Ted Brown...discography?...Opinnions? Records?
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez replied to Shannon Dickey's topic in Artists
I think one of the greatest jazz ensembles of all time was the Warne/Ted Brown Quintet. Freewhellin', vanguard records, Jazz of Two Cities, Kapp record- you guys know those? two of the best jazz lps ever! I also have a few bootlegs of the band in a LA club in 1956, right around the same time as those lps dates. those are even better than the studio dates -
Many Dameron stories have entered into jazz folklore—an Oberlin pre-med doctor story; a Sir Thomas Beecham connection; I Love Lucy theme rumors; Dimitri Tiomkin and the Love Theme from the film Giant; a Mexican ballet; and more. As I researched my book, I naturally sought the truth. Interviews with people who knew Tadd going back to the 1930s (including someone who saw Tadd make his public debut playing Stardust with the Snake White band in 1936), research at the Oberlin alumni archives, talks with Beecham's road manager, and with Tadd's widow Mia, brought us most of the answers. You'll have to read the book. For now—the Mexican ballet story is untrue. ?!?!? i love what now?!?!?

try listeniung right at the very very begining of the head-- before the horns kick in. thats where i first noticed it. try listening to just that part over and over, and report back well i gotta listen it today and i like it a lot. a really unusual date for hank 1) tune wise, and 2) personel wise the 1st track is by ARIF MARDIN: it is a funky tune and way too short, could of been 8 min. Pisses me off though arif didnt arrange more stuff for hank to play, eg. on more atlantic lps-- what if hank took a solo on an aretha lp: cool beans! 2nd track: is OUT OF CONTROL. the e.p. (wurly?) is used for the bass and it sounds really cool. VERY UNUSAL SONG. probably one of the most unusal songs ive ever heard DOLLAR BRANDS piano solo next up, reminds me of keith emerson a whole lot, check out his piano solo on the live 1974 lp if you dont believe me NEXT UP THE HANK TUNE! HM ON FM. oh hell yeah. elvin let HANK write the hard bop cooker on the cd. it is a modal song if i rememeber from this afternoon but hank very very very very barely tries to copy trane in his solo, i think like ONE little tiny phrase was SLIGHTLY tranish but hank was doin his own thing far and away. when i was listening to it i was thinking how so many people have ripped tranes style off but NO ONE could ever play bebop like hank. he is the best by far i dont care what anyone says, i dont care NEXT UP ARE SOME THAD JONES TUNES. BY THIS POINT IN MY BIKE RIDE I ALREADY WAS AT TRADER JOES SO I DONT REALLY RECALL THESE TUNES CAUSE I WASNT JUST RIDING AND LISTENING AT THIS POINT I WAS IN THE STORE PICKING OUT FOOD AND JUICE LAST UP IS APPARENTLY SOME CRAZY "HEAD"-LESS TUNE ALL COLLECTIVE IMPORV OR SOMETHIN LIKE THAT, "WRITTEN" BY ELVIN-- HAVE TO GO BACK AND RE LISTEN I CANT REMEMBER IT FROM THIS AFTERNOON- BY THIS POINT IN THE CD I WAS STILL AT TRADER JOES BUT I JUST SAW A HOT CHICK AND SHE WAS A RAVING BEAUTY AND I COULD OF BEEN LISTENING TO EMERSON, LAKE AND MOBLEY AND IT WOULDN'T OF EVEN PHASED ME AT THAT POINT I WAS SO PRE-OCCUPIED....

why are there so many versions of this. its really not that good an album
-
DUH! of course max wanted conte. conte can play some nasty bebop. ive heard him do shit i totally thought was like, mid 40s small group dizzy but no it was really early 50s conte. conte was this short funny lookin little italian dude who epitomized west coast jazz trumpet, and how west coast bebop can be just as good as east coast bop. when i met him in 2002 he was still good and he smoked this huge ass cigar during break.

OK OK THIS **DOES QUALIFY** I.M>H>O as "west coast jazz", or at least "jazz west coast". Now i just learned of a cd the otehr day i saw: "harold land in NY" feat. k. dorham-- now i DONT consider that cd west coast jazz at all cause h.l. sold out and went to Nyc. or maybe i should look at it as him bring west coast jazz to nyc, i dont know or care my Q is about B.W here. is this a must have. was gonna get lp until i saw theres DOUBLE the tracks on the cd issue!!! well how do u pin it say, against that other 60s live date i have of his, yuou know, the 1962 one w/ the MJQ. i have no info for that other than its w/ mJQ in 62. i ACTUALLY think it MIIIGHT be rec. at the same spot
