Like to give a public THANK YOU to AC member Mick Wolfe. Got a PM from Mick to inquire if I would like an additional copy of "Scales" by The Manfred Schoof Quintet on ECM*. I said yes and in 4 days it arrived. The record is flawless and Mick even paid for the postage. He musta really been anxious to get rid of that one, huh? Jez kidding, Mick. A big thank you for contacting me and for the record. It's probably damn near priceless in the condition it's in and a personal favorite. No record to my knowledge has acoustic bass or ensemble playing like this. This is a real quintet in that all five players are recognizably contributing improv throughout. And, its melodious.
*Germany's Jazz Record of the Year by what EU publication I don't know exactly.
, Mick.
