Saw Craig Handy's band at the Jazz Gallery on Thu. night. Was ok. Nothing spectacular. Sound was horrible.
Going to check out Sonny Rollins in the Park tout suite!
Yeah, I was wondering about that one, too. WTF is a floatation device?
Hey, Alexander, it doesn't take a mafia don to hate jews. In fact no intelligent mobster would say such a stupid thing. You know, they're all connected. Children of the East.
Have you used a record cleaning machine[rcm] after cleaning with the Disc Doctor and compared it to using Disc Doctor alone? Makes a world of difference.
Warning -
I think Richie Cole's albums mostly sucked.
I think it was a decade of saxophone solos less original than the 60s, many a times.
Even though I can name 200 awesome 70s sax solos.
But so many guys tried to do Coltrane[from all periods] and so many guys wanted to sound like John Klemmer..
There were some awesome records made too.
From Steve Marcus' "Count's Rock Band" in 71 to Anthony Davis & Jay Hoggard's "Under The Double Moon" and Tommy Flanagan's "Super-Session" in 1980,a decade later. And there was Hemphill !
Good point.
Even though sometimes 45 minutes is just about enough.
Is he a good guy to check out live? He's appearing in NY.
I'm not familiar with him, but have seen the name.
I've heard James Jackson though; he played bassoon for Sun Ra.
The show will be on for another season.
How do i know?
Last Friday i saw Larry David filming in the Broadway theaters' area, with a horse-drawn carriage.
This man is funnier than Woody Allen has been in the last 10-15 years.
This begs a follow-up question: Who can be credited with teaching Lee the art of composition and arranging?
I can't even make the choice re:favorite composition. Man was a prodigy and a genius.
