likely.

I've very eagerly anticipated this for years - just reading the intro and am confused by the following: "The Daly residence was a salon for modern ideas. The room even had its own exit" - what room DOESN'T have it's own exit? will keep reading, however.

still waiting for mine - almost forgot I ordered it.

one strange thing that I don't think he gets is the "body parts donated." I may be wrong but I don't think there were organ donors back then; I wonder if this means the bodies themselves were entirely donated for something like medical research - if so, there are other issues, because the county was basically saying "if we bury you we can also do whatever else we want with your body." Another way of discriminating against the poor and colored back in the good old days. looking this up, I am now certain that they were not organ donors in the sense we consider it now - since this science was in its infancy then, and not really perfected until the late 1960s.

give 'em the Kafka treatment -

he actually was missing only from the lower leg (maybe the ankle, it's been years since he showed me) down - by the way, the pianist in that '80s Murray Octet, at least that I've seen on Youtube clips, was Curtis Clarke, who for some strange reason is now living here in Portland, Maine.

I actually think the nastiness has declined significantly in the last year. "It's easier to criticize a moderator for making a decision than it is to try and understand why the decision was been. " actually, in this place it's very difficult to criticize a moderator. Decisions are rarely changed. I just don't worry about it anymore.

this is amazing - there had been theories that his name was Phelps, or that he died in Florida. This man was one of the greatest American musicians of the 20th century.

Fitzgerald? one of the Jazz world's great censors -

look out for his latest: "I Don't Want to set the World Trade Center on Fire (I Just Want to Start a Little Flame in Your Heart)" -

well, I did come up with this news photo of Frank coming out of the Museum of Modern Art -

you're asking me? I couldn't pass High School physics. Try Nessa; he's the Einstein clone.

well, Chris, if you read the notes he wrote to the new Uptown Charlie Christian CD, you'll see that he had apparently lost his faculties in recent years - they are almost incoherent. The photo gods work in mysterious ways. actually, I heard he was killed in a dark room explosion -

picture that..................

it's stuff from New Tango (my CD) which was recorded at the Knitting Factory, and from my first CD At The Moment of Impact. There's supposed to be a multi-cd retrospective of my stuff in the next year or so, and there's some incredible Julius from those sessions. Nothing previously unissued, just not readily available.

any Hemphill is good - just as an FYI, we may be reissuing, in 2012 (or 2013) some of the tracks we recorded with Julius at the Knitting Factory and other places in the 1990s.

if we made all members moderators, and made sure that each had the ability to: 1) lock threads 2) delete posts of anyone 3) edit posts of anyone THEN - we'd start having some REAL fun.

he left his heel print on the cover.

I think it was Crouch and Wynton -

just to note - playing the samples on the Amazon site - they're out of order and listed incorrectly.

"Designed to go on while people are doing something else. " Personally, and I am not joking, I have found ways to have my own music go on even as I do something else. Worst of both possible worlds? The wave of the jazz future?

privately I have sent Larry a list of 19 prior threads I would also like unlocked.

actually that has the bonus un-listed track - Wynton's interview with Buddy Bolden,

personally I ignore the ignore function. If I keep it on I imagine that everyone is saying bad things about me.

there's actually a new forum rule: No More Threads on Closed Threads. So I am closing this thread. You're all grounded.
