during the first half of the 1980s, the u.s. corporation for public broadcasting recorded a number of live radio broadcasts at jazz clubs around the country, and outside. sometimes they used 1 set, sometimes 2. a richard davis quartet was wonderful. there was an inredible mal waldron solo performance or two. stan getz appeared as a duo on the french riviera with elvin jones. amina claudine myers performed a largely r&b set, with an incredible extended powerful piano solo in song for mother e. billy pierce/bobby watson appeared shortly after leaving blakey's group. there were 2 moving dick hyman pipe organ soloes of negro spirotuals from the church of st. john the divine in nyc. there was a really upbeat performance of the ahmad jamal quartet with harpist marilyn mazur about the time the album pittsburgh was released. clifford jordan did what i remember as an upbeat quintet set or two. the group freeflight performed with pianist minshol leviev from peabody's down under in cleveland. leviev performed in a sparkling duo of extended length with bassist charlie haden, on the french riviera, as i remember. many other performances of the long running series have slipped just out of memory's reach. these seem to have disappeared, and so did some priceless jazz performances. i would so love to hear them again.

this afternoon, i have listened to a 5 or 6 hour chronology of andrew hill recordings. the ever deepening thrust of hill's music is both impressive and chilling. which musicians performance or compositions have deeply impressed you with growth that seemed not to have ended until their last breath?

Remember it well. I'm in the car on the right. And he backed into you? Now I get it. No I smashed into him. Speaking of Asherie and Allen, while I like Asherie, Allen's solo with Ehud here exemplifies the creepy predictability of Allen's thinking IMO: that's a fair observation, but harry has mastered his craft more than well. If it's fair to say that Allen's thinking here is creepily predictable, in what sense has he "mastered his craft more than well"? Again, I think of what used to be called "hotel tenor." The craft that such players ply is indeed a craft, but it's not the same craft, I think, that just about any jazz musician I can think of aspires to master. Seems to me that you're setting the bar very low -- not much above the level of "he can play the instrument." That I'll grant, but is this what we've come to settle for? of course, i do not even question whether it is the music you and i would refer to as jazz. making jazz technical moves is not jazz, nor is trying to be 'creative' without foundation. i think of an allen gig as a performance. we can agree that he has mastered that craft. that being said, i would suggest that allen deserves wider popularity in his native country. the public musical taste isn't that sophisticated, is it? really fine jazz is a tough tough league, and i, a novice, wouldn't likely know it if i heard it.

allen gets $20 each for his recordings at live gigs. that's the most i know of with jazz cats.

thank god for all of them. how lucky are we who appreciate them all, or at least, most.

that review nailed it. thanks for the cd tips.

i couldn't find an o thread about harry allen, a remarkable contemporary virtuoso. in this article harry states some very personal and self assured points of view. "I have a little bit of a recognition problem because some of my recordings are not being released in the States," answered Allen after he played a blistering set as a member of Howard Alden's East Coast All-Stars at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee this past Memorial Day weekend. "I've been very lucky to be with a major record label for the last ten years, BMG Japan. There are very few jazz artists these days that have record contracts. BMG here in the USA released a few of my records before they decided to get out of the jazz business. As a result, a lot of my records have not been released in the United States." harry allen "One thing I think about is the music I play is happy music," Allen said. "It's happier and it makes people feel good. So, maybe for that reason it has endured longer. Time will tell." "I don't agree that music should be innovative," Allen said. "Music should be 'inventive,' and it should be good. Some of the people, especially these days, try to be innovative without being good. What I try to do is to be good. I try to be inventive. I don't want to be a 'lick' player who regurgitates licks that I've learned. I try to be inventive and truly improvise and to be good. If innovation comes, it comes. If it doesn't, it doesn't. It's like what Count Basie said, 'If innovation is thought about, it's no good. It either happens or it doesn't.' I personally haven't heard any innovator in jazz live in my life time. Who was the last innovation in jazz? Eric Dolphy? Who since then? Nobody has found much new to do. Maybe somebody will. I hope somebody will. More than that, I hope if they do, that it's good." What Allen has found playing at these jazz clubs are patrons who do not necessarily always clamor for more "modern" approaches to jazz, he said. "I don't think the people want to hear that stuff," Allen said. "There are some great musicians who play modern music and they have wonderful fan bases, but so do we. There is every bit of an audience, if not more of an audience, for the type of jazz that I play." "I have a picture of my sister and I sitting on Paul's lap taken at one of the Disneyland concerts," Allen said. "Paul was very much underrated. He was great as anybody." (Gonzalves died in 1974.) "I think my two major influences now would be Ben Webster and Stan Getz," Allen said. "I have a lot of other influences as well. There's Zoot, Al (Cohn), Illinois Jacquet, Lester Young and Flip Phillips. Flip was another tenor play that was underrated." "I sort of have a look that conveys I would bite someone's head off if they came up to talk to me," Allen confessed. "People have told me I have a very serious look on my face. I don't feel that I do, but I've been told that." "Joe Cohn has the fastest ears of anyone I've ever seen," Allen said. "Like I said, I think music should be inventive. We have some arrangements, but most of the time our arrangements consist of me coming up with an arrangement on the spot, with Joe following me. I can play something as complicated as I want and he'll be right there following me as if we had written down. I have perfect pitch, which helps with that. When the notes come out, I hear what they are. Joe doesn't have perfect pitch but he has every bit as good an ear. It's really quite amazing. I'll play some sort of shout chorus and he'll play it right with me in harmony."

you nailed it!!!!! Only if reporting an allegation of sexual misconduct with a minor can be considered morally reprehensible. Is not the whole purpose of a "Mandated Reporter" is that you are to report to the police, not to your supervisor alone? That's always been my understanding, and I've always told my employees that also -- that it is not me who makes the determination whether you report or not to the police, that the person is required by law to file a report themselves. I could be wrong.... Not if you want an air-tight case for conviction. The mandated reporter must go through the proper channels. This way the molester's defense attorney can't wriggle out from under the charge by claiming some sort breach of the law and get his client off on a technicality. It also protects the rights of the child by creating a paper trail used by the prosecution to file charges against the attacker and/or protect the victim from retaliation. Procedures must be followed to the letter or the guy could walk away free or worse, the victim continues to be molested or even beaten for ratting the bastard out. It also protects the mandated reporter from retaliation. Forensics and criminal procedures follow the very same protocol. The more checks and balances and investigative reporting you have the easier it is to convict. Otherwise, it's just your word against the attacker's. After all, the goal is to put the criminal behind bars. True? Note: For those who think this is giving Joe Paterno a free pass, they apparently do not understand how the law of the land must be satisfied in order to convict the real criminal. Curley, Schultz, et al didn't follow through, they violated the law and enabled that dirtball to continue molesting kids. have you read of the emails that cnn recently saw? new information

sir stanley of getz, during the times you mentioned, was using her for recreational therapy. :rolleyes: jobim was lifting stuff from chopin--a lot was going on.

one of the best kept secrets in fine music!!!!! i enjoyed 2 spectacular recording sets with pianist harold maybern a few days ago and too many other treasures to recall.

just started their first set. the peter beets(piano)-joe cohn(guitar) quartet. this is really tasty, logical, beautiful music. beets and cohn have technique to burn. (live video) smalls jazz club
