I have been digitizing vinyl lately and probably have that on the brain. But it doesn't take away from the fact that hearing these old gems again has been a lot of fun. Bill, you've been on the list a long time, what are some of your favorites from the "old" days of the late 80's and early 90's? (Can you beleive LWNY is almost 20 years old?)

I have asked this to Marek Niedzwiecki and have not received reply. Besides I wonder how it looks like - cause from what the article says there will be over 10 artists/ groups during few hours concert in the center of Bydgoszcz - so how long would be an appereance of each? The article is really unclear to me - don't even know if tickets must be bought for both concert in the center and gala in the evening or just the gala? The festival does not even seem to have it's web - or at least I was not able to find it - which seems very unprofessional to me if - due to this festival - they want to call Bydgoszcz new capital of smooth jazz in Poland!

And nope, no Basia anywhere, nor Diana Krall, nor Anna Maria Jopek, nor Patricia Kaas, nor Kayah, nor Ewa Bem (nor some others) - I also don't see anything about that city center concert in the plan of the festival - just exhibition of photos from Australia by Marek Niedzwiecki and another exhibition. I don't think they would be negotiationg till the last moment! I guess that the article that you have found is just the same as the initial text from somewhere in February or even January, when they were writing about people that were invited and later I have seen it just kind of done with "Copy-Paste" method in several places. Not to mention that some of these artists that were mentioned in the initial article are really big format that would deserve the full length concert - than if all mentioned accepted the invitation the festival would have to be much longer than just one day (actually I have a feeling that it was intended for at least 2 firstly).

Never heard of Troy Tate. There seemed to be a website http://troytate.webs.com/ as well. I emailed the website owner to verify it, and he replied with hi as far as i know basia just did a few backing vocals on the troy tate album, she is listed on the album cover but doesnt say what she actually did. sorry if i cant help much cheers bob The website offers free download of the two albums. Of course I did, hoping to discover a new Basia gem :P . But so far I heard a human-leageu-roxy-music-talking-heads-thomson-twins kind of band with some female backing vocals. At one point I thought I might have found her, then to discover on the net it was Virginia Astley. So, so far I haven't recognized her. Have not heard the Basia I know. You can download the music here or listen to three songs of the album to get an impression of their style http://troytate.webs.com/tickettothedark.htm and http://troytate.webs.com/liberty.htm (Basia's voice should be on the first album). Leslie, do you know on what Phil Phearon & Galaxy song Basia is doing vocals?
