I think Blue Note is doing something clever here by presenting real jazz, including from advanced material, as part of Bonnaroo, whcih is arguably one of the two leading current music festivals in the US. Maybe they can do this at Coachella next year. And most of them aren't even Blue Note acts. ------------------------------------- Blue Note Records and Ropeadope have teamed up to launch The Finest In Jazz, a new line of apparel and compilation albums that celebrate the music and image of such classic Blue Note artists as Thelonious Monk, Jimmy Smith, Grant Green and Lee Morgan.

Andrew Hill - Change The protean pianist/composer Andrew Hill has enjoyed a renaissance of late. His challenging compositions and unique style have garnered a late-blooming acknowledgement of his genius. Change, featuring saxophonist Sam Rivers, bassist Walter Booker, and drummer J.C. Moses, combines six tracks which first appeared on Rivers' 1979 Involution disc and two tracks which have only appeared on a large Mosaic set. At the time of recording the Change session was given a catalog number, edited and sequenced but never released. The entire 1966 session appears here in its complete form for the first time. Frank Foster - Manhattan Fever Tenor saxophonist Frank Foster was one of the stalwarts of the Basie band from 1953-64, and led it after the Count's death. Stepping out of the shadow of Basie, Foster proved himself a talented leader. Tracks 1-6 were released in 1968 and feature the saxophonist in a swinging sextet. The second session, a nonet augmented by a second reed player, has been in the vaults since it was recorded in early 1969, and offers a fresh look at one of jazz's most versatile tenor players. Jimmy Smith - Straight Life Sometimes the vaults of Blue Note are like Ali Baba's cave. The treasures on this disc have been sitting in the vaults since they were recorded on June 22, 1961 and are released here for the first time. Smith's trio became one of the most popular groups in jazz in the late '50s/early-'60s, with Smith virtually inventing the modern organ sound. With guitarist Quentin Warren and drummer Donald Bailey, Smith burns through a series of standards and originals in a session which was recorded just before Smith exploded as a national star on the pop and R&B charts. Kenny Cox - Introducing Kenny Cox and The Contemporary Jazz Quintet This CD features one of the least typical jazz ensembles in the Blue Note catalog and one of its most critically popular. Kenny Cox is a pianist from Detroit who built his chops on the local scene, backing up visiting touring artists and hitting the road for three years with Etta Jones. Blue Note A&R head and pianist Duke Pearson heard about Kenny and The Contemporary Jazz Quintet via a Detroit disc jockey. He flew there in late 1968 and recorded their first session, tracks 1-6 on this newly-remastered CD. The last tracks on the CD appeared as the group's second LP, Multidirection, recorded in Detroit in November of 1969. Stanley Turrentine - A Bluish Bag Tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine's tenure with Blue Note produced an eye-popping variety of sessions, from big band to organ trio and mined a wide variety of musical styles. His work with pianist/arranger Duke Pearson was particularly fertile ground for both artists. Featuring two different 10-piece bands, the first seven tracks were released on two long-out-of-print LPs in the late-'70s, and the last five tracks are gems from the second session issued here for the first time.

Does it differ in some sinister way from all of the other large outdoor music festivals? Seriously, I am curious. Your post seems to me to insinuate that there is something evil going on there. What is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donald petersen Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 how can they get all this money to get all these acts? i have a strong feeling there is some big-time religious BS behind this and when the tripping kids are in the "recovery" tent, they are getting an earful of jesus talk. sort of like a right-wing version of the rainbow family bus.

sal Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 how can they get all this money to get all these acts? i have a strong feeling there is some big-time religious BS behind this and when the tripping kids are in the "recovery" tent, they are getting an earful of jesus talk. sort of like a right-wing version of the rainbow family bus. I've been to Bonnaroo, and had to take someone to one of those "recovery" tents, and she got nothing but some water and a bed to lay down on. No Jesus talk, no lectures, no nothing. So your paranoia is unfounded. The reason they get all that money to get those huge acts is because its been an extremely well put together festival since its inception, and year after year it turns out to be a positive experience for everyone involved. Like I've stated before in other threads, its a fantastic festival, especially for its size, because practically everyone there is there for the music first. Yeah, people party and some get crazy, but given a festival that size where there's tens of thousands of people, and you have as few incidents as they do, that's saying something. I think that this jazz tent that Blue Note is putting together is a good idea, and if its put together as well as everything else at the festival, it should serve a good purpose at this mostly-rock festival.

Hot Ptah Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 From my experiences at these outdoor festivals, if someone was preaching the gospel of Jesus to some kids, they would likely be too impaired by some controlled substance or another to remember anything that was said. Or else they would be monumentally unimpressed by the conversion talk. Absent some type of advanced brainwashing techniques involving physical pain, I doubt that any message of any type would get through to most people at these outdoor festivals.

md655321 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 The only time Jesus is mentioned at Bonnaroo is when people are openly mocking him. I've been all 5 years so far. Of course, the year I decide not to go they have a jazz club! Additionally. Ornette Coleman and James Blood Ulmer are playing (although not together...maybe) Should be an amazing time. Don, I am not sure whet the hell you are talking about or where you get your information from. Im guessing you have earned a few too many trips to the medical tent. As for where they get the money? How about 80,000 people spending 200 bucks a ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
