So then, I promised something special for x-mas - two shows by the great Sonny Simmons!
I uploaded them on dime, too (I got them from there, edited them for my own pleasure but put up my edited versions again, too). Now they're here in MP3 @ 320 (I hope that suits everyone, FLAC would just be too much work with my relatively slow connection).
More to come soon, so don't miss to visit again in a few days!

that is surprising thanks for seeding and uploading these magnificent and essential concerts, i got these in a dvd trade with boromir, who is a dime member and would recommend strongly that they be immediatly downloaded.. both very strong concerts the trio is in especially great sound.
also thanks for the great lester young series and the many other gems on offer here.
Thanks sotise - glad to hear you like them! I hope you got my edited versions from boromir? The duo was untracked and on one set, one channel was almost inaudible, while the trio had quite some more of the annoying radio talk - I found both shows so good that I edited them and offered them on dime again in that form!
I never heard about this Sonny&Sunny duets ... thanks a lot ubu
hope you'll enjoy! just please don't eat too many potatoes! ;-)
great, great, keep this beautiful music on

These Sonny Simmons posts have become ritual listening for me. JJ Avenel makes that bass sing like he and Sonny are having a conversation.
Wonderful post.
Fantastic blog.
