Just discovering, literally just, as in within the last 48 hours, Roomful Of Teeth. And within them & surrounding them, there are composers and performers who are piquing my curiosity. But this, this is kinda freaking me out:

Joe The Plumber Josephine The Plumber Madge The Manicurist

Yeah, I know. Still...for a long time he wouldn't even talk about it. Maybe we can get a Special Joint Release of The Day The Clown Cried & Tyrone Washington's Train Wreck to celebrate National We Are Fully Entitled Day.

I could be wrong, but I think the drumming credits are reversed? Sure sounds like Roy to me on "Frankenstein", that brittle breaking of it up, but I've not listened in a while.

Some of them (the TV appearances, forums, etc.) are quite fascinating, and you can do YouTube safaris to look at those, but as something to live through in real time...no. It seems like the guy started out quite aware of his talents, and then got really bitter as time went on. Bitter lunacy is not much fun, although with the whole Creepy Clown thing, maybe it's an idea that has a last found a market. But Jerry didn't wear the makeup, except, I think, in The Day The Clown Cried, and I really, really would like to get a look at that one. A little bit of unedited footage leaked out a few years ago, and it was hypnotic. Or maybe I was in the mood to be hypnotized, who knows?

Whatever other things there are going on, I can say that between Gene Puerling & Brian Wilson, Bobby McFerrin, and Aarvo Part, I was more....ready for this type of concert than I had imagined! Zap Mama too...all those people who have been dealing with voices as sound, as texture, as percussion, as anything beyond (but including) using a singer to deliver a lyric (which is just as likely to be sentimental cultural propaganda as it is anything, not that there's anything wrong with that).

Here's some things to hold you over until you get an answer. connect the dots, la la-la la, connect the dots

whoa...

Paul Lynde The Secret Square Secret Squirrel

IIRC, Roy Haynes was on some of it as well? On "Frankenstein"? That's the cut that really pulled me into Shepp World as far as straight-up tenor playing.

With a laminated cover? Those are beautiful!

If you have a low tolerance for "Caravan" as a blowing vehicle (and I do), skip ahead to 7:54. As for Kenny, I was talking a few days ago with somebody whose jazz tastes run very much parallel to mind, and we both same that Kenny Barron was a really hip motherfucker early on, then started making a lot of "hi-quality good records", at which point, oh well, but - goods still deliverable, definitely, and you never know when or where that will be. He's kind of like Hank Jones that way, great sample size means greater exposure, and greater exposure means that magic is not magic if it always happens, so, do the math, like that guy over there says. I like the thought process here Not at all a "mature" solo, but that comp tells no lies, and the solo sounds to me like a guy who knows he's got more deepening to do, and that such things don't happen by magic, so wtf? let's swing and keep going there as best we can, no doubt that the movement will happen. That ain't exactly Clueless Bob The Barefoot Clowndog, if you know what I mean. OTOH, did anybody ever play with Booker Ervin and not sound hip to the trip? That guy just exuded it to the point the it clung on to you. If Booker Ervin wore cologne or after-shave, I bet it was something like Hiptrip 247, all his people didn't need no English Weather or else nothing at all, they had Hiptrip 247, no, don't ask for it by name, that's the most surest way to not get any of it. You just let that shit get up on you and then leave it be until you die. Wash every palce and wash everything, just make sure the Hiptrip 247 gets let be. And ok, Jan Arnet, how 'bout THAT guy?

The loud parts of this were really loud, and not because of the mikes, but because of eight people who know how to do that. There's elements in this type of thing that get a little naive/touchy-feely for me, but...it's real, or sure seems to be. HA! Doesn't feel like wandering off as much as it does stepping back and seeing trails that have been there all along.

Check this out: Whatever other things there are going on, I can say that between Gene Puerling & Brian Wilson, Bobby McFerrin, and Aarvo Part, I was more....ready for this type of concert than I had imagined! Yes, there will be NPR-ishness, but I can live with that plentily easily enough.

Nah, it's from an online review, Scott Cantrell. A really invigorating gig, though. Me and singing is like me and dancing, I'm fundamentally defective at them, but in my heart...oh how I wish I wasn't.

"Capitol" seems to refer only to the building itself, not the city. A capital idea!
