Pablo records were quite often like that - am I going to let X get in the way of me getting this record to hear Y? New, they were always priced a buck higher, so the answer was very often "Yes". Used, hey. Seize the carpes.

Didn't know him personally, he was in his last year there during my first, and...worlds apart, ya' know. Certainly was aware of him though, you had to be! He was "the guy" for classical trumpet playing when I got there, and certainly one of the better jazz players as well. Heard him a lot in a lot of different contexts in that one year, definitely made an impression as to how "versatility" could be either a facile excuse for all-purpose mediocrity or a challenge to be excellent in different realms.

Tolliver as player, make your own mind up, but as composer, pretty damn influential over the long haul, I think. By the same token, is Stanley Cowell not a "jazz master", which I take to mean a different thing than a "jazz genius" or a "jazz innovator". What kind of a gig could you not call Stanley Cowell for and get an excellent performance of the highest integrity?

Brought this home along with that Billie Holiday live side on RIC, bought on one of the upper floors of a United Jewelers in Shreveport. Believe me when I tell you that the habit of looking for records literally anywhere was gained from an inordinate amount of successful, rewarding reinforcements of doing so. I have a lot of specific memories associated with a lot of my records, but most of us no doubt do,eh? It all sounds so silly now, but its a silliness I can understand, as I have both fully embraced it and rejected it, and continue to do both.

World/era, correct, that it was. But for me, the real "iconic" moments for those had already occurred. For that type of tenor playi9ng, it was Michael Brecker's longasss opening solo on the second side of the first Dreams album (think I heard that in 72 or 73, but jesuschrist was that man playing some kind of youngbloodjazzrock tenor there), and for that type of big band-ish concept, it was Spring of the same year, when Lab '75 was released, the one that was all Lyle Mays. Really an impact there, because Leon Breeden basically handed the full reigns of the band over to Mays for a semester (something it was said has never happened before or since), and since the policy at NT was (and still is) open rehearsals for all bands, it was possible to see/hear that music come togetehr over time. It was unique music by a unique person, and one could be forgiven for thinking for a little bit that it was always going to be like this, that these crazy geniuses were always going to pop up and create a body of idiosyncrtaic hip youngfolkbigband. Of course, it wasn't, but it was fun while it lasted. Anyway, I still dig "Silver 'N Brass", and that one Berg solo in particualr, all past memories aside. They're just groovy, ya' know? GROOVY!

Only have/know the Ciccolini (wasn't that a Chico Marx character, or Chico Marx himself? Did you ever hear them both play a piano in the same room at the same time?). but Mike's fully committed advocacy (a drummer will know certain things to be true that maybe not the rest of us immediately do) coupled with Joe's YouTube pointings got me off the schnide and onto the buying, that's for sure. Amazon Sellers have new copies for less than used, so hi Erik, welcome to Taxes.

If accurate, this review by James Harrod doesn't seem at all irrelevant. Quite the opposite, in fact! But - not quite accurate!

Yeah, I'm thinking second half of 75, somewhere. Having associative memories of this one trombone player going apeshit batshit crazy over Bob Berg's solo on "Kissin' Cousins" in autumnal afternoon heat in a just-moved-into rental house after getting out of the dorm.

People interested in the petition thing, here's a link from the "victory" email I received: https://www.change.org/p/george-coleman-for-national-endowment-for-the-arts-award-jazz-master-nea-jazz-master-award-for-george-coleman/u/53aae2c667bbe571f4003207?tk=lOEj0VwnI-8nfpg4BnxhrrBpNMlUacHGC6tGc9D5pqM&utm_source=petition_update&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=petition_update_email

Not sure, but it showed up in my email. I checked it out, saw it was legit, and that was that.

Ya' reckon that Bill Berry was the technical adviser on this film, the "well-known jazz trumpeter who played with the Maynard Ferguson, Duke Ellington and Woody Herman bands among many others."?
