Even more true for orphan cars like Studebaker...

Maybe the're punishing me for not spending v. much time in SK this year...

How the hell did that happen!?

Wish i could, but I've got two aged pets running up vet bills currently. Nice set.

I forgot to mention my friend and fine guitarist, Terry Robb.

But in any event, the position that freemasonary has had any discernable influence or inspiration on jazz music as art form is clearly wishful thinking, delusional and quite historically incorrect. That's what they want us to think....

Since you mentioned Derek Bailey, I hear a connection to him in John Fahey, who recorded much besides blues, but whose guitar playing is pretty much blues-based. Also I think the guitar playing on Muddy Waters' Folk Singer is particularly fine - Muddy and Buddy Guy on acoustics.

What exactly is this Brotzman/Sharrock mentioned above?

In additions to all that great work on Hi, I believe Teenie and his cohorts also played on Slim Harpo's "Tip On In"

Threadgill makes me think of Matana Roberts (and vice versa). I'm completely in awe of your ability to get things done, either your own playing projects or the compilations of others work would be fulltime by itself for most people. Or Muhal, or Tom Harrell, not that they need to be giving you stuff, but maybe they have some leftovers that just don't fit their other projects.

and I can feel yours, so to speak...

Too much unconvention to be alone! Chess records' current owners should put out a CD of all the dates Muddy was a sideman on, I counted it and it's a v. nice full CD's worth - this, some little Walter, some Sunnyland Slim, some Jimmie Rodgers, I must be forgetting something. A CD of Little Walter sideman dates, apart from Muddy that is, would be nice too.

Just an update to say she's doing fine, and we're going to have some kind of party this fall to celebrate my 60th and 20 years together. If you're in Portland, OR then you're welcome to come.

Not much of a hobnobber, even when I was writing about music on a regular basis, but I must mention the one name musician I've played with as an exceptionally nice guy: Perry Robinson and lots of local musicians here in Portland - Dover Weinberg, Carlton Jackson, Jack McMahon, Jackie from Smegma, Jennifer from Sound Sunday Pleasure, Jim Mesi, Steve Bradley, Dave Stewart, Paul Jones, Jan Celt, Peter Ford, etc.; and from the Twin Cities - Scot Fultz, Tim Duroach, all the guys from Straight No Filter and the Pettiford project. And from Saskatoon, Lee Kozak and Bill Richards (now in Edmonton).

this is well worth checking out http://www.amazon.com/Janice-Scroggins-Plays-Scott-Joplin/dp/B000003J06 lots of other performances on youtube

I didn't know her, although I've heard her a number of times, but I certainly know lots of others who did, including my Co-worker Jan who's sitting about 10 ft away and who recorded Plays Scott Joplin

Seems to me that there are several rather different styles displayed here, presumably they all have their own (sub)genre designation, no?

Nice to see an (presumably) accurate and detailed discussion of the musical particularities involved, and a recognition that the legal, aesthetic and moral issues are (at least) three different things. Next step would be to use these to dig into the evident disconnect between what musicians think the're doing and what their audience thinks the're doing... Back to the topic at hand, seems a much weaker case than the Jake Holmmes (?) has never brought (?) for Dazed and Confused, or the ones they settled with Willie Dixon's people - it's just a somewhat similar guitar intro, which was only sorta Spirit's to start with, that they could have had other sources for, and really how much did that contribute to the success of the song as a whole, either musically or commercially - I'd say what sold the song more than any of the details was the overall build-up from quiet beginning to pounding end, and that's been done a million times too...

But before that, you can always, always tell Bird by how many "there's" there were in one solo. Nobody else had that many (and let's also consider timral variety, not "tone", but how much color-shading you can put in your line, you'd be surprised how many flatliners there are in that regard, and today, hell, it's a fucking plague, I cannot listen to all these people who flatline their way throug a bunch of theoretical twists and turns and not one really vary their timbre of even their interior pulse, just FWEEDLEEEDLEEEDLEEEDLEEEDLEEEDLEEEDLEEEDLEEEDLEEEDLEEEDLE STOP IT,MUSIC IS A LANGUAGE PLEASE STOP MONOTONEDRONING ME TO PAST-DEATH, YOU HAVE MADE ME HATE JAZZ!!!!!)., but Sonny was getting close on these records. And Monk was directing traffic, like only Monk could. Monk could comp like a freakin' genius composer/conductor, uh, wait, he was a genius composer/conductor. This: yes, oh hell yes! (and, by the way, this is why Branford is wrong about Fathead not being jazz...)

So, how much money has White Christmas generated for Irving Berlin and his heirs? Even if it's jujst a few cents per copy sold, thats times 50 million for Bing's recordingplus all the other versions - what, 50 to 100 million more? Intellectual property, better than owning real estate...

Surprising he he didn't record with Dudu Pukwana, Mike Osbourne or Trevor Watts - at least not as far as I know Three pretty significant saxophonists of the 70's and 80's Don Cherry did record with Dudu Pukwana on Johnny Dyani's Song for Biko album. Thanks Me needs to look for that CD. On steeplechase, I think.... Yes. And, as Chuck (I believe) pointed out some time ago, the CD has a cut that the LP lacks. Yes, I failed to mention Dudu Pukwana but I do have it and it's quite nice, as is everything i've heard of Dyani

Don Cherry deserved some kinda MVP award, is there any significant sax player even spitting distance to the A-G he didn't record with? (Ornette, Sonny, 'Trane, Ayler, Gato, James Clay, Pharogh, etc.) It's like blue Mitchel and organ players...wish Lester Bowie had done more of that, not that there's anything wrong with his regular gig, but I likes me some variety too (spinning off course into near incoherence).

Any Bill Hardman is good to find, and better to listen to.

someone's getting pegged at $210 million for a stadium and $93 million would be roughly $90 CND for every person in Saskatchewan!
