Wow. The re-booted Blue Note years. In all their glory

Payton's a rebel with a cause.

Just fast forward to 18.00 minutes or so for the lovely lilting lines towards the end or try this trio performance instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP-mRLLIM-Q

Illusions is awesome. The sun went down on this thread too fast.

His group work in Mostly Other People Do The Killing tells another story FWIW. Words can do that.

Has this been done before?

Sounds a bit like a rebel without a cause.

Another great reminiscence from George Benson. I love the youtube comment posted below, "Joe, please, SHH. An icon is trying to tell you stories". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCeIn473W7w

Let's all burn our George Adams records.

Well if it was way back in the past and he was acculturized White, it's probably a moot point. Did he grow up poor? Then again, I always took the 'Jimi Hendrix was Native American' stuff with a grain of salt, until I read his people actually maintained connections to their NA family, and JImi spent a small amount of time with them on a reservation. So you never know, until you get more of the big picture. Wasn't a very 'Bluesy' guitarist was Johnny Smith, was he

Yes, I regaled myself in Dick Cavett show dvds for weeks on end a few years ago. Just so much more satisfying to see them complete, with juxtaposition between 'all' the guests, rather than spotlighting only those remembered today.

Great LP but I'd actually file it among the then-burgeoning New Haven creative music scene. Maybe so, but was Michael Gregory not on the Wildflowers comp, perhaps there was some cross-polinisation going on? In the spirit of the OP's enquiry maybe you could elaborate? Well, New Haven and NYC aren't too far from one another... a number of New Haven cats played at the New York Musicians' Festival, so sure there was regional cross-pollination. And Gregory is an especially interesting character because he got into the Black Rock thing in the '80s with a group called Signal, which played in NY (and elsewhere). But Clarity is a very New Haven LP, even if it's not CMIF-related. (CMIF = New Haven musicians collective, Creative Musicians' Improvisers Forum) That's interesting. How does the approach differ between New Haven music, and music one might have encountered in a NYC loft. I have a few Michael Gregory/Oliver Lake albums, and also a very lovely - almost folk/jazz Lp, with a lot of singing. A very interesting musician indeed. Who I believe has started playing publically again recently. He was a bit of a mystery man from this far away actually. And a very talented guitarist/improvisor.

Ok you've made your point. Fair enough.

you've actually got a Grace Jones album? Really. I find that hard to believe. Is this a side of MG we don't know about? If I were a jazz fan... But what I like is commercial black music, some of which is a bit like jazz. And I have 2 of her albums. This is the other one; very interesting. MG Actually of course I should have guessed that MG. And yes these are very savvy records no doubt. May I enquire if you have Michael Jackson's Off The Wall or Diana Ross's 'I'm Coming Out' Any Chic era sounds of Nile Rodgers and Bernard Evans - kinda happened at the same time as 'scary Grace' No - never really dug any of the Motown superstars. Nor Nile Rogers. I just have a couple of Stevie Wonders, 'What's going on' and a few Jr Walkers. MG I knew that would be a bridge too far MG

I am not claiming 'a false sufferer'. Just putting things into a bit of perspective and questioning the way this 'syndrome' is being 'presented' to the public perhaps. Yes it is a serious thing...is there something humorous about it as well...yes there is. You are such a bore.

Perhaps so. That maybe right. But you're still being a bit precious compared to the overall tenor of the Chinese or French accent in an Aussie person. FFS. But this 'syndrome' is either an Acquired Brain Injury or it's not. ABI is not simply a 'syndrome'. Perhaps a visit to or moment with some people who experience actual ABI challenges, might relieve some of these syndrome sufferers of their anxiety and depression. Anxiety and Depression themselves are massively subjective areas when you get into the root causes being 'environmental' or neurological. Very different to Psychosis and Bi-polar.

Yeh, I mightn't be able to identify HP on a blindfold test unless I could deduce from the sidemen or timeframe or whatever. But I reckon I could identify his sound as that of a great player. You just can't fake the funk. Generic players of a different generation rarely have the big sound projection of the older guys.
