The last one was reissued on Hat, that's the one with Dickey. ubu

Is history?

Is life cyclic?

You talkin' with me, sir? Should I edit, too? Did you?

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

Ceci n'est pas un dentiste... ubu

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

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

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

WTG? ubu

Ericka is definitively one of the highlights! A great performance! ubu

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

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

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

(taken from link above) Is this true? If so, count me among "most people"... ubu

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

Actually they wanted to save #666 for your first Mosaic set, but then they sent that to me ubu

Me, Myself And I (Mingus)

5000 CDs @ $10 = $50,000 25 years old? Do you have your own home too. I started early, you know! And then I saved every penny for buying CDs, went to work on holidays, bought a sax, another sax, a hifi set, and when I had everything, I started on CDs... you won't blame me, willya? You're not my dad, either (unless... one never actually knows ) ubu

I read this thread when it started, but did not post anything in reply, now with the other thread, I'm most disturbed. This is very sad news. Elvin might very well be my favourite drummer ever. I never saw him live, and it does not seem I will. The last thing I heard of him was a broadcast in 2001 - he was in top form. I will remember him like that, and think of him. impossible: thanks a lot for posting that picture of you and Elvin! ubu

Time Out Out To Lunch

Ear And Nose Control, anyone?

I didn't know that! That recording of Gourley & Wilen, "Double Action", is a great one. Combelle plays drums, there. ubu
