  1. How is the sound on this? Stereo or mono? Well-balanced? Does any of the cover art or inserts feature stills from the film, or is it all pictures of Monk? Does the book talk about the film?
  2. He is on a lot of east coast space age bachelor pad albums.
  3. Dave Pell has the distinction of having the greatest album title ever in the history of LP records: The Liberty LP JAZZ VOICES IN VIDEO! When I first found this LP in a thrift store, I could not stop obsessively saying "Jazz Voices in Video" over and over again. Here is a track: In this capacity, he produced what must be the greatest exotica one-off LP ever, Robert Drasnin's Voodoo.
  4. New York New York There. It had to be useful for something.
  5. I will! say that again! I will say that again! I will! say that again! I will say that again!
  6. Yes, along with the slapback effect! Yes, along with the slapback effect!
  7. Steve Allen was so cool. Steve Allen was so cool. Steve Allen was so cool. Steve Allen was so cool. Steve Allen was so cool. Steve Allen was so cool. Steve Allen was so cool. Steve Allen was so cool.
  8. You start a thread, in a public forum, about the state of a company that manufacturers high-end horse-drawn carriages, and then you tell the participants that they are going off topic because they acknowledge the popularity of the automobile? It is irrelevant whether Mosaic is unable to offer downloads; but the fact that they don't offer downloads is nevertheless relevant. Virtually everything brought up in that thread - including an aging/dying audience, downloads, streaming, pricing, content, and presentation - have all contributed to the state that Mosaic is in. The fact that some of these factors are beyond Mosaic's control does not mean that all of their decisions have been good ones. Oh, and the person starting a conversation cannot control every turn that conversation takes. Someone who allegedly listens to jazz, of all things, should have picked up on that by now.
  9. The sopranino is reserved for those special occasions in which the artist seeks to attain a level of annoyance that is beyond the capabilities of even the dreaded soprano sax.
  10. I had wondered if it might be "Music for Piano with Slow Sweep Pure Wave Oscillators" but it is not. I will see what else I can find. Thanks for your interest!
  11. Heard this on the radio in the early 1990s. It runs about 20 or 30 minutes. Here is how it works: A synthesizer or oscillator of some sort is set on a slow, steady upward glissando from the lowest note you can hear to the highest note you can hear. The span from lowest to highest note slowly occurs over the entire duration of the piece. As soon as the glissando instrument hits the midway point between two pitches, another synthesizer anticipates the next pitch. So, when the glissando is in the cracks between C and C#, the other is hitting the C#. As the glissando approaches the target note, you hear the speed of the vibrations slow down. Eventually, they meet on C#. Then the glissando passes C#. When it gets to the midway point, the other keyboard hits a D. As the glissando approaches the D, you hear the speed of the vibrations slow down. Eventually, they meet on D. The glissando passes D... And so on… This continues until the pitches reach the fringe of our hearing range. I have looked for this piece for a long time. I hope someone knows what this is. It is an incredibly hypnotic experience Apologies if my description is vague.
  12. Does anyone know if they ever corrected the mastering problem with the Starker Mercury Living Presence CDs? For a while, the LPs were selling for insane amounts of money on eBay, because there was something wrong with the CDs.
  13. Thanks for enlightening me. I would not of known this.
  14. Oops, wrong forum, I was talking about inexpensive electrical conductors manufactured in Hungary and sold by third-party sellers on Amazon.
  15. For symphonic music, I go for Debussy and Ravel and later; and I tend to gravitate toward the conductors who were active in the early days of the LP era. I was recently surprised to learn that many of my favorite conductors from that era were Hungarian, including Eugene Ormandy, Antal Dorati, and Fritz Reiner, who I would have assumed were American, Italian, and German, respectively. I guess I should have known this, but my limited knowledge of classical music tends to center around the composers rather than the players or conductors. Not sure what any of this means. I will root for Hungary next time they are in a soccer match.
  16. This is a nice track. I have Andre Kostelanetz's version, but here it is by the Seattle Symphony:
  17. Hey Pete, Let's Eat More Meat.
  18. No one can answer my question? The liner notes of the CD indicate that there was an earlier orchestration of City of Glass that did not include strings. Was this version ever recorded? Is it on the Gunther Schuller CD?
  19. No, I have some Spike Jones stuff, but I never heard that! "A little shy/On account of that one bad eye." Hysterical.
  20. That Red Ingle track is amazing!
  21. Thanks all. (Both.) I am writing an arrangement, and based on the instrumentation, I think that D minor or Eb minor will be best. I have seen sheet music in both E minor and D minor.
  22. I hear you, but d minor is related to F major, hardly a strange key to jazz.
  23. Does anyone here have the second Playboy After Dark collection that includes Cal Tjader's performance on Playboy's Penthouse, circa 1959 0r 1960? I have the first volume with Cy Coleman, Lenny Bruce, Ella, etc. The second volume seemed to go out of print quickly. If I had known Cal Tjader was on it, I would have hopped on it immediately. Can anyone tell me which and how many songs he does, who was in the band, if he talks to Hef between songs?
