A true master with quite the diverse filmography. Network is one of my favorites and his New York films capture New York of that era like no other

Well, we've always hears about this and now there is proof thanks to Wolfgang's Vault My link The untitled tune is Ugetsu. I'm going to venture a guess and say this is not going to be Cedar Walton's favorite version.......

Mystic Journey is great. Azar is also a guest on the new Cookers CD Cast the First Stone. It's nice to see that Herlin Riley is with McCoy. I always thought he was a great drummer from the time I first heard him with Ahmad Jamal when I was in college. Good to see he is in a situation that can utilize all his skills.

I'm sure they will be correct on the CD itself. I think the plan is to start a Keystone series, let's hope that works out.

The Freddie CD is totally legit. I did some work on it and there is some really nice stuff on this. Freddie's playing is really strong of course......

I'm going to go with Bob Brookmeyer..... He's playing a trombone mouthpiece so perhaps it's some sort of warped valve trombone

There are no listing for any Herbie Hancock concerts from 1966 on (through the end of 1974 at least) The only Tyrone Washington appearance I could find was with Horace Silver 6/18/67

E-Mail, EPK and yousendit or some version of that. E-Mail a yousendit link and then they can download your press kit and music with one click of the mouse. A nice introductory letter with some of your accolades to get them interested in clicking on the link might help. Not to state the obvious but soliciting gigs is not fun.

Thanks guys for all the kind birthday wishes for this year and last. I can't believe I missed this thread last year.

I did get in some copies of the French release before our show but we sold them out at the gig. Hopefully I will get more soon and be able to offer them to you guys well in advance of the release date. Hopefully we will be able to at some point. I guess we should try to make it out to Earshot next year. If you have any info that would help us, that would be greatly appreciated. I'm glad you like the Jazz Legacy disc but wait until you hear the next one..... The shows went really well I thought. Thanks to all of you who were able to make it..... We will be doing a lot of touring next year so hopefully we will come to a town near you soon.

I have a copy of this. I think I won it on ebay for less then $10 a few years ago. It might be rare but it doesn't seem like it has any real value so it's just a matter of one showing up somewhere. It looked nice on one of my shelves for a while and now it's buried somewhere......

Two actually..... This one, Warriors and one recorded for a French label Plus Loin that will released in Europe in November and in the US in March or April. If you are a fan of the all out intensity this group can create, then perhaps the Plus Loin date has a little more of that (it's called Cast the First Stone, a Billy Harper tune). I might be able to get copies of this one early and offer it to you guys at a discounted price if you want.

Hope some of you can make it out.... The Cookers Billy Harper- Tenor Sax Eddie Henderson- Trumpet David Weiss- Trumpet Azar Lawrence- Tenor Sax George Cables- Piano Michael Bowie- Bass Billy Hart- Drums CD Release Party for "Warriors" Friday and Saturday October 15 and 16 Shows at 8:30 and 10:30 pm http://www.iridiumjazzclub.com/

Caught Magma in New York the day after I think. They were killing and sold out the Highline Ballroom (decent medium sized hall).

I meant to go to this but somehow spaced doing other things..... Turns out to have been a huge mistake..... Don't know all the details but ran into one person who saw the concert and said Rollins again played trio with Christian McBride and Roy Haynes and then was joined by.......... Ornette Coleman They said it was killing. That's about as historic as you can get these days I think

Phil Woods weighs in..... http://www.philwoods...ead.php?t=43098 To whom it may concern, I was absolutely thrilled when I was named a 2007 NEA Jazz Master. Just to be considered with musicians like Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk and Dave Brubeck was beyond my wildest dreams as a young musician coming up through the ranks. But to quote an old standard "The Thrill Is Gone.” I can understand your reluctance to award the NEA Jazz Masters award posthumously; what I can't understand is your naming a whole family as Jazz Masters. It makes no sense musically and as good as the Marsalis family may be, in my mind they are not the equals of the aforementioned giants. I think you have set a ridiculous precedent. What I find most disturbing is the new Marsalis Family CD (the release date is Aug 24 - ads are already running in the jazz magazines) with the profits going to the “Ellis Marsalis Center for Music.” This smacks of exploiting the NEA to maximize profit. I’m sure it is a worthy cause but find it troublesome. I have been the recipient of NEA largesse when they underwrote our production of my Children’s Suite in New Orleans earlier this year but this was a one-time event that was largely ignored in The Big Easy. As a matter of fact I used a good portion of my $25,000 honorarium to record a CD and DVD as well as present the Suite at our annual Celebration of the Arts (COTA) Jazz Festival. So as a matter of protest I will not be attending any further NEA Jazz Master events. You have tarnished the value of what was once considered one of America’s greatest symbols of achievement in jazz. Phil Woods

I want the mouthpiece....

What do you guys think of the Francisco Rodriguez situation? Kicks his girlfriend father's ass in the locker room and gets suspended a mere two games for his actions. Turns out he injured his thumb in the assault and is now out for the season so now the Mets want to void his contract. The guy is probably an asshole but the hypocrisy of the Mets organization is a bit much to swallow.

For that matter, how many of the artists actually were paid commission on their sales. Didn't Blue Note, Prestige, etc., just pay double scale to the session leader with no commission? Blue Note does pay it's artists royalties once they are in the black. Some time ago (within the last 20 years or so), Blue Note wiped the slate clean for all it's artists from the original label so they all started from a zero balance from that point on (very good news for the fusion artists from the '70s). I can't say this for 100% certainty but my source for this information is pretty reliable (and in a position to know)

As far as I know, the artwork is in the public domain as well. Why wouldn't it be? Do those PD laws cover everything equally? Or do the recordings themselves and the art itself fall under different laws? This is a very good question.... I'll have to inquire. Most labels don't bother to chase these guys down because it is too much trouble and too expensive to sue these guys in European courts. One point that was made to me a while ago (though they still didn't pursue it) is that it is not 50 years from when it was recorded but when it was issued so alternate takes that were first issued when they came out on CD and then picked up by these bootleggers were clearly breaking copyright law with this. As I said before, they didn't even bother to try to prosecute this glaring infraction. When I recorded for Fresh Sound, I had the it might be legal but it's still wrong conversation many times.......

I love this record. It crackles with that New York energy. It has the vibe of walking into a club when the band is on and the room is alive. Dizzy's solo on the blues that opens the record is to me, I don't know, something like one of the top hundred trumpet solos ever.
