YEAH!

The two Cadence Jazz LPs are outstanding, not to be missed. http://www.sonnysimmons.org/donald.htm

Exactly! Pro move.

does he create a disturbance in your mind?

James Melton?!?!?! Arthur Tracy?!?!?!?!

Don't know about a recording, but I seem to recall reading (in an old Saturday Review?) that there was a joke about those two being the clarinet "faculty" at the Lenox School, people were asking, yeah, ok, now who's going to teach ABOVE the break? meaning who's going to teach the top half of the horn? Maybe that's a "musician's joke", but I find it pretty funny. Not accurate, just funny.

Yeah, they use somebody else's. Who's got their own these days?

It's a sign-off, so yeah, there's that. Like Bird and 52nd Street Theme. It means time to go, be back soon. But it's a pro move, for sure. Who today has a break tune/sign-off theme? Who plays enough gigs to need one?

Y'all need to check out Barbara Donald then.

Cecil! Please listen if you can. Why did you come to me so often when I was at the Cookery? Why did you consent to do a concert? You felt I was a sincere friend. In the battlefield, the enemy (Satan) does not want artists to create or be together as friends. Cecil, the spirituals were the most important factor of the concert (strength), to achieve success playing from the heart, inspiring new concepts for the second half. I wrote you concerning the first half. You will have a chance to listen to the original tapes and will agree that being angry you created monotony, corruption, and noise. Please forgive me for saying so. Why destroy your great talent clowning, etc.? Applause is false. I do not believe in compliments or glory, my inspiration comes from sincere love. I was not seeking glory for myself when I asked you to do the concert. I am hoping you will reimburse me for 30 tickets-would you like to see the receipts? I still love you, Mary Yeah, this sounds to me like a missionary who's still trying to save the natives from themselves after thinking that all they had to do was to show up and glow. I love Mary Lou, no mistake, but she went out there and stayed out there as far as the "spiritual" thing went. And she's had a cult every bit as much as Cecil had. So...she paid Cecil to play with her. And then she pissed him off by not respecting him as a collaborator and he played harder. Apparently she felt a draft because he did (although at first I guess she was happy, felt that she played her ass off, but then she heard voices). And THEN she blamed the devil. A fool and their money, etc.

hmmmm.....

I have it at home, let me get there.

And really, they cover jazz better than they needed to (considering their main readership) up until it got sold to Billboard, and even then, a little bit here and there.

I forget who put the concert together, but I don't blame either one of them for taking the gig. I'm sure the money was good enough. Certain "schools" will want to "blame" the "other person" for the mess, but hey - blame the promoters. It was their idea, it was their money. And really, if everybody got paid, nobody's business. They each continued on, no damage done to either.

I don't know what that means, but Musician had some great writings about jazz for the first 5-6 years of its existence. Their farewell to Hank Mobley was better than anything anybody else did, and that's just one example.

Yeah, I dig it a lot. They're airshots, obviously, with a lot of different players (especially pianists) along with a few of the same ones. Don't know how many songs there are on it, plenty of compositions. It's Boris Rose-sourced, iirc, so that's the sound quality. Plenty good for me, but people are less tolerant.

It should be noted that Cecil had a lot of respect for Mary Lou (as he did for all past maters), but she was, to put it mildly, suspicious of him (as she was of many people for many reasons). The concert/record was a mess, but how could have not been? It would be wrong, though, to assume that Cecil was being an asshole towards Mary Lou, he wasn't. Cecil was just playing the way he played, period, same as he always did and always would. Same with Mary Lou. If anybody's interested, check out Mary Lou's comments about her composition "A Fungus Amungus"...nobody has denied that this was not aimed at Cecil, nor her various comments about homosexuality destroying jazz (or whatever it was she said along those lines). Two great artists with strong individual POVs, best - and probably only - enjoyed on their own terms rather than in any attempted merge.

Maybe some day. If not, hey.

Remember, spotted dick is usually pudding.

So I'm out walking with this on the iPod and I'm getting increasingly annoyed by the whole thing, when all of a sudden I see a dead squirrel out there in the middle of the street. And that's when it hits me - this record reminds me of that dead squirrel, so yes, records ARE like life! I should've never doubted that.

Rollins, Dizzy, & Basie.

Also, note that the two-piano thread contained a link back to this thread, which preceded it. So we not only have redundancy, we have circular redundancy. Circle gets the square. Rectangles on the house, triangles in the kitchen, let's all eat fruit and multiply before we divide.
