Hi buddy :tiphat:

Of course I am Okay Mat :tiphat:, but thank you for thinking of my well being. Checking "New Posts" equals 956 individual posts? Guys, this is the summer holliday!!

Back from what should have been my debut at the Tour de France, after being offered free driving to the city of Chateauroux south of Paris, France with a fish truck, driving from northern Norway to Pamplona, Spain - where I met the truck just south of Aalborg, Denmark on the freeway hitch-hiking, with my backpack and a small 1 - at the most - 2 persons tent, and that ONLY if prospects were possitive.

Unfortunately 350.000 other people had the same idea as me, which let to the final but predictable results, I never made it to the top of the d`Alpe d´Huez to cheer the Danish bicykling team CSC and Carlos Sastre, who incidently won the fight against this one mountain d´Alpe d´Huez and later on sunday won the entire Tour de France 2008, driving in to the most prestigious city Paris, France - wearing that most prestigious yellow T-shirt indicating to all spectators and the millions of viewers in front of the TV in any private home - this is the guy, who leads.

We did see a lot of bicycling people, but never got close to the action, because of all the other 350.000 individuals mostly in cars, who constantly created traffic jams, but then the French believe everybody else on four wheels are idiots, which speak for the chaos they always create on any road in France.

On topic:

Keith Jarrett and the Standards Trio on the latest release from the ECM Records in 2007 "My Foolish Heart".

The musicians:

Keith Jarrett - piano
Gary Peacock - double bass
Jack DeJohnette - drums

Wow!!! It never dawned on me that Intet was a drummer. But I knew he was a *drummer to a different tune* :grin::grin::grin:

Hilarius as always, are "we" using the sarcastic tone of voice, sir Corno Dolce? :tiphat:

I know you have been almost sick, while I have been away, worried about me. It seems, you even made my Polish bisquit buddy Mat worry. Sorry for not warning you prior to my sudden trip to France. But you are in fact right on one thing, quote: "It never dawned on me that Intet was a drummer".

Lots of things never dawned to you, sir Corno Dolce (LMAO).

Intet, is not a trained nor educated drummer, just a guy who favoures drums in jazz and incidently the freaking best air drummer you can imagine, but never had the chance nor time to get in to it as a student in a conservatory or ordinary music school. But having had the true pleasure in my teens to have attended some of the very best drummers at that time in rock and jazz, I knew, I would never be able to play like they did, even if I exercized for 30 years. As you should know by now my future was in politics abroad.

On topic:

Same as above responding to Mat.

I was somewhat disappointed with you, to read your post on flying in a helicopter to Mangalen, not my kind of sissy trip. But I guess for you, it would be appropreate.

No Intet - no sarcasm intended - Ceteris Paribus.............

Okay, sir Corno Dolce :tiphat:


Incidently, I first realised that the drums was my favourite instrument in ROCK music in the latter part of the 1960´s, post The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, since Ringo Star and Charlie Watts (the Stones) in my humble opinion back in the day were merely amateurs, opposite drummers like Carl Palmer, Aynsley Dunbar, Mitch Mitchell, Ginger Baker, Clive Bunker, John Bonham, Nick Mason (all of them fom the UK), John Densmore, Billy Kreutzman and Michael Shrive (the Doors, Grateful Dead and Santana from the US) and as for jazz Alex Riel (Denmark) and Jack DeJohnette and Tony Williams (the US).

Since then, whenever I listen to a group in ROCK or jazz the very first time, the instrument I listen to first are the drums.

I guess you feel it the same way with some other kind of music, perhaps even the piano as for jazz, since you got a piano sitting in your house.

Sorry Ms. rojo :tiphat: Please check on the posts from sir Corno Dolce July 21 and 23, while I was not around. I am sure you can spot, where sir Corno Dolce might have chosen sarcasm, like this quote: "But I knew he was a *drummer to a different tune* :grin::grin::grin:.". :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:.

sir Corno Dolce always confuses me, and he has used the sarcasm on various other occasions, so I never know. But I got no beef with sir Corno Dolce. Just trying to fit a language preferrable to him. Most of the time, I realy enjoy his wisdom and intinuety on various issues, and he is not all that difficult to deduct. He is actually quite funny in his own way.

He enjoys Keith Jarrett and Pat Metheny and jazz in generel like I do, so we have to communicate like adults remembering ourselves on the European Act on Freedom of Speech.

On topic for sir Corno Dolce and Mat :tiphat::

Pat Metheny on his second PMG album "The White Album" by the ECM Records 1978.

The song "Lone Jack" composed by Pat Metheny, specificly dedicated to the drummer Jack DeJohnette. Today, I dedicate the same song to sir Corno Dolce aus Hawaii und Mat aus Poland.

The musicians:

Pat Metheny - 6 and 12 string acoustic/electric guitars
Lyle Mays - piano, Oberheim synthesizer, autoharp
Mark Egan - el. bass
Danny Gottlieb - drums

Songs like "San Lorenzo" and "Jaco" (for Jaco Pastorius) along with "April Joy" and "Lone Jack" are identical to, what the phenomena on the guitars Pat Metheny is all about.

Brad Mehldau Trio Live.

Nice choice sir corno Dolce:tiphat::clap:

I have three older albums with Brad Mehldau Trio on tapes, before Brad began to record with Pat Metheny in the new milenium and made two albums.

The two of them are entitled "The Art of The Song, Volume 1 and 2 - Live". Are we by any chance talking of the same albums, sir?

On these two albums the co-musicians are:

Larry Grenadier - double bass
Jose Rossy - drums

J. Rossy, who has done the percussion as well on an older album with Weather Report.

I have another one too, simply entitled "Songs" same musicians.

On topic:

Tania Maria, Brazilian pianist and vocalist on her album "The Best of Tania Maria" with a lot of famous American jazz musicians.

Tania Maria had a huge atttraction to the Danish live audience in the late 1970´s - 80´s. She recorded two duo albums with the Danish double bass player NHØP, and two albums with the trio T. Maria, NHØP and the american drummer Ed Thigpen, who came to Denmark in the 1970´s and stayed here for good, having met one of these tall long legged Danish blondes :grin::grin:.

Today there has been quiet around Tania Maria for some years. But this album reminds me of happy jazz with a great vocalist, who lost her heart to Denmark.

On the album "The Best of....", the musicians are:

Tania Maria - vocals, piano, keyboards, percussion
Robbie Condor - synthesizers
Jim Clouse - tenor saxophone
Dan Carillo - acoustic/electric guitars
Eddie Gomez - double bass
Anthony Jackson - acoustic bass guitar
Tom Barney - el. bass
Dave Weckl/Buddy Williams/Steve Gadd/Kim Plainfield - drums
Sammy Figueroa/Steve Thornton - percussion
Eumir Deodato - drum programing

Songs like "Don´t Go" and "Made In New York" realy get me on my feet. Great mixture of Brazilian folk music and samba/bossanova with American jazz and pop music. Great for dancing, even if it can not be compared to "Tango for Two".

Salvatore Bonafede - piano, on his album "For The Time Being" by CamJazz 2005.

Never heard of the pianist before, but having bourght this album because I found the name strange and unfamiliar, I have to say this guy can actually play a handsome jazz piano.

It does not make the impression of his piano skills lesser in any way, looking at the musicians, he chose for this recording:

Joe Lovano - tenor saxophone
Adam Rogers - guitars
Mark Dresser - double bass
Paul Motian - drums
Michele Rabbia - percussion
