I would rather marry Charlie Barnett's great-grandaughter than listen to 1 quarter-note of Wynton's jazz philosophy blather. why dont he shut up and blow his horn be a little more like roy hargrove just and a little less Barbara Walters/ clifford brown had to die and wynton gets to be on TV? i hate life

C.A did you ever see an early Pointer Sisters concert- id like to immagine that if it was the 1974, and i had known billie and studied bessie in years gone by, i would find this to be a "breath of fresh air", are you on board with me on this at all?

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Betty Freeman, patron to such contemporary musical masters as John Cage, Philip Glass and Pierre Boulez, has died. She was 87. Freeman died Saturday of pancreatic cancer at her Beverly Hills home, daughter Shelley Butler said Wednesday. Over four decades, Freeman commissioned works from about 80 composers and underwrote performances and recordings. Her gifts ranged from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. "I've always been interested in the new, and don't understand why everybody isn't," Freeman told The New York Times in 1998. "I like contemporary painting, clothing, furniture, architecture. So of course I like contemporary music. Old music is fine. But I like complexity, challenge, ambiguity, abstraction." "I cannot think of many individuals whose actions would have had a more profound effect on our art form or culture in general," Esa-Pekka Salonen, music director for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, told the Los Angeles Times. John Adams' opera "Nixon in China" was dedicated to her. The music Freeman supported frequently ran to minimalism and dissonance. Based on her personal taste, she backed artists who might be too avant-garde to win art committee or government grants. "She had a passion for it," her daughter said. "She didn't care if anyone else liked it or not." In 1964, Freeman met eccentric American composer Harry Partch, who was living in his car. Partch invented a 43-tone musical scale and a variety of instruments to play his compositions. Freeman got him a house and a studio and supported him for a decade until his death in 1974. In the 1980s, she held musical salons that were famous for attracting modern composers. "Her greatest effect was as a kind of focal point for artistic activity," Adams told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday. "If Betty had a dinner, everyone came. You didn't say no, partly out of respect and love for her and partly because you knew it was going to be a really exciting evening." Freeman also was a photographer, whose images of composers and musicians were displayed at Carnegie Hall. Before turning to music, she collected art. She was the inspiration for a 1966 David Hockney painting "Beverly Hills Housewife." Born Betty Wishnick in Chicago on June 2, 1921, she grew up in Brooklyn and New Rochelle, N.Y. Her wealth was inherited from her father, a successful chemical engineer. She married Stanley Freeman and had four children before they divorced. She later married painter and sculptor Franco Assetto.

i cant believe I traded my Chris Connor 10" on Bethlehem for a Booker Ervin cd- UGH

do u guys think when pat martino re-learned the guitar, his brain re-learned it in some out of control super-fast high speed way which gave him his out of control speed and phrasing like when i saw him in 03 or 04 with his B3 group, or was he playing like that before?

i dont know if i accidently forgot about this, or never knew in the 1st place. i have a vague half-memory/recollection of one BN lp cover that was altered with diff. colours but ill be damned if this was the one i was think of back then. or maybe it never happened. or maybe it did. i dont really know. today i got hit on my head on the bus when i was getting up, some guy was swinging his backback on or something, i dunno- it really hurt for like two hours, and it wasnt even that hard a hit- wasnt like a fuckin baseball or nothin///so in answer to your question i have no idea what is going on with this, other than can someone tell us how cover art is "reissued" on liberty lps? like you know on steve hoffman there all talking about master tapes, etc...well is the master art work stored by blue note too back in the day (and then liberty, capitol, emi , etc) or whats goinbg on with the art work. the best jimmy album though by far and away is the date with Byrd, Mobley, and Lou. By far and away his most legitimate jazz release

u guys are all mixed up. all i have is a little 40 dollar mp3 player: it weighs and is the size of about two camel cigrarettes side by side, and it holds WAY more than enough at 4 gb than ill ever need on any chewy-related adventure/// and if i loose it, no big whoop- i load on what i wanna listen to it in the morning and change the mix every day or every two if i dont finish everything. the two things i listened to today were Dodo Marmorosa and Atomic Rooster. I dare you to find me another person that any of you know, who listened side by side, to Atomic Rooser and Dodo Marmorosa, lol

oh god! it does look like a pastry! its actually arabs!

thats interesting about gus

i will not rest till i know exactly what mark turner was doing, when this unfortunate industrial accident happened

hot patah: that is so cool you saw a fusion freddie concert. I have his album MISTRAL, and it is a defining lp of the genre: to hear seasonsoned beboppers freddie hubbard + art pepper in a pure-fusion-based-context, is very rewarding, and gives a sense of complete legitimicy to the style of the record

not always, once i replyed to a listing on free-craigslist for an absoutely ginormous larger than life full size modern designed square Yamaha church full stop console- so big you couldn't fit it in any flatbed truck- also he a seperate Leslie speaker- so it was only like 15 mi. away so i drove out there to check it out. I obviously couldn't do anything with the console--- i don t know what model it was, but it was obvisouly a very modern solid state type design but absouetly more massive than any old timey Theatre console ive ever seen. it was def. yamaha-- anyways i wanted to haggle just for the leslie. he said its all a package. since i drove all the way 15 miles out there to check it out, before i was thru, i said look, ill take the leslie now and check it out, then come back with a with a friends truck (as if it would fit) for the console.

my grandpa invented that, as far as the 20th century accepted methods go

studio forgot to renew the copyright years ago so it full into the public doman a while back- you can find it for .99 cents at drugstores as a chineese knockoff

today i met this black dude who i thought was not a day older then 46.......but actually he really is 81 years old! he is hella old. didn't look a day over 46. did freddie hubbard die at age seventy beacuse of "the '70s"? as far as partying too much, and it being the 70s, etc..
