mikeweil Posted July 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I knew you'd be the first to post when I read your name in the viewers' list! Whatever pic you feel you have to post, here's the thread to do so. ... as long as it is related to Blue Note, of course, in any way.

Rooster_Ties Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 (edited) I only got to talk with Hill for about 2 minutes tops, and maybe only like 90 seconds. There were like a dozen other fans waiting for his autograph too, and wanting to get pictures of or with him. He was very nice, and (like I had heard in interviews with him), he spoke with a sort of herky-jerky stutter. Not that he has a stutter, in the medical/clinical sense - but rather, the cadence of his speech was highly 'broken-up' and fragmented. In fact, (and I can't take credit for this observation - it comes from Jason Moran), there are some definite similarities between the 'broken'-ness of Hill's melody lines (rhythmically speaking), and the broken-ness of Hill's own 'normal' manner of speech. Pretty cool observation, actually. He was very nice, and I was honored to have met him. He's one of my biggest heroes, right up there with Miles and Ellington, and Ornette and Sun Ra.

Michael Fitzgerald Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 He definitely does have a stutter. Sometimes it's more or less pronounced, in my experience. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 (edited) For the record, that picture of the freakazoid with the cats isn't me, never was me, and I have no idea who that guy even is. I just typed "happy birthday" into the Google image search function, saw something disturbing, and felt the need to share it with all of you. For instance, a quick Google image search on "freakazoid" reveals that there is, in fact, some sort of a minor pop-culture icon, who really is, well, a "Freakazoid!"!!! And I guess this is his theme-song... Edited July 24, 2003 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Looks like a good old minor blues. Make that #329 in the books for the next gig. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 At one point, Williams wrote an arrangement of "Scorpio," one of the movements from The Zodiac Suite, to feature three pianos: Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk and herself. This unrecorded arrangement offers moot testimony to Mary Lou Williams' adventurousness as a composer and arranger. http://newarkwww.rutgers.edu/ijs/mlw/modern_1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
