  1. We didn't really need to see that.
  2. The Chordettes Archie Bleyer Julius LaRosa
  3. A tour would be incredible. Out of that entire group, I've only seen DeJohnette live, so to see them all on one stage would be special. I have only seen/heard Jack a few times live but the others are in the dozens and beyond.
  4. For me Kenny Davern is the Bob Wilber of the clarinet.
  5. James Scales Abe Vigoda Tommy Vig
  6. The curved soprano is almost a different instrument to my hearing - more ballsy, fuller sound and thicker all hint at what I mean but don't nail it. Bob Wilber is a decent musician but his sound and recordings drive me up a wall. YMMV.
  7. I believe Jack is in search of funding to take this band on the road.
  8. This was posted on the Nessa facebook page earlier (check in, you don't really need to be a member): https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nessa-Records/164776050253630
  9. I think the "riot" was much like the reaction to Coltrane with Miles.
  10. Wish I could help. I did have the opportunity to see my child (Carla) dance in a performance of the Firebird when she was about 10. Her teacher was an elderly Russian woman in the Chicago area. Sorry for the derail.
  11. RCA's big Fritz Reiner box now $118.19 at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BT70J0Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .
  12. They still support Izod, no?
  13. Logging into PayPal in a minute. Thanks again.
  14. Can't believe Deodato or Don Sebesky passed this up.
  15. It was never easy to be Sonny Rollins or Cecil Taylor or Ornette Coleman. Why don't we all complain and pick apart their actions.
  16. I wanted to mention the Hungry Brain has run into some licensing issues and will close soon. Because of this there was a sort of melancholy mood from the musicians and audience. John Litweiler, Larry Kart and Bill Meyer were there too. I mentioned other musicians in the club - Jason Adasiewicz, Tomeka Reid, Josh Abrams, Mike Reed, James Falzone, Keefe Jackson and.... Maybe John or Larry will remember the ones I missed.
  17. Jeb Bishop was a surprise guest. The house was full of other musicians.
  18. Tonight Witches and Devils (Mars Williams, Josh Berman, Brian Sandstrom, Steve Hunt, Kent Kessler, Fred Lonberg- Holm and James Baker) at Hungry Brain. Ayler and Christmas songs - can't beat that.
  19. Jack had people with video equipment and conducted interviews with all the participants. He wanted everything documented.
  20. It was very fine as a performance - what I would expect from those folks. I am just curious about the way it will be programmed. I do know Jack was delighted after the performance.
