Everybody who knows my tastes knows I'd love to grab this one - were it not for my dreaded buying freeze... I'm sure this is a great one, had it in my hands in stores several times. ubu

Now you see, there starts your barbaric illiteracy! Umm... I don't know what you mean. I'm a grammer. Someone who grams. I take great delight in gramming. There's no greater joy than gramming or being grammed. Ideally, I try to gram at least four times a day. (A frequency NOT recommended for the beginner!) OK! I was at work and in a hurry! I've never grammed in my life! My humiliation is complete. -_-

We (that is, my parents etc) used to have our own apples - hell, how do you say that - worked to "Süssmost". No bubbles, then. The one with bubbles can be alright, but often is quite unnatural, too, I feel. ubu

Hey that's tonight, not last night! And I'm having this one, anyway: (and hell, answer my PMs! ) ubu

Don't think soda is added. I would say it's natural fermentation. Just mentioning this sussmost has me longing for a taste! If I remember well, it originates in some parts of Dwitzerland only. If Ubu could take a break from his beerdrinking, he could shed some light on this important matter. Hey, last night I did not drink any red wine, ahm, beer - no alcoholic beverages at all - by the way, "Süssmost" is just the family version of what in the eastern/north-eastern parts of Switzerland (but who cares, Switzerland is so small) is called "Saft" (short for "Apfelsaft"), and "Saft" is not sweet, but alcoholic, and therefore much better, see? ubu

indeed!

Huh? Reading this thread backwards, so I might find out what they want from me! ubu

mo' beer All the best, and many happy returns! ubu

Hey, easy! I only used the word "great" (although more than once ) ubu

Your wish is my command, your highness ..... Ahem, I was slightly earlier with my identification ..... and if you want some more Rowles, there's plenty here. Thanks, but I got to get started on all the Wes first! Great birthday present, really! ubu

There's two, the second ("Jeux de Quartes") flute only, but very good, with a flute/vibes frontline. I love the J.J.! One of the best, indeed! I've had it for years. Jaspar is great, the Flanagan-Little-Jones rhythm section is great. The all stars quartet with Flanagan, P.C. and Roach is great, the band with just brass frontline (J.J. and Nat Adderley) is great, Nat Adderley in general is great, Freddie Hubbard is great... so much great music on 7CDs... and the sound is great, for my ears, too! ubu

Uh, well, obviously I have the short Monk one, too, but as Mike said, bloody customs made this quite a mess! And I have "In A Mist", but I put those bad Columbia discs on some pile of to-get-rid-of-discs the day I heard about the Mosaic (which I still don't have). Only listened to that music once or twice, three or four years ago. Then also I have the Jelly Roll, but as yet unlistened (if it is part of the 5CD RCA set or the one Commodore/GRP CD, if not, I don't have it) ubu

Well, as usual, a few I have but don't know too well yet: the Timmons, I have heard on my father's oooold beat up Riverside LP, but it's been ages, and that was really far from obvious! The Rowles (#1): I got this disc maybe a year ago, listened to it a couple of times, and never since... and it's the only Rowles so far that I have. And god bless them Zoll-guys! If not for them, I might have been the young one to lead you old men to the Brookmeyer/Evans... (I'd love to hear that one!) ubu

Hey, this really went fast! I got the disc yesterday, first chance to listen to it today, and already the answers are there... almost too fast, for a two-legged-anachronism such as I. I did not read anything, as usual. Hope it won't be all too embarassing #1: "Body & Soul", God in the house, I guess. Great opener! At some moments, I always took it for Mingus (but that says more about Mingus' piano playing, of course, than Tatum's). #2: Nice clarinet. Maybe I should know this, but then my George Lewis has not been explored thoroughly yet, or at least not been internalized. #3: Don't like the sound here. The music is interesting, though. It's mostly the way the drums are recorded that bothers me a bit. No idea who this could be. #4: Nice one, no idea. #5: "Satin Doll", no idea who's playing, a good one. #6: "Just One Of Those Things". Love that intro. Makes me think of God again. A great performance! Love it! I guess it's from the Tatum/Callender/Jo Jones group masterpieces session (although that box is far from me, right now). Jones was a master with the brushes. A great great performance! #7: Another great standard, "Lush Life". This disc turns into a master-pianists-play-great-songs-feast at this point! No idea who's playing here. #8: Gershwin's "The Man I Love", another song I love. Hell, there's two of them pianists here! Could this be from the Brookmeyer/Evans album? I always wanted to hear that one, yet never had a chance so far. Great performance. #9: More stride. No idea, but this makes me want to explore earlier jazz piano, and all earlier (I mean: pre-bop) jazz, in general! back to #8: Really like it! So the intro would be Brookmeyer alone, and then Evans joins? A bit of an awkward mix (drums again, mostly). Michael, if you're reading: WE WANT A NICE (MALCOLM ADDEY) REISSUE OF THIS ONE! #10: Mehldau? Not, though, from one of the discs I have, if it is him. Not sure. #11: "Someday My Prince Will Come", Disney, no? A great performance, I was really caught listening hard! Jarrett-Peacock-DeJohnette. Love this trio! Don't think this is from a recording I have. AMG only lists it on "Up For It" (which I in fact don't have): Mr Jurek gets it right, here, in my opinion. Great to hear Jarrett surrounded by other (earlier) pianists! I never happened to think of other influences on him besides Evans (I mean, I knew there were, but I just never thought about it). #12: "I Should Care" - no idea, but a slight feel I might know it, or rather should know, but fail to recognize... #13: A nice one, unknown, alas, to me. #14: A very good one, again unknown. Good drummer! #15: "Body & Soul" again (immediately recognizable, a tune that's pretty easy given away by its changes alone, it seems). Very atmospheric playing. A very enjoyable disc! Thanks a lot! ubu

Now you see, there starts your barbaric illiteracy!

Now this is pretty ridiculous: Everybody here knows I'm a God or a King or whatever, but a Grammar God? HELLNO! ubu PS: would have preferred her, anyway:

Adrian, I think the release history of the Nefertiti stuff is pretty complicated! No double album, I think, but rather two albums ("Trance" being another title used by Black Lion), in various incarnations on various labels. The Revenant reissue however seems to be the best sounding (and it's still pretty bad, but the music's glorious!), and most complete, to date. ubu PS: let me aks one more question: not having a digital output on my MD (only digital input), I would have to look for the UA1A. Then my question: do I need anything else (as for instance a sound card, which is something I don't have)? And could that UA1A also be used then, to transfer any analogue source (radio, tape) onto my computer? And does the UA1A also use the USB?

Brandon, glad to hear your alright! ubu

Obviously it is, thanks, Adrian! I'll have to find some place over here (continental europe) that has it for a good prize, I think. ubu

Is that it? http://www.zzounds.com/item--EDIUA1D ubu

I use an Edirol UA1D USB lead , takes optical and digital co-ax outputs from my MD deck. plugs into my lap to and voila, real time only record to HD and subsequent track division and CDR. This lead cost around £60 if I recall and it's been well worth it That sounds pretty simple, indeed! And that Edirol thing can be bought in any computer shop? ubu

do you have access to the swiss gold reserves... ??? set the guy up Clunky, he has a nice set of trades; I'm suprised every time and again. I'll work on making his trade set even larger and get those radio broadcasts in the process! The big problem is (I just wrote that to Adrian, too, btw): 1) my MD-Player is having problems, getting a new one is expensive etc... 2) once I have a new one, I have to figure out how to transfer MDs to CDr (I have some Brotz, too, and Chaney, D.D. and whoever interested will get it as soon as I have it on CDr!) (and John, remember I'm dumbest of all computer users ) all off-topic, sorry! ubu and obviously no gold reserves Otherwise I would have girls and cars and everything, and wouldn't bother to talk to you all here

(Feel free to ask for anything! Would be very interested in hearing these two! Please drop me a PM if you're willing to burn these!) ubu

Thanks, Maren! However, it seems the 22nd is the only concert nearby, and I won't be able to make it! ubu

actually, you ought to see the famous swiss mountains in the background... ubu
