Never heard the Four Seasons like that. Gaudio was an excellent songwriter and had studied piano with Sal Mosca as a kid! That album has some good stuff on it that stands up to Brian Wilson. I'm looking for Charlie Calello's autobio "Another Season" but even Columbia U doesn't have it. Frankie Valli walked into a club where Calello's band was playing, and immediately asked who the arranger was, and was introduced to Calello. I'm gonna have to see the movie version of Jersey Boys, but it was directed by Clint Eastwood, who made a complete mess out of "Bird". Thanks for turning me on to the Gazette album. It's got enough good songs in it to make it worth getting.

Charles Callello has a cue in "Who Killed Teddy Bear" that has the timpani going crazy and some Stravinsky-like WW parts coming in. No wonder he never got another film scoring gig till Pia Zadora's "Lonely Lady" 30 years later. Which is not to say that he wasn't extremely busy in the years in between the two films

JM plays the detective who insists on taking Juliet Prowse's case, which consists of some guy making pervy phone calls to her. JM seems to take too much interest in the case, and makes JP sit down and be interviewed about the calls, which he tapes on his cassette player. Then JP gets another call from the 'bad man' and JP goes back to the police station, and JM reveals that he's been following her around, everywhere she went. CC provides some dissonant, creepy music as JM then offers to drive JP home and makes her stay over his apt. with his young 12 year-old daughter. When they get to JM's apartment, she discovers JM has reams of cassette tapes of women talking about being stalked, raped,etc..., and his young daughter is listening to them(!). Then JP sees all the books JM has laying around about every 'preverted ' thing you can imagine, pedophilia, necrophilia, headophilia, bedophilia- you name it! That's it for JP, she freaks out and starts punching the schist out of JM and accusing him of being the 'prevert' who's been making all the piggy phone calls to her. JM restrains her, and orders her to sit down while he tells her the reason why he's so obsessed with all the 'preverts' in the city, and wants to clean the town out (Taxi Driver style)of all of them. It turns out that his wife wqas raped and killed by one of them, and that gets JP all mellowed out about him. But JP isn't through with being afeared of them preverts. It turns out that Elaine Stritch (playing the manager of the discoteque where JP has a job as a DJ, playing the same two records over and over, as the people freak out on the dance floor, doing the most insane dances you've ever seen) takes her under her wing, and takes her home to JP's apt., where she tells her that nothing is gonna happen to her, and starts hugging her and whispering sweet little nothings in her ear, causing JP to have another freak-out, and kicks Stritch out of JP's apt with Stritch insisting that she's one of 'them', but JP ain't havin' it and Stritch goes flying out the door, acting like the 'queen of da nile'. I won't give away any spoilers to what was one of the important learning experiences about sex in my kidhood on TV, but the main reason I wanted to see it again was one of the two songs JP kept playing over and over in her challenging job as a club DJ. It turns out it was written by Gaudio and was about a guy who was dumped by his GF and complains that "It shoulda been me". 'You were my one and only girl, I was your boy and you were my world We shoud've had fun But he was the one, It shoulda been me" It turned out the other song JP played was much better, but my young brain wasn't developed enough yet to appreciate it.

There was an interview with him by 3 You Tube bozos, and he said that his father was a club date trumpet player. His father had a gig where they needed to play some new tune, and he asked CC if he had the sheet music to it, and CC said no, but he just heard it on the radio, and he'd write it out for him. So his father plays the tune on the gig and he said that the piano player said that CC did something with the changes that was much deeper than what was on the record. It was then that CC realized he had a different understanding of harmony than most people. He also claimed that it took him one or two hours to write charts for any tune he ever got recorded. A friend of mine went to MS of M with him , Donald Byrd and Chris Dedrick, but my friend can' remember what he did an hour ago, so... But he said CC had something to do with some group in the mold of BS&T. I didn't know CC had anything to do with Lightnin' Strikes, but he did play bass, so maybe it him on the record playing that great bass line. Here's my fave use of that song in a movie:

I just saw Who Killed Teddy Bear last night, and couldn't believe the score! Charlie Calello threw everything he could into it, but it overwhelmed every scene. He went on to become The Hit Man, but what a wild score.

Yeah I took it one day after my symptoms started, and Paxlovid removed all my symptoms the next day. The doctor's office told me to stop testing myself.

Thanks!!!

Does Aaron have any releases as a leader, or do you keep him chained in a room and only let him out wen you have a gig or recording session?

This has got to be seen to be believed:

RIP to one of the greats. I followed his career from his first roles in Roger Corman movies. My fave role was the crazy priest in "Little Murders". "It's alright! Everything is alright!"

Yeah, definitely not the timing of the seasons.

I'm not talking about Rod Argent here, I'm vamping on some changes...

Sorry to hear that. I still wear a mask in any indoor gathering where the A/C is turned on. I don't care what people think; there's always gonna be a summer surge.

Detectable? I find it delectable! When one of them unknowingly stumbles in here, and I feast my fangs on their supple flesh and blood, I realize that Stoker was probably a Boomer himself, and was alerting future generations of the unquenchable pleasure of nubile, female blo- wait I better stop here, I don't want to scare any of them off!

Technically , not a jazz book, but Spencer Dryden sat in with Shelly Manne and was known to be a jazz drummer, Grace Slick scatted little things and listened to Ella and Sarah, Jack Casady played jazz with Danny Gatton in DC, and liked Mingus and Scott La Faro Jorma did play some early jazz in Hot Tuna, and Marty Balin was more into R&B than rock. Papa John Creach worked with Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, and Nat Cole in some movie. I'm reading "Got a Revolution!: The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane" by Jeff Tamarkin. There are many times when they practiced free improvisation on their records and performing live, too. They were busted many times for drug possession but never spent a day in jail. They all got into harder stuff than pot and LSD, but didn't die young like all their SF friends. Grace Slick performed on nationwide TV in blackface, survived a drunken car accident at 150 MPH, lived with every member of the band except Jack Casady (they never liked each other), and told the audience once that they would never be able to afford things like limousines and shrimp salad like the Airplane did, because they couldn't do anything, and should get off their fat asses and do something. Marty Balin wound up in the hospital after jumping down from the stage at Altamont, and trying to help the Black guy that was murdered by the Hell's Angels ( who were acquitted of all charges). He was the founder of the Airplane and was so sick of them that he left them for three months, and no one even called him, so he decided to call it quits. And so on...

Thanks!

What's the English translation?

Yeah, I read that book, too, and it seemed like Drake was pretty much at the end of his rope, trying to get FH to cover all his songs. He lived in a houseboat near where she lived, just to convince her to make an album of his songs, but she didn't think they fit her style, and refused to do any of his songs. Then they hired studio musician Reg Dwight(EJ) to make a demo of three of his songs, and they sent 100 copies out to 100 different artists, but no one wanted to record them. You can't say Island Records didn't believe in ND's music, people in Europe just didn't care for it. I don't think it ever reached the States. There was a similar case with Judee Sill, except that people in the States didn't seem to like her music, while people in England seemed to love it. I think in ND's case, it seemed like intentional suicide, where in Sill's case, it was an accidental OD.

Sounds like something Yogi Berra would say in jest.

I got it for the first time this Christmas, and after one sleepless night,I got a script for Paxlovid. It worked pretty fast, and I was able to sleep again. The only side effect was dizziness when I'd bend down. but that could've been an inner ear problem I get once in a while.

Maybe everywhere else in the world, but in this book and thread on it, only the thoughts of Miles and Trane exist. When taking on Wallace Roney as his protege, the first thing he told "Wally" was not to listen to Clifford Brown, because he didn't swing.

Yes, it was exactly that period.

He was very depressed about Coltrane, Cannonball, Evans and even his rhythm section leaving him. He was also envious of their success. He used to make fun of Cannonball's hit on Mercy, Mercy Mercy" Miles used to call it "Country Joe"!!!!! LOL!
