marcoliv Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 just a quick note about Airto Moreira and the eye-ear-toe thing the A on this case does not sound like "eye" and the "toe" is incorrect too. i'm attaching a wav file with the correct sound as i know a little bit of portuguese Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel A Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I agree with Marcus that it would be a stretch to say it sounds like "eye" and "toe". I'm not really good at English phonetic transcription, but how about "Ah-ihr-tooh"? And "the speaker in the clip" - might I guess that it is señor Marcus himself?

ghost of miles Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Mike Mainieri? (Vibraphonist on some of the Buddy Rich Mosaic set... love his playing, although I understand he later traveled a rather commercial path.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 main-ee-AIR-ee? Commercial, yes, but tasty commercial. I think I prefer his "commercial" prodction work (like Carly simon's Torch and "fusion" playing (Steps Ahead in particular) to his "straight ahead" playing. If you find your voice, go where it leads you no matter what, dig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdanddizzy Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 main-ee-AIR-ee? I second that. Or I would guess : "May-ain-AIR-ee", that's what we would say, here in France... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 DJ friend of mine writes: “main---------------near----------------------ee” That’s the way Buddy pronounced it anyway. Hey Jim, I hear ya--I'll have to check out the later records. I remember a biographer once quoting an exchange between a journalist and a scholar--referring to a certain poet, the journalist asked, "But isn't he sentimental?" and the scholar said, "Well, yes, but that's his inspiration. If he weren't sentimental, he wouldn't be a poet." Or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Yeah, I'm really starting to get sick (and tired!) of stuff getting dissed simply because of what it is. Not for how well is is or isn't what it is, but simply because it is what it is. Such presumptiveness to presume that there is only one (or just a few) ways to be "great" or "beautiful" or (even) "hip"! It's a big freakin' world, ya'know, and there's probably more beauty and happiness in it than we realize (a lot of it on the "small" side, sure, but a lot of smalls can add up to one big, if you let it...), simply because we're more concerned with trying to get appreciation than with showing it. That's a dead end street as far as I'm concerned, and it's really something I've been examining within myself lately. Easier said than done, I know, but that's just the way that shit goes...

marcoliv Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) me again! Ah-sump-cow is not good specially the "cow" sound because the correct spelling is Assunção Neh-vez makes Neves to sound too spanish which is not accurate too i'll post later a wav file with both names Marcus Edited May 18, 2006 by marcoliv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I still dislike Kenny G. But i will fight to the, um, discomfort my father's right to listen to it if he so desires. Unless I'm actually in the same room hearing it as well...

AllenLowe Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 sorry I'm a little late to this but I actually had a few conversations with Melle when I was working on my book - he did pronounce it as May-Lay - but maybe this is old news - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
