I find it sad that some of the local Denver players "resented" him. Sad, but not necessarily surprising...

Look bitch, you gonna disrespect me like this, I'm gonna have to come out of this motherfuckin' monitor and cut your motherfuckin' ass right here where you sit. Hey Denis, you're cool & all that. Stick around & have a beer, be right back witcha'.

Which means that he was hell on cows.

Thanks, Niko! :tup :tup

Well fuck me naked & call me a cab, Calloway!

Then you are rendering unto John what is John's. And that, sir, is as it should be.

Yeah man - Penguins got it goin' on:

I don't remember it, but I think i found it: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...3jfwxqwgldje~T0 And yes, we use to O-Link: http://www.amazon.com/Darn-Paul-Haines/dp/...5854&sr=8-3

Point well taken. I was just assuming that there had been at least some interaction, if only a gig or two, to elicit such a response, but you are correct, that is not necessarily so.

That's Diagonal Noise Reduction ® After all, we must render unto Caesar what is Caesar's.

The sound doesn't make his horn sound vertical, does it?

Well, yeah, of course that's the end result, but it is all predicated on their proclaimed interpretation of the 2nd amendment of the Constitution, and they have been quite adept at manipulating many of their members sincere constitutional concerns towards their own money/power/firearms industry lobbyist ends.

Or maybe they were using a drum machine live. Might have been MIDI-ed/sequenced/whatever & the live drummer was just there for...whatever. Doesn't mean that the band wasn't "live", which these days...once you eliminate the scenario of nobody doing anything but pantomiming, what does that really mean anyway? And technically, I don't think that too much of anything is "on tape" anymore...

Maybe she was one of the ones who made the beefy guys stiff...

There are those who would make the case that those are not contradictory positions, but are in fact complimentary. I'm not one of them, at least not absolutely, but...

Well, we now know that he worked w/Woody Shaw in California, and apparently quite well, at some point before 1975. I don't think I've read this Woody profile since 1975, long before I would have known who Terry Bozzio was. So imagine my near-total shock when I was reading this yesterday & saw Terry Bozzio listed as a drummer with whom Woody Shaw had enjoyed playing.

So this is what Freddie Hubbard sounds like to you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeZC6Tvpdxo...feature=related Or even this? C'mon man.... nobody's that deaf.

Having lived a life surrounded by Mariachi bands, real Mariachi bands, I assure you that whoever it was who said that, and no matter how sharp they might otherwise have been, on that point they were 100% a fucking idiot.

Do you mean those versions, or the tunes themselves? I can understand a lack of consensus about the tunes. But those performances sound pretty hard bop to me. If I'm wrong about that, please tell me why. MG No, I mean the tunes themselves. It's funny, on one side you got people who don't like the tunes because they're "sellouts" or some such, but then when they're used as serious blowing vehicles, you got other people (not you, MG) who get overwhelmed by what gets played on them, like it's "too much" or something. Which just goes to show that if you just go ahead on and do what you want to do, for whatever reasons you want to do it, before it's all over everybody will have told you to go fuck yourself. Which is why it's better to do unto others before they do unto you. And from that POV, I fully appreciate Freddie Hubbard.

Personally, I tend to find that Freddie's staunchest defenders are deaf to some pretty obvious flaws in a lot of his performances, and that his harshest critics are deaf to some brilliantly inspired (and hellaceously fiery) trumpet playing. A bad Freddie performance is pretty damn awful, and a great one is pretty damn exhilarating. And the ones in between are...like everybody else's in betweens.

Yeah, but if you can get a consensus that "Red Clay" & "First Light" are "hard bop" then you've done gone and found a world that's pleasantly different than the one in which I live.
