definitely; some time next year.

my first long piece, The Five Stages of Grief, recorded Oct 18 2015 in Brooklyn: (rough mix, rough edit):

all jazz critics owe Williams a lot, for really showing the way toward serious intellectual jazz criticism.

ah, you can play Crazeology; IIRC it's close to rhythm changes (maybe, I'd have to go back and check; is it the same as Budo? Can't quite remember). Funny thing about Williams, Dick Katz always complained to me that Williams would never admit his technical musical limitations, and tried to act like he know about harmony, etc (one big mistake I remember Martin making is to say that Woody 'n You is in a minor key; it's written, actually, in Db major).

just started to mix down our October 18 concert; which I will post in a few days so you know what upcoming shows you DIDN'T attend in New York.

thanks; I have a bunch of clerical things to do with these cds; have to get them on Amazon, too.

here it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBGB

what is CDDB?

just to note; Ibeam is far from a cement - man cave; have recorded some of my best work in that room. It is small, has a great piano and very reasonable acoustics.-

thanks for buying the stuff; the ability for me to sell these discs is what allows me to record them -

well, it's about 2 years worth of composing. Tough living up here, but the end is, I think, near.

seemed like a good idea at the time....

these days he writes very bad orchestral music, I believe.

I remember that Martin Williams piece; I think it's reprinted in Jazz Panorama. I will do my best to attempt to attempt to spend more time with Stan; I think a lot of it may be sonic; I cannot listen to Paul Desmond either.

but i'll bet Lockjaw didn't think much of Konitz's playing -

sorry Larry, I just do not like Getz and have never been able to listen to him; his was one of the first LPs I ever owned; I am convinced now, though I had no idea at the time (hey I was only 14) that he was a sociopathic narcissist (got my degree from Phoenix U); and I truly think his playing reflects that very directly.

1) in that pic above, isn't Zoot holding an alto? Or are my eyes playing tricks? 2) that Getz solo on Someone to Watch over Me may be the first Stan Getz solo I have ever really liked; thought it was Richie Kamuca at first.

theoretically when you go direct - and he probably had some kind of circuitry that minimized the necessary preamp - you get as pure and literal a sound as possible. But....there are factors along the recording and mastering path - microphone, board, conversion, room - that really make such a thing not really literally possible.

it helps to be out of touch with reality and somewhat delusional. also, to live in a place where there is, quite literally, nothing else to do.

thanks for posting that and giving me an excuse to bump this baby -

just an addendum; first time I saw Davis he was on a concert of pianists that included Duke Jordan, Barry Harris and Junior Mance. After Davis played, mid-way, the piano, particularly on the upper register, was noticeably out of tune.

glad to see this, though the CD they put out some years ago was a big disappointment.

hey don't sound so surprised - (just kidding, really, I think)

Larry - off topic, but, and I swear this true, on his good days, and usually while playing solo, Joe Albany had that exact thing, the 'between the cracks' sound; not sure if it's anywhere on record, though I seem to recall the closest to this kind of Joe is his solo on I Love You with Warne Marsh on that 'live in the living room' cd.

see my prior post; that Mapleshade clip is exactly the way Davis sounded when I saw him, in the flesh, in the '70s. by the way, find the video clip of Davis playing Rhyhmning (how do you spell that?) with Rouse; the opening phrase of Davis' solo is astounding, and tells me that, just maybe, he had some things going on on his head that he never quite got to in any consistent way but which would have been revelatory to hear assembled in one solo. just looked it up; it's on youtube but I cant get the link to copy; if you can stay awake through Rouse's solo, check out Davis at about 1:18 -
