what's an enclosure?

well these are guys who were in their prime and in a key transitional phase in jazz;I mean, they were all using enclosures to ornament the chords.

Last Trane to Clarksville.

well, that might be a good thing....

this thread has appeared to me just as I've started to worry about all the music I'm missing. Some of this is a function of living in Shitsville; but it's also a matter of the expansion of music to the point that, eventually, to paraphrase Andy Warhol, everyone will record their 15 minutes of music. And the truth is that there is too much crap out there in every genre, jazz included, and I end up wasting my time on a lot of things which don't pan out. But it's necessary to make the effort. there's an Isaac Babel story: "You Must Know Everything." I tend to agree. I need a few years off and/or a subsidy to pursue a lot of it; won't happen, so I try to narrow the field and look for inspiration where I can find it.

"Do you smoke after sex?" "I don't know; I never looked"

love this: "the reality of the ‘sweating brow’ as a signifier of musical realness" is a typically astute Braxton observation. glad to hear about DiNovi - back in about 1976 I was at Dave Schildkraut's apartment and he played me some 78s that he and DiNovi had made on a self-recording machine direct to disc - amazing stuff, probably from the late 1940s or even a bit earlier - on some of it Dave sounded like Johnny Hodges - and then later very boppish. I begged him to give me those 78s to get them transferred, but he would not, and they're probably gone now, dammit -

now you're gonna get it - one additional question - will the LOC actually release a list of what this stuff is? Because I wanna know if they have Bing's B side (same melody, new lyrics: "I'm Cheating on My Wife Dixie").

it's really SMILING women with salad. I'm reporting every damn one of you. Where's Hans when I need him?

or since that time I stuck my weener in the microwave -

I'll give you $16

ok article but if I hear about that f*cking White Christmas one more time I'll call my Senator.

I haven't had that problem since I stopped shtupping Madame Curie -

get it if you don't have it - I insist.

from the title, I thought this thread was about, how shall I say it, women's problems......

crap is crap the myth that bad jazz will beget good jazz is just that, a myth. I've been hearing it since 1968.

Walk 'Em is on one of the later volumes of my blues anthology, if it ever gets issued - when I picked it I had no idea it might be Bolton, but there is, indeed, a trumpet solo on it.

why don't they give it to me?

that's an interesting performance of a typically terrible Leonard Feather lyric - it will appear on my anthology, as it was the only Vaughan blues I could find.

the key is under the pitbull.

Dizzy did write some early arrangements for Dorsey, and may even have sat in on a recording, IIRC. But I don't know the exact year (also, didn't the recording ban fall about then?). And Dameron was writing for that KC band even before then (can't think of the name right now; A La Bridges may have been one song he did for them; also had the pre-bop trombonist named Beckett). So yes, definitely, lots of interaction. (just found it - Harlan Leonard).

at my house -

I recently used the filter on that old disco thing, Love To Love You Baby, as I was preparing a tape for the church picnic. I was able to filter out the orgiastic moaning so well that even the Nuns were shakin' it. I have less luck on several of Hitler's speeches, though I did, in one, manage to clean it up so it could used on a PSA for The United Jewish Appeal.

strangely enough (and please don't ask me to locate it), I have also heard that "If You Could See Me Now" ending chord progression on a 1942 Jimmy Dorsey big band recording of an unrelated song. It's on a CDR somewhere in my basement, probably a vocal of some kind, also probably 1942, in the pre-bop era (so somebody got it from somebody).

I agree, even when a lot of it has been re-issued by third parties - it's like hiding the Mona Lisa and letting us look at a grainy photograph instead - we want the masters -
