Me too. CRIPES UBU! Get with the program, would you! B) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks Hans for the information on the Brotz Hat release. ubu, you'd better standardize on 40 posts per page... don't test the limits of our tolerance -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All those american and russian imperialists! Holy shit! We small european countries got to stand together! (As the swiss do with the EU ) ubu

A very good one!

Yeah! Erdinger & Schneider Weissbier! And don't forget the slice of lemon!

Me too. CRIPES UBU! Get with the program, would you! B) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks Hans for the information on the Brotz Hat release. Did everybody except me adjust their board-settings? I'd be much too lazy for that - I stick with it: page 100! ubu

You might try a search for Gianni Gebbia - I'm much too lazy right now... "Arcana Major" is a solo alto sax disc, that absolutely blew me away! A truly masterful work of a young musician with (hopefully) a great future ahead. I am not sure that it can still be obtained.

Thanks, Chuck & brownie! Renewed interested here, as my radio programme about Cecil continues next sunday, and as I just found In East-Berlin used and dirt cheap in formidable condition. So "Legba Crossing" is the one to hunt! ubu

Hey, page 100 of the funny rat!! That has got to be celebrated! Great that some interest in this kind of discussion about this kind of marginalized music is around And thanks eternally to David for making me hear "Arcana major"! "Arcana Major" is da shit! ubu

This is widely stated to be the case. I wasn't here at the time and was unaware of it. I think you can assume this is accurate. Thanks, David I wondered since the day I got the set if this music was maybe taken from gigs that were spread over a long period (sort of choosing the crop), or if it was just a few nights' work - glad to hear the later is the case! Even more stunning! (Yet I still haven't made it through the whole set) ubu

I've heard that, too... I do enjoy spinning some understated piano trio stuff when people are over who think that's muzak - they might think you're pretty strange when they notice you're really ALL EARS and LISTENING to someone like Bill Evans... ubu

Posted this just now in the Cecil Taylor thread: This site mentions the 10CD "Two Ts For A Lovely T" Codanza box being recorded from August 27 to September 1, 1990 - this would make perfect sense, five nights, two sets per night. Does anyone know if this is accurate? The box just says "Recorded in London in 1990". Maybe someone here knows more? ubu

Lazaro, I have only just now realized that my post above could be read as me implying you took your ideas from Jost - I was far from wanting to say that! Why I'm actually posting here again is: This site mentions the 10CD "Two Ts For A Lovely T" Codanza box being recorded from August 27 to September 1, 1990 - this would make perfect sense, five nights, two sets per night. Does anyone know if this is accurate? The box just says "Recorded in London in 1990". And another question: the Berlin 88 stuff: I think there was some part not released on a single disc, but only in the box, right? The single releases are: "Riobec", "In East Berlin", "Regalia", "The Hearth", "Alms/Tiergarten (Spree)", "Remembrance", "Pleistozaen Mit Wasser", "Spots, Circles, And Fantasy", "Legba Crossing", "Erzulie Maketh Scent", and "Leaf Palm Hand". Is this list complete and correct? And what does the not separately released recording contain? ubu

I ALWAYS LISTEN TO AYLER OR CECIL IF I FEEL LIKE MUZAK, OR "ASCENSION" - THAT'S VERY EXTREMELY RELAXING AND FUCKING PLEASING, YOU KNOW? SECRETARIES *MUST* LOVE THIS! AND THEN THROW IN SOME "LAST EXIT" AND BROTZMANN AND SOME GDR FREE JAZZ AND RELAX WITH THE SECRETARIES...

Thanks, EKE and deus!

Barre Phillips is not too bad a bassist either . Guy and Phillips have a duo record, don't they? - Anybody knows it by chance? a bass-fetishist's dream?

Volkher, would you mind having a link to the Basie project board here? And could someone in the meantime PM me the link? I'd like to have access to that site without having my notebook at hand (as is the case right now). thanks, ubu

Good news - Schiano is a wonderful musician (ubu, you can hear him on the Italian Instabile Festival double CD)! And bravo to Atavistic for digginig up this really obscure stuff. Thanks, I know! Also, I have a very nice LP by Sam Rivers, called "Rendez-vous", where he actually "meets" Schiano. The others are Dave Holland and Barry Altschul, the usual suspects... ubu

That's cool, John! The man with the half-bald head ougth to be Marshall Royal, lead-alto man of all the great Roulette-dates (thanks again, François!) ubu

I posted about this in the "funny rat" - one of these moments, HELLYEAH! Also, when I first heard the 2CD "Nefertiti" set - which was fairly recently, too. ubu

That's one of those moments for me, too! An absolutely unbelievable solo! And next to the virtuoso players Dolphy and Hubbard, it's all the better! ubu

A very good one, indeed! ubu

I think I was that young once, but I can't remember. huh? That's what I meant! Matthew, I mis-read your post, but once I realized what you wanted to say, it was too late to delete, sorry! ubu (youngest ever emperor of outer poland)

glad you got it! ubu

This is terrific news! Thanks for sharing, Rooster, and thanks for insisting (maybe you DID have some influence, only God knows, if he then exists...) ubu

good luck and lots of fun! ubu
