -unrelated- Jass disc, "Prez Conferences", which seems to include some items not on the Japanese set, but don't nail me on that now, please!) ubu

I am not DEEP, man, careful!

One of my favourite Shaw recordings! ubu

Give me a few days... big reorganizing being done here, not only as far as CDs are concerned... bug me about it on the weekend, please, and I'll check - hope I didn't say anything wrong, brownie (on the other hand, that would spare you a few eurozlotys...)! ubu

Well, don't anyone call me lazy... I just checked the Miles Trees Website, and saw that except for items 1) and 2) of the list above, all has been part of a '67 Europe tree. Anyone willing to share? ubu

Has this music been part of a tree? Or has it come out on bootleg cds? Heard nothing of that band live (well, except for the Plugged Nickel, but that's pretty early in the game). ubu

Sounds cool, brownie! Just dropped a mail

For me, there's none I never visit, but I hardly ever post in the adio or the musician's corner. Seldom in politics, but it does happen... ubu

I can't compare the music on this 2CD set with the later and more famous Criss dates, as I haven't explored them yet, but I'd definitely get it! Lots of beautiful music! And there's a few very nice guest spots by the late Barney Kessel, too. ubu

Maybe because they aren't easy to find? Love them, too! Just in case someone looks for this one: It can still be found on Amazon France. This was my very first Wilen disc, after I'd heard him on the "Ascenseur pour l'echafaud" soundtrack, and I still like it a lot! ubu

Well, that's what it's all about: passing time... B)

Thanks for sharing, Lon! ubu
