Jazz Pronunciation Guide

Geez, I don't even know Charlie Fowlkes. Recommended recordings? Draw between Jeru and Serge.

Does Jeff Barr live in Texas? Denton?

Just in case anyone would like a new book of poems to read ...

Dig. But thanks even more to David. Listened to the Rivers/Davis broadcast this morning.

Hmmm ... if it's got Mitchell on it, I may have to take the plunge. Alan Silva ... not on bass? Sounds interesting at least.

Damn. Rest peacefully, Lucille.

Does anyone know who's on Burrell's After Love? If it's like Echo, I can probably pass, though I do like that record.

You lucky varmint!

Already is, ratchere.

Listening to the Carisi tracks for the first time right now. Bookmarked! Check this stuff out (y'all).

Thanks David! I skipped right over that thread — but shouldn't have! I'm listening to your broadcast right now. Great stuff, and I'll be listening to Night Lights more often ... A big for Night Lights Archives.

More info on Jazz Concerto Grosso here.

All I really know about Carisi is that he composed "Israel." Here's Yanow's bio: Johnny Carisi is destined to be chiefly remembered for composing "Israel," a complex blues that was recorded by Miles Davis' Birth Of The Cool nonet. Otherwise his career was primarily spent in obscurity. Carisi, who was mostly self-taught on trumpet, played early on with little-known groups although he had a stint in 1943 with Glenn Miller's Army Air Force Band. Starting in the mid-40's, Carisi's writing was sophisticated and advanced enough for him to contribute arrangements to the books of Ray McKinley, Charlie Barnet and Claude Thornhill. Never a major soloist, Carisi played trumpet with Claude Thornhill's Orchestra a bit during 1949-50. Although he worked fairly steadily as a writer, Johnny Carisi recorded only a few albums under his own name. He had an opportunity to remake "Israel" in 1956 for a Bluebird set not released until the CD era, and he utilized a "Guitar Choir" in an unusual reworking of the music from Showboat (playing trumpet on "Nobody Else But Me"). In 1961, Carisi shared an Impulse Lp (Into The Hot) with Cecil Taylor, and in 1968 he wrote the arrangements for trumpeter Marvin Stamm's Machinations album. Otherwise, Johnny Carisi wrote for the studios, was involved part-time with classical music, and was a music educator. Can anyone here add a little more? Is that Bluebird disc still around anywhere?

Get it. OK.

OK, after listening to Three Phasis yesterday, I'm ready for this one. Especially interested in hearing the duos.

Opinions/impressions of this one? Have never heard Doyle.
