i always try, and have too often failed to, remember that every woman we see is someone's little daughter, and that i have have a daughter and grand daughter.

this story is virtually lost in the imus calamity and their accusers are virtually unscathed.

i became admirers of the rutgers ladies during the big east and ncaa tourneys and followed them closely. coach stringer is a remarkable lady well worth reading about. the piling on by the racial opportunists is as ugly as the imus remarks. radio station wfan became the top grossing radio station in this country for years on don imus back. it is, in my opinion, effectively the end of the run of success for wfan. without doubt, the long time manager of wfan will become a scapegoat, and many long established well paid hosts will be uprooted.

in 1970, shavers spoke of the kirby group as the best he ever worked in. would it be a fair inference that he favored this style of playing, or that this was his truest style?

Switched horns with Stan Getz on a couple of tracks on the "Getz Meets Mulligan" Verve LP. incredible. thanks!

i meaned playing tenor, too, in the upper registers. could have sounded pretty crappy.

have these wynton at the proms bbc recordings and they featured the interesting bari-man joe temperly. am sure my friends across the pond know of joe. info about joe......

would be interesting to hear how he approached the tenor.

how charlie shavers died harvey shapiro he had a gig but he was hurting. his doctor said, play the date, then check into the hospital. that night, when the party ended and the band packed up, charlie started to give stuff away--- his watch, his rings-to the women in the room. then he circled the room with his horn playing: "for all i know we may never meet again at this point, the man who was telling the story in the locker room at the manhattan plaza gym and who has sung the line slowly, with a pause between each word, began to cry.

sweet!

Not on the same day, two days apart. Armstrong died on July 6, 1971. Shavers on July 8 Charlie asked that his mouthpiece be buried with Louis. I believe it was. shavers noted in a 1970 interview that he was using a new mouthpiece, as his 20 year old one had worn out. http://www.jazzprofessional.com/interviews...lie_Shavers.htm

ever hear his number where he plays and sings in the manner of jazz trumpeters, louis, diz, harry james, eldridge, cootie, and a few others? have to dig it out.

......thread might have a thousand entries but yours would probably still taste best. of course, there is dinner music for one's self and for others.

It's actually the album that turned me on to the talent of Shavers. It's a very straightforward trumpet and strings album with Shavers not straying away from the melodies. No trace of any aggressiveness here! Gorgeous arrangements by Sy Oliver. Doubt that this would be to everyone's liking! But I'm a fan of it! would be mine, for sure. thanks.

how's his gershwin/strings album?

So does this mean you're now to be known as "etanargemopgnilkrapsezzi"? I hope not..... great idea! thanks

thanks. i didnt expect to read that here. one of the young ladies is a musical prodigy, i hear, and most of us have daughters and grand-daughters.

harry james theme simultaneous with lady's 'lady sings the blues.' (multitasking)

heard him do 'history of the jazz trumpet,' paying homage to, cootie, and louie, and roy, among others.

should have noted for eating standing up or for a swivelly swivel chair(which i was).

after listening to a couple hours of charlie shavers, i must conclude that he just has to be one of the 5 or 6 most awesome and versatile trumpet players these old ears have ever heard.

this john kirby with charlie shavers just cant be beat.

what an incredible body of work has she(spanning 40 years) warning--- i downloaded 'coat' from buy.com for a reasonable price, but 'early morning breeze,' track 7 had no data in it. every track is a keeper, so i'm just a little put out. i emailed them, but you all know how that goes.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Five years ago, Opie & Anthony were booted from the nation's airwaves for a stunt where listeners had sex in St. Patrick's Cathedral. On Tuesday morning, the shock jocks were back on the air, riffing on Don Imus' "nappy-headed hos" fiasco. The latest collision of outrageous radio and outraged listeners is business as usual for morning radio, where jocks walking the line between bad taste and big ratings continually reinvent the art of self-destruction. "The question is not `How far can we go?'" said Michael Harrison, publisher of the trade magazine Talkers. "It's always been, `Go as far as we can go.' And then you start testing the line again." "The only rule is there are no rules," said Ron Kuby, the liberal co-host of a morning show on right-leaning WABC-AM. "Once you get beyond the FCC, a host is left to the discretion of a program director, station manager, bosses they've never seen, advertisers and a fickle public. What might be fine today results in a boycott tomorrow." Even Imus admits he crossed the line with his comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team, which earned his show a two-week suspension. On Tuesday, Rutgers' president and basketball coach condemned Imus' "despicable" remarks and announced the team would meet with the embattled radio personality. But economics often trumps emotion in an anything-goes business where stars like Imus have earned local radio stations and major media companies millions of dollars with their outrageous antics. "Radio is where the hippest, most spontaneous pop culture exists, so it's therefore the place with the most controversy," Harrison said. "People are constantly dealing with crossing the line." And then tripping over that ever-shifting marker, falling face-first into unemployment or anonymity after inserting both feet into their endlessly chattering mouths: - Last May, DJ Star of the New York-based "Star & Buc Wild Morning Show" was fired after threatening to sexually abuse a rival DJ's 4-year-old daughter. For bad measure, he offered to urinate on the child and directed racial slurs at the girl's part-Asian mother. - One year earlier, a three-minute musical "parody" about the killer south Asian tsunami led to the termination of New York-based Hot 97's morning show co-host and a producer. The same station paid a $240,000 settlement over a promotion dubbed "Smackfest," where women slapped each other for cash and prizes. - In February 2004, popular Florida radio host Bubba the Love Sponge was fired for offensive material that included cartoon characters like George Jetson and Scooby Doo discussing sexual hijinks. - Multiple offenders Greg "Opie" Hughes and Anthony Cumia were tossed off WNEW-FM in 2002 after the infamous St. Patrick's Cathedral stunt. They were fired four years earlier in Massachusetts for a misguided April Fool's joke where they announced Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino was killed in a car crash. - And radio's biggest star, Howard Stern, always paid the biggest obscenity fines for his morning show before jumping to the unregulated haven of satellite radio. Along with bad taste, most perpetrators had something else in common: They aired in morning drive-time, the most lucrative advertising slot for any radio station. An old radio mantra posits that as goes the morning, so goes the rest of the day. "Stations want someone edgy and controversial, who creates cooler talk at the office," said Paul Heine, executive director of Billboard's Radio & Records. "It's a quick route to ratings success, but it's a double-edged sword. If you're out on a tightrope, you can fall over." For Imus, with his national television audience and more than 70 stations for his syndicated radio show, controversy is nothing new - his longtime schtick includes cheap shots at people of every race, color and creed. He reinvented himself years ago by bringing aboard A-list politicians, authors and journalists, although remnants of the past lingered on the program. Harrison said radio has long served as an outpost for envelope-pushing material, dating back to the early days of rock 'n' roll with DJs like Allen Freed - long before Stern launched his first "Lesbian Dial-A-Date." On their show Tuesday morning, which airs on both satellite and terrestrial radio, Opie and Anthony were offering their support for Imus - but also joking about taking over his slot should the veteran broadcaster get the ax. Unless, of course, the pair gets fired first. © 2007 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
