just the record i am listening to at the moment (and all the time) but Prince Lasha / Sonny Simmons "The Cry" sounds like a success to me and and it is a collection of songs which are all very explicitly about someone or something (does that count as program music)... from the liner notes: "Green and Gold" was conceived as a musical blend of these colors, the first half of the work is gold and the second half, green. They represent the colors of the African landscape to Lasha, "based on the great names in the past, Bird, Chu Berry, Clifford Brown, Richie Powell, Charlie Christian - all the outstanding musicians who passed before we were even present." Simmons adds, "We're communicating with them as we play." "Red's Mood", "a free mood based on the blues", is named for a tenor sax virtuoso, Red Connor of Fort Worth, who died several years ago etc. (i love these liner notes)

watched the 1940-1942 issue of Ken Burns Jazz on television yesterday, where they claimed that American democracy was such a great and free climate that Black people and Jews (Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw they mentioned) could fully develope their creativity in it... creativity was not really the issue in other parts of the world either, i would say...

posts 38 and 39, but actually i've listened to it another time since and i definitely don't regret having it...

is the organ stuff like Johnny Griffin's Grab This with Bryant (which i really really like and recommend, it's a limited ojc so...)?

you can edit your first post and change the thread-title (also this is in the wrong forum anyway...) ah, (had just tried a quick edit, but to change the subject a full edit is necessary...) but i can't move it, can i? (guess you mean it belongs into the artists thread... i had just looked where the Hazlewood thread was and added it there...) edit: that spelling mistake also explains why i couldn't find the previous discussion of Turbinton I remembered http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...mp;hl=turbinton (thread about Reuben Wilson's Groovy Situation album)

don't know how to change the forums title, but, of course, his second name is spelled "Turbinton"... sorry, wherever you are...

chewy started a thread about this some time ago, back then someone said, the session would be on the Onzy Matthews Select, but it seems they have a session featuring Bolton and Earl Anderza instead...

as it took me some clicking to find out - maybe i should put this in another thread - the same type of interview exists for 10 other artists as well, such as Clora Bryant, Cecil McNeely, Jackie Kelso and Lee Young... guess this is the right place to mention Steven Isoardis fine books (of which i know only the collette biography and the dark tree) http://content.cdlib.org/search?keyword=is...p;style=oac-tei another tremendously interesting item on this site is the list of 216 unreleased Horace Tapscott recordings http://content.cdlib.org/view?docId=kt1870...t&brand=oac they have items like this one: [ Box 16 ] [ Item 3 ] Marty's on the Hill . 1960 Personnel: Horace Tapscott, piano; Jimmy Woods, alto saxophone; Arnold Palmer, drums; Al Hines, bass; Lawrence "Tricky" Lofton, trombone; Joe Gordon, trumpet; Juanita Cruz, vocalist. Compositions: Green Dolphin Street, Take me back where I belong (Max Roach & Abby Lincoln), Summertime, Moanin'.

no one has mentioned yet that on one of these sessions we have one of trumpeter Don Joseph's few appearances on record (btw the Don Joseph discography also mentions that "According to session log, Tony Scott participated only from 15:45-17:00." )

Happy Birthday (to the first person who ever responded to my posts iirc)

actually this is the third time I posted this but always in the wrong threads

if you are on a Ortega kick, this oral history might interest you:link (only have New Dance and Scattered Clouds and they are both great)

Here it is: http://www.jazzinchicago.org/educates/jour...un-ra-1956-1967 surprising to read, that these "pop" tracks (with Ronnie Boykins) on Eric Kloss first album also belong in here...

second that; we have it at work and (although I haven't used it that extensively) the Word and Excel Substitutes seem to work just fine (haven't tried the rest)

i want an edition of the Complete Works of Antonio Sant'Elia that i can afford

you mean like contemporary jazz is anything that can be seen as some sort of interpolation/mixture between "aggressive jazz-rock fusion" and "what is currently played on the Smooth Jazz radio format"?

it has a nice cover, too

Rusty Bryant - Returns

second that question! all i know is (part of?) his solo piano collection Makrokosmos which i really liked a lot in a concert some time ago (and definitely recommend...)

guess that's the educational system the want to change ours to... grrrrr

finally found one (admittedly real old) thread which firefox can't display (unless the board is in outline mode...) actually i cannot read posts 5 to 15 or so... don't have another browser he to try but iirc this type of problem did not exist before the update... http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=1037

wow, out of the many interesting things you see every day this list sure stands out! (for me, especially, Jordan, Wilson, Ali, Draper, Duke)

Maybe I'm misreading you Slide, but in case you didn't know -- the Onion doesn't print real articles. Some staff member had a ffun time writing this one! Guy i think i read a George Benson interview which went very much into the direction of this article (like "i know which type of record you would like to hear from me, i would like such a record much better myself, but, you know, it would only sell like 250000 copies [number was definitely far in the 100000s] and my grandchildren have these expensive hobbies..." maybe i am partly confusing it with a Jimmy Smith interview..)

iirc the 10 Euro copy i mentioned above was from Caiman...
