somebody might wanna delete this - either that or I'm seeing double again -

didn't like it at first, but now I am starting to love this lady's singing - modest but DEEP - and great trumpey by Bob Scobey, one of those white-guy-revivalists who usually annoys me - great stuff, and I searched but could find nothing on her on this site - anybody now if she's dead or alive? She has a Lee Wiley-ish modesty to her voice -

it is Brent - I used to have his cell phone number, not sure what I did with it - if you can remember, sent me an email at alowe5@maine.rr.com to remind me to look for the VHS if I still have it - maybe in about a month - as for Columbia, I would think there would interest considering there are people there like George Lewis and John Szwed - and I think O'Mealley (whose a very nice guy) hs retired -

"> I took this of him maybe 1976 at Cami Recital Hall in NYC - this was the night he played with Tommy Turrentine, who played everything a 1/4 tone sharp -

strangely enough, Julius gave me a VHS of some performance footage of this YEARS ago (maybe 1993?). Maybe I should look for it - it was from, as I recall, the DC performance - there is a guy at Columbia, I think, who's doing a bunch of work on Julius - and Ursula Oppens, Julius's partner and a wonderful lady, is now in NYC - I don't have much time now to help on this, but if you remind me toward the summer -

but I'm listening to his 1945 version of I Cover the Waterfront and I'm saying, this guy is a GREAT pianist -

oh, we're just having some good, clean, family fun - actually, my sister is married to Cliff's half-cousin's older sister's fourth uncle's third cousin twice removed - so Cliff and I are actually related. And intermarriage has done wonders for the Englewood family - that's why he has 12 toes and a third arm -

I love his playing - it's hard to match the gentleness there with the kind of guy he was - just very internally angry, turbulent - didn't help that, as he told me, he lost the publishing to Jordu -

what kind of shape is Belgrave in today? I played a wedding with him in a suburb of Detroit circa 1980 -

listening to her stuff with RIchard M. Jones - great bands, interesting early recordings - thanks to Cliff Englewood for reminding me about her - this is a great help to my blues project -

DENIED

about 30 years ago Barry Harris told me this about O'Neal: "he can play like Tatum but he'll never leave Detroit."

fine guitarist, nice girl, what a crazy waste - I met her right after she was starting to get known. Seemed like a very straight-up person. People were quite shocked when she died.

thank you - free shipping and an ice bucket for anyone who emails in the next 15 minutes -

two weeks -

sounds perfect - will find it -

does it have a piano solo?

good night, Cliffie - and learn to tell the difference between cause and effect - it will take you far in life - and not to mention that I apologized for MY slip - ever heard of Charles Ives, by the way? probably not.................though I am both flattered and creeped out by the fact that you seem to follow my life so closely - and I can't wait until your claim crosses my desk - DENIED

not a problem, I appreciate any help I can get - this blues reissue project is now, finally, 36 CDs and I'm going a bit nuts - I still have to annotate the performances, and than write a book (!) and than finally film the documentary, and compose enough music for a soundtrack/CD - I have promised the wife that this is my final big project before I ride off into the sunset or go to that big boxed set in the sky -

the cutoff date is really 1958 - and I know that he is not really a "blues" player per se, but that's the idea, to show how players like Solal approach the form - will have to locate Farniente and see how close it comes - thanks, everyone -

Hart, great as he was, is still more swing-oriented rhythmically - Profit clearly had an influence on early Bud Powell, both rhythmically and harmonically - there is a strong resemblance between his circa 1940 playing and early Bud -

bumping for the night shift -

gotcha - and yes, it was 2 cuts, as I was listening to the session this morning - be happy to burn a CDR for anybody who wants to hear it-
