Last night, my temperature zipped up to 100, and I couldn't get to sleep, so I read Charles Williams till 7:30am , usually a good author to induce sleep, due to long involved sentences, and obscure religious /occult references. I woke up today feeling a bit out of it, but my temperature went back down to 98.4, though it usually rises at night. Sperm count remains the same, and am filling out the applications for the sex slavery ring in my area. I hope those women don't abuse my fertility...

My arm hurts. That's it for now. According to reactions to it from other people, the 'fun' starts about twelve hours after the shot, which for me will be 2:30am. When I got the shot, I asked the young woman when I should start to expect experiencing side f/x, and she looked at me and said, "NOW". It was like something out of a horror movie! AAGHHH!

British funk from 1973. The chick singer is the vocalist on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. I don't know where you find this stuff TTK, but keep it coming! Interesting arr. by Pete Moore, with top UK session men gettin' funky. Just another reason why drum machines should be banned.

I just got my second Moderna shot today, 37 days after the first shot, instead of the recommended 28 days. The shot was painless (like the first), but the pain has started to kick in. Will be posting about my misery starting tomorrow. I feel okay now.

This was the first Koechlin album I bought; some 28 years ago. He wrote that "the monkeys were just self-satisfied mimics whose only goal is to follow the fashion of the day...such things are said to take place in the world of artists, too". "Debussyism, Atonality and Twelve Tone composition follow each other in an awkward potpourri, the prophets of the Back to Bach movement apply their fugal skills to a popular tune..." It's pretty hilarious until Mowgli's rescue, and then the true polymodal music of Koechlin emerges, celebrating his rescue. Koechlin's music is always so good, I just buy his CDs whenever I find one.

No, just a long Mingus concert with Bill Cosby as MC. Gene Ammons, Bobby Jones and James Moody in a tenor battle.Teo Macero was conducting. I didn't know that Eddie Bert and Eddie Preston were on that band. I played with them about 20 years later.

I saw her live at the Mingus Philharmonic Hall concert in '72. All I remember is "Eclipse".

I still remember seeing Roland Kirk destroy a folding chair on one episode!

ohmygodinthefuturewomenwillholdfertilemalesasbreedingsexslaves- Sound good to me.

I just saw a good documentary on what was the first Black directed and produced show on US television that was made in NYC. I was amazed to find out that, IMHO. the greatest gospel singer of all time, Marion Williams, was a guest on the show in 1968. A young Stevie Wonder with Wonderlove was featured a few times on the show, including one episode where he just kept playing, even though he went way over his allotted time, and they had to keep getting new cans of tape at the time to capture his entire performance. Billy Taylor, Roland Kirk, and many other jazz musicians of the time were also feattured on the show, along with many Black poets. The clips on the show were pretty short, but here's an idea of who appeared during the show's five year run: Ellis Haizlip ... Self - Host / ... 12 episodes, 1968-1973 Jerry Butler ...

Where have you been TTK? I've missed your posts! Did you go on one of those month long cocktail party cruises? Just kidding.

I'd rather pay to watch you guys working on spreadsheets, than watch that pig slobbering down his spaghetti, slurping up all the sauce and getting it all over his face. He probably licks the plate clean right in front of you for an extra thousand bucks! I've thought of starting my own cult to help pay the bills. I got the idea from Lenny Lopate. You have to combine the popularity of Jesus in the West and the hare Krishna movement from the East. I'll call it, "The Hairy Christians".

Check out the prices he's charging for this!!! https://www.aldimeola.com/house-events

Yeah, I was blown away by the mellowness.Even after the hassles he had with Vinnie Abato at Julliard, he put up that touching obit to end the chapter. Same thing with the way Mulligan treated him. He stood up for his rights, but didn't let it interfere with the respect he had for GM. Hope you and yours are doing okay down there Jim.

Hey man, Where you been? Phil mentions "Ken" Hopkins when talking about all the great arr./composers in NYC. I have no explanation for why he didn't mention The Hustler" date, other than he did so many great dates, he couldn't go into every one of them. I wanted to hear something about "The Hustler date, the "Blow Up" date the "Lilith" date", the Gunther Schuller concert date, the Steely Dan date, the Paul Simon date, the Gary McFarland live record date, and many more, but I guess he only included gigs that were pivotal in telling his life story. As Jim (KEEP WARM!) said, he was very gentlemanly in talking about his road life, and he was equally gentlemanly about his interactions with African American musicians. He could have been bitter about Wynton Marsalis lambasting him on a jazz cruise (over the microphone!!!), members of the Oliver Nelson band posting death threats on ON's door, threatening violence if the white lead alto player wasn't fired from the band, and probably many other examples, but he really took the high road on this front, also.I was also astonished that he praised one musician friend of mine, who he a serious run in with years ago! The man really did put the music first.

Paper work? I tried another Walgreens, and they couldn't tell me if they were contracted for second doses. Forget them. I might be able to get a second dose at the same place I got my first dose, but it's going to be 37 days after the first dose.

I just got cancelled by Walgreen's on my second dose; a day before the appointment! They said they weren't contracted to give second doses. I told her, ' You've been keeping me waiting for two weeks, and you just sent me a confirmation/reminder email about it today!" She said "I;m sorry" and hung up.

Is it my imagination, or does ADM sound like an egotistical jerk in all his interviews? In one interview I read with him, he said jazz wasn't a creative music, but his music was.

My father was a salesman, and he went to Lenny White's house to sell him something (could've been anything, my father changed jobs a lot). When he found out LW was a musician, LW mentioned that he just quit Chick Corea's group, because he was sick of Chick giving each of them 'stars' based on how well they played on each gig! There were definitely guys who joined Scientology just to get in with Chick. One musician I went to college with joined Chick's band within a year or two of becoming a Scientologist. One musician he played 'club dates' (weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, etc..) with, remarked that the guy went from kishkas to space jazz in the space of a year.

I really dig Thad's post bop playing on this LP, before he formed the Big Band with Mel. A trumpet player friend of mine said the reason why he got a different sound than other trumpet players was because he used a cornet.. He gets that pinpoint, precise, attacked sound that is different than any trumpet player I've heard, but they list him as playing trumpet. I'm confused.

I remember reading an interview in DB where Getz said he was sick of CC and his "space monkeys". He used Lou Levy and Kenny Barron after that, among others.

He looks like a Latino there, but he was of Southern Italian background. I remember I used to play in a big band in NY where it was said that Chick played the piano chair (probably for five seconds). I was a kid back then, so I thought, "I'm playing the same charts Chick played" (they stopped using piano by then, and I'd play the piano book).I used to tell all the new players in the band, "Yeah man, Chick used to play in this band". One of my best friends became a Scientologist, and made a videotape of him and Chick playing a four-hand piano duet that they played at his funeral service/wake. He died when he was 35. I worked in a band with another Scientologist piano player who worshiped Chick. I met him a few days after L. Ron Hubbard died. When I asked him about it, he said Hubbard didn't die; he was just away on research. R(esearch) in Peace, Chick...

It should be noted that the OP wrote a great book on the Stars of Jazz TV program. Thanks, James!

Beautiful Don Joseph solo on Mullenium! Thanks! There's not that much available of his playing from that period, other than the Chuck Wayne String Fever album. He was severely limited in his career by panic disorder, which was an unknown entity back then, and he literally couldn't cross bridges or go through tunnels due to panic attacks. There was one story about him getting a lift from another musician to a gig where they had to go through a long tunnel. While they were on line to pay the toll, the anticipatory anxiety of having to go through the tunnel was too much for him. He bolted out the door, and ran off into the night, leaving his trumpet behind! He never made the gig. He told my friend about the high he got from heroin in such ecstatic terms, that my friend didn't think he was trying to self-medicate; he thought DJ was using purely for the pleasure he got from it. Who knows? Woods' relationship with Mulligan was another great part of the book. He had to change chairs with Zoot Sims on a Manny Albam recording session, because of Mulligan's obsessive questions about phrasing! The story about Quill slicing his eyeball on a reed on a Birdland gig, because he turned his head too fast, resulting in Woods to drive from PA to NYC to sub for him in Mulligan's Concert Band was typically bizarre for Quill. Woods got fired by Mulligan that night for, to quote Woods, "Something about me being another drunk Irishman. Like calling the kettle green!" Mulligan re-hired Woods the next day. Mulligan booked the Woods Quintet to play at the Ravinia Jazz festival, which Woods had played many times before, and elected not to do a soundcheck. Mulligan balled him out at the hotel over the phone about how unprofessional he was. Mulligan was concerned about the cymbals' sound on the picnic grass... Later, Mulligan called Woods to play on the "Rebirth of the Cool album, and Woods answered, "No way", due to the balling out Mulligan gave him over the phone about being unprofessional at Ravinia. Mulligan couldn't get Konitz, so he was desperate, and Woods made him apologize before he took the gig. Mennini. That doesn't surprise me as much as it would have if I didn't find out that Walter piston was actually Walter Pistone.

You don't know the truth about Don Joseph as a HS teacher, because you didn't live in Staten Island, where DJ and my friend lived, and you didn't act as DJ's unpaid chauffeur, driving him to his AA meetings, Mormon church services, and clubs, where he'd sit in with his friends, as my friend did, or attend the HS where Don worked.. You could be right about the spellings, but they were the exact spellings given in the book (BTW, I spelled it Bleier not Blier). It was published by Cymbal Press, and they might not have had the best proofreader a larger press would have had. The editor was Mary Dorian.
