  1. I'd probably avoid a Marketplace thread.... B) The "outsiders" usually post in multiple threads anyway.
  2. Norma Morris is probably her real name.
  3. Absolutely not, but sometimes a recognition of the basic concepts used can be helpful.
  4. Gee, over 50 "views" since I posted the previous message last night and it seems to have stopped the thread.
  5. Look again.
  6. Richard B Hadlock gives it 3 stars and calls it a "transitional' recording for Morgan.
  7. Saw the big band last year and it bored me to death. Charts, solos, etc. I do not get it.
  8. Can't tell you how impressed I was the first time I saw Randy leave the drum kit and play harmonica. I knew he was a fine drummer but didn't realize he was a musician too! Happiest of B-Days Randy.
  9. Warne also does the same thing with pitch. Some insight to his rigorous methods is reflected in Pete Christlieb's notes to the Criss Cross disc called Conversations With Warne vol 1: "One day he played something very melodic and dissonant at the same time while offsetting or displacing the phrase in double time feel. 'How do you do that?' I asked him. He said 'You don't want to get involved, it will only confuse you.' He did however agree to write out a lesson plan for me to look at later. The plan called for a phrase to be composed four bars long and memorized. You start the metronome at a reasonable tempo and begin playing your phrase an eighth of a beat later. Now start your phrase on the quarter and so on. Be sure to take plenty of change along with you to phone home. Designed to develop your mental dexterity, this exercise was set aside because it was, in fact, confusing to me at the time, I needed to be fluent and uninhibited." This all sounds really cold, but Warne felt the more you know, the closer you can come to pure "expression of feelings" and he took great care to let you know "feelings" and "emotion" are distinct things.
  10. As someone raised on a farm with cows and as the father of a daughter, I "take the fifth".
  11. I think you're on your own, Jim.
  12. Copyright, designated by C in a circle covers photos, design and text - P in a circle covers the musical content. That's why you see both on records/cds from the mid '70s on.
  13. JohnS and Lazaro were talking about a different Savoy Shepp/Dixon. It was a quartet date form late '62 with Don Moore/Reggie Workman - bass and Paul Cohen/Howard McRae - drums. The Workman/McRae tandem play on one of the four tracks. Wonderful date never on cd 'cause Dixon owns the masters.
  14. I don't know the month but Down Beat reviewed it in 1963.
  15. No problem here 'cept the freakin' idiots yelling at me for shooting off the $800 worth of stuff I bought in Indiana.
  16. Charles Tyler - Sixty Minute Man and Saga of the Outlaws.
  17. In reality, the "h" was/is silent. Don't count on Bu for pronunciations either.
  18. Nice to see mention of Donald Clarke's work. Donald has been a great friend since 1970 and I urge the reading of ALL his books.
  19. Yup, I'm sure Jim nailed it.
  20. Yes, welcome. Happy to see you here. I hope you choose to enter the discussions.
  21. I ran a search in Bruyninckx (complete thru S only) and found dates with Georgie Auld in the mid forties and a live date with Big Chief Russell Moore in 1980.
  22. Ray Stokes Trio : Ray Stokes (p) Wilson Myers (b,vcl) Buddy Christian (d) New York, January 3, 1945 BW59 Stokin' the boogie Black & White 11 BW60 Blues for Clarence Profit 12 BW61 Preachin' blues (wm vcl) 11 BW62 The little goose 12 From Bruyninckx.
  23. Duh! Do you think I don't know anything? Please tell me your experiences.
  24. The acetate is destroyed in the plating process. You have to go back to the tape and make a new one. In the old days this was called remastering.
