jeez i jumped when i saw the chopped header on the board contents menu, i thought it was At age 67, Herbie is dead. thank god its just a post about his stupid music with words. In the jazz dialect, lets not start any jazz related sentances w/ numbers unless it is because of the worst. i get too frightened

Worst Mosaic Decision?
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez replied to tranemonk's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
whats so wrong w/ the chico>?? -
i am beside myself- i cant believe frank morgan is dead. well maybe i can belive it, but i am sadded and maddened. Frank = true west coast jazz pioneer. i saw him w/ art farmer in a quintet, keeping the bebop spirit alive. art died first but that is beautiful frank got a nother block of years in playing jazz before it was time for him to go. i also cant understand the 30 yrs in prison- is that truly accurate? also what are his earliest known recordings? beside the GNP frank morgan album. hey, i should go play that.....

Phil began composing music about thirty years ago during his first stay in Manhattan. “I wrote a song for Hank Mobley. Hank and I hung out, and he gave me the music to a number he had recorded with Charles Davis and Cedar Walton, “Early Morning Stroll.” So I wrote “Henry Earl Spirit” for him.”

OMG WE HAVE A CLASSICAL FORUM!!!!!
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez replied to Bright Moments's topic in Classical Discussion
yes i guess this is a good addition-- maybe w/ a separate header, it will premote increased dicussion. i will contribute this now, finally, here on the board: i dont know if i really told that many of u guys, one or two might know it, but did u guys know i worked for a ballet co. for a year and a half? Chewy **LOVES** ballet. i love ballet as much as I love Emminent JJ Johnson: volumes one **AND** two!! I have seen dozens and dozens of ballets in the front row center, directly in back of the conductors head. i have over 75 different lps, 78s, and ep versions of NUTCRACKER, and about half that number of swan lakes. I have gotten to meet the greatest 20th century west coast ballerinas, who off the stage are just regular people like you and me, but on the stage, are something much much much more. In fact chewy has dabbled in choreography of late, some of my works include: -A modern interperation of NUTCRACKER- a re-choregraphed nutcracker- nixing all the x-mas-ey costumed dancers, and non pointe-releated 'party scenes' replacing them with more serious pointe work in the Ballenchine style -Jethro Tull's A PASSION PLAY: taking the concept lp to the stage: a ballerina becomes pregnant and dies and travels through the seven rings of hell -RIVER OF AIDS: a think piece about change in social attitutes my grand masterwork is going to be a full length Phil Collins ballet, however so far I've just completed the ballad section, which will be "In Too Deep". I have hit a roadblock with "Apocylcpse in 9/8" which is an essential section (originally created by genesis in a dance studio) but im having trouble comming up with what i need for that one. -
