I'll go with disgusting on this one

This is The World Wide Webbernet, can't get no larger than that!!!

Claudine Longet Claude "Fiddler" Willaims Buster Crabbe

yep. I knew a couple of his students at NT, freshman year. They kinda went crazy when the Savoy reissue came out. Apparently he didn't go into a lot of specifics about his past, so they just assumed he was some old guy who probably played some gigs here and there. Imagine their surprise! They bought the record on the spot. Too bad the Black & Blue sides weren't visible....

Not just weird - CREEPILY weird!!!!! 🥒

John Hardee at Skyline in Dallas!

Good to know. Maybe it will get people to play the right opening note!

Johnny Griffin claims (and Shelley Carroll confirms) that Jaws corked up some of his keys so they didn't open, which in turn facilitated his self-created fingering system. I've tried to get a handle on exactly how this worked from videos, but so far haven't seen anything. And yet the story persists. The only player I've heard who has some kind of a handle on some of it is James Carter. All I know is that Threadgill's statement rings absolutely true and insightful.

You're an old guy who likes old music. As are many of us. I guarantee you that "today's jazz musicians" (going back 20 or maybe more years) are people who don't know about Billy Eckstine. They do know Coltrane, though, and they do know his version(s) of it. Here is a song they should be singing to him: Jack Pine - is your arrangement for vocal, or is it strictly instrumental.

That tune is now popular because of Coltrane. Everybody knows the melody, but how many people know the words? billy eckstine biography - Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc... - organissimo forums

If you hit it right, the Classical station will give you good music.

There have also been several calls for a Billy Eckstine Mosaic set, an idea with which I am totally onboard with. The guy is in danger of being erased. That should not happen.

Not political at all. Full support offered here. Glad to hear that all are well at this time. Thoughts and prayers\"prayers" for all involved.

Yay! For all of it!

I'd say Don Byas more than Hawk?

Ok, happy ending, let's move on.

Those MMO records were all standards. Some are still played, some not so much. Still, they're a great way to both learn tunes and to get exposed to same. for example: they all included lead sheet w/lyrics for C, Eb, and Bb instruments.

My work is blocking that website and I'm tired when I get home.

We usually discourage overt solicitation of this nature. This one slipped by me, my bad, but going forth, let's be a bit more discreet in that regard, ok? Thanks!
