  1. Not sure if it's the colour or what, but dude I'm scared of that!
  2. It's kinda obvious, but Haden's playing on Ornette's "Ramblin'" turned me on to him and still knocks me out.
  3. I've always wondered, are there any recordings of any sort o his breif tenure with Miles? Not that that's more important than anything else he did, but still gotta wonder...
  4. MTM should've gotten a lifetime acheivement award for Perky.
  5. I saw Ornette not that long ago and he had three bassists: one high, one low, one arco. And they all stayed out of each others way and sound great!
  6. Michael Henderson - with Miles, haven't heard him much elsewhere
  7. and Gary Peacock - Spiritual unity, but not just there Johnny Dyani - everything of what little I've heard Wilber Ware on Night at the Village Vanguard Richard Davis on Van's Astral Weeks
  8. Cecil McBee (on that BN LP with Shorter, among other places) Art Davis Steve Davis (Coltrane Plays the Blues) Wellman Braud Adrian Rollini (it's a role, not an instrument, IMHO) tuba player with the Dirty Dozen whose name I'm forgetting Duck Dunn James Jamerson Tommy Cogbill Bernie Odem (and charles Sheril and a bunch of other guys whose playing with James changed things) Paul McCartney (as the Mono Beatles box makes totally clear)
  9. Interesting choices, as always, and some potential vote splitters...
  10. glurge http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=glurge
  11. Meade Lux Lewis, Honky Tonk Train, the version on Bluenote
  12. Yes, but Ebola is the new threat and the flu has always been there...
  13. Haven't we discussed this before? Typical contemporary crap: selfcentered, revelling in its own ignorance, utterly pointless. except, she kinda gets it, despite herself - except for Ghosts, Alberts tunes are more gestures than tunes- and that is kinda interesting, both the thing itself and her kinda getting it, but I still find her totally annoying...
  14. nice coat 'n tie
  15. I got John Patton's Blue John from my local Bricks 'n Mortor and the +5 are nice but they definitely went for the greasiest stuff on the original, and we'll probably never hear the 2 that are left now.
  16. I have a number of LPs stamped "Stolen from Brother Ben", a Magic Sam autographed across the label (the sleeve is missing, I bought it in another sleeve) and I gave my brother a copy of the deluxe dbl CD of Howlin' Wolf London Sessions with an efuusive dedication from the producer, Norman Dayron, to his then new neighbours...
  17. Has Rice been charged with a crime, if not - why?
  18. Mr. Hawkins plays nicely on the session under Henry Red Allen's leadership for RCA, as does everyone else on it, IMHO YMMV, etc.
  19. It was Clark Gable and Gary Cooper that owned the two Duesenberg SSJ roadsters. thanks for the correction, lovely vehicles they are!
  20. As to the second point, probably not, but how can we say? As to the first, again, this is not an avant garde vs. mainstream thing. Josh Berman, Keefe Jackson, or Mike Reed are not working in strictly avant garde contexts. Neither is Sylvie Courvoisier, nor Tarbaby or Trio 3, nor Nicole Mitchell, Steve Lehman, Tony Malaby, Angelica Sanchez, Wadada Leo Smith, Dennis Gonzalez, Harris Eisenstadt ... It's a question of accurately representing the landscape of modern jazz. If you like the new Dave Douglas & Uri Cane record, there's nothing that would scare you away from anyone I listed above. There's no reason to ignore what's actually happening. Shrug. I still don't understand why you believe these guys are making "original music" in a way that Jason Moran is not. Seems like this boils down to "music I like" and "music I don't like". perhaps because the album featured on NPR is a tribute to Fats Waller?
  21. IIRC correctly, Cary Grant and Gary Cooper owned the only two short wheelbase Duessenburg roadsters ever made. Ironically it was these rare cars dimensions that later would-be replicas were based on/off.
  22. I wouldn't be able to label Roach's "Brown Sugar" "good stuff". Boring stuff might be a better descriptor. Brown Sugar is delicious, you're...missing out.
  23. him = Bobby Broom?
  24. The confusion of jazz with standards, and 'just plain' standards with 'jazz standards', is a subject for another day; but TN Waltz is totally a 'just plain' standard and has been recorded by > than a few jazzers too: http://www.secondhandsongs.com/performance/14354
