  1. Lenny Carlton would be a more worthy target. He deserves it just for being Lenny Carlton and he should pay! There's a real Lenny Carlton?
  2. No. You're getting him mixed up with Larry Metheny Easy to do, because on his earlier sessions he was often credited as Larry Azarra.
  3. Lonnie Smith Think! Liberty, gatefold, no vangelder Jimmy Smith, Bucket NYUSA, vangelder George Adams, Danny Richmond, Hand To Hand, Black Saint, vinyl Sgt Pepper, The Beatles, Australian Orange label (1969), UK -1-1, UK wide spine, gatefold mono cover with stereo sticker Abbey Road, The Beatles, Australian Stereo, (early 70's pressing), UK -2-1
  4. Let's beat Carlton up instead! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei8q80YHQ6Q
  5. Slim Dusty's other hit. This one's about pubs and beer too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOML9zwoZn0
  6. Slim Jim Britt Eckland Harry Secombe
  7. That's a Black Afro. There's no way that's a White Afro. Secret life indeed.
  8. Maybe the Royals could downsize and divert the money to Community Services..
  9. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCyh8moQ-58 ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbwX2DhJrw4&feature=player_embedded
  10. Should have said KING and HEIR. Possibly thinking of the 'son' as in 'the son of England' It's all bollocks anyway, God Save The Queen and her fascist regime and all that................
  11. Bit of a hip hop/electronics connoisseur now are we Mooms. Good to see you keeping up with the Jones's
  12. Thought it was a Wade Marcus lecture.
  13. Art before science.
  14. It's more than an 'I don't like it' response. The interview with Perfect Sound Forever is also a little more expansive about Braxton and Taylor and others etc. Read that one yet mjzee? The PSF interviewer does confront him (Shipp). with the criticism that the David S Ware band were just playing 'Sixties music, which is the reflexive position I suppose.
  15. It's mostly always rewarding to read Iverson. But he can't get down into the insightful alleys the way Shipp does. Unless we're talking strictly mechanics. Especially with regard to the psychology of Black musicians from the more immediate past. Iverson just doesn't have the background to think about those things. He can respond to them sure, but he wont arrive at them on his own. Wish more things like this would pop up from time to time.
  16. Matthew Shipp, Ethan Iverson, Keith Jarrett and Joe Sample Who'd a thunk. You could pop KJ right into the seat here. And the big crowd would make him feel right at home. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3S04CCIp34
  17. Lester, I assume. Ha Ha. Well he's a bloody fantastic thinker about the music, both socio-culturally and formally. I wish there were ten of him posting here.
  18. He's a Bowie fan To paraphrase the interview, PSF So you like Bowie. Do you tell many people that? MS No I prefer to keep that to myself.
  19. Larry Young, too. MG I was thinking of Larry Young, but I read the liner notes to (maybe?) Of Love And Peace, and Young spoke about seeing himself from the get go as being a bridge between the two positions. Whereas I think Manet, was a fully fledged post-Courbet Realist, and was more reaching out to the Impressionist 'New Thing,' out of aesthetic interest and his own direction. So I thought John Patton was a better fit as it were, because he really did start out culturally and aesthetically from a more fixed position musically. In fact, I don't think there's been many great players who made such a slow and methodical transition from one position to another as Patton did over the decade. Apart from The godlike Coltrane. There must be more, but even Moncur, McLean etc. all started from the edgier side of things within a mainstream context. There would be others that played R&B or Chitlin Circuit Jazz that become aesthetically and Culturally radicalised, but they usually weren't recording with a fully fledged voice at the top of the heap like Patton was.
