"Characters abound ..and periodically bounce off the walls...Lowe, Clementine....."
I rather picture myself as Organissimo's version of Superman, appearing only as needed to ward off evil.
-
don't put down that Lester Young record - it was Dave Schildkraut's favorite -
-
so, I read about 1/3 of the book last night -
excellent work, non-doctrinaire (surprisingly, considering some of the people he mentions in the acknowledgments), and a very insightful bio.
I like it. And it's well-written, to boot. Highly recommended. Will be the standard for years to come.
(hoping that last one ends up on the book jacket; I could use the publicity) -
-
well, Johnny's incomparable -
Bixie is more...irreparable -
-
bumping for the night shift - first 15 people who show up and mention Organissimo get a free scrungy.
-
question - do you guys pronounce it
Shos TOK o vich or
shos to KO vich ?
-
it's like the old saying: it's better to be pissed off than pissed on -
-
well, the classic T Bone sound came from P90s, out of phase -
-
just a note for our California and European members, that you will probably not get to see me when I do a talk on Wednesday, October 14, at the Rutgers Institute of Jazz Studies, in Newark, NJ, on my blues project.
starts at 7 PM - FREE
not sure what I'm going to say. I might wait until the drugs take effect.
-
just brought my copy home - has a very nice type face -
-
just called the local Border's and they're holding a copy for me - will report back, too (though I refuse to read the book until he tells me what the D and the G stand for) -
-
sorry, thought Dankworth had died -
-
note the low ohmage - in this day of ceramic pickups that blast along at 10-15 k, the great thing about the old pickups (and as I mentioned I have a P90 which is about 6k) is that, at lower power, you can get more volume and character to the sound before it breaks up, especially on low power amps - it gives you that nice, edge-of-distortion sound (listen to Junior Barnard with Bob Wills to get a good idea of this; also, any number of early 1950s electric blues) -
-
I don't know - twice he complimented me on things that I posted -
I guess I'm just the Mahatma Ghandi of Organissimo.
of course, look what happened to him -
-
just ordered mine - thanks Ron - (few people know this but Ron gets an Amazon commission every time he tricks us into ordering something off of it) -
-
that's ok - personally I blame Joseph Losey.
-
like Trotsky -
-
well, let us just say that I know the guy who used to run the Legacy division - and his opinion of it was less than grand - not sure they know what they're doing.
-
still wondering - how was Philly? anybody see him there?
-
-
the old guitars are nice, though in my experience the ones I've played tend to be harder to play, action-wise. They look great, though I do think the essence of their sound is in the pickups, which I tend to love. I do have a soft spot for 1960s-70s Japanese pickups, and I once had a conversation with Lindy Fralin in which he said the one thing that the Japanese manufacturers got right was the pickups -
-
and it just happens to be on Devilin Tune (I think) - it was also in the Henderson box - Study in Frustration.
-
thanks - it's nice to read about such things actually happening -
of course, Wynton could just write a check and pay for the whole thing, save everyone a lot of time -
-
one of my favorite Nesbitt arrangements is Chinatown for Fletcher Henderson -
Dameronia: Stop Look and Listen - Uptown
in Re-issues

it doesn't really say - is that the stuff that Sunnenblick put out years ago? Nice band, I saw them at the time in NYC with Philly Joe, as I recall -
