I'm not familiar with this artist. Would you please tell me which one or two of his earlier titles you recommend? Thanks in advance.

A founding member of The Jazz Passengers, trombonist Curtis Fowlkes has passed away from congestive heart failure. I first heard him with the Lounge Lizards. He also worked with Charlie Hunter, Roy Nathanson, Don Byron, Bill Frisell and many others.

Thanks for sharing that, Dan. Very moving.

Never a fan, but I respected the community of fans he built around his music and values. Jimmy Buffett, legendary 'Margaritaville' singer, dies at 76

No such errors in the files I downloaded (not from Qobuz). I'd contact Qobuz. Good luck!

Sounds like late-night tamales to me.

Olivia Newton-John on heroin?

More like the case should be dismissed with prejudice for a lack of evidence. 🥸

The National Kid Mullet Contest is back!

No. You accuse Snidero of saying something without any proof. Whether or not you agree with this false statement is irrelevant. Exactly! A language used to create a narrative. Everyone's narrative is slightly different, but these stories often contain similar themes, phrases, timing, etc. that speak to shared experiences. At least that's how I listen to the music and connect to an artist.

That someone would be me. Here's your original statement: I asked you for proof that he made such an outlandish claim. You said you heard it on the radio and told me to search the station's archives for it. I did that and more and found nothing. Your comeback? "I heard it on the radio". You then went on to make the same claim on another forum, and I replied with the following: [QUOTE=jazzshrink;1263299]You've made this same claim on other forums over the past year or so. I don't believe that's what he said and when I inquired, you couldn't provide a link to your source. So, I did some research of my own and found this recent Snidero interview in which he said: "There’s often a misunderstanding when it comes to jazz improvisation, that somehow you’re making it all up as you’re going along out of thin air. I am part of a tradition established by the greatest jazz improvisors - Bird, Miles, Coltrane, Rollins, etc … - which is that there is plenty of pre-conceived material that is used when improvising. You hear it time and again on recordings of jazz greats, the same language on multiple recordings. The trick is to be in the moment, listen, react, and most importantly, be musical. There will be times that you play something that you’ve played many times before, times when you’re playing variations of things you’ve played before, and times when you play something entirely new. It’s about how you put it together and how in the moment you are when improvising." I hope you'll agree that this statement is not the same as "the top players didn't improvise".[/QUOTE] Your response? [QUOTE=sgcim;1263478]That's not what he said in the interview. He said that they played the exact same things that they played on the out takes. He called it the "great secret about jazz improvisation". He was only referring to the Miles Davis group with Trane at the time. What you[re saying sounds more reasonable.[/QUOTE] So, now you're here peddling the same crap, claiming: "someone disagreed with me by posting another interview with him, in which he said the same thing, but phrased it differently." What happened to "What you're saying sounds more reasonable."? I don't understand you, sgcim. You're an accomplished musician, arranger, etc. Snidero's description of the improvisation process in the print interview is spot on, imo. I would think someone with your experience would recognize this, and seriously question what you thought you hear him say on the radio. At the very least, I hope it would discourage you from spreading misinformation without providing any proof beyond, "I heard it."

NBC notice

Would you kindly cite an example where Woods plays baritone sax? I'd like to hear it for myself. Thanks.

Accusation, or question?

Thanks for clarifying, Mark.

Thanks for the heads up.

Reflectory is hardcover, whereas Saxophone Trailblazer is paperback (smaller print). Different publishers, different titles?

Why are the Red Sox wearing yellow? Explaining Boston's MLB City Connect uniforms for 2023 The Red Sox's City Connect jerseys pay tribute to the Boston Marathon, the city's most recognizable annual event. The famous Patriots' Day road race utilizes yellow and blue as its main colors. Although I'm not partial to the yellow and blue, the Sox are 19-4 overall when they're wearing them. And you know how superstitious baseball players can be.

Isn't this just a paperback version of Carner's 2021 biography, Reflectory: The Life and Music of Pepper Adams ?
