  1. followed her from Romeo and Juliet through Jesus of Nazareth, through Black Christmas, Cat and the Canary, It, all the way to Psycho IV, Turkey Shoot and other B movies.RIP, Juliet.
  2. Some iconic Black cowgirl and a bunch of Black cow people interrupting the Houston Baltimore game.
  3. Bill's a cool guy; you can email him with any questions you have about musicians, and he'll get right back to you.
  4. Yes, as Jim said, when someone like Martial is gone, he's gone. There will never be another pianist like that ever again. RIP, to one of the of the greats.
  5. RIP. I always used to see her on "Soul" that great WNET program from a long time ago.

    RIP, Vic Flick

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/vic-flick-guitarist-behind-the-iconic-james-bond-theme-has-died-read-our-historic-interview-with-him/ar-AA1umQNw?ocid=BingNewsVerp I was attacked by a John Barry fanatic for mentioning on another forum that I had read Flick's fascinating autobiography wherein Flick had some bad things to say about John Barry. The guy accused me of attacking someone who was dead (Barry) while at the same time he was attacking Flick as being insignificant, and would have been nothing without Barry, while he was attacking Flick during the announcement of his death!
  9. $8? That's half a day's pay!!!! I can get it for free from the Columbia U liberry.
  10. Thanks for posting that Mike Zwerin excerpt. I've got to get that book!
  11. I dunno. Where did they move her?
  12. Thanks, mucho! Sounds like CT wanted a swinging chart in the style of Sammy Nestico. That's RW on the trumpet solo, and he sounds like an excellent player. Sadly, he lost most of his teeth in a car accident, and had to switch to piano. The liner notes are strange. They make no reference to the album itself; just a history of the Thornhill Band that discusses the influence of Gil Evans on it. In addition, Texas Blues must have been arr. by Lennie Sinisgalli (listed here as Sinisgal) who was also a great alto sax player and arr. I used to play with. They held a Memorial for him at St. Peter's in NYC (he died tragically young in his 40s while on the road, of a hemorrhage), and he was so beloved by NY musicians, that Torrie Zito gathered a big band, and they played LS' arrangements to a crowd that was the size of an NBA game! This is compared to more well known jazz musicians like Jimmy Raney's, whose Memorial was attended by a much smaller group of people.
  13. I just found another Sam Most Sextet album that features two compositions by RW for the same personnel, and one of his tunes sounds like something George Russell or Jimmy Giuffre would have written in the 50s. It's from a re-issue "Doubles in Jazz featuring two ten inch records, one by Don Elliot, and the other by Sam Most. Here's the cut I'm talking about: https://archive.org/details/lp_doubles-in-jazz_don-elliott-quartet-sam-most-sextet/disc1/02.06.+Open+House.mp3 He also wrote a composition for the Claude Thornhill Orchestra called "Claudehopper" while he played trumpet with them, which I'm still looking for. This guy was another Gil Evans
  14. Next thing you know, someone will announce that some guy with orange hair just got re-elected...

    RIP Shel Talmy

    RIP. I always loved Friday On My Mind, and still listen to it whenever it comes up on you tube. Can we listen Ms. TTK's radio show online?
  16. If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh, but I fear tomorrow I'll be cry-ing, Yes I know to-mor-row I'll be cry-ing.
  17. "I Talk to the Wind" was my motto at the one party I went to in HS. 21st Century Schizoid man constantly ran through mt mind whenever i spoke to the neurosurgeon who removed my tumor this summer with a DaVinci Robot. I was lucky it was benign. "Epitaph" should be the theme song for the next four years...RIP, Mr Sinfield

    Roy Haynes RIP

    Oh God, one of the greatest. RIP
  20. I already maxed my 13 CCs paying his premiums. I had to change to barter. He's got my wife, four of my ex-wives, nine of my children, and my car. He only has 47% of my dog, but he'll be shipped down there at the end of the month. Too bad, he's the only one I'd miss.

    Don Bagley

    Bagley even wrote arrangements/orchestrations for Judee Sill's self-named great first album! Sill's husband, the jazz pianist Bob Harris wrote the rest of the charts, but he was such a notorious junkie, David Geffen and his partner Elliot Roberts wouldn't let Harris anywhere near the studio, so Bagley had to conduct the orchestra for the first album released by Asylum Records.
  22. Ouch!
  23. RIP, after along illness.
  24. Dick Morrissey's son just told me that Sellers and his crowd used to spend every waking moment they had at Ronnie Scott's. If Dick was playing there, a drunken Sellers would be hitting on Dick's wife. At least he went out 'swinging'; his final request was that Glen Miller's "In the Mood" was to be played at his funeral.
  25. Yeah, that's one of the conclusions the author comes to. I was surprised that Wally Stott/Angela Morley was the musical director for the Goon Show, WS was very close to PS and was interviewed extensively for the book. From Scott Walker to John Williams and Hollywood, WS/AM was everywhere back then.
