Yeah, but Macs will dispense medication, cook dinner, and prepare a drink while they're doing it. That's just one reason why they're so much better for all of lifekind. A quick Google search of the text of the error message suggest that the most common cause of the error is the user's system's time/date settings being off, causing a disconnect between your machine and the site's certificate . Or, the site's security certificate may actually have expired (it happens!). There's lots of info on the web about this, including tips on how to set your browser settings to where you don't get the warning. But if you're going to a site having anything to do with money or private information, I'd urge erring on the side of caution. That, and using another browser.

Lorraine Gordon interview
JSngry replied to Hardbopjazz's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
Kind of a mini-Lorraine Gordon publicity thing the last month or so (remember that side of the wall thing, or whatever it was). Don't think these type things happen "spontaneously". Any idea what's up? Nothing wrong with it, not at all, just wondering if somebody needs money, or is laying the groundwork for something or what. -

Beverly Jenkins, the wife of Gordon Jenkins, the guy who wrote all those "weepy" string arrangements for Sinatra, Cole, etc. It's one of the more (although not the only) "curious" Impulse! releases. I've never heard it myself, but I feel safe in saying that it's not in any way a "blues" album in the sense that Hooker's is, or probably in the way that anybody's is.

They should do the label's two blues sides while they're at it:

This, plus the never-released Volume 2: Or maybe not. Yeah, maybe not.

Lot of...everything there in those two lives.

Yes indeed. It's the only album I have by him outside of his playing with Cal Tjader. A solid keyboard player and excellent arranger. I was unaware of this album until hearing about it here. Found a good copy on eBay, just got it today.Very nice indeed, one of those rare MOR records that you can easily ignore while it's playing, but full of delightful "WTF?" moments if you start listening. I laways get a kick out of stuff like that, it's like, well, you didn't have to do that, ya' know, not for this gig, but you did anyway, and you got by with it, so...god bless you for that. Also wondering how album-producer Albert Marx got it to Columbia. Did he have any other product released on the label during that time? Anyway, once again, the membership of the O-Board once again repeatedly points out the most reclusive gems there are to be out-pointed. Thanks!

Always hate to hear those stories about folks who slowly but surely lose themselves after coming off the road. Sal Nistico was another one... Would have liked to have heard Shearer & Al Grey in the same section...talk about personality!

Sorry to hear that he died so (relatively) young. Found some pretty interesting "tech talk" about the guy: http://tromboneforum.org/index.php?topic=8482.0;wap2 And this about how he fit into the Kenton trombone lineage (and Kai winding's integral role in its creation): http://bjbear71.com/Winding/kai-kenton.html

Listening today to a recently acquired, cleaner copy of the Kenton Redlands LP & it got me to thinking about all the times I saw the band in the 70s and how this guy was always there. I guess he was road manager? Anyway, the way he plays lead trombone on this album is f-ing Nutso Good. Hell, thinking back on it, the way he played lead trombone was always f-ing Nutso Good. The Kenton lead trombone sound was an already-established tradition, but this guy sounds like it was his life's calling, and I feel the love in every note he plays, solo or section. Real love of the sound and the message. The thing that he does at the end of "Artistry In Rhythm" on this album is everything I dig about Kenton without any of the stuff I don't love. No pretense, delusion, or neuroses, just a bigass sound played with a bigass heart. Big and real. I'm also reminded of a dance gig I caught the band at, where the last set was mostly soloists playing over held chords from the trombone section. Don't think there were any charts, there sure weren't any out on the stands, and some of the inner "voicings" were pretty...uh...."dissonant" but I noticed how shearer took it all in stride and would alter his top note to make the mischief fit the tune. Never forgot that bit of on-the-bandstand inventiveness, something that you don't usually hear on records (unless it's something like Ellington's All Star Road Band albums, which are pretty much the apex of that type of thing afaic). Anyways, I take it that Shearer came on the band when times were a little lean and stayed until the very end. Don't know if he's still alive, but if he is, hey, here's some recognition for one of those guys without whom you don't have bands, you just have assemblages. He took a Role, found a Voice, and made it A Very Good Thing.

Sounds like your mom has totally legitimate complaints and concerns & needs an advocate to navigate the legal machinations thereof. Here's hoping that you all can find one who is dedicated to uncovering the truth and all that justly comes with it and not one who is just going for the big score. Money at the cost of being "bought off" is better than no money at all, but... Good luck to you all.

Although not billed, Yusef Lateef appeared with Sonny Rollins, & Pharoah Sanders + Albert Ayler were with Trane. More Tenors, more Titans!
