# Exclusively for My Friends

| Allmusic | |
Exclusively for My Friends is a series of originally six albums for the MPS label by Canadian jazz pianist Oscar Peterson. The album tracks were recorded live by Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer for MPS on the occasion of private concerts with a small audience in his home studio. The albums have been collected in different box sets over the years.

## Recording and release

Recording took place in six separate sessions between 1963 and 1968 in different trio settings as well as with Peterson playing solo. The recordings include performances with his most well-known trio consisting of double bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen and also teams him with bassist Sam Jones and drummers Louis Hayes or Bobby Durham. While around 60 tracks were recorded, only 37 were initially released in five trio albums and one solo album, the first in Peterson's career. The titles on each album were often selected from different recording sessions. Peterson was personally involved in selecting and editing the tapes. Due to contractual reasons, the albums were not released before 1968.
In 1992, the series was re-released as a four CD box set by MPS (and by Verve in the US) which included all recordings of the six original albums. In 1995, the release of the compilation Exclusively for My Friends: The Lost Tapes added twelve previously unreleased tracks to the collection. The constituent albums were also available as individual CDs.
MPS released remastered versions of the original albums as a six LP box set in 2014. One year later, an eight CD box set followed that collected the six albums plus two volumes of Lost Tapes, adding another ten tracks to the overall release group which were personally selected by Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer for release shortly before his death in 2004.
The Penguin Guide to Jazz includes the albums in its "Core Collection".

# Ablabys

Ablabys is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes, waspfishes belonging to the subfamily Tetraroginae, which is classified as part of the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes and their relatives. The fishes in this genus are found in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.

## Taxonomy

Ablabys was first formally described as a genus in 1873 by the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup. In 1966 the Australian ichthyologist Gilbert Percy Whitley designated Apistus taenianotus, which had been described by Georges Cuvier in 1829 from the Mascarene Islands, as the type species of the genus. The genus is included in the subfamily Tetraroginae within the Scorpaenidae in the 5th edition of Fishes of the World however other authorities place that subfamily within the stonefish family Synanceiidae, while other authorities classify this subfamily as a family in its own right. The genus name Ablabys derives from the Greek ablabes, which means "harmless", Kaup did not explain this but it may refer to "blunt armament of the head" as this genus has blunter head spines in comparison to related genera.

## Species

There are five recognized species are in this genus:
* Ablabys binotatus (W. K. H. Peters, 1855) (redskinfish)
* Ablabys gymnothorax Chungthanawong & Motomura, 2018 (scaleless spiny waspfish)
* Ablabys macracanthus (Bleeker, 1852) (spiny waspfish)
* Ablabys pauciporus Chungthanawong & Motomura, 2018 (lesser-scaled cockatoo waspfish)
* Ablabys taenianotus (G. Cuvier, 1829) (cockatoo waspfish)

Overall, he called the album "Interesting but not overly memorable". John Fordham of The Guardian stated: "This is Cassandra Wilson in 1990, two years after her powerful standards album Blue Skies, and three before she turned to the rootsy, blues-based folk-jazz she still pursues variations on today."

They owned Chlumec until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1850. In that year, the name was changed to Vysoký Chlumec to distinguish it from other places with the same name. The castle was confiscated from the Lobkowicz family by the Nazis in World War II, then again by the state in 1948.

# Andries Strauss

Andries Strauss born 5 March 1984 in Pretoria, South Africa is a former rugby union player that played as a centre.

## Career
### Free State Cheetahs

After playing for the Free State Under-20 side in 2003, he was included in the senior side for the 2004 Vodacom Cup competition and made his debut for them in a match against the Falcons. He made his Currie Cup debut for the team later in 2004 against the SWD Eagles. He remained with the Bloemfontein-based side until the end of the 2005 season, before moving to Durban to join the Sharks.

### Sharks

He made his Super Rugby debut in the Sharks', starting in opening match of the 2006 Super 14 season against the Chiefs. He quickly established himself as a regular, starting twelve of the Sharks' matches during the season.
He represented the teams at all levels – playing for the Sharks at Super Rugby level in 2006, 2008 and 2009, domestically for the Sharks in the Currie Cup between 2006 and 2010 and for the Natal Wildebeest in the 2007 and 2008 Vodacom Cup competitions, making in excess of one hundred appearances for the team at those various levels.

### Return to the Cheetahs

In August 2010, Strauss signed a deal with the Cheetahs for the 2011 Super 15 season, due to the departure of Cheetahs centre Meyer Bosman who joined the Sharks the next season. In 2011 and 2012 Strauss made almost 40 appearances for the Cheetahs in Super Rugby and the Currie Cup and also played with his cousin Adriaan Strauss during this time.

### Kings

He joined the Southern Kings for the 2013 Super Rugby season. He made his Kings debut in their first-ever Super Rugby match in 2013, a 22–10 victory over Australian side the Force. He started thirteen of their sixteen matches during the season – most of them as captain following an injury to regular captain Luke Watson. However, Strauss broke his hand towards the end of the campaign and missed the 2013 Super Rugby promotion/relegation play-offs, which saw the Lions gain entry into the 2014 Super Rugby season at the Kings' expense. He also missed the entire 2013 Currie Cup First Division season with the same injury.

### Edinburgh

He signed for Scottish side Edinburgh Rugby at the start of 2014, tying him to the club until 2016. His first points for the club came during a Pro12 encounter with Cardiff Blues the following November.

### Representative rugby

In November 2010, after an injury to stand-in full-back and centre Zane Kirchner, Strauss received a call-up to play for the Springboks to face a star-studded Barbarians side at Twickenham in a non-test match. Although it was a non-test match, this thus far, is his only appearance for the national team.
At youth level, he played for the South Africa Under-21 side, playing two matches for them in the 2004 Under 21 Rugby World Championship. He also represented the South Africa Sevens side during the 2006–07 IRB Sevens World Series competition.

## Personal life

Strauss is the brother of Irish international hooker Richardt Strauss, as well as the cousin for South African international hooker Adriaan Strauss.
