Does Giulietta Masina count? If so, I nominate her for work in the title role of Fellini's NIGHTS OF CABIRIA.

Yes, the guitarist most renowned for his contributions to the music of the recently deceased Gil Melle. Apparently there is a recent interview with Mr. Cinderella available online somewhere, but I have been completely unable to locate it using the standard methods (Google etc.). Any help would be most appreciated.

From the Fantasy website...

Bill O'Reilly a boor? Color me surprised...

Sandy Koufax, Magic Johnson, or Jim Brown. Your pick.

Makaya Ntshoko = superb drummer, originally from South Africa. Best known for his association with Dollar Brand / Abdullah Ibrahim.

That is, when they are not powered by mothers. So, when is BN going to get around to reissuing CONTRASTS?

Actually was lucky enough to see the Takács Quartet essay number 4 in performance earlier this year. Pretty astounding, but I though they did an even better job with Beethoven's 15th String Quartet (In A Minor, Opus 132).

The Burton - Michael Marcus date may be more up your alley... http://www.justin-time.com/works/JUST1562/

AFAIK, THE COOL WORLD soundtrack is still available on CD. Worth picking up. Three OJCs that I think fit the mode of the original request... Gil Melle, GIL'S GUESTS (which include Art Farmer, Kenny Dorham, Julius Watkins, and Hal McKusick) Duane Tatro, JAZZ FOR MODERNS (includes the original "version" of "Maybe Next Year", one of the stand-out tracks from Art Pepper's SMACK-UP LP) Oliver Nelson, NOCTURNE

Check the date again on this one. That must be Brookmeyer's Bicentennial shirt.

Re: Zeppo... In GROUCHO, HARPO, CHICO, AND SOMETIMES ZEPPO : A HISTORY OF THE MARX BROTHERS AND A SATIRE ON THE REST OF THE WORLD -- still for my $$ the best book on Minnie's boys -- author Joe Adamson recounts that Zeppo could be relied upon to sub for Groucho on occasion during the looooong stage run of THE COCONUTS (I believe) and that audiences would be none the wiser.

I see they are selling a DVD of SWEET LOVE BITTER. Been waiting to see that film for a looooooooooooong time...

I voted for Walt. In my estimation, his music from the 60's captures the zeitgeist of that decade better than any of the other vibists' in this poll. In this respect, I consider Dickerson to be the "Trane of the vibes". If that does not sound too ridiculous.

Oh yeah... splurge on some Roger Miller while you're at it...

This is not pre-1960 (1962 to be exact), but it is a masterpiece of it's kind...

Not to justify FF's actions, but I think we have to relaize that serious cultural differences may be a factor in this sorry episode. Great pic of slugger Jeff Burroughs up above, BTW.

"1958: ANDY WARHOL'S MOTHER WINS A GRAPHIC DESIGN AWARD. Warhol's mother often did the lettering for his designs. Her lettering on the cover of a Louis Hardin album, The Story of Moondog, won an award from the American Institute of Graphic Arts as "Andy Warhol's mother". The writing had been rearranged graphically by Warhol for the cover. (AWM58)" (http://www.warholstars.org/chron/192862.html) This cover is reproduced in the booklet to the OJC CD MORE MOONDOG / THE STORY OF MOONDOG...

Sad to hear it. Interesting player and composer of harmoncally dense stuff, though I never could quite warm to the one release of his I have heard -- THE GIFT on Naxos Jazz. I would certainly welcome other recommendations.

On a related note... Has anyone seen the Wolf DVD? Opinions?

aka Rahn Burton. Has recently played organ with multi-reedman Michael Marcus, and has recorded at least one trio session under his own name for the DIW label...
