the "did not treat him well"-part was new to me... in the childhood autobiography of fruscella's sixties girlfriend's son it is mentioned that fruscella was still regularly making calls to king (from his girlfriend's appartment) which the latter never answered (or the like) at that time (1965?)

since the thing is called "The Media Mook: Satirical News for the On-the-Go Cynic" i'm not surprised you can't find anything on this person...

that one i remember, too (something like morgana king remembering that after dennis' death sinatra called to ask if she needed help...)

first thought when i ordered the amy select was, i'll have to postpone ordering from nessa then...

besides the ortega, the first 11 of these are available online: http://www.oac.cdlib.org/search?style=oac4...al;group=Items; and here are another four http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=isoardi

bunch of info from here... http://content.cdlib.org/view?docId=hb8779...=&brand=oac and also

order placed for the amy (already have the patton and jones, needless to say they're great...)

whatever this means... you can still see it here at the moment http://209.85.135.132/search?q=cache:nFCQS...=clnk&gl=de google says it collected this data 23 hours ago...

judging from the link chas posted ( http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~campber/ping.html ) my educated guess would be: no

put differently, it would have been a sign of respect towards the old age, not to do this type of interview with him anymore... it's great that he can still play, but what he's saying is obviously not suitable for a larger audience anymore...

sorry i'm late... happy birthday!

cool! paul brewer's the guy from the dupree bolton uptown cd?

i found ray draper's list pretty impressive, notably given that he's one of those where you might think he hardly had a career at all (counting sideman of recordings where he was a sideman, concert announcements, everything...) Jackie McLean, Donald Byrd, John Coltrane, Max Roach, Don Cherry, Horace Tapscott, Archie Shepp, Brother Jack McDuff, Dr. John, Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Howard Johnson, Sun Ra (and cohorts), Lionel Hampton, Mal Waldron, Ben Dixon, Philly Joe Jones, George Coleman, John Duke, George Braith, Pete LaRoca, dizzy gillespie, buddy de franco, benny carter, gerry mulligan, sonny rollins, johnny dyani, okay temiz, jimmy garrison, dave burrell, walter davis jr, graham bond, joe beck, randy brecker, bu pleasant, dick griffin, mike mainieri, don sleet, vincent mcewan, sean levitt, olu dara, booker little, stu brotman, maria muldaur, kenneth terroade, big black, quincy jones, sonny criss, tommy flannagan, al mckibbon, conte candoli, teddy edwards, sabir mateen ____________________ just in case anybody owns this album by cathy chamberlain's rag and roll revue and could look up on which tunes draper plays (on only one, or tuba on all, baritone saxophone on only one... that might give another bunch of names like eddie bert, joe farrell and louis metcalf...) some info here: http://gumboyaya.rakurakuhp.net/i_344629.htm so in terms of "creative music" there is basically an early association with john coltrane (and an even earlier one with george braith...), two times with tapscott in the late sixties and in the late seventies, a time in europe around 1968 where he played with terroade, shepp and cherry, a mid seventies recording with shepp, and an early eighties association with sun ra (for about a year it said somewhere) - but of course tuba players are hard to substitute...

don't know if this excites anybody but me but about 200 lonehill albums can be streamed at lastfm http://www.lastfm.de/label/Lone+Hill+Jazz/albums

what did he say?! (or have you reported elsewhere..? ) what did he say?! (or have you reported elsewhere..? ) edit to add: i've seen these double posts several times now - went back in my browser, i didn't do it, must be some new bug...

i think i can take 50s wallington much better after accepting that he played hard bop by that time... isome tracks on the prestidigitator i would rather have guessed to be horace silver in a blind fold test (if it wasn't for that bass trumpet...)

just got an email from my bass player cancelling a rehearsal two days in advance... but then we carefully chose a bass player who is a bit older than the rest of us (like 32 i guess) plus we allowed him to get pedals for his keyboard so that he doesn't have to play bass anymore...

here's a listing with an email address for booking him... http://www.jazzmasters.nl/tek3.htm and here's a list of records with a final one in 2007 http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_van_Enkhuizen haven't heard his albums... so all i can say is that i always liked rein de graaff when he turned up on albums... and here is a discography which ends in the midnineties http://homepage3.nifty.com/mrmanri/JoeVanE...izen/index.html

me, too. had the at the bohemia and gave it away, don't really no why anymore, i do regret it but somehow i must have been thinking just another hard bop session and not one of the great ones...

funny i haven't been close to horses in years but dreamed about a horse kicking and biting me three nights ago haven't visited this thread in some time, amazing contributions!

just finished (in english had read it in german before) Susanna Clarke - Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell the state of "English magic" is funnily reminiscent of the state of jazz, it has, so to say, become a domain of bearded collectors ("theoretical magicians" who cannot do any magic and say they do not want to), discussions about the whether it would be desirable to perform magic again, endless discussions about at what point exactly things started to go downhill, whether the raven king deserves a central position in the history of magic... of the over 1000 pages, 400 could be missing imho (notably everything which is not situated in england or is too closely related to world history, napoleon and all) but still i like it a lot; is wynton marsalis one of the bearded collectors? (was shocked to find out that at work i'm counted as one of those with a beard, will have to shave more regularly)

The saxist I play with - a great guy and player and teacher - knows Mobley, but I don't think he has one of his records. Simply too much music out there, the curriculum focusses on other players, and his personal models are other players with an edgier sound. On tenor, he favors Brecker for his sound, like most of his generation. my teacher's favorites were doldinger and bob mintzer iirc... (for my saxophone teacher on the other hand, the basics of learning to play tenor were hank mobley and dexter gordon ... took me a few years to realize that he was quite remarkable (non-mainstream in a good way) in that respect)

will do what i can, of course..., there's a deutsche bank here, don't have an account there but could ask if they could cash it ... no french connection here though; if you think it could help pm me the details and i could go ask there...
