John, this seems to be one of Hawk's best fifties albums - it features Idrees Sulieman and J.J. Check out the Hawkins thread in the artists section, but first get Ellington/Hawkins on Impulse! ubu

I think you should get Body and Soul, it is THE classic Hawk recording! (By the way, it celebrates its 65th birthday on October 11) Anyone with even the remotest interest in jazz tenor saxophone should have it, it's a milestone. Hans, is this disc good enough to get, even if might go the Chronological Classics way some day?

caught up with the spirit, yes? It's all good-natured, of course! ubu

Well, I don't have the one with Body & Soul - as I never started checking out pre-44 Hawkins, except for the Hawk/Berry disc (which is great). The Keynote is an essential set, but it has been OOP for some time, I think, thus I didn't mention it. Grab it when you see it, and don't be afraid to use some $$ on it! ubu

Now this stretches the funny rat concept quite a bit, but any of you that are getting into Hawk, get the Delmark disc "Rainbow Mist"! Some of his best playing there! This here is another terrific disc: Hawkins: Hollywood Stampede (Capitol/EMI) It's OOP. Three dates with Howard McGhee, one with Miles. This CD here repeates the three Maggie dates, but instead of the Miles date (which was done for Aladdin, not for Capitol, as the three Maggie ones), has some other tracks, as well as the solo that was on the latest (EKE BBB) blindfold test: Hawkins: The Hollywood Sessions (Ocium) (I don't have it, btw) ubu

What if we start a third thread about this thread, which is about that other thread? A sort of meta-meta-thread? Uh, leave me alone with this intellectual garbage! king ubu, ph.d. in pataphysics

Hey, I almost posted that one, too - seems we're all in the same taliban-fan-club... ubu

Here's remedy

I guess my name might indeed be unique - not many folks who've got names in that language (and even less, I think, who are able to speak it - I am not). But then not many links - one to some Blue Note review I posted, one to Mike Fitzgeralds sites, and some University crap. But then I'm still young... And no photo, of course. And that phone number thing does not work - glad about that! ubu

HOLY CRAP!

Just in case someone here is looking for the either OOP or soon to go OOP hatOLOGY "Dissonant Characters", a great duo album by Ellery Eskelin and Han Bennink, there's a copy available on jazzmatazz, and for a nice price, too! ubu

Check this one out: A very good one, with Richie Kamuca, Vince Guaraldi, Monty Budwig and Stan Levey. (link) Thanks for posting the Lees text, Barak! I shall read it tonight. ubu

Hold a mirror up to that thought. Exactly. Actually not! If we talk about influences, yes, of course, but if we talk about "hearing" someone in someone - you can hear Brötz in Hawk looking at it (or rather: listening to it) now, with the benefit of knowing Brötz and all the post-Hawk saxophone history. ubu

David, consider this one, too: A GREAT album! Not to buy on Amazon France, though - they want 21 Euros for that one - I guess it would be best to check for this on some US sources. ubu

You're correct, of course. But then this was our way to do it - as not too many people seemed to be willing to start those threads that Chuck mentions (and dozens of others, of course). Then it just turned out we'd stick to it and it grew like mad - others jumped in and out, and as others have said already, are always welcome.

Got Twins (for €7 or so at Amazon.fr). It is indeed a typical red-black Atlantic Masters digipak reissue made in Germany. The sound is actually quite good - much better than Atlantic Master reissue of Free Jazz, for example. The music is phenomenal. The other one I got is this one: Great stuff! Pretty adventurous playing from everybody. Say what you will, but I hear a lot of Brötzmann in Hawkins' playing. As Chuck said. Listening to Brötz on the recently bought "Three points and a mountain...plus" (FMP, trio with Mengelberg & Bennink), that seems to be very much the case - loads of Hawk in there! Listen to Sonny apeing Hawk on some track (can't remember, don't have my RCA box at hand) is great! And it seems on a few tracks that Hawk, in this surroundings, outgrows himself (if that is possible - or let me say: stylistically transcends his own horizon), while Rollins of (mocking on the surface, but probably deep serious) respect plays all the Hawk he knows (which is tons of, of course). ubu

And hey, someone should rename this thread into "funny rat (recommended)" or anything similar...

Uh, how many volumes of Vintage Duet have been released so far? With which one should I begin my trip?

now who's smelly there, if not our resident cow? don't you dare! you will be banned from our rat asilum! (And I guess sort of an asylum it was when it started, but I think it's great that so many people did jump in at one point or another!) EVERYONE IS WELCOME, INDEED! (except our cow or course ) ubu

Otto? ubu

Both are great, yes! And don't forget "Water Babies" - if you go the box-set way, get the Quintet 65-68 box as well as the "In A Silent Way" box - half of "Filles" and "Water Babies" is in the first, half in the second one. ubu

start reading catesta. there's some way cool stuff hidden in the deep layers. Any junk food or porn to be found? Depends on how you define junk food or porn
