I picked up The House of Bradley up a little while back. Sort of a listen to once and file in the basement for me. The Junior Bradley cuts are nice is a 50's swingin' kind of way the Will Bradley with Strings is a little too easy listening for my taste. But the cover does in fact say Jack Montrose on Saxophone.

From the link provided above. DVD Review By Joe Lang Jazz on the West Coast: The Lighthouse A Film by Ken Koenig 78 Minutes, $25.00 Rose King Productions, 2006 "Over the years, many of the greats players of jazz graced the Lighthouse stage. Initially, Rumsey was able to present racially mixed groups with players like Teddy Edwards, Sonny Criss and Hampton Hawes sharing the stage with their white contemporaries. In fact, during a short period when Rumsey ended up incarcerated for a minor drug offense, Edwards filled his position as musical director of the Lighthouse. Within a few years, it became apparent that the black musicians were no longer welcome in Hermosa Beach. This was not a situation that set well with Rumsey and Levine, but they were realistic enough to understand that, in this case, it was best not to fight City Hall. There followed a ten-year period when black players were rarely among the players at the Lighthouse. There was a brief period of about six months, starting in September 1953 when this situation was eased. Max Roach was hired to replace Shelly Manne in the drum chair, and during Roach’s tenure players like Miles Davis suddenly started to appear at the Lighthouse. Max was like a magnet for the greatest stars in jazz, players who wanted to sit in with one of the masters of modern jazz drumming. Following the end of Roach’s contract with the club, Stan Levey was in on drums, and things returned to the way they were before Roach’s arrival, although this was not a reflection on Levey as a player or a person. There were still occasional players like saxophonist/flutist Buddy Collette and pianist Sonny Clark who broke the color line, but they were few and far between until the early 1960’s when the tensions eased, and racially mixed groups once again became the norm." an quote from the review.

I never heard of that either. MG On page 201 of "West Coast Jazz", Giola says, "Although he was a star attraction for almost two years, Edwards received two weeks' notice when a new group of musicians became available for the gig. Shorty Rogers had been invited to play at a New Year's Eve performance during his Christmas break from Kenton, and then was asked to join the band full-time. Along with other new additions Jimmy Giuffre and Shelly Manne, Rogers and Rumsey formed the nucleus of a new Lighthouse All-Stars – one much different from its Central Avenue – infused predecessor." "This largely unnoticed shift in personnel marked a symbolic turning point distinguishing the new "movement" of the 1950's from the Central Avenue – dominated scene of the 1940's" Hmmm, any other sources to look to on this? I have not read any of the books that focus on the Central Ave. scene, do any of those mention race being an issue for working at the Lighthouse? Bill

I was thinkin' the same thing. It might be in part because so many of these songs got played to death, over and over and over again. And then played some more and then put on anthologies of songs that were played too much.

You don't think he rolls out of bed looking that good it takes time to be one of the beautiful people.

Link to preview Looks good from the clip. Interesting write up here. I did not know about the no blacks at the Lighthouse deal, I wonder if they gloss over, or dig into that in the movie. Hmm, I have to re-read Giola and see what he says.

why limit yourself with such a blanket statement do i even care

Elvis Costello - Radio, Radio

Thanks for the info, especially the info on isolating which component is causing the trouble. What I did that seems to be helping is attach a ground wire to the ground on the wall socket, then simply alligator clipped that to the amp. I listened to to records for about 4 hrs. yesterday without a problem, plus I no longer get a little static shock every time I touch the unit. Thanks again, Bill The

Is Tears For Dolphy back in print?! A good friend of mine sent me a copy of it a few years back when it was OOP. What an outstanding album! Then again, I'm a HUGE Dolphy fan!!! Don't know, this was a used Arista vinyl.

I picked up Tears for Dolphy due to this thread and good god damn I'm diggin it. At the same time I picked up a copy of the Oliver Nelson / Steve Allen lp for $2.00 because I couldn't believe it could be as horrible as reputed, well its worse.

It's Happy the Happy Oil Drop. I use to have a 6 foot tall poster of him in my living room. You could see it from outside looking in through the front windows, the neighbors thought we were a little strange, and well they might have been right. Bill

I have tried messin' with the volume knob and other knobs and switches and that doesn't seem to effect anything. Based on a combination of ignorance and intuition I have thought: A. It could be the cheap old rca cable that connects the pre-amp and the amp B. A loose connections at the female rca connectors on the amp C. The whole unit needs to be grounded. by the way, it's running great today

Would a faulty potentiometer give any other symptoms?

Yep.

Can static build up in an amp, or in one’s stereo system? Sometimes the clarity will go away and I hear static in the music. If I turn everything off it seems to clear it’s self, briefly, or I can clear it briefly by disconnecting and then reconnecting the rca cables going from the pre-am (mitsubishi da-c7) and the amp (mitsubishi da-a7dc). It is intermittent and very annoying. I am using the turntable 95% of the time, but I have also heard it when I listen to a cd. Any suggestions for possible solutions or further trouble-shooting I could do? Thanks, Bill
