Oh geez man, I am SO sorry, I thought that somebody was upping an old thread... FULLEST love and congrats to all the family at the Alfredsonian Domestical Institute Of Groovematistiary Family Life.

The cat was from m-f'in Houston, a historically metropolitan port city with a large African-American population. How "rural" is that?

That "op-art" stuff is fun. When I was 12-13, I used to analyze how it was constructed and then draw my own with a compass, a ruler, and various colored drawing implements. It's really a lot easier than you think, just circles and straight lines of differing spacings & colorings.

Is it true that the expense/lack of return of/for this project pretty much put Bethlehem out of business?

Programming an album is not unlike programming a set. Some people aim to simply/objectively "present material", while others try to use the time to "tell a story",

And for those who rejected the Charles Lavere cut out of hand, I suggest going back & comparing it to any number of Horace Silver pieces.

Kenton, studio work, marriage to June Christy, just a "nice life" in general, or so it seems. Definitely a financially & career stable one.

Something I've long wondered about - is "Kamuca" a Hawaiian name?

Wow...if you went back 20 years, to 1950, and where all these guys were then, and think about all the very different things that happened to each them in the interim, this clip becomes more than a little surrealistic...

It always hurts when "local" guys of substance like this pass...it creates a void...

The conclusion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT_M2O5yx9w...feature=related More: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgtXXESiuus&NR=1 Yeah, I seem to remember Big Joe being in there as well. Masters at work, this is...when things reach this level, it's no longer about "music" as much as it is language. We ain't never again gonna see this particular language spoken at this level.

Looks like you grabbed it, Jim. Well done. Let us know what it's like idc, won't you? MG Pretty groovy, that's what it's like! Quite "typical" of it's time, electronic keyboards (and some baaaaaaad men playing them), no straight-4 swing (one thing in 5/4 though), some originals that fall right in line with his writing on AOTB, only with "contemporary" touches (quiet as it's kept, a lot of the "crossover" material of this time was pretty much like this - set the groove back 10 years or so, keep everything else the same, and nobody would know any difference...), covers of "Spain" & "Bright Moments", O'Donnell Levy, Hugh Walker (on one side), nothing at all out of place in a "popular inner city jazz club" of the late-70s, and best of all Marvin Cabell still sounds exactly like Marvin Cabell. A little more sure-fingered, but that tone & that timing & that inflectional quirkiness are still 1000% intact. Probably not worth what I paid for it (the BASTARDS got my #...), but then again, I've always really dug Marvin Cabell, just because, so for me, it was, barely. But it's a great $10-$15 record for anybody else, except for those who won't dig all the "contemporary" touches and/or Marvin Cabell in general.

Uh.....

He's been on the Berklee faculty since the mid-60s.

JUST KIDDING!

Uh, if you didn't spend do damn much on them CDs, maybe you could sheetrock them walls.

Hey, check this out: http://www.billbeuttler.com/newsletter395053.htm So, this clip is 1959, and this is most likely Andy McGhee playing that marvelous tenor. Tell you what, this Stereojack is a BAAAAAAAAAAAD man!

McGhee w/Hamp: Same guy?

Ah, now that's an interesting possibility!

Thanks, Chuck. I was hoping for another piece of Broad's jazz playing, but I guess not here... Think it might be Eddie Chamblee then?

I knew about the stay in Belgium, but not about any "Belgium footage"! No idea about the church thing, or about any of this clip, but if it is from Belgium, the "excile" years, that makes it very interesting....

Up, Again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk7L2fS2W7Y Some guy thinks it might be Mr. John Board, but then again, he thinks the trombonist might be Jimmy Cleveland... Tell you what, though, whoever it is gets to the role-playing by opening up with some pretty personal takes on the game. I'm intrigued... If this is John Board, this = the Tina Brooks sighting on the Ray Charles video, imho. If not, hey, still some damn fine tenor (role) playing.

Well dammit... I have a copy of Jazz Spotlite News... But after searching the rather lengthy masthead, there was no name resembling that one to be found.
