  1. Thanks, Gary. I think he does A-Train and maybe also C-Jam on that broadcast I have, too. How about his solo playing? ubu
  2. Autumn leaves will never be the same again. Gary, is "Summertime" on the CD? I have that one broadcast where they play four tunes only, "Summertime" among them. ubu
  3. Well, so let's hope he is and will be among us for some more time! ubu
  4. I did not choose my avatar - my avatar chose me. ubu
  5. So: 1. The music is the man 2. The man never communicates follows: the music does not communicate. q.e.d. ubu
  6. The last one was reissued on Hat, that's the one with Dickey. ubu
  7. Is history?
  8. Is life cyclic?
  9. You talkin' with me, sir? Should I edit, too? Did you?
  10. I have only heard that band live, and the disc is OOP and pretty difficult to find, it seems (I don't have it), but I tend to agree - it would be a good introduction to his earlier work, I think. Btw, sometimes it was not Ibarra on drums but someone called Walt Dickey (an album of this trio was reissued on HatOLOGY, I have it but did not yet listen to it). I find the duo with Mat Maneri, "Gravitational Systems", rather good, too, though I'd check out some trio stuff first. ubu
  11. Ceci n'est pas un dentiste... ubu
  12. I had first listen to the Heads Up CD last night - and I do like it! I think it has to grow onto me - I have to get used first to some of the more generic, and quite contemporary-sounding rhythm sections and sound mixes. Barney Rachabane is killer, though! I know him from a few tracks on the Kaz/Camden discs, not sure with or without Ibrahim. Otherwise, most of the musicians were unknown to me (some of them, though, were featured in those radio programmes I mentioned, some months ago, such as McCoy Mwrubata (sp?)). Thanks, however, very much, for making me buy this CD! I'll listen more, and I know I'll end up liking it a lot! ubu
  13. since you asked...i took the time to listen to the audio and video clips. personally, i think they're crap. the crooning on the "jazzed up" beatles tune is second-rate harry connick (which makes it third-rate sinatra). the other selections are uninteresting smooth jazz. definately not my cup o' tea. You're too kind ubu
  14. jazz1 or anybody: how does the Rossini studio (HatArt 6002) compare to the Rossini live (HatArt 6152)? I see they were recorded on consecutive days (they went in the studio two and three days, respectively, after the live performance on Hat 6152 took place. Also, the tracks are identical etc. Now, I do have the live one, and as I might order something relatively soon from Cadence, my question is: do I need the studio disc, too? How does it compare? Is the difference in the two records big enough to get them both? Btw, I had a first listen to the "Piano" disc - and, "arranger's piano" or not, it is beautiful! Thanks for making me pick it up! ubu
  15. WTG? ubu
  16. Ericka is definitively one of the highlights! A great performance! ubu
  17. Very sad news I'll spin that broadcast again - he was such a nice man, it seems! I'll have to transcribe what exactly he says before they play "It Don't Mean A Thing" on that broadcast of mine. Very sad! ubu
  18. Listening to the broadcast I mentioned - Elvin Jones Jazz Machine, Willisau 2001, with Delfayo Marsalis, Pat La Barbera, Eric Lewis and David Pulphus. It's quite good, altough very conventional. Marsalis can play, by the way! And La Barbera is good, too. Elvin jokes around announcing the encore, "It Don't Mean A Thing" - he even starts singing the last line of the A-part of the theme (dooo wa doo wa etc.) ubu
  19. Well, I didn't know that for a long time, but thanks to careful reading here at this very forum, I already knew that. (Just don't ask me for a link; I don't remember which thread...) What I want to know is, what is this clown doing with his vinyl that it less permanent than CDs? Teaching his dog to catch them? Thanks, Mark! Wow, I really wouldn't have thought so! ubu

    Oh.......Heck.......YEAH!!!! But the coolest moment of all is on Lyons' second solo, toward the end, Lyons' blowing like a mother, and Taylor starts to pound those low notes on the piano. Just waaaaaaaaaay coooooooooooooooool!!!! B) B) B) That's one of the grooviest moments in music, I think! Great indeed! ubu
  21. (taken from link above) Is this true? If so, count me among "most people"... ubu
  22. Huh? Tracklist of the Atlantic Original Sound reissue I have: 1. Roots (Kirk) - 4:09 2. Here Comes the Whistle Man (Kirk) - 4:53 3. I Wished on the Moon (Parker/Rainger) - 4:48 4. Making Love After Hours (Kirk) - 4:20 5. Yesterdays (Harbach/Kern) - 3:54 6. Aluminum Baby (Byard/Byard) - 4:41 7. Step Right Up (Kirk) - 4:41 You're really sure the Label M does not have the two bonus cuts? ubu (edited to correct link)

    That's good to know! Enjoy the Cecil! I had two consecutive listens today to "It Is In The Brewing Luminous" - very very impressed! And I think the Lyons solo on the first part is one of his very best! Awesome music, for sure. ubu
  24. Actually they wanted to save #666 for your first Mosaic set, but then they sent that to me ubu
