two sonny simmons recommendations, here http://www.andyhamilton.org.uk/andy_pdfs/Sonny_Simmons.pdf is a fine article by andy hamilton, originally published in the wire, quite a bit of the information is already in cliffords great aaj interview, but other things were new to me (for instance that gavin bushell was a teacher of dolphy and simmons in the early sixties) plus i recently got simmons' "the traveller" on jazzaway records and enjoy it a lot, it's simmons plus strings, but the strings are more arranged like, say, in a bartok string quartet than on charlie parker with strings; this somehow allows to build up high levels of energy without the usual, more brutal ways of powerful playing ( ); the best "new" jazz album i got in years (not that i heard many...) have ordered one of the other jazzaway releases by simmons but it's not here yet... sound samples are here (most of them without simmons but you get an idea of the setting): http://www.jazzaway.musiconline.no/shop/di...um.asp?id=29650

never got around to checking out more than the one i'v read (missionary stew) but he is indead a pretty good alternative to chandler (or maybe ambler?)

got a bunch of nice fresh sound cds lately... Jr Monterose - Jaywalkin' (have mosly played the first session under bill bradleys leadership with monterose and phil sunkel - bought quite a bit of stuff in the hope it would be like tony fruscella's recordings - this session comes much closer than most) Toots Thielemans - The amazing sounds of toots thielemans (two albums from the 1950s with a similar concept, one third quartet, one third quartet plus trombone section, one third quartet plus sax section - the second album has the bigger names, sims, cohn, arranged by ralph burns, but both albums are full of great swinging music) Anthony Ortega - Earth Dance (this is his album "jazz for young moderns", one side with a great swinging band arranged by nat pierce, the other side more experimental with woodwinds (and no rhythm section except for a bass) and arranged by bob zieff, interesting but the first side grabbed me more... as a bonus there are two tunes with corny string arrangements which don't keep ortega from shining...) Cecil Payne with Duke Jordan (Payne's Savoy/Signal Album with quartet on one half and kenny dorham added on the other half; even better is the third session on the cd, jordan's half of the charlie parker records lp east and west of jazz, with johnny coles (haven't heard him better elsewhere) and payne...) Sonny Criss with Georges Arvanitas Trio (just what you would expect, nice one!)

French. (Born in Liege.) wondered the same thing about jacques pelzer this morning - "pelzer" doesn't sound french at all (?) Doesn't it? What about Claude Luter (say it "lut-air"), celebrated French trad band leader of my youth? i really don't know... ending stuff with "er" is of course very french but "lz" doesn't feel french too me (in german - so maybe also in dutch - "pelz" is fur, so a "pelzer" could be someone who makes coats (but it is not a common word though))

French. (Born in Liege.) wondered the same thing about jacques pelzer this morning - "pelzer" doesn't sound french at all (?), while jacques (and also his daughters name "micheline") sound clearly french...strange culture that is at the same time very segregated and very mixed (first step in antwerp was figure out that while people understood french better than english they stayed friendly only if we used english (second step was to speak english to each other in public - didn't fool many people i guess but did fool those who were seriously offended by hearing german around them))

way too much lately... a bunch of stuff from 2001 (ojc/concord, blue note rvgs and impulse cds for 4,99) including this morning a bunch of john coltrane albums (already had a good deal of the prestige and atlantic albums but just a love supreme and the single cd village vanguard on impulse...) crecent, live at birdland and coltrane... saturday on a rare trip to cologne's brick and mortar cd stores i got for another 40 euro (a good deal i guess but too large a sum) Dodo Marmarosa - Chicago Sessions (his Argo trio album backed by a great quartet album with bill hardman i had never heard about) Marc Ducret - Gris (Label Bleu) Shamek Farrah/Sonelius Smith - The world of children (strata east) Lee Konitz/Martial Solal - Star Eyes Hamburg 1983 Duke Jordan with Cecil Payne and Teddy Edwards (a twofer of Brooklyn Brother (Muse) minus one tune and "the inimitable teddy edwards" which is my favorite session so far on the six cds...) Cecil Payne/Duke Jordan with Kenny Dorham & Johnny Coles (Fresh Sound) and i haven't even started filling gaps in my blue note rvg collection...

Yes, you're right. Here's the original cover. Just make sure that you don't make a play for this one unless you live around Ghent. No shipping at all.....not even within Belgium. Why bother listing on eBay?....kinda undermines that whole global marketplace thaaang! http://cgi.ebay.com/KENNY-CLARKEs-sextet-p...93%3A1|294%3A50 luckily he accepts paypal...

apparently the tolliver is the one called compassion elsewhere- it is easily recommended! _______________________________ some info on the joe chambers here http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...52BSI%26otn%3D4 a trio with chambers on piano and drums, hidefumi toki on saxophone and nobuyoshi ino on bass... _______________________________ and this one looks good: Marion Brown - November Cotton Flower June 21-22, 1979 Sound Ideas Studios, New York City November Cotton Flower [10:28] (Marion Brown) La Placita [10:11] (Marion Brown) Fortunato [7:14] (Marion Brown) Pleasant Street [7:14] (Marion Brown) Sweet Earth Flying [9:00] (Marion Brown) Marion Brown (as) Hilton Ruiz (p) Earl May (b) Warren Smith (dr, perc) Karl Rausch (g) (tracks 1+5)

Well....ok, but.....the question was if somebody knows something about musical activities of Dexter in the period after "Round Midnight" until his death. I tried to answer h e r e as good as I could. don't think he meant your post... you sure didn't fail to impress me... go on!

funny, i never saw such a significant break in my life between childhood and later... (though lately i feel my childhood is really over); those three relationships certainly are central in my life (though the first one with susan i don't understand anymore and look back to the least) but i always felt to some extent i first became a certain person and then got involved in a relationship that fit... the version of myself i find most impressive is when i was 19-22 or so, somehow i feel i already knew most of the stuff i know now though mostly from books... by now i've lived through some of it as well which makes me feel a lot less wise and wasn't too appealing either... but after all a lot of what was important at 13 still is... say, most of the books that are important now i would have liked back then as well i am pretty certain... and the first sentence i ever spoke ("the hat i take, just in case, i think") still is very much who i am today;

was a bit disappointed that they (obviously on purpose) got together these relatively obscure guys and then didn't feature them more (lester robertson of course recorded a lot with tapscott later on... afaik nathaniel meeks has a chapter in that french "san quentin jazz band" book which i haven't tried to read so far, hoping for a translation..., brisenio is featured (more?) on this recent fresh sound release "chamber jazz sextet with kenneth patchen" which looks pretty interesting http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/record.php?record_id=5118 )

i like your question I like your liking of his question A question may be either a linguistic expression used to make a request for information, or else the request itself made by such an expression. This information is provided with an answer. Questions are normally put or asked using interrogative sentences. But they can also be put by imperative sentences, which normally express commands: "Tell me what 2 + 2 is"; conversely, some expressions, such as "Would you pass the butter?", have the grammatical form of questions but actually function as requests for action, not for answers. (A phrase such as this could, theoretically, also be viewed not merely as a request but as an observation of the other person's desire to comply with the request given.)

I think it was those sound clips that piqued my interest, it's not as wild and wooly as I expected. same here - don't think i'll start with a nine cd box but i definitely have to check out some braxton soon... Not start with a nine cd box set?????????????? What are you, some kind of coward???????????? :D wish fear was the only factor that kept me from spending those 150$

i like your question

also bought that one a few weeks ago, one of these rare instances where i went the local record store and found something i didn't expect which was pretty much what i was looking for at a great price... (found the music a bit uneven but there definitely are a number of excellent tunes on this double cd)

in that far away period of my live we played, besides all the things you are, for instance when sunny gets blue, mas que nada, georgia on my mind, nick drake's river man and lullaby of birdland (not particulary inspired choices (so maybe not what you're looking for) but we had a good time... just looked it up - our brilliant singer from those days is finally singing these things with "name people" locally, definitely a bit proud)

Yes, Keith and Ra were hardly unique in the 60s/70s in that sort of talk (I blame cheap paperbacks of Sanskrit texts and the like). They clearly believed that they were part of whatever master plan the creator had. Now where are those Alice Coltrane records.... don't know... imho ra is a hundred times better at placing words than this jarrett quote (leaving the messages aside)... also his album titles "nubians of plutonia" and the like aren't mereley sanskrit adaptions... maybe better than all jazz musicians of that time... (ornette coleman is pretty good as well, of course) besides, assuming i want to buy just one jarrett record (which is actually the case, you guys got me curious) from the ones popping up around here cheaply... which is a good place to start? fort yawuh, standards live, bye bye blackbird, facing you[, gnu high]...? or none of those... ?

good luck, shawn! asked my boss concerning what will be after september, he said we'll have to ask around whether some other department has money to spare

emerson string quartet plays debussy and ravel string quartets is my only debussy album and i like it a lot

funny, i actually had that lawrence cohn kahn cd in my hand ten minutes ago but then decided in favor of the john dennis ojc

Damn it, Late. I thought it was going to be another one of those St. Sanders videos. A tip to "Well You Needn't" in the "Chronology" solo, if I remember correctly--not an exact quote, but rhythmically similar. Of course Ornette's music isn't as threatening now as it was, but listening to the Brown/Roach Quintet a lot recently--which itself sounds like the fire breathing of its time--and then spinning This Is Our Music for the first time in ages, my mind was blown anew. The two things I initially noticed were (1) this is the most complete pianoless quartet music I've ever heard and (2) you can't get people to just play this stuff--it's very tonally astute. Charlie Haden had ears of gold. funny, listened to something else!!!! and then to the shape of jazz to come today (also for the first time in quite a while, think i'm still in my first 10 hours of listening to coleman...) and found the jump ahead (not only but certainly a good deal due to haden) astonishing... can't promise i would recognize something else!!! as "free jazz" when i heard it on the radio...
