Yeah, but with the Sherman thing (I think it was Sherman, but I loaned the Lewis book to a friend and I can't check it now), this was at a one year anniversary party for the poor guy being off heroin, and what does Getz give him? A tie? a new mouthpiece, a book? No, Stanley gave him an envelope that contained a bag or two of heroin. I read somewhere that Prestige used to pay their musicians with dope.

Then there's the heartwarming story recounted by Mel Lewis in his autobiography about the time a musician was celebrating his one year anniversary of being off heroin. Stan's thoughtful present to the musician? A bag or two of heroin! Gary Burton's autobiography contains a multitude of 'touching' stories about his tenure with Getz, closing with the straw that broke the vibist's back: Stan had been using him as his road manager, taking care of a bunch of time consuming tasks. One day, Burton came across an actual statement of how much the group was being paid for their gigs. Burton realized that he was being paid something like 1/4 of what he should have been paid, and that wasn't even taking into account that he had been acting as Getz' road manager! Burton gave Getz his notice the next day...

Yeah, well speaking of Catholics, look at what you did to Father Merrin and Father Demian, Pazuzu!

I don't know what he did to Haig, but Raney became an alcoholic after working with Getz for a number of years, and Billy Bean's last major gig was with Getz. He also became an alcoholic during his time with, and as a result of working with Getz, and never left Philly for the rest of his life, living with his mother till she passed. Who knows what he did to Rene Thomas, but I recently learned that he died from an OD of heroin, not a heart attack, which I had read in Time Magazine.Maybe the heart attack was caused by the OD, but that wasn't mentioned in Time.

From reading "Death of a Bebop Wife" it seemed to come from his family's attitudes.

Raney was Haig's little disciple when he first came to NYC, and he and Al would go on walks together. Whenever Haig would see someone he somehow knew to be Jewish, he'd drag Raney across the street to avoid them. On his own, Raney would not avoid Jews on the street.

What? Just because Al locked his wife in a room for weeks until she finished reading "Mein Kampf"? Doesn't everyone do that? And just because he'd make Jimmy Raney cross the street with him in Manhattan if he saw any Jewish people walking towards them? Isn't that standard operating procedure?

Shit, I got it confused with A Milanese Story, which John Lewis also wrote the music for... Manfred Mann also did his version of jazz for "Venus in Furs",(1969), and he and his band at the time appeared in a club scene.with the director, the evil Jess Franco playing piano in the group. James Darren starred as a jazz trumpet player who finds the corpse of a woman on a beach. The woman comes back to life, and takes revenge on her enemies.

Harry Belafonte plays a mean vibes solo in that lousy flick in a club scene.Jim Hall has a nice bluesy solo in one part of the film soundtrack.

Red Norvo and his trio featuring the great Jimmy Wyble on guitar made an appearance in "Screaming Mimi"(1958). Unfortunately Tal Farlow had left the group by then. There's only one appearance by Tal (dressed as an Indian!) in any movie or visual medium in the 50s. In the movie he just strums rhythm. I'd pay anything for the 1955 short the Norvo Trio made called "Play it Cool".

Just heard Bizet's Symphony in C, written when he was only 17! He only lived to be 36. Last movement quite joyful, with meticulous craftsmanship that surpassed (it is said) his teacher Gounod.

I remember the excitement that his taking over the Basie drum chair caused back then. RIP, Duff man...

Update: Temperature went down to 98.7, and was able to fall asleep normally. Very little arm pain.

All hell broke loose on "The Rockets red glare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hilarious!

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 ...
