PM for you Mat.

Chick Corea with new talents in Jazz on the double album "Remembering Bud Powell", Stretch Records 1997 feat. CC ( piano) Kenny Garrett (alto saxophone - former with the Miles Davis Band), Joshua Redman (tenor saxophone - son of Dewey Redman), Wallace Roney (trumpet), Christian McBride (double bass - in trio with Pat Metheny and Antonio Sanchez) and the ole timer Roy Haynes (drums).

Great when the staff take the dishes, washing up and we the real men move to the mens room for coffee, cigars and brandy.

Keith Jarrett - Bye Bye Blackbird; The Koln Concert

[intet_at_tabe]

Keith Jarrett (piano)/Gary Peacock (double bass)/Jack Dejohnette (drums) on the all improvised double CD "Always Let Me Go", recorded at Orchard Hall and Bunka Kaikan, Tokyo, Japan in 2001, released by the ECM Records 2002.

These three elderly world famous in jazz american gentlemen mostly known as The Standards Trio some times freak out like on this double album, where nothing had been prepared ahead of the concerts, except their instruments were on the set.

Well buddy, Corno Dolce

My favourite tunes on "Always Let Me Go" are on CD 2 - "Facing East" with Jack DeJonette having fun building up a drum solo for the intro, followed by the tune "Tsunami", probarly titled after the Tsunami, which killed thousands of people flooding entire countries, leaving everything in chaos.

We have been here before my friend Corno Dolce , haven´t we? For reasons unknown to the both of us playing the same music on a sunday morning though thousands of miles apart, never having met. Is that telepathy and quite awesome or what?

But then as you so articulate put it "Great minds think alike"

[Corno Dolce]

Hello Intet,

Well, if it be telepathics or some other "phenomenon" which defies quantification and qualification - I don't know - but it shows that even people from musically disparate backgrounds can be "linked" by Jazz even if they are very distant.

Cheers,

Friday night, The BBC were showing on their BBC4 channel two televised interviews/programmes with Oscar Peterson. One was with Count Basie - the two of them in a long conversation at the piano about Jazz piano and there were one of two other guests, but it was hosted by Oscar. A Gem of a programme

The other was Oscar being inteviewed by Andre Previn. This was a really rare diamond. Such a privalege to have been able to see...

The Honorable member of this parliament sir Corno Dolce

Let´s make a small scientific calculation on the probabilities.

However first this. Having known you for about a month + 3 days, which has been a party mate, I have to ask you this dear sir. Do you know the proverb: They can´t see the forest from all them trees? .

If you do, please indulge me. Of course, I would never disagree with you on whether we have experienced telepathy or a phenomenon, however asking myself: How many different jazz albums exist in the world - 100.000 - 1 million - 10 million etc. etc.. Or perhaps better: How many people around the world would have that particular inspiration, at that particular time parted by thousands of miles, to go straight to the CD player and put on "Always Let Me Go"?

Which regarding other Jarrett/Peacock/DeJohnette performances on an album, "Always Let Me Go" is completely different, all improvised and you can´t watch TV at the same time. The music needs your attention.

But as I have already stated, I would never lean my own explanation on you. It obviously happens more than one time, and it will probably happen again, so let´s enjoy it dear sir.

This late afternoon, I offer you Donald Fagen and Walter Becker in short the leaders of the american jazz/rock legendary band Steely Dan, the song: "Are You Reelin´In the Years".

With complemence, respectfully

[Corno Dolce]

Hello Intet,

I shall venture forth this statement: Since Keith Jarrett and the Standards Trio are pretty much a phenomenal representation of the best there is on the Jazz scene - lets call them Jazz Ambassadors - what do Ambassadors do? They represent! In the case regarding the Standards Trio, they represent the finest there is about Jazz and people with excellent taste for excellent Jazz will be drawn to them.

Methinks that many others had heard the same music yesterday, unbeknownst who else was listening. Just like the music of JSBach - it reaches out and draws people together. Just like great art: Botticelli Frescoes, Sculptures by Michelangelo, the Art collections in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia, The Louvre in Paris, the Prado in Madrid, and the Met in New York, to name a few...

Cheers,

CD

ps. Back on topic: "Secret Story" by Pat Metheny.

Dino Timoteo Saluzzi born in Campo Santo, in the Argentine 1935. Taught by his father at home to play the bandeneon. Dino left for Buenos Aires in 1952 and were adopted into the argentine tango orchestras, where he met the saxophone player Gato Barbieri and the both of them joined the tango tradition in the well known Orquestra Estable at the radio station El Mundo, where they met Astor Paizzolla, the well known composer of tango music in the Argentine.

So this morning, February 4 2008, where we seem to be blessed by the weather Gods with a day with some sunshine, however not visible at this moment around 8 Am, I present to you Dino T. Saluzzi on his album from the ECM Records 1985 "Once Upon A Time".

Have a great day guys.
