Ornette is definitly quoting "If I Loved You" (it jumped out at me on first listening) and he could be familiar with the lyrics. I'm not, but then I can't remember the lyrics to anything-- and I was even in Carousel in a high school production nearly 50 years ago.

I'm amazed that this thread has such a large response. i was telling my wife abouat it and she reminded me that 2 years olds often get hysterical and go stiff! you canlift them over a shoulder like a board. Our daughter only did it once, fortunately. Jim and Alison, hang in there. They grow out of it. Before you know it she'll be a teenager. Arghhhhh!

If memory serves me right (unlikley) CHUM-fm became the first rock fm station in Toronto around 1967-68. (I think it was a classical station previously!) It was on everywhere I went that year so I have a pretty good memory of the records that were played a lot and I never hear any of them when I accidently tune into an oldies station: the first Richie Havens, Jimmy Hendrix and Country Joe Lps, the first Jefferson Airplane with Grace Slick and It's A Beautiful Morning (Was that really their name?) plus some local groups like The Paupers.

"Music from our youth!!" I was middle-aged by the time a lot of these artists made their mark. Meanwhile I'm obsessed with music from before I was born.

I'm starting to collect enough music (especially Jazz) DVDs to make me think that a discussion of them might deserve its own forum. Anyone agree?

I'll nominate "When You Got Trouble" which I think is only on Anothogy 2.

Am I correct in thinking that the Lee Wiley only contains one track (Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans) that's not found on the RCA reissue entitled "As Time Goes By"?

I have a vague memory (you may notice that many of my memories are vague) of buying "Songs for Rainy Day Lovers" because it got a 5 star review in Downbeat by (I think) Leonard Feather. Taught me to not trust reviewers.

Maybe it was your copy I found at Laurie's bookstore on 9th and Nicollet Mall. Or it may have been mine. I was once in an e-mail correspondence with a guy in Austria about a Hannibal Marvin Peterson Disography he was doing and he told me he'd just bought a Sonny Rollins Lp with my name written on it.

Ditto. Actually I think it was sold when I had John Norris auction off the Lps I'd left in Toronto.

I vaguely remember that one of the Billie Holiday Verve Lps was in stereo but they couldn't find the stereo tapes (or they'd been destroyed) for the box set release.

As I recall there were 2 bonus cuts on the George Russell RCA jazz Workshop cd that were in stereo but all of the cuts on the original Lp were in mono on the cd release. Presumably the stereo tapes of were destroyed in the making of the original (mono) Lp.

Don't know of any footage. I saw him with a jazz combo which he led with his feet. Not just exchanging fours (though he did do that) but really pushing them. At one point I was sure that he he was beating out Bird's "My Little Suede Shoes" but the rest of the band didn't pick up on it. He's returning to Santa Barbara this year but (unfortunately for me) dancing to classical music this time.

Ever see Savon Glover (sp?)? He dances to Bird and Coltrane.

Good Yom Tov to you too!

I'm confused: Which one used to be Aric, Clem or Chewy? And which one am I insulting?

I've found the "experts" in the press on stocks and technology to be about as knowledgeable as those writing about politics. Someone should do a similar column with all the press predictions made about the invasion of Iraq -- from both the left and the right.

Hey I just ordered it from CD Universe (going through Organissimo Forums of course) and they just list it as "usually ships in 1-2 days" without mentioning a release date. Maybe they already have it in stock!! Let's hope.

What's that quote from Freud about "the narcissism of small differences"?

Mine are headed to the local trading block, and I'm holding out for revisiting these sessions till the new set comes out. Wasn't there a scheduled Volume 3 in that series that never came out? I ended up getting most of the later sessions anyway through the Chronological Classics. Well make sure you copy those 2 Rex Stewart cuts that aren't on the Mosaic set. (Correctly so since I think they're from before Stewart joined EKE.)

No disagreements here. But were those early discographies on-line their creaters would still get the props they deserve as well as some help. If they needed financial help they would probably get that too, but without the cost of printing they probably wouldn't need that much. As it stands now even a lot of hard core EKE fans probably can't afford DESOR. (I think I paid a couple of hundred bucks for it.) Mu guess is that the next edition of DESOR will be on-line just as DEMS which used to be a subscription newsleter now is. So your last arguement is: why should people who get interested in stuff later than you did get something free that you've had to pay for? And I can't answer that.

Over on another thread Chuck Nessa gave me some discographical information then told me that it was available in most discographies and politely (he said "please") told me I should buy one. I have bought several discographies on individual artists over the years including the 2 volume Duke Ellington "New DESOR", but genreally I much prefer going to on-line sites and wish everyone would post their work. My assumption is that no-one creating a discography is doing it for the money. If they print it there are expenses involved which need to be recouped. On-line there is very little expense and you can constantly up-date your work. You can also call on others for help. I've made my own very minor contributions to Miles, Bird, Mingus and Ellington discographical web-sites. On-line discographies can be made very easy to navigate. (I especially recommend Peter Losin's Miles and Bird discographies as excellent examples.) The New DESOR has an amazing amount of information in it but when using it I often have to refer to one volume to find the date I'm looking for and the other to get the list of soloists. (And at my age they're heavy as well as expensive.) Meanwhile DESOR is being constantly revised on Sjef Hoesmit's DEMS website, but only the revisions can be found there. I wish the original was there too. If someone doing research needs finacial assistance I'd be happy to contribute but in the meantime I don't really want to shell out for a hard copy which will be difficult to find and out of date by the time I receive it. Besides my books shelves are getting full. Anyone else have an opinion about this?

It's in most of the discographies. Please buy one. Thqnks for the info.I probably won't buy a discogrphy. But rather than explain why here I'm going to start a new thread re: printed discographies on the discography thread. You're welcome to attack me there.

Thanks. Where'd you find this info? Does it give personnel?

Probably the Winter or Spring of '62. Accorsing to one of his (many ) biographies he stopped in Chicago on his trip to New York to find Woody Guthrie. He met up with Kevin Krown and scuffled around campus for a few weeks.
