  1. Those two dogs are the same, but different.
  2. Amin Ali and Cornell Rochester had a purple patch on a series of Music Revelation Ensemble releases.
  3. Seconded I was unaware of jazz until I was 31 and I didn't grow up in a cave wow 31. It sounds like you're really into it now. Like a reformed smoker.
  4. Not Shuggie Otis, then? MG Interesting comparison to Shuggie. But Shuggie was on the genre busting side of things. Chris Cain is more straightforward in either a Blues or Fusion way. This is a very nice descending melody http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAfGz-hLgf4
  5. Chris cain is weird. A Greek African American Fusion guitarist who does BB King impersonations. Awesome player
  6. Actually I think I bought it to hear Yardbird Suite. You're not wrong in what you say. I definitely identify the conception of this music as Basie era. There is a lot of interesting Organ configurations that cross-polinate that Ellington/Basie era minded players with hard bop-boogaloo players. Perhaps that further makes George Freeman sound extra funny on some of these tracks. Freeman whom I love by the way. Indeed wasn't Jimmy Lewis from one of the Basie bands? Perhaps these tunes are better served in vibe and atmosphere on their original vinyl releases - or in a club back in the day Nothing wrong with the playing itself. How could there be
  7. Spotify just informed me people who listen to Shuggie Otis also listen to Donald Byrd
  8. This is a quite beautiful McCartney melody. Yearning. Melancholy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LcSIS_h1gE
  9. Ayn Rand Hitler Ron Hitler-Barassi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TISM
  10. Holy moly, I haven't checked the Feinberg site in nearly a year. There's a Kenny Burrell interview up. And Mundell Lowe too and Michael Cuscuna, and that's just March!

    Mal Waldron

    This link works. Another fine expose! http://dothemath.typepad.com/dtm/on-mal-waldron.html "I love the cover photo almost as much as the music. Waldron was extremely photogenic: His great look undoubtedly helped him sustain a viable career playing recondite music. Everyone interested in marketing uncompromising jazz should check out a vinyl edition of What it Is. It’s obviously badass avant-garde black music that you must buy immediately".

    So did Iverson mention this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCUJxsrl0x4&list=ALBTKoXRg38BBr86wGETZkjo8ngKfgh7UP

  15. I've got a compilation cd of Hank Crawford/Jimmy McGriff sessions. I listened to it in the car for a couple of days. Just couldn't warm to it much. Normally I would expect too. Even George Freeman was annoying me on that one. Sometimes Freeman can sound like he's swatting flies from his fretboard. Maybe I'll check out some of the other stuff. Can't imagine I wouldn't love The Starting Five and Dream Team.
  16. And where might Jimmy McGriff fit into the Wild Bill Davison - Jimmy Smith spectrum....MG Is he a particular favourite of yours perhaps? I recently found a copy of this one, purchased mainly because Melvin Sparks appears. Never acclimatised to McGriff much in the little I've listened.

  18. Bradley's, sometime around 1989-1992: I've finished a set with my trio, during which I had played "I'll Remember April" as a slow ballad. Dorothy calls me over to her table. After I sat down next to her, she puts her hand on my thigh and compliments me on the performance, all the time slowly moving her hand further up my thigh and squeezing. She says "I love the way you played I'll Remember April. You were strokin' it!" She was just checking to see if you had a schmeckle.
  19. I thought the same. I have a program that indicates what format the stream was. It was streamed as MP2, which is what satellite radio uses. Phryzzinian is one of Wynton's hybrid modes. No wrong notes.
  20. She would have taught you moishe's a thing or two.
  21. RIP JJ. He was super popular in Australia, amongst the bourbon drinking, bong smoking, laid back biker set, at a time when that kind of swampy Blues -Rock was almost mainstream out here. Must have sold a truckload of albums around these parts in the 70's -early Eighties. That kind of stuff now makes up the Baby Boomer Blues and Roots festivals around the country.
