from the saturn list Michael Sheppard, longtime L.A. concert promoter and founder of the Iridescence and Transparency labels, died in his sleep at age 59 last Thursday, March 17. a nice article:http://www.laweekly.com/music/musicians-remember-the-late-michael-sheppard-las-champion-of-the-weird-6739588 i doubt that the sun ra people got royalties, but he certainly did release a lot of sun ra audio and video concerts, many of which were new to collectors. https://www.discogs.com/label/55454-Transparency?page=1&genre=Jazz&limit=100

Best city to live in for 'Quality of Life'
l p replied to A Lark Ascending's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
from yesterday's news: http://www.khq.com/story/31488632/mad-minute-stories-from-wednesday-march-16th COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- Denmark, perhaps better known for its fictional, suicide-agonizing prince Hamlet and fierce marauding Vikings than being a nation of the happiest people, has just won that very accolade. Again. Even U.S. Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have singled out the small Scandinavian country as an example of a happy, well-oiled society. On Wednesday, the United Nations made it official: It found Danes to be the happiest people on Earth in a study of 156 countries. Knud Christensen, a 39-year-old social worker, knows one reason why his compatriots are laid-back - they feel secure in a country with few natural disasters, little corruption and a near absence of drastic events. "We have no worries," Christensen said, smiling as he stood on a Copenhagen street near the capital's City Hall. "And if we do worry, it's about the weather. Will it rain today, or remain gray, or will it be cold?" The Scandinavian nation of 5.6 million has held the happy title twice before since the world body started measuring happiness around the world in 2012. The accolade is based on a variety of factors: People's health and access to medical care, family relations, job security and social factors, including political freedom and degree of government corruption. Egalitarian Denmark, where women hold 43 percent of the top jobs in the public sector, is known for its extensive and generous cradle-to-grave welfare. Few complain about the high taxes as in return they benefit from a health care system where everybody has free access to a general practitioner and hospitals. Taxes also pay for schools and universities, and students are given monthly grants for up to seven years. Many feel confident that if they lose their jobs or fall ill, the state will support them. Jeffrey Sachs from Columbia University, one of those behind the report, says that happiness and well-being should be on every nation's agenda. "Human well-being should be nurtured through a holistic approach that combines economic, social and environmental objectives," he said in a statement before the World Happiness Report 2016 was to be officially presented in Rome on Wednesday. The Roman Catholic Church welcomed the study, declaring that happiness is "linked to the common good, which makes it central to Catholic social teaching," according to Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, one of Pope Francis' key advisers. Kaare Christensen, a university professor in demography and epidemiology in Odense, where fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen was born, says it doesn't take much to satisfy Danes. "They are happy with what they get. Danes have no great expectations about what they do or what happens to them," she said Christian Bjoernskov, an economy professor at the University of Aarhus, Denmark's second- largest city, believes feelings of self-assurance and self-determination have a lot to do with it. "Danes feel confident in one another... when we stand together, we can succeed," he says. "And they also have a strong belief they can decide their own lives." After Denmark, the next happiest nations last year were Switzerland, Iceland and Norway, followed by Finland, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia and Sweden. The United States was 13th place, two spots higher than the previous year. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> makes you want to pack up and move. -
i think it was the previous powell bio (mid/late 1990's?), it had some musicians who witnessed the situation both in paris and nyc, claimed that paudras was taking advantage of powell, and basically used him. and if my chronology is correct, it was shorly after that bio came out that paudras blew his brains out. edit: the timing could have been a coincidence, because paudras also had family and health problems. if Ramsey had this information for his dissertation and for the current book, both would have been quite different. as it stands, it seems that Ramsey read only paudras' account of their relationship. https://books.google.com/books?id=g1YYaqWNehUC&printsec=frontcover&dq=%22bud+powell%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjEnpSzsMXLAhWBmIMKHc0LA6oQuwUILzAB#v=onepage&q=paudras&f=false

In the Chrome menu, go to settings and scroll down to Show Advanced Settings. Click this and under the Privacy heading, click Content Settings. In the pop-up window, scroll down to Plug-ins and select the Click to play radio button [let me choose when to run plugin content]. -

Gil Evans tune question (i.d.) "C Blues" aka "Blues In C" aka "Blues Inc. Medley"
l p replied to l p's topic in Discography
thanks for all the info. i guess this title is the most accurate for 1984 live versions: as titled on 840827 Live at Sweet Basil Vol.1Blues in C (suite including "John's Memory" "Cheryl" "Bongo Beep" "Relaxin at Camarillo") and same title even for the 1984 versions that don't have the opening theme that can be heard from 38:12-42:07 on the sweet basil youtube link above. it doesn't make 100% sense, but naming them Blues in C (suite including "Cheryl" "Bongo Beep" "Relaxin at Camarillo") would make even less sense. -
Gil Evans tune question (i.d.) "C Blues" aka "Blues In C" aka "Blues Inc. Medley"
l p replied to l p's topic in Discography
on the Royal Festival Hall version, does "Blues Inc. Medley" have the two themes before "Cheryl"? (as in the very first post, youtube 'golden hair' album). theme 1 from 0:00-3:40, theme 2 from 3:41 - 4:08. -
Gil Evans tune question (i.d.) "C Blues" aka "Blues In C" aka "Blues Inc. Medley"
l p replied to l p's topic in Discography
it doesn't sound exactly like Stratusphunk. on the sweet basil youtube link above, the tune starts at 38:12, and the 'mystery theme' starts at 42:07. i guess what i'm most interested in is - if the section from 38:12 to 42:07 has been recorded under another title, and if the mystery theme that starts at 42:07 has been recorded under another title (these may very well be two parts of the same composition). and why isn't "John's Memory" listed on the other two issued versions. it sounds like the 'mystery theme' is the transition theme used between these sections: theme 1, "Cheryl" "Bird Feathers" "Relaxin at Camarillo". i have 3 other live versions of this suite, and two of the versions are without the opening theme (theme 1). they both start with the mystery theme and go into cheryl, etc. i guess the likely thing seems to be this: after 780225 At the Royal Festival Hall (assuming that it has the 2 opening themes), gil gave the name "John's Memory" to these 2 opening themes. -

http://gilevans.free.fr/compo_us/ecran_compo.htm 840827 Live at Sweet Basil Vol.1 Blues in C (suite including "John's Memory" "Cheryl" "Bird Feathers" "Relaxin at Camarillo") 871126 Golden Hair C Blues (suite including "Cheryl" "Bird Feathers" "Relaxin at Camarillo") both suites above have: title 1, title 2 (the theme in question 3:41 - 4:08), "Cheryl", "Bongo Beep", "Relaxin at Camarillo" (bird feathers is an old dial title for bongo beep, but these are two different tunes) i haven't heard the one below, but i suspect that it's the same suite with the title misprinted on the album (Blues Inc. = Blues In c.) 780225 At the Royal Festival Hall Blues Inc. Medley (suite including "Cheryl" "Birdhead" [="Bird Feathers"] "Relaxin at Camarillo") -
that glenn jones email has almost no relevant information. looking at a couple of posts above that one: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/1087-revenant-is-planning-big-albert-ayler-box/&do=findComment&comment=1001469 The Ayler 'Copenhagen Tapes' release has a note indicating: 'Licensed from the Ayler Estate, p and copyright 2002' Had an email exchange with Jan Ström after he was ordered in 2008 to stop the publication of the CD. Jan mentioned it had been impossible to reach an agreement with the Ayler family for a renewal of the licence and added that the family was simply asking for too much money! >>>>>>>>>>> this is around the time that stollman was working with, and, i believe, representing the ayler estate. it would appear to me that the ayler family could be better off, now that he's not whispering in their ear. strom should try them again. they're probably throwing out less rejections these days.

from my understanding, it seems to have been all esp/stollman. the Ayler estate had very little, or nothing to do with it. i was told that what got revenant into trouble is that they included this on the holy ghost box (this is the second half of the June 14, 1964 live session, previously released by sunny murray on ALBERT SMILES WITH SUNNY). Evidently the entire session is owned by esp. The Cellar Cafe, New York June 14, 1964 1. Spirits [incomplete] (6:38) 2. Saints (10:32) 3. Ghosts [incomplete] (10:56) 4. The Wizard (6:51) 5. Children (9:05) 6. Spirits [theme] (0:28)

Scatting to Hank Mobley's solo on If I Should Lose you.
l p replied to Hardbopjazz's topic in Miscellaneous Music
when scatting is done on fast songs (ella), i just want to break my stereo in half. i recently heard a joke about scatting "wouldn't it be easier to just learn the words?" -
so if a musician is exclusively signed to a label, then that musician's family can't release any tapes from the time frame that he was signed to that label. it's kind of a fucked up deal now for collectors and for the families of the musicians. there would be a lot more music out there for us to hear if the families could release anything that they wanted.
-
yes, that info sounds like it would be from an old broadcast. from the linked article- >>> But Thelonious didn’t have that kind of commitment behind him, so he started recording himself, and a lot of other people started recording him too, because they couldn’t get live recordings of him. >>> this isn't really true. 95% of the unissued material is from european radio/tv broadcasts. there are very few audience recordings of monk. but they (the family) do seem to have family tapes and nica's tapes. although there may be very little of this material, and it may all be released and in circulation now. i've wondered why that family site stopped selling cd's shortly after starting. probably got sued by columbia or families of the sidemen. it was a very brief endeavor.

there was an interesting post on the saturn list a few months ago about this album Sun Ra and his Arkestra Song of the Stargazers Saturn 6161 (NMY), LP 487 Side A: The Others in their World (Ra, not the 1960 piece) Somewhere Out (Ra) Distant Stars (Ra, not the 1960 piece either) Duo Side B: Seven Points (Ra) Cosmo Dance (Ra) Galactic Synthesis (Ra) (all above info from moudry's site) >>>>>> saturn post: So I was listening to a dub of the rare Saturn LP, Song of the Stargazers yesterday, first listen in about a decade, and it hit me. This is not a record by Sun Ra or the Arkestra. The more I listen to it, the more I think this is the case. The first thing that clued me in was track 6, Cosmo Dance. Campbell in the 2nd ed. puts this track in the late 60s. But I would bet money that Sun Ra never touched it in any way. Nothing about it sounds like his work, not the composition, not the arrangement, not the flautist, nothing. I thought maybe it was Salah Ragab's Cairo Jazz Band, but the dates don't work. Next was the piano solo at the end of Galactic Synthesis. I just don't think that's Sun Ra. It's not his touch or phrasing. I don't think it's Cecil Taylor either, but it sounds more like him than Sunny. Same with the piano solo on Somewhere Out. Same with the organ playing on the first track The Others in Their World. It's closer to Sun Ra than the piano, but it still isn't him. Even the improvised ensembles don't sound like the ones he directed in the 70s either. Michael Ray is definitely not on this record. Him I'd recognize in three notes. Neither is Marshall Allen or John Gilmore. Furthermore I can't say with any certainty that I recognize any musician on this record. In entries 289-292 of the 2nd ed., Campbell keeps pointing out how unusual the performances are. The last time I remember having a discussion about this on the list, we were all stumped where and when it came from. At the time I fooled myself in to thinking that most of the material was from the late 60s. But apply Occam's Razor, and it all becomes clear. It's not a Sun Ra record. So what is this record? It was the last LP that Alton Abraham put out of Chicago. How many years since he had gotten any new material from Sun Ra? Maybe he got an emergency request for an LP to sell, scraped together a tape some other Chicago band he knew, forgot to master both sides of the tape, tacked on some old Sun Ra song titles and shipped it to Europe. Who knows? Alton Abraham was known for very...unusual...business practices. I don't think throwing together a pseudo-Sun Ra LP would have been entirely outside the pale for him.

on this track, she sounds like someone we know.

The 1978-1982 dejohnette as-leader shows are quite excellent. He seems to have been a good/strong leader. Usually with cello/bass (peter warren), alto sax (blythe or purcell), tenor sax/bass clarinet (chico freeman or david murray), sometimes guitar (abercrombie), and jack on drums and piano. public theatre, nyc 3-18-78 cambridge, ma 4-10-79 chicago 4-6-80 baltimore 5-4-80 willisau, switz. 8-29-80 edmonton, alberta, can. 1980 santa monica 10-31-81 moers, ger. 5-30-82 hamburg 6-4-82 ljubljana, yugoslavia 6-18-82 nurnberg, ger. 1982 Tunes usually played: One for Eric Zoot Suite Central Park West India (Coltrane) Tin Can Alley Pastel Rhapsody Riff Raff
