Kind of an oddball example, but even more than the others Dickey wasn't one to be put in just one box.

Yes, it's ironic that most of these 'the world is dumbing down' narratives are themselves quite simplistic and naive.

Atlantic recorded some classic New Orleans players in the '50s. I have some but not all. Henry Red Allen made some very nice albums in the late '50s and early '60s, but although his roots in New Orleans were deep (his father ran a brass band in the 19th century) these are not strictly traditional in approach. I'm particularly fond of Ride Red Ride on RCA with Coleman Hawkins as a sideman.

Grant Green also did Betcha by Golly Wow and Freddie and Bobby Hutcherson each did nice renditions of People Make the World Go Round Ray Charles rendition of One Mint julep is probably the best remembered now, but Freddie did it before that and the Clovers did it first, so I think it's squarely within this topic.

Yes, I was disappointed the WSQ didn't do that on their R&B album, just take the voices directly from vocal group performances and transfer them to the horns. Bill Frisell et al doing the Delphonics' La La La La La La Means I Love You, I love this but as far as I know there's no official hard copy product. I think this was the final tune of an otherwise fairly standard (for them) set list.

Just consult the discography, notice the ever-shifting connections of who played on what, and listen. Although it helps to know who wrote what which most discographies don't tell you. But the album credits do. and the liner notes make a great as it happened serial version of the history. I haven't been impressed by any of the standalone books I've seen.

Just sent my $ to Allen, looking forward to hearing this. Keep up the good work.

Even I don't dislike Ethan that much! Thanx for making me laugh...

Since that box does not contain the final mix of Go Ahead John form Big Fun but does have some raw takes of section of it, I made a CD-R that had it all. Played it in the car for years.

I think there was a dbl CD version from his website with even more, but I think those were on a separate Ace CD, IIRC which I probably don't.

That's a great album, I even enjoy the bonus tracks on my CD of it, some of which weren't even issued at the time.

Did they work for others? Yes, Lou Donaldson, Don Wilkerson, also Patton albums with and without added horns. Yes, but the Red Garland trio albums on Prestige had Art Taylor drumming instead of Philly Joe.

They are always literature IMHO. Not always great or even good literature, but that's an entirely different question. I don't think of them as poetry or prose, they're lyrics, their own kind of literature.

Since I was having technical difficulties, Felser kindly offered to help me get a track posted. So, I sent them a list to pick from: Fish Scale (youtube.com) David Grisman Quintet, Fish Scale All The Way (youtube.com) King Curtis, All the Way The Wind Cries Mary (youtube.com) Geri Allen & the Batson Brothers, The Wind Cries Mary from 3 Pianos For Jimi I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good) (youtube.com) Red Garland, I Got It Bad from Red Alone J. Zorn, B. Frisell, G. Lewis - 11. Ole (More News For Lulu, 1992) (youtube.com) and they picked the Geri Allen track as one they could do. It happened to be the most recent one (1998). The three pianos don't necessarily all play at once all the time. This is not necessarily my favorite track, but the others I liked were longer. I'm glad people liked it. I've been aware of Ms. Allen's work since near the start of her career, although I didn't always follow it as closely as I might have. Her early demise was a great loss. I don't know much else about the Batson Brothers besides their work here.

I think Don Was is doing well with BN: high quality product both new and reissued, and they work the hype to get attention for their product without being too over the top. I might or might not be interested in whatever Wayne might be forthcoming.

I don't think either of those would be a legit use of de-mixing, they meant to do that whether you like it or not. Just as taking the electric saw off that one track on Lee Morgan's last album was bogus, regardless of how you feel about musical saws. However, it would be legit to take the screaming idiot in the audience off of Elvis C at the Elmo.

I love all that, screw you.

Thanx!

Thanks, I'll have to check that out. I was thinking more that someone in the Porter/Arlen/Rodgers axis had tried their hand a longform composition, but I could be mis-remembering.

Glad you liked it, I hoped it would be a pleasant surprise for some.
