I knew the details, but hell, that 58 session would have made an album right up with "Milestones" and "KoB", no? Glad I got that box set! (and the Ascenseur soundtrack is around in better - and complete, which is worthwhile for every Wilen fan - reissues) ubu

I'll send you some Cannible Corpse music instead... Now what the hell is "cannibale corpse music"? Has this got something to do with that favorite movie of mine, "Cannibal Holocaust"? ubu

Wow Jim, I never saw that cover! Cool one! Thanks for posting it. ubu

Regarding Evans with horns - well, I know we all love the music he made with Miles, but me thinks Evans is responsible for some of the highlights of that studio date that never actually was released on a separate album from 1958. That date that yielded a great version of Love For Sale with one of my favorite Bill Evans solos... ubu

I like it as well, got mine used for half of that price, and I think I would not have payed that much for it. ubu

"Ho-ho" my foot! Send me a copy, you know my address ubu

lol! I guess this invitation alone lets me shy away from ever coming close to your place ubu

ATTENTION! FREE JAZZ POLICE! I like to watch movies from the fifties! Forties, too, and of course early sixties! Any favorites, couw? (Soundtrack- or otherwise) ubu edited for spelling

Let me step in here, too: no heavy metal for me, NON! But: Love Waits, Dylan (saw him live early october, very good show), Björk HELLYEAH!, Hendrix and such stuff, Janis Joplin. Sometimes stuff like Goldie, Morcheeba, Tricky, 4Hero, but compared to my jazz listening time, this all is maybe 1%... ubu

There was an article on LaMonte Young recently in a german newspaper. Very very interesting. Is there anything recorded of his work? btw, Geoff, you should add the "user manual" for that Riley piece! (to read those manuals is often half the fun with that kind of music... ever seen "In C"?) ubu

cool pic, Geoff! (It's Wheeler, though) Have never heard him perform live. Would like to, of course! ubu

Hey we are almost all online together right now! Shouldn't we do a little celebration? (well, let's hope the free jazz police doesn't find us!) Geoff, I don't have any CD-burn facilities, and use very slow (phone) online connections usually, so MP3 is no possibility. (but if you like to check out some, there's some good stuff on Andrew Hill's homepage, and much music on Greg Osby's - I let a friend of mine burn CDs of that stuff for me - the one who handled the Steamboats...) I have heard some Riley with saxophone quartet, him playing piano. Some composed things, some improvised. Beautiful music! Д.Д., you're right about that saxophone player - I only have one CD of Sade though, and don't think I need any more of them. It's been six or seven years since I played that one last. ubu

I found this great CD yesterday, in some sales bin for a small amount of $$: Proper Records has the following text: (souce: http://www.propermusic.com/code/products.asp?recid=1992#) The CD contains the following: Chris McGregor p; Dudu Pukwana as; Nick Moyake ts; Mongezi Velelo b ; Early Mabuse d LT 5718 Schoolboy --------- Now McGregor; poss. Dennis Mpali t (-1); Pukwana; Moyake; Sammy Maritz b; Mabuse LT 5719 The Blessing Ligth (2 takes) --------- Take The Coltrane (-1) Note to (-1): the liners speak of Feza, while the Discography in the booklet states the above. McGregor; Mongezi Feza tp; Pukwana; Moyake; Maritz; Mabuse LT 5720 Angelica --------- Kay (2 takes) McGregor; Mongezi Feza tp; Pukwana; Moyake; Maritz; Louis Moholo d LT 5721 Vortex Special --------- Never Let Me Go --------- Izithunywa McGregor; Mongezi Feza tp; Pukwana; Moyake; Maritz; Moholo LT 1722 Blue Nick --------- Coming Home (Takes 1 & 2) --------- Dick's Pick All recorded in early 1964, Cape Town (no more information known on dates). I have only had a casual listen to it, but I loved it! (And of course I had to grab the Ellington/Coltrane Impulse CD to dig what a beautiful tune Angelica is!) Anybody has information on their Ogun albums? Are they available on CD? ubu

I have the Kenton Presents and the Ellington Reprise, and I do know that some day I will also have the Wilson... I fully agree with what Matthew said about the Kenton Presents set The Holman stuff is terrific! The Cooper, I did not like it that much, though. The Ellington Reprise seems to be available in that strange german edition (or is this just a Warner/Reprise edition?) - I saw it in a store yesterday, though not for a nice prize at all. Maybe someone can help with that - I seem to remember there was some link pointing to this one in another thread (probably the Ellington Reprise is OOP one) ubu

You know, there is one big fan of Sade (well, at least her looks) around here (not me, though). (Oh, I sure don't think she looks bad or something...) I started buying jazz whilst at highschool, around 16 or 17 years old, and I stopped counting my CDs a year or two ago. It's in the four digit range, much more than 1000, but I really don't know it more exactly... and I'm NOT A COLLECTOR - maybe that I am an addict or a freak or whatever though Geoff, thanks for the Rzewski recommendations. I'll look for a recording as soon as I can afford. Terry Riley anyone? ubu

Mine's bigger but you are a bit older than 19 right? Hell, how did you find out B) ubu

How's that? I always wanted to get this! Is this OOP or not? What recordings do exist? Are there several? Hell, as we are discussing Satie here, and you list such stuff, why not add some minimal music recommendations? Anyone has some particular favorites? Any one heard Rzewski's "Moutons du.." (shit, what's it called again?) Another piece I love is the Reich Marimba one - five, I guess it is. ubu edited (only wanted to have the Rzewski in the quote)

Crispell/Jarman duo is excellent. Lyrical and bluesy. Get it! John, I'll listen to VAO one more time and elaborate. On the first (not very attentive) listen it sounded mechanistic and over-arranged. Thanks, I'll look for it this evening, hope it's still around! Hey, I'd be interested in hearing more of your opinion on the VAO, too! "Mechanical" I do think it is, but that's Satie to blame. Rüegg tries to stay in tune/in mood with the compositions, I think. How do you like the soloists? I'm thinking particularly of Roman Schwaller and Wolfgang Puschnig. (One of my favorite VAO moments is Puschnig playing the Donau waltz as an encore of the All That Strauss programme - I love it! Is that on the CD, too? I have it recorded from radio, so did not get the CD) ubu

Mine's bigger

Anyone knows the Music & Arts duo CD by Jarman/Crispell? I think I could still pick it up for a good price, but have bought so much stuff now (and still not all x-mas presents...) and thus need some The steamboats are on their way. I hope at least our dear russian friend receives his in time for x-mas, maybe the europeans, too, but I guess John B, Geoff and Chaney will have to be patient... (Where's Hans, btw? Hope nothing bad happened! I would have another copy for him, of course...) ubu

Thanks for this review! Sounds good! ubu

Sad news! I don't know much of his records, but I will certainly look out for the Prestiges! I have this one: And it is good. Young's contribution maybe the highlight. I don't know if it's still available from Freshsound (it's temporarily out of stock right now). ubu

I like that one! And of course her contributions to the Getz/Gilberto and Getz/Gilberto #2 albums. She may be an acquired taste, I guess (but one I did acquire). ubu

Don't you tell me you never saw that picture before!?! Sure she is, what else... (Wouldn't you be, too?) ubu B)
