well, if jive ass pasticheur and blowhard Ethan Iverson has done little of merit, at least he "inspired" this thread... fight the power, Ethan! get that J-- i mean George, and it's near certain the ghosts of William Grant Still and Coleridge T. Perkinson-- maybe even Louis Gottschalk and Scott Joplin-- will sneak back in from eternity and acclaim you a true "Soul Brother." ** ** ** **

Tai-Chi & lyricon! ** Nat Cole in "Indochina"

DISCO MONK - Larry Coryell, Jerome Harris, Al Foster, Bill Summers, Mark Soskin go in too. We used to roller skate to this! Sonny solo starts 3:36, goes to about 6:15, then it's time again to boogie!

Larry comes in blazing at 3:05 ** Eleventh House live, Alphonse Mouzon is "pretty good," Mike Mandel is blind synth player, Mike Lawrence trumpet, John Lee bass

During his high school years he was Northeast Regional tennis champion for New England, and studied Mandarin Chinese through a State Department intensive language course, pursuits which he maintained throughout his life... In 1992, he married Marguerite Serkin, and moved to Southern Vermont. He constructed their family home while teaching music at Bennington College, performing and recording in a wide spectrum of musical genres. ** Marguerite SERKIN one of four daughters of RUDOLF SERKIN and IRENE BUSCH (daughter of the great violinist & conductor, Adolph Busch); Peter Serkin her brother... Not a huge fan of Rudolf on record though his dedication to his teacher, MAX REGER, is admirable and... the Mazel / Malik connection to the Serkin family is interesting and seemingly unnoted? Don't know his interest in classical but it'd be wild to learn he worked out on, say, Hindemith...

this is a "pretty good" band with Eddie Gomez and Jack DeJohnette. on Antilles.

bump because enjoying Joanne on Freddie Hubbard "Sweet Return" including her own tune, "Heidi B," and of course thoughts of Charles Brackeen come up. With Roy Haynes, Eddie Gomez, Lew Tabackin. Are people aware that Joanne and Charles had FOUR children together? Think about that when we understandably lament Charles' last 35+ years or longer, i.e. there was obviously MUCH more going on there than we as fans knew (or know). ** "Joanne Brackeen grew up in California and taught herself jazz piano from listening to records. She moved to New York to be closer to the heartbeat of the jazz scene — so close that, in the late '60s, her apartment was around the corner from the fabled East Village club Slug's. One night, with her four small children tucked in, Brackeen ran down to Slug's to hear Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Blakey's pianist was elsewhere, so Brackeen slid onto the bench and started to play, and the next thing you know, Blakey hired her and took her to Japan. That story says something about both musicians. Not many women played in the top bands then; it was radical." https://www.npr.org/2008/11/13/96915298/joanne-brackeen-a-maelstrom-on-the-keys

It's great! Glad Pat has the resources and interest to pursue it. Essential for admirers of Busoni, Ives, Nancarrow... Joe Hill Louis... Hal Russell...

Airdate Oct 7, 1967 **

from excellent 1979 George Duke produced album "Carry On," well worth the... $5 or less it's likely to cost.

I didn't catch that at first! But given that Joe was a music teacher in Buffalo then, it seems very likely he played piano too... Wild he ended up with McCoy if that is corredct. Curious about Gayle playing "harp" also, presumably more Alice Coltrane than Julio Finn (harmonica).

from Buffalo Courier Express 20 March 1972, when Gayle was assistant professor of music at University of Buffalo

some interesting Bruce covers-- sung in English-- by Japanese Joe Ozaki

respectfully, I have to side with the dissenters here. a WKCR host did a three-hour long Astrud show tonight-- seemed like three weeks it was so g.d. repetitive, and mostly insipid. Softly sung fake Chet Baker w/ a Brazilian accent, slow song, medium tempo song repeat repeat repeat, by the time she gets to "Light My Fire" (why not "Celebration of the Lizard" or The End" also? Or at least "Peace Frog"!) I'm ready to shed a tear too... ... and then listen to three weeks of nothing but DELLA REESE to cleanse myself.

thanks Dana-- I garbled my reply, meaning to say George Butler went from doing liner notes for Lou to producing Arthur a decade plus later. interesting to recall Bob Thiele produced this one:

but did LD, even in context and in all his phases, make a single album as great as Blythe "Illusions"? Likely, because of their biz realities and temperaments, Lou never thought it necessary to try. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP0-Yv3RjlY George Butler produced and fine, like most Lou, liner notes by George Butler who goes on the produce Blythe's Monk tribute a decade plus later https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVpIoYuI2Yw&list=PLGSxK-_xeRIZ2qVIjyK4a2h8Y1jcv0rwx&index=2

Schaap's taste broader and weirder than many people realize, or he often broadcast in later years. For example, I'm nearly certain he saw and loved Hendrix-- live-- early ('67?, before the "Band of Gypsies" shows for sure) he himself played self-described bad trumpet in horn-rock band (he never named, whethe he's uncredited or used a pseudonym I don't know but he's never made any claims as musician, thus his fervor in finding other roles), was down with electric Miles, Sun Ra, pre- and post- electric... Later he definitely focused more on the living and gradually dying swing, big band to bop figures but those weren't he was somewhat more involved with the "music of his time" than first seems apparent without hearing all those 1000s of shows he did in the late 1960s, 70s which, afaik, weren't recorded. (Would love to hear Schaap being yelled at by Miles on the phone during some Davis tribute program, the call ending, before Miles hung up, "Now go play "Sketches of Spain"!)
