wow, can anyone copy/paste or recount this whole thing? facinating...... from jazzwax.com--- CADENCE: You were In the Basie band for such recordings as Basie Meets Bond, Basie in the Beatles Bag. What was that all about? LOCKJAW DAVIS: Money. It's always money. CAD: Somebody telling him what to do? LD: That's right. CAD: Roulette Records? LD: No. That joker Willard Alexander [the renowned big-band booker]. Basie was in tax trouble. CAD: Because of gambling? LD: No. Road managers, people like that. CAD: Which road manager? LD: They had 2 or 3 of them. Each one took a little more, to the point where the accountant got in trouble. Instead of sending the money, he was beating it. In fact, 2 or 3 years ago, they gave him some time. CAD: The accountant? LD: Yeah. The (Basie's) wife found out who was really beatin' him all those years. All they got was tax trouble. I know way back then when I was in the office as an agent, the Internal Revenue sent all the agents a list of different audits. If you had any of the audits below, [the list said,] notify us first. So they could garnish the income. And Basie's name was on [the list]. In order to get him out of this bind, he took a lot of funny, funny jobs, funny recording dates. We did a tour with Tom Jones. It had nothin' to do with jazz, nothin'. But the kind of money they gave Basie, it made it worth it for Basie. But not looking ahead at his future, Basie in jazz. Now they couldn't do that with Duke Ellington. CAD: Because he controlled his own thing? LD: But with Basie they could. That's what caused [those albums].

Baby Face Willette
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez replied to slide_advantage_redoux's topic in Artists & Recordings
look ill tell you a little more, this man said he befriended Face in the late 60s, he said by 1970 or so face was real sick, he didnt know what he had but Face was definetly not well. he then reiterated again how live, it was an aboustely nother dimension. NOTHING I MEAN NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER HEARD OR THOUGHT YOU HEARD ON RECORD, matches, what happened at a Baby Face concert. he kept driving this home. -

oh, regarding the unissed cadet (argo?) tape, if it was stolen we'd prob have a better shot at uncovering it than if it remained in the vaults. these labels need FULL DISCLOSURE NOW. its 2012. info on the whereabouts of this tape is not going to affect sales of L.M.F.A.O mp3s. i promise. -

look, ill tell you this. a yea or two ago i had some email contact w/ an individual from chicago. he knew Face personally, and he kept reiterating a point over and over in all his emails. i will now share it: he said that there is absolutely -NO- recorded example, of just how intense, the Babyface live experience was. knew and saw him around around 67-68. he said Face live, was something to behold, aboustely trancendent -
Charlie Parker Records 30CD set
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez replied to romualdo's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
why is the art pepper/marty paich on tampa included- was that released by charlie parker records at some point. just where do they get their source material from anyway for something like this. i know its a simple transfer, but im all for all this stuff being convienently available like this. like the other week i saw some small 4 cd box set: red garland on prestige. it was like 12 albums of material. they would make great gifts -
78 rpm acetate discs cut by transition....what would they have, like 3 min samples of future 12'' releases? can you reproduce that here for usand scan that if there was a watkins at large one, this would be a significant discovery to add to the list of known hank mobley 78 rpms, of which i own none
