You're thinking of George Russell, no? But George Lewis is a baaaaaaaad mf anyhows.

Thanks to all. What I'm hearing is that I should probably check him out, if for no other reason than that he was a real player. Works for me! So, what's a good one to have if I'm only going to have one (which I may or may not, but in case I do, I'd like it to be the "right one")?

Didn't care for Harrison at all until INDIAN BLUES on Candid. That was an album that had a little different flavor to it at many different levels. Still can't call him anything close to a "favorite" or anything, but that album seems to have been a turning point for him (or at least a documentation of same). He seems to keep growing, so hey, it's all good. As for Locke's endorsement pic, well, I can show you a King ad from the very early 1970s with images of Cannonball Adderley. James Moody, & Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Also Pharoah Sanders & Paul Gonsalves endorsing Otto Link mouthpieces. Sonny Rollins doing the same for Guy Hawkins mouthpieces (that one didn't last...), and on and on and on. As a player, Locke neither excites nor offends me too much one way or the other, but I'd not reach that conclusion just because he endorses a product that he actually uses. Endorsement deals usually carry a lot of practical perks in terms of free gear, supplies, repairs, etc., even clinician gigs (that pay REAL money!!!! ), so if you're a working musician, an honest endorsement deal ain't a bad thing. Hell, if you're using the damn stuff anyway, why not get it for free?

What's the deal?

Think I read his say somewhere that it's a Turkish name, thus the "unexpected" pronunciation.

Indeed!

I have it on good authority that a UNT guitar instructor, a devout Methenyite (in the worst way, if you know what I mean, and if you don't you're either very blessed or one of them yourself ), was at that gig and was so, uh....unprepared for the music that he spent a good portion of the evening in the men's room throwing up. I kid you not. We need more music that makes irrationally happy people throw up. I was there also and thought it was great. I think I remember your friend--was he the guy with his head in the toilet? I assumed at the time it was excessive New Year's revelry. He was most assuredly not my friend!

But never forget - the goal of learning this stuff is to eventually forget it.

Feel free.

Surely you've heard of (and perhaps even engaged in) "Plowing The Field"...

Is that in the worst way? Somehow I think not!

Wow.

Are they STILL shooting?

It's good, not great. Buncha local guys making a record w/a guest, ya' know? Pat Peterson's the highlight, imo. What a talent!

Here's Trane's illustrated guide: Be careful though, this is the kind of thing that killed him.

Also note that triangles inside the circle map the movement of roots in major 3rds, squares in minor 3rds.

Also note that the tritone sub for any note/root lies directly across from it. E.G. - F#/Gb for C, C#/Dd for G, etc.

Something to think about as time goes by...

Yeah, the organs weren't heavily used in jazz, at least not that I know of, but you'd see them all over the malls of America and such.

Yeah, but I ain't so big. I'm just tall, that's all.

ZahvE-nool, again, to the best of my knowledge.

Mel-AY to the best of my knowledge.

Wurlitzer made both organs and electric pianos. The Alice work that I know of is on organ. Joe Sample's early electric piano work would be an example of the other.
