  1. trying to understand the new deezer version... can anyone in the US or in the UK play this http://www-v3.deezer.com/de/#music/result/all/earl%20anderza and/or this (track one seems to be broken, so track 2, 3,...) http://www-v3.deezer.com/de/#music/booker-...ner-city-205116 if you feel like trying out, thanks (two great albums of course)
  2. vaguely related to on the road plus i'm just reading it though it's not a book... look at this July 1965 village voice and say once more that jazz is still as alive as it was then... http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=i2wQA...azz+ray+bremser Half Note: Zoot Sims and Al Cohen with extra added attraction jimmy rushing Village Gate: Thelonious Monk and John Colrane (not together, i guess?) Slugs: Hank Mobley, then Pepper Adams/Thad Jones Harout's Restaurant: Jackie McLean All Star Quintet Village Vanguard: Mose Allison and Sheila Jordan, and on tuesday Sonny Rollins two pages later in the classifieds there is steve kuhn offering ear training...
  3. damn, iiirc (might be wrong) two hours ago she was on 32... now it's 36... we shouldn't take this lightly (how long is it running?) edit to add: running for 42 more days, at present she's 1000 votes behind...
  4. just wanted to post that; sometimes it's so easy to do something worthwile...
  5. i used to play in an orchestra that was somewhat specialized on this type of music, two pieces i remember were organ concerts by alexandre guilmant and joseph callaerts (doubt the latter one is on cd, think we were the first ones to play it in almost 100 years)... wasn't ready for them at the time (we even travelled to belgium to peform them at the original place - wasn't ready for belgium either) pretty sure i would love them now....
  6. ok, noone on this list who's overly well-known Sonny Carrington, 1, 1981, ts Kari "Sonny" Heinila, 27, 1985-2004, ts,sop,fl,reeds,saxes,cond,kaval,selje-fl,ney Sonny McBroom, 14, 1978-1998, woodwinds,saxes,ts Sonny Saldana, 3, 1941-1942, reeds Sonny Thorp, 3, 1936, cl,as. Sonny Fredericks, 4, 1937-1941, ts Sonny Gill, 2, 1942, sax,vcl but - sonny saldana might well be sonny salad under his original name... (and a spanish one i guess, not italian)
  7. cox, criss, red, rollins, simmons, stitt, salad, and? Fortune? ah... but there got to be more!

    These look really nice, and would (will) suit me fine. Thanks for bringing them up. Hi Paps, Shortly after this post a year ago, I found a Japanese King pressing of both the trio and quintet together on 1 LP. It sounds amazing. I'd stopped looking for the Riker's album, and I haven't been buying in a while, but I'll seek that one out again. -Jay I have the Riker's Island album on cd and although I haven't listened to it in a long time, I don't remember it being all that great, IMHO. It seemed a bit too sloppy or something, maybe it's time to refresh the ole memory. one thing one might find a bit annoying is that the size of the bands are varied from tune to tune; two different singers on one song each (earl coleman is fine but a bit special, the other guy i could never listen to for the whole tune), trio, quartet, sextet... i really like the compositions, also something about the trumpeter and the alto player, they seemed a bit like strangers, somewhat restricted, don't know, but in a good way... and philly joe jones, hope and john gilmore a great, too (actually in my last post i forgot my favorite elmo hope session which is the sextet part of homecoming (with blue mitchell, frank foster and jimmy heath iirc)
  10. interesting to see gene orloff in there, he had this real impressive career later on http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...g9fpxqlgld0e~T4 (and iirc some on some of these are lps i actually found the string sections real good like yusef lateef's detroit or with roland kirk...) CHARLIE PARKER with NEAL HEFTI'S ORCHESTRA Recording session, 'Carnegie Hall Recorders', NYC, Manday/Tuesday, December 1 & 2, 1947. CR: MERCURY RECORDS. Doug Mettome,Al Porcino,Ray Wetzel(tp); Bill Harris(tb); Bart Varsalona(b-tb); Vinnie Jacobs(frh); John LaPorta(cl); Charlie Parker,Sonny Salad,Murray Williams(as); Pete Mondello,Flip Phillips(ts); Manny Albam(bs); Gene Orloff(vln, concertmaster); Sam Caplan,Manny Fiddler, Sid Harris,Harry Katzman,Zelly Smirnoff(vln); Nat Nathanson,Fred Ruzilla(viola); Joe Benaventi(cello); Tony Aless(p); Curly Russell(b); Diego Iborra(perc); Shelly Manne(ds); Neal Hefti(arr,cond).
  11. didn't leave many traces..., sounds like a corruption, salvatore salato... http://books.google.com/books?id=evUDAAAAM...ad%22&hl=de http://books.google.com/books?id=kSIEAAAAM...ad%22&hl=de http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=11945

    Tony Fruscella

    found a new toy ( http://news.google.com/newspapers most stuff is subscription only but not all) and it got me this 1964 tony fruscella article (bob reisner, village voice) http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=6m8QA...=tony+fruscella also check out the concert ads in the lower left corner... those were the days
  14. Why don't you contact Barbara Washington Franklin - if she's still alive, that is? Upon discovering her book earlier today (and the Tyrone reference), that thought had crossed my mind. three weeks ago she still gave a talk on "becoming a woman of influence", so i guess chances are pretty good... http://bridgewaywomen.com/yahoo_site_admin...ts.81171401.pdf on the book's final pages there's a phone number, email address... and a little bit about her family background... (btw, tyrone washington being the anticipated answer to a question in class seems rather unlikely... ) her late husband http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/artic...-2004Aug26.html to collect this before it gets lost: barbara was tyrone's older sister, born in blakely georgia; at age six she already lived in newark; their mother was eunice vetta ross washington...
  15. welcome! since the khan offer is four years old i guess you should drop rooster_ties a pm to increase chances he becomes aware of your question...

I'd stopped looking for the Riker's album, and I haven't been buying in a while, but I'll seek that one out again. -Jay imho, hope got much "better" while he was in california... (much more lyrical, interesting, as if he had put so much tadd dameron in his music that he wasn't really a straight bud powell disciple anymore...) strongly recommend harold land's "the fox" and riker's island...
  17. just a guess with nothing much behind: tal farlow?
  18. On the Road should be read with the right sort of music in the background. Suggestions? back when i bought my first kerouac book (subterraneans) i actually bought a cd to listen to while reading; wanted to have some "hard bebop" (not hard bop) and i still think that's a good idea... with my limited knowledge i bought an art blakey compilation, still one of my first 15 cds or so, which was not exactly was i wanted but close enough (compact jazz art blakey, started with the session with gigi gryce/joe gordon which was most suitable...); today i would probably recommend some sonny stitt (together again with gene ammons, john houston...) or maybe "smack up" by art pepper.... an alternative would of course be something by "white beatniks" (guess one could discuss the appropriateness of that term for hours) tony fruscella, zoot sims with jerry lloyd, brew moore... agree with chuck... it's only 12 years ago for me and i still know quite a bit by heart (mostly subterraneans) but i wouldn't want to go there again (and i must admit, political correctness does concern me, concerned me even then but not that much; people in books doing drugs is fine with me but proud tales of sex tourism aren't) read one flew over the cuckoo's nest at about the same time and it didn't do anything for me btw

    Ha ha. Here's what I don't get. These so-called Andorran labels (and indeed others) issue material which is still in European copyright owned among others by EMI, Sony/BMG, Warner and Universal. This material is distributed throughout Europe and sold by respectable retailers. I'm not talking here about material out of European copyright, or about bootlegs or anything else. Is it really the case that these large companies can take no actions to defend their own copyrights? Can Universal do nothing about Lonehill's Illinois Jacquet and Johnny Hodges issues? Were Warner unable to act against Gambit's Paul Desmond issue? Do Sony/BMG have nothing to say about Lonehill's J.J. Johnson? Do none of these companies at least feel inclined to drop a line to amazon to ask them to quit stocking them? The boots and out-of-copyright issues are an unrelated matter. Here the question is in-copyright material where the owner is a large company which appears otherwise able to police its rights. The usual bluster aside, does anyone have any facts on this? guess these firms are simply lacking the knowledge to find out whether it's their material or not
  20. in my world (born 1981), jackson was always a celebrity in the first place... i definitely was aware of him from the age of ten on or so (his nose and stuff) but did not really hear his music until three or four years ago (to find that i had heard some of the songs before, of course)
  21. sam merrill's mason hoffenberg interview/article (from 1973 when hoffenberg was staying with richard manuel), first read this years ago because hoffenberg was a character in my then-favorite book (kerouac's subterraneans) but i guess it's more interesting to a dylan/the band fan after all... http://theband.hiof.no/articles/mason_hoff..._few_licks.html
  22. I just found the single disc reissues of "The Band" and "Cahoots" and played both... continuing to be very, very excited! Also picked up some Joni Mitchell and Ry Cooder. I've heard "Mingus" and some 90s stuff by Cooder (mostly the cuban albums, including the fun one with Manuel Galban). These will have to wait for my return from vacation in about two weeks, but I'm looking forward! where are you? somehow, i really didn't plan to discover him and i really wouldn't say they are brilliant and that's it... but i can't stop playing terry callier's first two cadet albums...
  23. One of those fancy pumpernickel and sunflower breads? it was called "urbrot" (ancient bread?), and seems to be a pretty ordinary bread with rye, tastes excellent though, bought much older bread at the full price elsewhere often enough, no idea why it was priced so high (actually never went to that store because it looked like an expensive place from the outside but they got this nice box with vegetables that still look half-decent, today i got broccoli for 1 euro a kilogramm and it's even organic...)
  24. now i share my birthday with duke ellington and was born the day cat anderson died - how does that make you feel... the sales person at the organic food shop was already complaining about having to listen to mj all day at work... but then i got a 4 euro bread for free so i'm not complaining...
  25. imho 99,9% percent is a pretty high figure and unlike her i enjoy listening to kitsch and/or noise from time to time - but then how many girlfriends agree that lucky thompson is much better than diana krall, norah jones, keith jarrett and albert ayler alll rolled into one (and yes ,that's not her only quality)
