just in case intakt has a two disc set of some Voerkel recordings available: http://www.intaktrec.ch/voerkel.htm

Yes, some care. But others seem to be unable to grasp why that is and keep proclaiming there superiority that they thinketh lieth tehrein.

Another telling phrase from that article: Thanks for your attempt to explanation of this whole thing, Larry - makes a lot of sense what you say! This guy definitely shares the narrowness of conception and thinking that the Crouch/Marsalis gang is so good at. Some of his points are so clueless, his premisses so far off the mark - it's pathetic. I'd be ashamed to publish something like that (but then I wouldn't and this dude wouldn't know, so really, there's no point in discussing this much furthre).

The smaller ones do (i.e. Jochum or Böhm Symphonies), and of course all the Universal Italy ones do (the Jochum and Böhm might be italian, have the later, but not at hand to check). Also the Abbado Symphony Edition went down quite some (to less than 50€). Not sure about the Pavarotti ... I want a few of the recordings it contains and as they're not around in cheapo, librotto-less reissue versions, it might in fact be cheaper to get the big box - but then again, there's stuff in it I really don't think I'm going to like all that much (though that's not based on actual listening).

Interesting! The Montréal Tapes aren't from 1990 though.

Thx, don't need it then ... but will have to look for my CD, time for another spin - remember it as being pretty good!

Is this the Galaxy two disc set offered again as a download?

Same here. This thread sucks. I thinks points were made rather clearly, both by Allen and Jim. Would be okay, I guess, to have some sort of grown-up discussion, but that seems impossible - and at that, futile, too.

So it was Satchelmouth's birthday and I missed it? Happy birthday and all the best, Lon!

Seems so ... but if it bothers you really, you maybe ought to take a stand against moronity such as that New Yorker piece, instead of proclaiming an anything goes and no one was hurt attitude. Just think about it for a second.

no one hotter than the Spanish teacher

Granted - but I think Jim made some good points why this isn't just your harmless attempt at humour. At least not to everybody, obvsiouly. Sonny already found out (but that may have been reported in the other thread dealing with this bull).

Indeed, that was immediately clear to me, too. At least this time the author isn't anonymous (like in the moronic "Sonny Rollins" piece), but this personal attack is very bad style.

That, alas, is not how it works (and not how it worked after Norah's debut had filled BN's pockets).

Crazy weather all of July and continuing ... sun and rain within minutes, hot and humid to pretty cool within hours ... if anyone needs any more proof of climate change, there it is - whole year was weird already - no winter at all (I don't think it was ever below freezing for a whole day), summer was probably what he had in June, but it was way too warm in March already.

wtf indeed - and definitely not funny

got that CD from brownie once - pretty good indeed

That link leads to a "page not available" thingie ... care to quote if you can access it? German Wiki offers July 7 as date of death, linking this as source: http://obituaries.braggfuneralhome.com/mr-francis-frankie-dunlop-obituary/ I just clicked on it and it went right to Nasar's Facebook page. He's a great drummer, also. Weird, I get nowhere still, just that error page ("This content is currently unavailable"). Playing some Monk w/Dunlop right now ... love this! When I first hear this stuff (most notably "Monk's Dream"), it immediately dawned on me that the Columbia Monk naysayers might have some things wrong. Okay, the routine and all - but as long as Dunlop was behind the kit, there was always enough going on for me! (edited for crappy typing)

Well no, if you stick to one recording, it's one interpretation you can learn to love and understand.

Thanks for clarifying. I've not played her debut for a long time, but I found it likeable enough ... warm sound, nice voice ... but ultimately also the kind of music that's not hurting anyone. Will get an earful of this trio. I stumbled over the cover (or maybe even that photo w/hats, I dimly remember something like that), but didn't even notice NoJo was on it. Also, Monk's phrasing was of course spot on most of the time ... apples and oranges (and different leagues, too, I'd assume).

Not even sure I ever heard her doing jazz ... what would that have been? Do you include the first album as "jazz"?

Can't buy this one then, as I can't compare each work it contains with seventeen other versions.
