Now what sort of reference point should this be "ho ho"? Pleeaze explain, dear gentleman! ubu

By the way, some time ago I emailed Mosaic about a Reece Select and MC answered something like they think about doing it... not very specific, but there's still some hope! ubu

Hey, send me a copy if you find one I have all the other Reece Blue Notes and love them very much! But Soundin' Off seems to be not exactly easy to find. I never heard it. Hope there will be a reissue some day... Good comments you make on Reece's sound and lines ubu

NOW THERE COME THIS MUDDAFUCKN RUSSIAN AND KNOWS WERTHMÜLLER WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERFECT DRUMMER TO FIT ON OUR FAVORITE HANK MOBLEY RECORDS... HOLY SHIT!! ubu START SCREAMIN' HELL YEAH! Welcome to the board! Great you made it over here, finally (well, you can't say I did not invite you earlier...) ubu

I don't have these two, but Branford's The Dark Keys is also nice to listen to, from time to time. ubu

How about a new original on the Organissimo Tribute CD "Turd-Uck-En Blues"? This is one of those discussions which makes me feel happy about being an old european... ubu

And I think after a first listen that I do prefer Memento, too. Miller and Blade do seem to make a difference! Colley is one of the better young mainstream bass players. ubu

Hey Mike, thanks for this recommendation, and congrats to your new Groove Merchant status! ubu

Mike, I think I've read similar comments in a Tyner chapter in one of J.E. Behrendt's books ("Fenster aus Jazz", if memory serves me right). Thanks! ubu

I did mention the Radio day series as often as I could, but alas nobody seems to be very interested (except, I have to admit, in the Mulligan CJB disc, discussed in some other, still recently active thread). I only know one track from that Richardson disc, but that one's so good I always wanted to pick up the album since then! (I didn't... but I will do so in the future) ubu

I know! See Jim's great (as usual) account on the latest Mariano record here. ubu

Yeah, Dan! Why not try! The owner of TCB, by the way, is an accomplished swiss mainstream drummer himself. Read more on the history of TCB: (taken from their site) By the way, they've got a real nice links site! Why not ask them to link organissimo forums? ubu

By the way: nice that Mariano got two votes I love him, and love his work on Black Saint, yet I'd somehow never really consider him a Mingus sideman. ubu

You know, I had a similar experience with Hadi's playing on that disc as you did describe so eloquently. I had the a real bad old remaster (from our good friends ZYX in germany), and never liked it, sounded so bad. Then I got the Avenue edition and it blew me away! Actually, Hadi's playing blew me away... On the earlier stuff with Mingus he's got his sound together (as on, say, "Blue Cee" from The Clown), but on this one he's really really good. ubu

Jim, you have the bonus material on the Avenue/Rhino reissue of Symposium? ubu

It's these two discs I picked up: and this is the artist site on http://www.palmetto-records.com/: http://www.palmetto-records.com/cgi-local/...ID=192711244624 ubu

I had a chance to pick up Margitza's two latest Palmetto releases for a very good prize, and did get them. I only knew the very few tracks he made with Miles, and some of his work with Maria Schneider (one CD and one live concert, at that concert Rich Perry took all tenor solos safe one by Margitza). I think he's a very solid player. Nice sound, nice style all together. What do you think? There's almost nothing to be found on him on the board, safe for that Stanley Cowell CD which one should obviously better not get... ubu

Anyone has heard Curtis Lundy's "Purpose" (AMG)? I'm pretty impressed by Shim's playing on that one, too! Steve Nelson is on vibes, Anthony Wonsey and John Hicks on piano, and Billy Hart on drums. Me likee! ubu

I ordered "Live Tatum vol.1" from CDUniverse. It hasn´t arrived yet. Will post when I listen to it. My hunger for Tatum grows and grows dangerously. PS: No need to worry for being an egoist, ubu. Who´s not an egoist nowadays? I actually do my best not to be... never have been on very good terms with "nowadays"... listening to jazz in old europe sure makes people think you are one hell of a strange person (well at least in switzerland, it often seems like that - jazz did not cross the alps with Hannibal, Napoleon or the Russians!). I read about you having ordered Vol. 1 of the Storyvilles. Please do indeed report back when you get it! I shall consider picking them up, too. ubu

Sorry for being such an egoist, EKE! Have you picked up one of those live Storyville CDs? ubu

Brad, the Pablos were not discussed here so far. I made some comments on them in another (unrelated) thread. I went on vacation for two weeks in october and took with me both the Pablos, the Capitol 2CD and the 20c Piano Genius 2CD. It was exhaustive listening, and I was overwhelmed! You really should not be scared by virtuosity, though that's probably a difficult thing with Tatum. I only heard the Pablo solo material once in chronological order, then went back to some single discs, or some tracks. It is exhaustive, but it's worth the time! Well I did some search and found that post of mine: ubu

Based on all the interesting comments in this discussion I picked up the Fruscella Atlantic disc recently, and yesterday found a copy of the Spotlite LP "Fru'n Brew". No chance to spin it yet, but I love the Atlantic! Thanks for all this information, guys! ubu

I know, Adrian! I have picked up Vol. 3 Bud! In its RVG incarnation, and it's beyond comparison. Yet, I have listened to the stuff in the box so many times, it would be like losing an old friend to dump it! The liners are good, in my opinion, and I have gotten used to "read" the session infos etc. the way they put it there. And then, the two Roost dates, at least the first of which is essential, too, in my opinion, are not available on a single CD except from Japan. But I will pick up the RVGs someday, I know! ubu

Dan, I never knew that was his brother, don't have any of his discs. You might find a lot you like on TCB! Check out their site: http://www.tcb.ch. Go to the Red Spine series in the catalogue section. There are records by Louis Hayes, Buster Williams, and Steve Nelson, among others. While I don't have many of them, I think the "agb" series is a good one! ubu

I had a chance to pick this up recently, and remembering this AOTW discussion, I did. Thanks for all your comments full of insight! LOVE this album! ubu
