the way i heard it was that Lewis & Schuller moved fast. The Lennox thing was a "showcase" for their "new discovery", so if the first Atlantic was already in the can, that would make sense. As sincere as the musical motivations were, there was also a marketing strategy in play. For example, I've got two published folios of Ornette compositions, and both are published by MJQ music. One has an introduction by Gunther Schuller (iirc). I think it was Percy Heath who brought Ornette to Lewis' attention, then Lewis to Schuller, Everybody to Atlantic to get some product, and then Lennox for a "coming out" party. It might be easy to either forget or simply not realize how much sway that Lewis and Schuller had with Atlantic in that time.

John Lewis, Gunther Schuller + Lennox School of Jazz. Time/Place.

I like him, but perhaps not a box set amount of like. Has anybody put out the Night Music performance of him and Sonny Rollins? That and Death Of A Ladies Man are all I would really want. Everything else...plentry respet, just not a lot of bonding, not a whole lot anyway, certainly not a box set's worth.

Music played is music made!

Arthur Prysock working the jaw:

I don't see the problem with moaning. It's everyone's own choice, one is free not to do it. No need to moan about it.

somebody should invent a word for that...is "Ellingtonia" a real word?

Orrin Keepnews weren't no Charles Stepney, that's for sure. But it's still an ok record.

Blue Barron, maybe?

Contact the UNT jazz department. The have the (supposedly) complete Kenton library. I thought I would call their bluff on that when I was in a band one year jazz tenor chair, and the director ask me what I would like as a feature. I told him, see if you can find a Bill Holman thing called "Zoot", which at the time had only been released on the hyper-obscure The Kenton Era. The guy looked at me like i was putting him on, but the next day, there it was in our books. They've got the Innovations book, they've got the Neophonic book, supposedly Kenton gave them everything, and kept giving all the way to the end. Even better, maybe, reach out to Terry Vosbein. He is THE go-to guy about the Kenton library, it's his passion. We were dorm mates at NT, and he showed up as a freshman knowing more about it than most of the faculty. This guy was a True Believer of the truest sort and he's only gotten Truer if his online research is any indication. Much respect for that.

The IRS? Don't get me wrong, I like getting refunds, the bigger the better. But that's money vs money, not money vs dry goods. But yes we have choices, and choices are good, and what's the next Louis Armstrong choice going to be, make my choice an easy one, please!

Options are good, but a Bill Barron set would be better. Now THERE'S a good option!

So...give them an interest-free loan with only a guaranteed "eventual" payback date? How about they send me a new release right away and give me three months to repay it, no interest? Preordering is supposed to be a way to guage viability and production runs, right? So what happens on the books if they do a preorder that everybody jumps on that then runs into a snag and all of the credit card holds time out and nobody reorders right away? What does that do to their books, their anticipated cash flow? They gotta love that PayPal preorder, they get the money upfront and can then apologize all they want if something off happens. So, thanks, I'll pay for it when you have it, and you can send it to me when I pay for it. Guess I'm old fashioned that way. How soon before they start taking crypto?

Yeah, I'll take one of those, thank you!

What do y'all do late at night that anything could provide a more....uninterrupted ambiance than Blue Hour? The single CD is even better than the LP in that regard!

I volunteered to play "Amazing Grace" at my mom's funeral. The leadup to doing it almost killed me (and almost literally....blood pressure and pulse just trunning wild). But the moment I began to play, it all went away, because it was from the heart, and that's something I can do. So just keep your heart open. It'll all be all good.

I don't know if I'd use the word "struggle", exactly, but some of it, yeah, I've had to give it time to...reveal itself. and I can honestly say that nothing has failed to at least partially do that, and that more than a few times it's done so fully. Steve Lacy is (not was) somebody who I trust, implicitly. If I can't get to it at least a little, it's not his fault. He's earned that in my estimation, for me. Even Irene Aebi, I have come around on her, and believe me, THAT took a while. But again - trust rewarded!

Pete Rose (1942-2018) was an American recorder player, composer, and critic. He was the foremost interpreter of contemporary classical music for recorder, and one of the few recorder players to play jazz on the instrument... Contemporary classical & "free jazz", not at all an incongruous pair. Especially if he was not looking to make a career out of it. Curious musicians interact in all kinds of ways. At least they used to. Not saying that this is definitely the guy, just that it would not be shocking if it was, especially if this was just a loft-type jam. That might even be why Perla recorded it to begin with, to have a document of this one guy doing this other thing.

This might be Pete Rose: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Rose_(musician Recorder is a bore instrument (acoustical term, not judgemental!), like clarinet. So if you can play one, the transfer to tenor (a cylindrical bore, as oppose to a conical bone) would require only a minimum of effort.
