Names related to "sandu" Now, if "Dahoud" was Arabic for "David", who was this "David", and who had the name that inspired "Sandu"? Is THIS the "Dahoud in question? Probably not.

Sounds like Stanley's writing strikes the reviewer much the same way that so much "free jazz" allegedly strikes Stanley. Oh, the irony. The sweet, SWEET irony!

A few good Eager solos on cuts from the Sittin' In With label, last(?) domestically released on Mainstream...

I'LL SAY!!!! People need to try harder. Howzabout - The Legendary David "Fathead" Newman Presents GENIUS ON MY MIND - A TRIBUTE TO RAY CHARLES SONGS FROM THE MOTION PICTURE RAY PLAYED BY THE MAN WHO HELPED MAKE THEM FAMOUS!!! Now THAT'S better!!!

CurFu? Curfew? Curt Fu? This name stuff is dizzying my innards!

It sounded better than "BroCli"? I get the response, but not how it relates to the question... Help?

Brownie's right. If we don't kill you, we'll make you stronger.

You noticed this one too, eh? HELL yeah!

As evidence that they are indeed Bastards, I offer into evidence the following item: http://www.dustygroove.com/jazzlp2.htm#374118 George Freeman -- Franticdiagnosis (reissue) . . . LP . . . $8.99 Bam-Boo, 1972 Condition: New Copy View Cart A legendary bit of funk, from one of the most overlooked guitarists ever! George Freeman's got a sound and a style unlike any other player we can think of -- an approach to funky guitar that's often got a really hard touch on the strings, and which gets nice and noisy at the best funky moments. Freeman's probably best known for the few obscure records he cut with Groove Holmes, but this album's his out and out masterpiece -- a rare one-off session cut in the funky Philly scene and supervised by DJ Sonny Hopson -- and featuring a rare mix of players that includes Cesar Frazier on organ and Charles Earland on Arp! The mix of organ and Arp is really incredible -- especially on the side-long jammer "Franticdiagnosis", which runs for nearly 20 minutes, and is one of the most messed-up funky jazz jams of the 70s! Other players include Von Freeman on tenor sax and Dave Hubbard on alto flute -- and the album features the legendary jazz dance track "The Bump", plus the cuts "Free-Man" and "God Bless The Child". I mean, c'mon, $8.99 for something like this? SEALED? They know I've been on a George Freeman kick, right? They've gone YEARS w/o having this item. And now, just when they know I'd be in the market for this, there it is. BASTARDS!!!!!

Time for the old Stevie Ray Vaughn visual pun.

Oh, that's not me. That's Dixon Crumpler. He always looks like that.

Depends on wether you prefer to look or to listen .... verrrry sexy pic What's she saying?

Can we be sure that this wasn't Dan Ackroyd reprising that SNL character of his? Buzz whathisname? Was Lorraine Newman there, too?

The Chronological Classics series would be a good bet for that. The marvels are many.

As leader, yeah. But as sideman? Nooooooooooooooooooooo..... Plenty of fun left!

Or, "I've heard that Van Gelder's hearing is shot. Has he tried getting the dead wax out of his ear?"

Krebs? Do you REALLY think I'm that old? Well... Yeah, Ginsberg was different, but he still had vestigal drone. Still, the difference is palpable. If that's the rationale (and it seems like it might be), all I can say is that it doesn't woork for me. It does the opposite, actually. But I'm not "inside" poetry like I am music, so I'll freely admit tht maybe there's a point to it that I'm missing. But I know that you're a lot more in there with it than I am, maren, and if you don't get it either... (and yeah - "Miscellaneous Music" was the intended/desired forum for this. Poetry, especially this type of poetry, is so intrinsically musical in so many ways that I figured "why not?") The Patchen disc is recommended, btw, in spite of the drone. Dem' Bastahds, Dey got it: http://www.dustygroove.com/vocalscd.htm#354333

Ok, so I'm listening to this Kenneth Patchen in Canada disc last night, him reciting his own stuff in front of a Candian jazz group, and I hear it again - the sound of poets reading their own work with this kind on beatific, dramatic drone. Why do they do that? I mean, the stuff as written is full of nuance, rhythm, shading, all that good stuff, but it seems that so many times, when the poet reads their own work, they sink off into that drone thing. I don't get it. Patchen's not the only one I've heard do it, and it's not exclusive to the Beat poets either. And not all poets do it either. But I hear traces of it in damn near all of them. I get used to it after a while, but what's the deal with the drone, anyway? Patchen's actual words on this thing are a groove, but it wasn't until about halfway through the second listen that I realized that. All I could hear until then was the drone. Somebody help me out on this. What am I missing?
