Found some more information here: I guess brownie, you looked on this website. (I only found out about the other one fairly recently myself.) I wish someone would collect all these october 62 CT dates, clean them up and release some nice little box - how about we all write some mails to Jan Ström about it? ubu

It's very good but the audio is way off! Never heard of this one, thanks! Sounds cool - no matter what the audio on such stuff! I'd love to hear it! ubu

And don't forget the sides with Stan Getz!

It's great to know Haynes is still around! I have three of his own records, and they're all very good, in my opinion: "Out Of The Afternoon", "Cymbalism" (with Frank Strozier, Ronnie Mathews and Larry Ridley), and his relatively recent Verve trio disc with John Patitucci and Danilo Perez. That one's very good, too, in my opinion, with Haynes being pretty important to the sound and style of the trio, without though being in the foreground all the time. Haynes is about style, I think. He never was one of those obviously displaying their virtuosity. Yet his playing is very individualistic, he's got his own sound. Some sideman highlights have been mentioned, something else that should be checked out are the few studio and live dates with Coltrane, Haynes subbing for Elvin ("Dear Old Stockholm" and "Newport '63") - this was discussed before here or somewhere else, Haynes makes a big difference to the way the quartet sounds. And it's in no way less compelling than with Elvin, no sir! And I love those Monk dates, brownie! I think those were the albums that made me realize of what calibre Haynes is! He is also on the BN disc with that Monk/Coltrane date. I think that saying of Max being the good, Elvin and bad, and Haynes the mean one sums it up pretty well. ubu

Can you (or someone else) give more info on that one? thanks, ubu

deus? That you? Happy pre-order Birthday then! I'm not late after all! Gotcha! That's why I wrote your name wrong in the first place ubu

another many happy returns! ubu

I think we discussed that alread, but with Avenel, Chevillon and Texier, there's some great french bass players around lately, with that great sound, too. Others? ubu

... and many happy returns! ubu

You're right. Uh, now I have forgotten what I actually wanted to substance-wise add to this thread Maybe it was something about Freddie Hubbard?

No problem at all, 'cause those who do not know will not get it, and those who know will post Well, I don't know him (I swear!), but hell, don't I have to something for my post count?

This one didn't really grab me - sounded more like some sort of a "concept" record... but quite a..hmmm...underdeveloped and disrupted one. Solos seemed rather abrasive also. I like it better with each new listen, it seems. It might be a bit erratic, a bit gruff, a bit under-rehearsed and under-inspired, yet there's something about it that I start to like better and better.

I believe the Jacquet set also had other labels' logos on at least one of the discs. Right! The stuff on disc four was from RCA and I also remember there being some special logo kind of thing on that disc (as opposed to just the usual "Sony Special Products" or whoever being mentioned).

Good call! Love his octet album (Mode/V.S.O.P.)! ubu

Listened to "Clinkers" today - first listen, one of the hatOLOGIES waiting to get acquainted with my ears... very very good! And beautiful, even in its abstract passages. Then "Trickles", a Lacy-Rudd-Carter-Harris date on Soulnote. Very good, too. More on the playful and funny side, full of allusions to older jazz (not only by Rudd and his sound, but also by Lacy himself). Very groovy stuff, too, though in a rather wierd and somewhat distorted way. Now half-through "Morning Joy" (a sencond first, got that burned from some kind soul recently) - wow! I don't think Potts is a drag at all. I like this pensive way of "constructing" solos (dig Oliver Nelson doing it on one track of his "Blues And The Abstract Truth" right after an awesome and eruptive Dolphy solo - Nelson far out wins!). For my ears, Potts creates a very good counterpoint soundwise, fuller, fruitier, whatever, against the cool and somewhat distanced (yet always fully there) Lacy. Avenel is quite a bassist, too! A week or two ago I listened to "The Window" which is the same group, some months later, minus Potts - very good, too! ubu

In my case it didn't go to sleep, I went to Seattle. Sleeping is not healthy anyway, is it? I see it's 3:21 am here and me and D.D. still here Well, that's normal thing for weekend, isn't it? Will be listening to Lacy these days (starting with phenomenal Morning Joy on hatOLOGY). Well, the only problem is I will be up tomorrow at half past 8... that's why I'm off to bed now, even if it's not healthy... Will spin "Morning Joy" tomorrow, too. ubu

Thad Jones! I know he is pretty well known, but: he is known as a composer, bandleader, arranger, whatever, but he was one HELLUVA trumpet player! His Blue Note dates are too early to fit into this thread, but his occasional solo with the Jones-Lewis band is enough to secure him an almost-giant status, in my opinion! Monster chops, and even more taste. ubu

Yeah alright - you know by now that I'm lazy (Was far away from my collection when I posted, but wanted to get the word out, anyway). Jim, that Friedman sounds VERY VERY good! Also more Zoller is always a good thing. ubu

"YOWSAH, YOWSAH, YOWSAH", "MY FEET KEEP DANCING" I wish there was more of this music around! ubu

And everybody who wrote me regarding the Brötzmarksson - mailed today. Hope I didn't forget anybody. Please do post your impressions here, once you have the disc! And drop me your email address, so I can send you my self-made cover. ubu

Hey wazzup? Funny rat gone asleep? I guess you have all now read the very very sad news of Steve Lacy's death. Let's all listen to some of his music this weekend. I might spin some of his duos with Waldron, "Five Facings", and probably add the "Straight Horn", too, as well as the terrific disc "Work" (it has been mentioned here, several times). ubu

This is so very very sad. I only started getting to know his music. So glad I went to see his (stellar!) solo concert here in Zurich end of november 2003. Here are two photos taken on that occasion: Rest in Peace. ubu

Interesting! I guess I should check out both of these discs. Fol is a great player, too! ubu

While I don't have either of these - brownie, is this Nico Buninck the same Nico "Bunink" that appears on some of the larger group tracks of Mingus' Candid dates? Didn't know he was european! Don't know anything about him, in fact. ubu
