168.0. "Flim and the BB's" by MARCIA::GSCOTT () Thu Aug 15 1985 12:07

I would like to reccomend Flim and the BB's "Tricycle" to any Jazz fans. This
is an excellent recording with a wide dynamic range, ~60 minutes of music, all
instrumentals, recorded on Mitsu all-digital equipment. In fact the DMP label
(Digital Music Productions) is recorded all-digital and has about 60 minutes of
music per CD. 

Is there any place (non-mail order, Eastern Mass) where I can get Flim and the
BB's other two CD's?  One of them is called "Tunnel" and I forget the name of
the other one.

Discount Records in Harvard square.  Saturday, all their disks were on sale
for 12.99, normal price ~$16 - Coop charges $20 (when they wern't having
a 20% off sale).

The recording is very good, although I DID hear hiss (from microphone pre-
amps, or CD line amp?).  I thought the music was mearly OK - the use of dynamics
can become "schmaltzy" as is the case with many Telarc recordings.

Try Goodwin's in Cambridge (JFK Boulevard) -- I just got a copy of Tunnel 
there.

    I have 'Shades of Gray' by Billy Barber.  It's on the DMP label
    too.  It's a disc of 52 minutes of piano solos and I mention it
    here because Billy Barber is the pianist in Flim and the BB's.
    
    Does BB stand for Billy Barber?

    > Does BB stand for Billy Barber?
    
    Yes. In fact, one of the other BB's has "BB" for his initials (I
    don't recall the name, though). The last BB's initials are some-
    thing different though (again, I don't recall the name).
