Swinging Swede

Cannon. 'Cause cannon trumps gun.

Well, what about Columbia, RCA Victor and Decca?

Miles Davis: Evil Sadism A Livid Mess Ornette Coleman: Met No Tolerance Lame Cornet Tone

A couple I remember from years ago: Michael Cuscuna: Music Launch Ace Nice Casual Chum

Wayne Shorter = Hear Wry Notes Earlier threads here:

Aren't they actually three sisters?

Chrome user here. "very slightly above average" ...hmmm...

Then it must be an IE9 thing (which I don't have have installed at the moment). I tested with my IE8 and it works correctly there too. Try Firefox and/or Chrome and see if it works correctly there. It should. If you don't have them, they are free and quick and easy to download and install. It doesn't hurt to have them installed as well, even if you don't use them as primary browsers.

I can see it now. G-iant Steps. Kenny G Plays the Music of John Coltrane.

Lord mentions nothing about this. What few other sources I have found seem to indicate that the original LP was inconsistent when it came to the titling of these two tracks in liner notes vs label vs credits. See here for example. My main hypothesis would be that these are the same tracks, especially in the case of Atlantic, where almost all unissued tracks perished in the 1979 warehouse fire.

Now they can put him on their compilations together with Coltrane and Rollins.

If I click "Multiquote" it turns green. When I then click "Add Reply", all the posts for which I have clicked "Multiquote" appear as quotes in the edit area. If you don't get this behaviour, the first question would be what browser and version you have? It could be that this functionality uses some technique that isn't supported in all browsers/versions. (I'm using Chrome 12 on Windows 7 by the way.) Actually I now even discovered that it works so well that if I click "Multiquote" in one thread, switch to another tab with a different thread and click "Add Reply" those quotes will appear there too!

Before the Mosaic some of the tracks were released on the Storyville LP/CD Master Of Jazz, albeit with made-up tune titles, since the actual ones were not known at the time. Thus Shorty Gull was released as Cambridge Blue, for example.

Yes, there are scores of musicians who took their first recorded solos during the Swing Era and later adopted the bop language, resulting in a very different style. Too many to mention really. Something similar happened when Coltrane came along, as you mention.

I knew he had surgery but didn't know he needed to learn to play all over again. That explains his style change. As I have understood it, he lost not only his memory of how to play but of pretty much everything. So I think Martino is a special case; he could practically be seen as a different guitarist now. In unusual cases the memory can apparently be permanently lost without the mental capabilities otherwise being noticeably impaired. I saw a TV programme once about a guy who in his teens had been involved in a minor car accident and seemed unscathed. But the connection in his brain to his memory had been damaged somehow and he never regained it. He had to learn everything again: walking, talking etc. He ended up a normal person, but with a different personality than before the accident.

I think it is the poster of the track, "Legacy Recordings", that may be Sony, not the Soundcloud site itself. The Wikipedia article on Soundcloud mentions nothing about a Sony affiliation.

Kid Krupa!

Wow, great! Thanks for the link!

Harry "Sweets" Edison perhaps, when he played those long repeated notes?

So, who plays too few notes? Count Basie in later years? Paul Desmond, who proclaimed that he was the world's slowest alto player?

And at 27 to boot. She will now be another member of the famous 27 Club: Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse.

And if you think that Oscar Peterson's piano playing was influenced by Nat "King" Cole - then listen to his singing! It is amazingly similar to Cole's. Edit: mikelz777 beat me to it!

Another CD first is this one: Things had started to change now, but this is an excellent live album too, this time with the quintet from 1967 (still with Zawinul on piano). By the time we get into the 70s, Adderley's Capitols became strange affairs, but the earlier Capitol albums are strong, and generally overlooked, perhaps because they didn't fair well in the CD reissue era (although that has been rectified a bit recently).
