  1. pianist uses an organ on this lp here, her name:pat moran
  2. That's a good idea, but I'll just stick with AfricaBrass. I'm glad to be back to AB. Jeff B And The African Brass. Now that's a real good 'un! It would go with my "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" avatar. Yes, that's why I said. BTW, where is it, and where did you get it? Not that I'm gonna use it, just that it's so f*in cool, I want more like that!

  4. I'm looking for the album that musician recorded after his Last Date album, you know where to find it?
  5. The Keeper (lost in space-1965) on love: "I do not suffer from that weekness."
  6. So I heard once.
  7. Drugs were in and the music that seemed to cymbolize that was rock.
  8. Oh man do I need my piano tuned! I got it from a school here in the city, sadly it's in bad shape and has "bite me" "f you!" in pen all over it.
  9. Jimmy Smith started on piano, but switched to organ because of the bad pianos he found on gigs. Sadly in his later years it would be the same situation with organs. But I agree the organ and piano are completely different. I think you really gotta work the piano, to make it swing. Organs just seem to swing by themselves, (soundwise.)
  10. Students, listen up: There is not one better soloist to learn the language of bebop. Start with Hank, then go on to everyone else. If every jazz program had a required curriculum, it should be that every student (of every instrument) must transcribe 20 Hank Mobley solos and be able to play them along with the records. Jazz education would then be in a much healthier place. There would be no need for clumsy theory books. The Montmartre tapes are classic. Hank is reaching beyond, really stretching. Also, great Tootie Heath - like he plays on the Prisoner. Hank wasn't even invited to appear at the One Night of Blue Note concert at Town Hall in 1985, but he showed up anyway. After the concert, Kenny Washington and I cabbed Hank to Penn Station and gave him train fare back to Philly - he was broke (in more ways than one). Amazing that Blue Note couldn't honor one of their star recording artists. Did Alfred havce anything to do with inviting the musicians? My guess is probaly not, I mean he gave a speach, right? And he wasn't the best of shape either. If Alfred didn't invite anyone and it was up to some other guy I would say, "Blue Note" didn't honor one of their recording stars. I always thought they loved eachother:
  11. He seemed to have a somewhat trajic life. I wonder how he stayed a musician at times like those. nice article.
  12. baaaaaaaaaaaad!!!!
  13. I took the liberty and changed it to "cd/lp'S played most."
  14. only five more hours.
  15. Eh, what's for breakfast.
  16. Nah, I'm pretty sure there's 71.
