All Activity

I saw her at Newport a few years back and she did the same thing. I understand what she was trying to do but it didn't work for me. I am not in the "shut up and play" crowd but there are times when an artist should give the audience what they came for.

TTK, is her show's music similar to yours? Maybe these will interest her. April 27 Kirby Stone - 1918 Connie Kay - 1927 Anouk Aimee (A Man and a Woman) - 1932 Jim Keltner - 1942 Sheena Easton - 1959 I'll keep looking.

cdjapan order due to coupon offer and noticing the first item in stock:

I'm not familiar with her, but IIRC (and I often don't) she has some fans here who might be interest in this review: https://thebluemoment.com/2024/04/26/matana-roberts-at-the-roundhouse/

I didn't know it won any Oscars! Being almost totally out of touch with popular culture. 🙄 Noticed it upcoming at semi-local art house theater and thought it worth a shot. On further reflection, indeed an amazing film. In real time I found it kind of disorienting and other-worldly, but the more I reflect, the more highly I regard it.

See notes 'About the tunes' by Claus Jacoby (ts, as, cl, voc) ... Red Roseland Cornpickers & Keith Nichols & Bent Persson – Red Hot Band. Stomp Off Records – S.O.S. 1153 [1987]

Original LP

OK (as is often the case) I was wrong. Buchnamm-Moller does list it. However in the index he just refers to it as "A Little Bit South of North Carolina". He confirms all of the above but adds that he got the info from Lee Young. BTW Does anyone have a source for a digital or cd version of the Everybody's Lp?

I just tried to search for that Joe Dixon cassette tape and interview that I mentioned last time, and the search engine doesn't seem to work. I tried to register with the university, but that doesn't seem to work either. Do I have to register with them before I can do a search?

April 26 Ma Rainey - 1886 Jimmy Giuffre - 1926 Jorgen Ingmann - 1925 Francis Lai - 1932 Duane Eddy - 1938 Maurice Williams - 1938 Bobby Rydell - 1942 Gary Wright - 1943 ***** Also a favorite of mine, radio actor Vic Perrin - 1916

Some Terrific music here.

Original LP

Thanks, Niko! Anyway, that he recorded "for" Coronet seems a bit of a stretch.

Abdul Zahir Batin & The Notorious Ensemble – Live At The Jazz Cultural Theatre

IIRC it's not really complete, but rather a collection of what had been previously released as individual albums put into chronological order. If I do remember correctly I wonder if there is more unreleased material. ( just looked at the liner notes and they claim that this is "all known" recordings from the date but I doubt that they had access to the Contemporary vaults.) Nevertheless a great set and I'm just being greedy.

Wish I’d been able to see the actual exhibition, but the catalogue’s the next-best thing:

An amazing film which I thought was richly deserving of its oscar wins, *especially* for sound.

The 10th jubilee anniversary event of the Blue Roseland Orchestra from Göttingen, lead by Claus Jacobi, with international guest bands in 1978, was the beginning of the yearly Göttingen Jazzfestival - Allan Praskin (as) may remember that! Blue Roseland Orchestra – Jubilee. Auviton – AU 2020 A [1978]

Haven't listened to this one in too long

I am glad to own it; is it as great as the Turrentine collaborations on BN? Probably not.
