BeBop

Can't find track listings for these two CDs. Would appreciate any help. Don't need dates or personnel...I don't think I do anyway

Steve Reynolds. How 'bout that. Welcome. Just curious, what's 90% tenor? (10% playing something else? 10% not playing at all? Some Roland Kirk invention?) Personally, I play about 28% tenor.

Jazz, tubes and vinyl (and conrad-johnson) are always welcome 'round here! I'm enjoying my last day in the States with my PV2-Ar, MV75A, Sota Star Sapphire, three boxes of Franklin Mint recordings (Saxophone Stylists, Cool Jazz, Ellington) and a tall heap of individual LPs. This will have to hold me until April. Anyway, WELCOME!

I respectfully withdraw whatever question or comment prompted the conversation to turn to Mr. W. Marsalis. Define 'swing', I suppose? I didn't catch the PBS series on jazz with the aforementioned Mr. M, but, based on comments I've read, I suspect this definition may have been a big part of his 'contributions'.

By the way, would anyone care to attempt a defintion?

When I was growing up with jazz, we often spoke of swing. In fact, we probably spoke of this jazz element more than any other. At the time, we debated whether it was an essential element of jazz and we debated who swung and who didn't. (Cecil Taylor? Albert Ayler? Paul Quinichette?) I hang out on these board from time to time, and try to catch a representative sample of the threads (excepting Politics). I don't see much about the fundamental question: does it swing? So, who swings? Clark Terry? Harry Edison? Zoot Sims? What swings? The Basie Band? And is it essential?

Are you a secret agent? B-) Peace Corps would be closer...

<<Bebop -- I can't imagine travelling anywhere without my MP3 (hard drive) player, and a good pair of noise cancelling headphones>> Unfortunately, where I go, I can't carry anything of value, even if I'm willing to surrender it to would-be theives or customs/immigration officials. Things of value just attract too much attention when one is 'off the beaten path'. Rental car? No such thing in my neck of the woods. Hopefully, things will change one day...someday before I retire. For now, I get my kicks from hearing the music of the world, performed on the world stage.

Ah, the quintessenttial question of my life. I've got a heap of recordings (somewhere in the five figures), but travel 365 days a year WITHOUT ANY OF THEM. They are stored near an airport that I use as a hub. When I pass through town on an overnight - never longer - I'll snatch a few from storage and take them back to my hotel. But I seldom manage to listen to more than three or four before I have to return them before my flight out. I hope like heck there's no one else out there in my situation.

Tempting, tempting, tempting...

Enough that I quit buying years ago.

Amen. One of my favorite recordings. I should add, 'at least in its Time/Bainbridge incarnation.

All this money spent designing new nickels. Well, at least it's not on my dime.

Actually, a few interesting things... Lee Morgan - Live at the Lighthouse Freddie Redd - Redd's Blues (Conn) Kenny Burrell - Blue Lights Chick Corea - "IS Sessions" Freddie Hubbard - Night of the Cookers (RVG) didn't this just come out?

I never seem to tire of this band, though I suppose some might find their music to be 'tiring' (repetitive, hypnotic...). The 'Tour de France Soundtracks' are particularly compelling to me, for personal reasons. But I've been enjoying 'Trans-Europe Express' since it came out, many years ago. Any other fans out there? Am I the only person to put Kraftwerk on his/her 'Desert Island Disc' list? And what other band is quite like it? For whatever reason, Neu! has never done much for me, but I could probably benefit from more listening time.

I"ve heard and enjoyed parts of the Tenor Triangle recordings. Since I don't buy anymore, I'd be interested in hearing the impressions of people who've had the opportunity to get to know these better than I.

Having had the good fortune to travel to nearly every country on the planet (I exaggerate, probably 110 countries) - Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, rural China, Lao PDR, Sudan, Mali, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Burkina Faso, Niger, Ghana, Djibouti, Togo, Senegal, Paraguay, Tunisia, India, Guatemala, Haiti - you can bet I've been offered some tasty morsels. Alas, as a vegetarian/vegan, I was able to pass on all. Except durian. (Excuse me, it's lunchtime.)

"...could youse play it in 5/4 time?" Love it! Thanks.

Perhaps he's invisi-Bill. Conn500, are you have delusions again? Invisible friends?

Likewise. - Drew

Thoughts: This has been reissued more times than anything else in my collection. Without even trying, I would guess I've accumulated ten versions of most of the concert. It's fine stuff; something of a period piece, as this was one of several concerts/series of concerts that popped up to mimic or take advantage of the JATP phenomenon. But Dex and Wardell were a great pair. Special. You'll want to ensure you're getting the most complete transcriptions possible, as many were severely and crudely edited to excise various solos, for instance.
