Just gave a first spin to Cecil McBee's "Mutima" (German Bellaphon CD), which I acquired last week - pretty nice!

Ah, silly me... it's the shout chorus there that I mean! Memory played a trick on me... (I mixed it up with a sax soli in another swinging number we did back then, but I can't remember what I meant). Anyway, what I'm interested in is that shout chorus, but it's really so simple, I guess I can play it after listening to it two more times...

Your request leaves me a little confused. I have the Neal Hefti arrangement. Yes there's a kind of call and response between the reeds and the brass, but there is no sax soli. However, there's space for a tenor sax solo. Maybe it's just all part of the theme... I don't quite remember that arrangement we played back then. Would you have a lead sheet or anything? Maybe a tenor part? I'll have to play the recording again later, but I have to run now.

bump for the merkins!

Just in case that's not clear: I'm speaking of the Neal Hefti arrangement done for Count Basie on "The Atomic Basie"! We played that in high school but of course I don't have any sheet music left from that time...

Hey guys... in six weeks or so, I'll play some saxophone at my sister's weeding - she wanted none of them church ogun... well, she'll get it at the opening and closing of the ceremony, but in between me and a friend of hers will play three fancy duets on tenor/bari and I might even try the bitchy soprano for one... now I have some weird idea to hook up "Fever" (her choice) with parts of "Splanky"... and as I'm a lazy bastard and haven't been transcribing anything for years now, and time is scarce, would anyone here have some kind of lead sheet and the sax soli part of that tune and could send me scans? That would be oh-so-kind! (And believe me, as I usually play in B, I'll still be transcribing some bits for the baritone anyway, so I'll still get some practice... and I'll also be trying some kind of arrangement of "Waltzing Matilda", that chestnut from down under... which is where I might try the bitchy straight horn, too.)

As it wasn't me, here's another possible lead (though it's not listed in that thread).

as in: of course

I've got a few ideas... took a few notes, but only 3-4 tracks so far... though maybe February 2011 might be fine. Just a little fun compilation though, nothing big on the scale of my first BFT and nothing so strictly thematic as my second one. #83 also kind of suits me

Gee, I'd love to see him again!

no no, guns don't kill!

Saw Lee Konitz live twice - both times a thrill! Also Oliver Lake (three times) and Roscoe Mitchell in a terrific solo performance (mostly alto, some soprano, too). Allen, great story about Jackie! Might have been interesting, certainly more so than CT/Coltrane (which again might have been interesting somewhat later - or earlier? - in the game) and might have pushed Jackie into directions... more progressive?

Amazing!

r.i.p. - love his photos, and yes, they will stay!

Thanks, got the files in, hope to listen tomorrow!

As far as I know, the artwork is in the public domain as well. Why wouldn't it be? Do those PD laws cover everything equally? Or do the recordings themselves and the art itself fall under different laws? I would guess that they're seperate issues. Many of the EU issues don't duplicate the artwork. I think with pictures (as with books, texts...) it's more like "70 years after the death of the creator/originator". That's why Lone Hill and Definitive and Fresh Sound (the long-term projects among these labels) usually don't display cover art (though Fresh Sound has started to display small images of the covers inside their booklets more and more often in the past few years).

Sure, although not as number one. And let's not forget another great Smith: Tab Smith. And while we're at altoists nor mentioned before in the thread: Earl Bostic. And John Jackson! Yes on Tab and Jackson - not so sure about Bostic... I can take about 3-4 tracks of him at the time. As for Willie Smith: not a #1 choice, sure... but everyone's been posting lengthy lists and he turned up on none. Well, I guess people just aren't playing Jimmie Lunceford any longer.

No one else in for some Willie Smith?

Charlie Parker, of course! And also Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, Johnny Hodges, Benny Carter, Willie Smith, Cannonball Adderley, Jimmy Lyons, Art Pepper, Lee Konitz, Bud Shank, Dudu Pukwana, Kippie Moeketsi...

Happy Birthday! :party:

Saw that one in a store yesterday - it's one of those cheapos with just one-fold booklets and no liners... nothing new about it I guess, just a cheap re-packing of an older, presumably OOP disc (others in the series include albums by Miles, Brubeck, Garner, Bill Evans etc). And among the new ones that showed up was also a 2CD set of Mingus "Tijuana Moods" - hence presumably also the Bluebird First Editions version (the "right" one, there was an RCA Gold Series 2CD set that freaked up).

Not sure I've seen her besides "A Face in the Crowd" but she sure is fantastic there!

I still have a spare copy of "Soundin' Off" for sale (15$ plus shipping) - drop me a PM! edit: sorry - not "Soundin' Off" but "Comin' On" (and also "Blues in Trinity") for sale! Was too tired to be allowed to post last night!

So Sony instead of mining their own (or rather: Columbia's) vaults is re-re-re-issuing some RCA (used to be BMG) material, smart move... sure they'll sell loads and loads of this oh-so-new title! Same as Brownie, I've got the Bluebird First Editions reissue.
