Well, as usual, I did NOT look at any of the above answers (and I'm not cheating, i was in hospital since friday, my sis brought me the disc, and I listened and enjoyed it there, just back home and fine again now). What follows is my notes I took while in hospital on some sheet of paper. No changes made. 1 Cool opening! Very good groove. No idea. 2 Again no idea. Good one! Horns sound a little dukish, bass could be Cecil McBee (going from the sound). 3 Lee Konitz? No? Certainly nice alto solo. Not sure I'd need the congas on this one, but all in all it's fine. 4 Although I never heard this one, it does seem familiar. Horace Silver? One of his late recordings? 5 Know this one, swings like mad, good alto solo. (Did not yet check with my collection to identify, as I just returned half an hour ago) 6 Another good one! (Great disc so far!!) Love the solos. 7 Gil Evans? Another one I do like. No idea really who it could be. Great rhythm section beneath the bari sax. Thad Jones-Mel Lewis? (It would be Pepper Adams, then, of course). But where then would those vibes come from? Could this be one of those Terry Gibbs dates I ought to check out? Just a wild guess. Great track, my favourite so far, I think. The horns behind the bass have that Evans-touch again. 8 Another cool one! Love the combination of flute & vibes! Herbie Mann? Alto flute, this is, or maybe even a bass flute? 9 Cool! 10 This disc sends me on an interesting rhythmical journey. Now this is some afro-cuban stuff. I think I know it, but I'm not sure at all. Nope, don't know it. Love the sound of the cuban percussion sections! 11 More similar. 12 Know this tune. Cool version! Lucky T? Beautiful tenor sound! Has to be him! (Couldn't check, though, as my collection was beyond reach.) 13 Again not the slightest idea! Harmonica - Toots Thielemans? Nice, breathy alto. Again touches of Gil Evans I hear. 14 Guy Klucevesek? Very nice accordion, good drummer. Nice mix of instruments, love it! 15 Again maybe Klucevesek, maybe some one else I never heard of. Another interesting line up. Beautiful tune. Greg Cohen on bass? 16 Slightly kitschy, no? 17 Same as for the last one, but I like this a little bit better. Nice sax. 18 Lovely! 19 Another one I like, but have no idea. 20 Again, no idea. Big thanks for this CD! I really enjoyed listening! ubu

Now that's some crazy schitte! I am *out of order* for one long weekend, did not even yet post my reply to the on-going BFT, and already sign up for the next! Hell, things are moving fast here! ubu

I'm in for both discs! Will send you a mail, thanks! ubu

Milan, wish you only the best! And many happy returns! Flurin

Here's the cover (couldn't load it from the Intakt site directly)

wtf is tuvan throat singing? ---------- Listening to Charles Gayle's "More Live" (Knit). Pretty exciting stuff! Though I think I like the Coltrane homage with Rashied Ali a little bit better. Found the latest Intakt Evan Parker/Barry Guy 2CD set new for 10CHF yesterday! No chance to listen yet. The booklet has an intersting interview with the two, trying to find words to explain what they're doing musically, and also just refreshing memories of how they came to know each other etc. It's this one: http://www.intaktrec.ch/guyparker-a.htm ubu

Thanks for clearing things! B3-er, hope this problem will be solved as fast as each problem showing up on this board has been solved ubu

You talkin' to me or to Late? If me, you got my email address (I don't want to post it here, as I've been without spam so far) ubu

Mark, I was thinking it over several times, too. But generally, I am slowly and unforcedly working my way back (first from modal/free to bop, and now to swing and earlier things), and I like almost anything I have yet encountered. And if I don't like it now, there might still come a time I will... Anyway, I think I do have some sort of idea of what I will going to hear. ubu Just to make sure I wasn't misunderstood, the recommendation I hesitate to make is to skip disc one. As for buying the set, I don't hesitate at all. It was a very delightful surprise for me! I'm working my way back as well, although as I started at hard bop, I find myself working forward at the same time. I really like what I've heard so far! The quartet George Lewis tracks are sublime! Great music, good liners, nice photos (that one of Paul Barbarin is beautiful, on top of page 5, I think - don't have it at hand right now). ubu

Perhaps Irene Aebi? ubu

Please answer telling me whether you got my PM or not! I wrote you earlier today, but received the mail error message, so I don't know if my PM went through (it's not in the Sent Items folder) ubu (I will delete this thread later)

Thanks, Shrdlu! So I don't need this one. ubu

Ernie Henry? -- Imagine! ubu

Thanks for posting that cool LP cover, Jim! I only have three or four Kenton discs so far, plus the Forties Mosaic. What I'd like to know is: can the recordings of the Holman/Russo Mosaic be bought on single CDs? Some of the 53-54 CDs available do have Holman/Russo charts, however, is there a way of acquiring all that was in that Mosaic set? Could anyone maybe name the respective albums? Or does anyone have a discography of that set he could post here? ubu

Milan, welcome back! And thanks for your comments above! Can't believe you guys walk around with closed ears Still I'm only listening to the Basie things, not to JATP. Will have closer listens to the broadcasts I have now, and report back if I find something interesting down the alley of your free jazz thoughts. ubu

Now you dare starting this thread BEFORE even one of us heady europeans has received the disc?!? Looking forward to it! ubu

How about a bamboo saxophone? Roscoe Mitchell plays such a thing on the "Urban Magic" live CD I'm listening to. Then there would be the one pitched higher than the soprano, which lots of posters sure would like to be banned from our planet ubu

Might be good to have this one in RVG treatment anyway! Glad I did not stand between you and your luck... ubu

Sorry for my help in spreading the AMG schitte! I was at work and remembered my old US CD had a bonus cut, and when I saw that # on AMG I thought that was it. My CD has 1992 US CD has 8 tracks, "They Can't Take That Away From Me" was then previously unissued. Again sorry for the confusion, memory was right, but AMG not ubu

You're waiting for the Mitchell? Be patient and wait - the music will reward you! ubu

Jim, I think the Stan T. has one or two tracks not on LP (I got an old CD of that one). Checked AMG, one it seems: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&u...l=A5pg9kebtjq7m ubu

I see them in stores in jewel cases, too. ubu

You know, me too knows how to go for the post count, you rockofellatios ubu

Let me make some ballyoo...
