or should I have said: "of UTMOST international importance", couw? Up to you to decide! ubu

you were apparantly... go for it ubu! need some more? http://www.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=21232 Although I can't understand this one, it sure looks interesting: http://www.htnet.hr/lifestyle/fset.html and judging from these, it's obvious they're both of international importance: http://mensual.prensa.com/mensual/contenid...sta/889703.html http://www.glaubeaktuell.net/portal/journa...?IDD=1046172016 http://lcn.canoe.com/artsetspectacles/musi...005-133623.html http://www.saigonnet.vn/vanhoa/tintuc/feb0...t2003022514.htm you can have more, of course, but you can search for it yourself ubu edited for spelling

I love the Bohemia sets - the Prophets and the Blakeys! No need to compare the Bohemias with the Brownie ones - we can have and enjoy both of them! And they're quite different in style anyway! I think Watkins and Mobley make a huge difference - the whole feel of the band has evolved pretty much between these two dates - and Brownie's marvellous playing (though his relative youth shows sometimes, in my opinion) notwithstanding, I personally may even prefer the Bohemias of Blakey. (Sacrilege, but who cares...) ubu

By the way, the Verna Gillis providing the "female voice" parts - is that the same lady who produces/stages or whatever the "soundscape series" (released on Universal/Verve)? ubu

by the way: http://www.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=21232 just in case someone's interested... ubu

I think our dear friend music boy has some comments that might be applicable to your post in this thread, Jim. Comments from the music boy Is that guy for real? so much for "honest questions"... ubu

I just bought Don Cherry's "Brown Rice" - an incredible album! Haden turns in some fine playing, there, too! ubu

Could anyone tell me some more about this music? Might be down my alley! thanks, ubu

Thanks for sharing, Rooster T! ubu FOR THE RECORD, Michael said he's talking with Andrew about it, and NOTHING is at all certain about whether any of those unreleased Andrew Hill sessions will ever see the light of day. Personally, I would guess that there's only a 50/50 chance that Andrew will end up wanting them released. Maybe he will, but there's every chance that maybe he won't. Nobody's more excited about the posibility of hearing all those unreleased Hill sessions than I am. But we need to be clear that this is probably very much an "iffy" project, at this point. I don't want to give the impression otherwise, and don't want to raise expectations beyond just the "maybe" stage. I don't know Andrew (I only just met the man for two minutes last July), but my gut tells me that this really could go either way. Let's all keep our fingers crossed, and hope for the best. you know, Rooster, the notion that... maybe... was enough to get me excited early this morning! I read your post well, but as Andrew has agreed to Passing Ships - after us hearing he won't agree to anything at all -, let's keep our fingers crossed indeed! ubu

this comes from the jazzos site: ubu

I couldn't live without! And neither would I want to...

?? you had me spilling my coffee all over the keyboard... ubu

Have any of their discs? Jazzos misses the "buy all five" offer! Any idea what a "prepared sardinian guitar" might be? Or might this be the one to be omitted with Jazzos' "buy any four" offer? thanks for the link! ubu

Co Streiff is another highly competent swiss jazz musician. She's got a recent CD out on Intakt, Qattara. Quite a good record, by the way. The band (a sextett, Ms Streiff plays alto and soprano sax) presents a good mix of free and groove. Here is a link to Irene Schweizer's records on Intakt. ubu

As I remember Mingus does one of the Ellington numbers solo. ubu

The hat albums have been reissued recently on hatOLOGY 2-595: (I think there was a thread on this one, earlier. I have not got it yet) ubu

just in case you don't know this site: http://www.wattxtrawatt.com/library.html you get all the lead sheets there! check out the whole site, it's a cool one! By the way, I saw the Three Guys (Konitz-Swallow-Motian) live, in or around 1997, and it was one of the best live concerts I ever saw! Konitz blew mind, and Motian was really pushing. Swallow's on-stage persona is quite strange, but he always delivered when I saw him. ubu

Wow, deus! Great covers! (but I think I'll gonna take the superfluous couw one! Love it!) ubu

count me in! ubu

Don Cherry's Where Is Brooklyn Cecil Taylor's two albums some avant-conn... ubu

Thanks for sharing, Rooster T! ubu

This set, along with the live Albert Ayler, the Exploding Customer disc and the Jemeel Moondoc Tentet disc are all on my list of Aylers to pick up asap. Jan i putting out some essential discs. The Jimmy Lyons box is fantastic and I have really enjoyed all of the single discs on Ayler I have heard so far. This one looks interesting indeed! John, the Ayler release is a good one, too! You'll love it! ubu

I will! Once I get together my CDR abilities and facilities you're in for a treat... (the first part of that concert was broadcast in autumn VERY GOOD MUSIC - my first encounter with the Chicago Tentet - Chaney, I started with the box yesterday, but having had a headache - almost constantly for the last four days, shit! - I had to stop after disc1 track1. Love that one, though!) ubu

The "New Wave in Jazz" CD also has a Spaulding version of "Brilliant Corners". How does that compare? (I have lent my CD, can't check it out). ubu

Another one I have and forgot to list above: the Owl duo album of Lacy and Gil Evans, Paris Blues: It's very sketchy, but beautiful, in my opinion. Evans plays mostly (?) electric piano, they play some Ellington and some Mingus. A moody record which grew to me very much (I did need some time though). Another, reinforced recommendation for: ubu
