Chewy here applied for a number of MUZAK related programming jobs and had a tour of the regional headquarters-- its not like the MUZAK was in the "day"...its just a bunch of cubicles of computers now. No longer are they concerned with workplace productivity, et al--- now its all like custom mix tapes [actually they are dvd-audio discs]-- they just make mixes for your store, eg. if the client is the gap, its like, who shops at the gap, chicks ages 15-45, so what are the top 20 songs that that bracket listens to, etc? no longer do the re-record music, but they just licence pre-exsisting songs and make mix cds. financially the company is on the way out too, it has been loosing money every year since 1991. i thought i could get in there for the final death-rattle and make some stupid mix cds but i was wrong. i think they were scared i was going to go against protocol and put on a white lab coast and record the heartbeats of secretaries whilst listening to the lastest Norman Luboff Choir release

tyronne with art blakey is sick/ and that youtube song is good!

i have asked this in four different cattegories and cant seem to find a decent answer, so once again, ON B-N MASTER TAPES, you know how they have released some alternate takes, well how many alts remain on master tapes usually, eg. if cornbread was takes 11-24, is there really THAT many cornbreads on tape? or would it be just the master version and maybe 1 other, etc..... as we know from the BN discog. there were many many takes of certain songs----but as far as recordings of these still on those tapes..... ****DO YOU THINK THERE COULD BE SOMEWHERE IN THERE, A TAPE OF TWENTY DIFF. TAKES OF ONE CLASSIC SONG"???? those of you with knowlege of bn history id like to hear what you think...... i want to hear JUST ONE BN SONG IN MY LIFETIME from start to finish, eg. like this cd i have with 47 different takes of "GOOD VIBRATIONS". it really helps you get to the heart of the song

Sun Ra Story #2 It must have been 1985 I was in San Francisco on a trip with these suits from this company I worked for down in Southern Cal. I was CEO of the shipping dept and we had some probs to iron out with another company. On top of everything else I was strung out at the time. We checked into the St Francis on Union Square and as I sat down to take my early evening shot I turn on the tv and the hotel has it's own channel and it shows footage of fucking President Reagan & Nancy checking in that very day! I'm sitting there with a syringe realizing the hallways will be crawing with Secret Service. Wonderful. Luckily, I was a junkie in a suit, and heroin isn't like booze where you get all sloppy. Not unless, of course, you get hoggish and do too much. You must practice moderation in all things, dude. So, I clean out my syringe and squirt Nancy's face a direct hit. Roll down my sleeve and make it on over to Oakland to catch Sun Ra and his Arkestra. ( I ditched the boss and his cronies.) So, Sun Ra does his usual great show. June sings angelic. Marshall Allen throws notes all over the place. John Gilmore digs in on tenor. You can see all the photos from the evening at my UCLA photo archive. And you can hear "The Sun Ra Story" ( # 1 ) on my cd O SHENANDOAH. Afterwards there's a couple guys from KPFA interviewing Sun Ra with a tape recorder. They sort of fizzle out, run out of things to ask. So, I sorta edged in and took over. I'd been talking with Sun Ra for years having first caught him in November of 1974 for a week at Keystone Korner in Frisco. And a half-dozen other times. So, we talk for what seems like two hours but must have only been an hour. He's doing his usual space baloney talk and quasi-Egypto riff and we're having a pleasant time and it occurs to me that Sun Ra has been reading Immanuel Velikovsky (remember WORLDS IN COLLISON from the 50s?)(that was like the It Book back in the 70s, in reprint) and when I tell him that, his mouth drops. I totally busted him. And for a minute there he's searching for his legs and then regains his stance and says, in amazement, "I woke up one morning and the book was mysteriously next to my bed." So, we talked about that for a little while, then he paused and lookt at me and said, "You know, I talk a lot of this space jive and all this, you know." One of the great admissions in jazz! And I never got a copy of the tape, because, well, I was a junkie and I flew back to Los Angeles and my own strange life. (I hear that KPFA is putting their interviews on-line. Maybe they've got that?)

i agree, if it was flora, airto, alphonso johnson, george coleman, and george duke replacing chick corea, i'd totally go

the weirdest ballet i ever saw. this guy obvously listened loved his fairlight and had heard kate bush "the dreaming'

LEGENDARY SUPERGROUP RETURN TO FOREVER WILL REUNITE IN SUMMER 2008 Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Al Di Meola and Lenny White - Planning Extensive North American and European Tour Return to Forever, one of the most influential groups of the 1970s, has long heard calls from their many fans for a reunion tour. Now those calls have been answered, with the classic lineup of keyboardist Chick Corea, bassist Stanley Clarke, guitarist Al Di Meola and drummer Lenny White planning a tour across the U.S. and Europe that will be their first performances together in more than 25 years. The foursome is expected to play 40 to 50 dates across the U.S. and Europe, featuring the classic music from their four chart-topping albums. "It's been a long time coming," says founder Chick Corea, "and I think it's going to be a blast! We plan to take the songs from the albums we made in the '70s and just play them like they've never been played before." "In retrospect, the '70s were a very powerful time in instrumental music," Stanley Clarke adds. "We're going to go out and play our music as honestly as we did then, and it will be a great thing for all of us." Return to Forever helped create and define fusion, a new genre that brought multitudes of rock 'n' roll fans into the jazz world for the first time. Their influence is evident today in many musical genres, from the hip-hop samplings of Dr. Dre and Lupe Fiasco to a litany of jam bands to techno and prog bands. A special Return to Forever anthology featuring remixed and remastered tracks from the classic albums Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy, Where Have I Known You Before, No Mystery and Romantic Warrior will be released to coincide with the tour. Al Di Meola says, "This is something we've talked about for close to 30 years... how's that? 30 years! We've come close a few times, but finally the timing was right." "We all felt the time was right to come back on a grand scale, raise the bar again and show people what serious music is really about," Lenny White concludes. __________________

K-Log has no place in that video

i am interested in what organsismo board members enjoy ballet, and which of you have seen works performed back in the day. i used to semi-like classical music, but ballet brought me all the way there. As i grew to like ballet more and more, it was interesting to note how my **dislike** of opera and symphony GREW, counterbalencing the other side of the equation.... my biggest problem in ballet is that i am so torn about the nutcracker. on one had, the kids like it, and they have fun and its all about the kids, right? but on the other hand it is like the #1 piece in ballet that could use a full on revision, into a proper ballet for ballet dancers and no crazy stage sets. I know it could work, because back around 1987 they did in nyc a new interpertation of CARMEN/ my first impression was shock as it was so different than what my mind was used to seeing, while listening to the Carmen music....so my first impressoion made me kind of uncomfortable.....but after the curtain went down i realized on how important this was.....WOULD YOU ONLY WANT TO LISTEN TO ONE VERSION OF A NIGHT IN TUNISIA THE REST OF YOUR LIFE??????? no of course not. you want to hear Tyronne Washington play it with art blakey in 1969 on the campus of NYU, ***AND*** u want to listen to bird play it at the bird and a basket club on central ave//// the AAA #1 greatest ballerina currently performing in the world is named Louise Nadeau. To make you guys understand, its like if the ballet was The Jazz Workshop in San Francisco, and louise was the Cal Tjader--Vince Guralidi Quintet, with special guest saxophonist this evening, Stan Getz. also original sin by john lewis is a jazz ballet
