But not about Pigmeat Markham!

Just kidding about Tomita...

Tomita

Tapscott indeed!

Bernard Herrmann

Kay Starr!

Gina Martin!

No shit!!! And you know, I'd seriously pay good money to read a lengthy post from Aric in response to him listening to a bunch of Nancarrow. And, you know what else?? - I think Aric could actually kinda half-way get into Nancarrow --- maybe with a little chemical encouragement, perhaps. I think Aric would have the same reaction straight OR stoned. If you're not high when you start listening...

You don't have to understand the question, you just have to understand Aric!!! No, the question is a simple one (well, as simple as things get with Aric when he posts loaded, or seemingly loaded) - what records might be out there that go into someplace different than the what "we" already "know". I know that Aric's hip to Ra & Tristano, so those two REALLY obvious choices aren't an option. He was talking post 50s, pre 70s jazz, but a "hard bop" record, which basically means "jazz". Well, ok, we've gone beyond those parameters, but so did the kind of musicinas he's looking for. OK, that's not a simple answer, but if I get the gist of the question, it's "what else is there that relates". Berg relates, Bartok DEFINITELY relates (Reiner's CONCERTO FOR ORCHESTRA, Dude, get it NOW), all this stuff relates.

You know what's cool? Those Columbia recordings Lotte Lenya did of all the Kurt Weil shit. I like to A-B those with Gil Evans' arrangements of the same tunes. Too bad Gil & Miles never did THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS.

Predictable would be George Crumb.

I have his "Big Nick" album on India Navigation. But I don't think it solves any mysteries. Indeed not! If anything, it creates one. Namely, "Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to let this cat SING?" :D But check him out w/Dizzy in Paris, or with Miles and Jaws at Birdland. Now THAT'S some shit!

Conlon Nancarrow, now THERE'S another realm!

Mal Waldron, POST-breakdown.

Mal Waldron, pre-breakdown.

Teo Macero on tenor. So near to Warne, yet so far...

Oh yeah, secret doors to another realm of post 50s pre 70s jazz. Ernie Henry, there's another one.

What was the question again?

Big Nick Nicholas!

That's Almost Good!

Or even Chipmunks B-Sides?

Hell, how about Bartok?

All right then, George Russell's 40s work...

Have you checked out George Russell's 50s work?

Well, I ordered it from da'Groove, and it's already sold out. The bastards!
