king ubu

indeed! Check him on the beautiful "The Cats" with John Coltrane, Tommy Flanagan, Kenny Burrell, Doug Watkins and Louis Hayes. This was one of the first discs I got when I developped a taste for Coltrane (which was at the same time that I got into jazz). ubu

I'm just through listening to this for the first time. All I can say is that there are some great, great, moments and I'll do all I can to catch them whenever they play within reasonable travelling distance. This is as good as I was expecting from these 3 gents, 45 min's' worth of very fine music. Many thanks to king ubu for making this available to fellow fans as myself. Glad you like it Gokhan! I might not even have it recorded hadn't you advised me about how cool that trio is (and it IS!). I mailed out the cover to everyone just now - please drop me a line if it didn't work, or if I forgot someone on my mail! ubu

Couw turned me on to this recording a little while back. It is most defintely a cd we should all have. You know, we've all had that one for a loooong time - you were the last to notice!

That's about what I would need, could I afford... I have all my CDs in jewel cases, but it's quite a mess these days, too, and getting worse with each acquisition...

Finishing Primo Levi's "Si questo e un uomo", then maybe Semprun's "Le grand voyage" (both in german), or rather Kertesz' "Roman eines Schicksallosen". After that probably Giorgio Agamben's book on what rests of "Auschwitz". At the same time on and off: Bela Balasz' "Ein Baedeker der Seele und andere Feuilletons", also (still) some Joseph Roth, Siegfried Kracauer etc. ubu

Thanks, P.L.M.! Lots of names. I have the 3CD HUM set, as well as lots of discs with Michelot. HUM is fantastic! From the others, I have heard some names, but Jenny-Clark is the only one I have on record (with the great Kühn-Humair-J.-C. trio, "Triple Entente"). I'll have to check some of them out! ubu

huh, what was that? sounds cool! please give some info! ubu Majesty, none of your business Ubu, I traded discs with Brad to get the Barney Wilen 'Passione' Venus CD - with Enrico Rava - and a Herb Geller VSOP date. They're no longer on the list since I am enjoying those two now. Thanks for the info, brownie. I thought you were talking of a disc featuring both Wilen and Geller, hence my astonishment and interest. (I have "Pasione" and it's very very godd!). ubu

huh, what was that? sounds cool! please give some info! ubu

Agus, you got my address, I'm in! Two discs of course! Looking forward to hearing what you chose for us! ubu (free tunes! )

my only Metheny so far, except for the one with Ornette. (his group never really grabbed me, I'm afraid) ubu

I guess you're right... I was only dreaming aloud

"YOWSAH, YOWSAH, YOWSAH", "MY FEET KEEP DANCING" Thanks for announcing this, Jim! ubu

I was told by Mosaic that their license for these Vee Jay sets was with Rhino, who had a deal with the holders of the Vee Jay masters. Apparently, this agreement between Rhino & Vee Jay was suddenly terminated. Since Mosaic's deal was with Rhino and Rhino no longer had the rights, Mosaic had to stop selling the sets. Later, Kevin That just plain sucks. Sucks big time! Money is what kills so much! The only jazz store here will be closed down end of the week, the big ones almost annihilating their jazz sections... Jazz just doesn't sell enough... and those just doing it for the love of it don't seem to succeed, really. ubu

Listened to a very fastinating piano solo disc over the weekend: Sergey Kuryokhin, "Some Combinations of Fingers and Passion" It's a pretty un-pianistic piano disc, I guess. Very strange and fascinating techniques used. I think Kuryokhin has also composed "serious" music (whatever that really is, don't pin me down on this!), and this can easily be heard. The music he plays (mostly the first, almost half-hour long tune), often has a cinematic quality. Often reminded me of piano players accompanying silent movies (there are a few good ones playing in Zurich, occasionally). Thoroughly fascinating. I shall explore it further and listen to it some more! The other disc I listened to on sunday was: I think it's pretty fascinating music. Quiet, almost a bit meditative at points. The mix of electronics with Gebbia and Wogram works quite organically. Also, Gebbia and Wogram are two fascinating instrumentalists. It's not one to shine from the start, but one that has to grow, I think. I shall definitively listen to it again. (I got it from the libary, by the way). ubu

I'm a huge fan of "Work" - there he sounds pretty much like he sounded when I heard him live last november (so glad I went there, my first, and sadly turns out my last, chance to see him). "Morning Joy" is very good, too. I would rather avoid "Straight Horn" for starters, it's not the best one (though it's certainly not bad). If you like to hear some solo Lacy, check out the hatOLOGY "Clinkers". It's my only Lacy solo disc so far (I've heard others, more out ones, but this is the only one I actually own). For a few more recommendations, do a search, there has been some discussion some time ago. ubu

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?
