Collier del Schick - Invasion Protocol #7

Very nice, what I have heard of it so far.

Ed Jones (when he can be heard)

Think of all the people who are already dead who will never hear them, they just heard the older versions. They died in vain. This is why we curse the gods.

I've heard some over the years say that Greer didn't REALLY swing, not like Jo Jones or Chick Webb or any of those guys, and I guess, sure, ok, whatever. Me, I call bullshit on that, because ultimately swing, even/especially in its more "abstract" forms, is about pocket. And jesuscrisco, Sonny Greer had pocket. My Exhibit A will be the almost universally disdained "Kitty" one of the supposedly "desperate" Ellington singles from the last days of the 40s band. It's so universally unloved that there's no YouTube video of it now (and the one that used to be there was buried deep in the bowels of that beast). Maybe it's still there? Anyway, it's Ray Nance all the way, and Ray Nance at his Floorshow BEST. And Sonny Greer is locking into it HARD. Especially when Johnny Hodges gets a solo on a bridge, with band punctuation. Oh my GOD, Sonny Greer is hitting a backbeat so deep in the pocket that it gives even the fattest asses room to move with glory, gaiety, and GROOVE. Sonny Greer didn't REALLY swing? Bullshit.

And where are they now>? The original performances.

That particular jingle had a few different iterations, different singers. It's some pretty wack changes, really. Plus, it was really omnipresent for a few years. "Feeling groovy, just had my Cheerios:, I bet that those of us of roughly a certain age had that one burned into our brain.

Where do we go for the Brandeis Festival music that was not added to this issue? That is what is added, right?

Sue Botcher - Let Me Lull You

Ed Viser - Love Grips Hard

What was Albert Brooks talking about?

You know their Cheerios commercial, right?

Ed Jones.

Yes. Cult film hit.

"Now Playing"

I enjoyed that Jaki Byard article.

He was also curious about other musics than what he played. He was also curious about physics and math. Equations.
