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

Yeah buddy! one of the best releases from 32, in my opinion! big ubu

A treat indeed! I found a quite good copy of the Jazzworkshop 2LP set some years ago. Great music! Lesser so with sound quality, but it's good enough to thoroughly enjoy what there is to enjoy - and there's quite some! "Meditations" is one of favorite pieces of "Mingusiana". ubu

Here's a thread I started about a relatively recent, great Bartz reissue on Fantasy: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...wtopic=2673&hl= I like him rather well, by the little I know or have. Thanks for digging up the old thread, I'll have to read it. ubu ps: you can delete you double up topic yourself; on the bottom of the topic you got something like moderator options or something, there you can choose "delete topic", and so is history made

Amen, my brother.

Rhoda Scott! Then there's another exceptional bass player, Hélène Labarrière. ubu

GUINNESS!!
