david weiss

Here's another... Lee didn't make this one however and Joe Newman subbed and according to Freddie, kicked ass.

That might explain why Jackson wasn't doing David Weiss' Golden Boy/Blakey Tribute show last weekend in New York then! Enjoy the show, Mike! Actually Jackson did do the Golden Boy thing but had to miss the night you were there to play with Les McCann at the Kennedy Center is Washington DC. Right after our gig he was off to Europe to join Ceder. Not a bad life I think.

Actually this is the personnel from our first CD from 1999 or 2000..... The group on this CD is David Weiss, Xavier Davis, Dwayne Burno, Nasheet Waits, Myron Walden, Jimmy Greene, and Steve Davis. If you are not familiar with Myron Walden and Jimmy Greene, I strongly recommend you check them out on something.

and another... I only have the trumpet ones scanned. I'll get to the others when I have a minute....

and another.....

Here's one.....

Thanks for the kind words Larry. The Cookers is a great experience for me and a lot of fun and quite intense but I do like to have my own stuff checked out as well.

Actually I think this something that was done about a month or so ago in Viersen, Germany. That was fast, it's on dime before the festival has even sent me a copy of the concert. I'm told it's up on youtube as well. Nice gig if I remember correctly but it was the first night of a tour, I always wish they would record or film us a couple of gigs into the tour especially when we are breaking in a new member (Kirk Lightsey was subbing for George Cables who was busy getting a new kidney) but that never seems to be the case.

These were an annual event for a few years and there was an annual trumpet one as well. One of the trumpet concerts came out as a Trip LP in the '70s and it was reissued by Fresh Sound a few years ago. I was asked to listen to it to identify the soloists and write the liner notes and I spoke to Jim Harrison who was one of the producers of these events. He gave me fliers to a lot of the shows (one was used for the cover of the Fresh Sound issue). I have these scanned but I've never been able to figure out how to upload anything here (I'm not good at that sort of thing). If someone can walk me through it or if someone is willing to do it for me (I can e-mail them) I'll be happy to post them or let them be posted.

I seem to recall going through a lot of Cooper's album at one time. The only ones that are still around the house are Rags and Music for Other Occasions so I going to say that those are the two I found to be the best. While on the subject of group members solo projects, I also have a Tim Hodgkinson CD called Each in Our Own Thoughts that is nice.

I was thinking it was on Tzadik and under Frith's name..... Is that possible or is my memory foggy and I'm think of another project altogether....

Bertrand, I'd have to go back and listen to the version on Standards again (which is the last thing I need to do until I finish this engagement) but from what I recall, I liked Pearson's arrangement as well but it was quite different. I think it's in a different key as well. I'll have a listen once this thing is over

No, we are not above criticism, not all at.... If it were the first time I wouldn't have said anything but this isn't the first time.....

I always liked Massacre.... For what I remember Ralph records recorded a trio of records with Frith each featuring a variety of already existing bands like The Muffins, Massacre, Etron Fou Le Loublan and some Swedish bands whose names I can't recall exactly and certainly wouldn't spell correctly. I think they were Gravity, Cheap at Half the Price and Speechless. I still have Speechless and think it was quite good. Never warmed to Gravity or Cheap at Half the Price though. I checked out the thing he did with the Rova Sax Quartet a few years back (during his serious composer phase) and I thought it was nice. I played with Frith and Cutler once when I was in college. It was an interesting experience, I was way to young but they were nice about it. When I was in high school, Frith was living in New York and I would see him playing around town in various configurations quite often. If I remember correctly his girlfriend was a bass player in an all girl rock band (they were pretty good too)

Is this really necessary? You know I'm a fellow board member and you have done this shit before, shouldn't you give a fellow board member a break. I come here to get away from this sort of crap. I don't come here and say Mancini is not Mancini without Mancini when you mention that gig or Getz/Gilberto is not..... You get the idea.... Wouldn't silence be more civilized.

The Blakey tribute also has Charles Fambrough and the great Louis Hayes on drums. The music will be from the record Golden Boy which Bu always said was his favorite record. If you don't know the record, it from 1963 or 64 and features the Jazz Messengers at the time (with Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard) with the addition of James Spaulding, Julius Watkins, Bill Barber (on tuba), and supposedly Pat Patrick on baritone sax (according to Curtis Fuller). The music is all music from the play Golden Boy, which had just opened on Broadway, arranged by Wayne Shorter, Cedar Walton and Curtis Fuller. The arrangements (especially Wayne's) are beautiful and I am painstakingly transcribing all this music for this gig. I'm sure this music has never been performed live and I thought it a good thing to present this stuff as, like I said earlier, the writing is really wonderful and I think it should be heard.

I think I went in 1981 or 82, right out of high school..... I remember Frank Lowe, Phillip Wilson, George Lewis, Jimmy Guiffre, Leo Smith, John Zorn, Eugene Chadbourne, Gary Windo, Pauline Oliveros, Peter Kowald and Jack DeJohnette along with Karl Berger of course. I think Tom Cora was on staff. There were others of course but I can't remember everyone. Great place, old Catskills resort or hotel near Woodstock. It was a great experience. Most helpful, Jimmy Guiffre and George Lewis. Least helpful, Jack DeJohnette who insisted on keeping things way over our heads and was annoyed at our questions.

Hopefully George will recover as well as he did last time and that this will be the last time he has to go through this. Kirk Lightsey subbed for George on our recent tour in Germany and Stanley Cowell will be with us in Baltimore. Hopefully George will be back with us soon. You can probably contact him through his web-site www.georgecables.com
