Big fire in Universal studios destroyed jazz recordings?
AllenLowe replied to mmilovan's topic in Discography
I've mentioned this before but I have a number of LPs from material that Decca owned - some of these are recordings from the 1920s from other labels that are fantastically clear; I think I'll gather these together and post them - if all this material is, as I suspect, now gone, these LPs (which are beautifully transferred) are doubly important - this is really horrible, I think (and no one has mentioned that the lost material may include the Louis Armstrong masters!) -

bumping for the night shift - may be the last chance to get it at these prices - AND to help put lipstick on a pig - -
with the Coen Brothers, I always come away thinking there is less than meets the eye - though I did hear a tune I mastered (for Rykodisc) on the film soundtrack (though not on the CD) of Oh Brother Where Art Thou?

don't want to get into a fight here, but I always disliked the Allman Brothers band - another group of '60s guys in search of modality but not quite sure how to find it; long, well-meant jams that go nowhere because they confuse scales with ideas - even Bloomfield fell victim to this, not to mention Garcia - all are fine guitarists who, like Allman, never really "got" jazz - no shame in that, they just shoulda realized it befire going .......on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and - on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and

I don't think anyone has posted about this, if so I apologize, but he died recently - I used to see him and his brother Happy play frequently in the Boston/Cambridge area (back in the old Passim days, middle 1970s); years ago I was visiting my parents up near Woodstock, NY and a guy was standing next to me at the post office - well, I happened to look at the package he was holding, and it was addressed to David Bromberg! the guy holding the package happened to be Artie Traum and we talked for a few minutes, my first and last personal encounter, but he was a genuinely nice guy and a great guitarist - and also a Coltrane fan according to an old interview I read - a real loss to the folk/roots/trad world -

well, there's already a previous thread on Jon Hendrix, his dad -

Especially for Jim A. & other organists, Barry Kiener (I believe)
AllenLowe replied to Larry Kart's topic in Recommendations
in 1967 I attended the NY State Music Camp in Delhi, New York and there was a chubby kid there who was a little bit obnoxious but who could play the hell out of a piano - it was Kiener, of course - never saw him again but followed his professional exploits over the years - -
"live at Monterey" is great - I've said this before but I've always felt she became too much of a blues sage in her later years - especially as there's an old quote where she speaks about feeling limited by the blues - and her later playing is too one-note for me; over the years, however, she wrote great arrangements (nice one for Benny Goodman recorded on Capitol); played pieces that were dissonant and complex; also recorded a version of Caravan, maybe 1943, that shows a striking resemblance to Monk, or at the least a powerful reference - don't have it in front of me but it's somewhere on Devilin Tune - I tried to get her to let me interview her back in the 1970s, went and spoke to her at the Cookery; she was evasive and I never pursued it, though I wish now that I had - amazing lady -

I like Don Ellis and I like this thread, Durium - keep it going -

and let us not forget the thread about prior threads that were about future threads that concerned other threads that mentioned later threads that happened to mention earlier and later threads: http://whocaresaboutanything lowe posts.organissimo.org/forum/index/wtfwtfwtf://http://whocaresaboutanything lowe p...index/wtfwtfwtf://http://whocaresaboutanything lowe p...index/wtfwtfwtf

and of course there was the thread about not having threads about prior threads unless there had been a prior thread about threads that were about prior threads: http://loweistoodamnniceforthisplanet.orga...index/wtfwtfwtf
