I Remember Britt Angela

That's a good question, and I think I once read a looooooooong time ago that it's a photograph of some sculpture. But don't make any bets on that, ok? I'm in no way sure.

Both she & Melba Liston made that trip with Quincy. Talk about a rare scenario...

Yeah, never a "big name", but she was there in lots of places, lots of times. People like her...made a difference, if not necessarily individually, then definitely collectively. And she made the ill-fated 1960 European sojourn w/Quincy Jones' band. That must've been a trip...

I know this is gonna be "local", but in a good way, or in a "what kinda connections did somebody have to have to get this shit cut?" way?

Found this, Jazz Journal International (UK), March 1995:

So how big's the mometer?

wicks?

OOOOhhhhh....

Holiday? Educate me, please!

No props for Carla, Escalator, and/or "Mike"?

Let there be no doubt - Johnny Guitar Watson was a baaaaad motherfucker.

To show you how stupid I am, I at first misread the photo credit as "Gary Windogrand" and thought that I had discovered that Gary "Windo" was actually a stage name. Almost posted that, too. DOH!

Very nice! Now my curiosity is piqued.

No, it's the 3 day thing. Not usually like him to stay away that long unless there's a necessity to do so.

Dude - square that up and put a little tiny B&W photo of Hank with shades and cigarette somewhere near the middle and you got a lost Reid Miles classic!

Ah, my active collection begins in late4 1971. But I have read (and more than once) the mid-late-60s run, all of which I would love to add to my archives. Seems to me in retrospect that the era that I came into into was the "aftermath" of that era, when pretty much all the bombs had been exploded and now it was time to rebuild the city, and maybe make it bigger and brighter than ever. At the time, it just seemed like that was a normal thing to do, and it probably was, all things considered, but I've since come to realize how much of a WTF ARE WE GETTING INTO there must have been. Also, I just came across the issue announcing the resignation of Dan Morgenstern as editor. Perhaps not coincidentally, the nascent use of COLOR on damn near ALL the pages took off right after that, as did the use of "newer" fonts and layouts. Again, at the time it all seemed normal enough, but knowing now what I didn't know then... And also in retrospect, some of that shit is damn near impossible to read now. But that's the eyes of a 52 year old as opposed to those of a 16 year old... Tell you what - going back to "relive the good old days" sucks donkey dix. But going back and looking for clues that you might have previously missed about why we are where we are now is kinda...not bad.

Never heard of the guy, but then, I'm not an actively curious photography afficianado. Learn something every day, and ain't that cool! Anybody know if "Mike" wrote any more pieces like this for DB? I've looked at the issue god knows how many times and just now noticed his byline.

Note the photo by Gary Winogrand, who's apparently somebody of some note: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winogrand

Just wondering...

FWIW, the "critic" (Michael Bourne) was at the time somewhere in his 20s and was very much a fan of jazz-rock, funk-jazz, etc., as well as those musics without the "-jazz" appendage. No stuffy middle-aged "jazz purist" was he, at least not then.
