    Some good stuff on this one!

     

     

    @medjuck Definitely Fathead, and I'm pretty sure that I have this record and that I like it. But that's all I can think of right now. Always a pleasure to Fathead, Always.

    It is indeed Fathead but I think there's a good chance you don't have this record.  Hint: 2 of the other musicians get equal billing.

    And Ruth has been the director of the Jazz BAkery in Los Angeles for many a year.

    IIRC she was married to a great disc jockey who was responsible for taping Garner's Concert by the Sea.  I heard him once broadcasting the origins of much of Sketches of Spain.  Forget his name right now. 

  7. The Worst Masterpiece: "Rhapsody in Blue" at 100, by Ethan Iverson

    this is getting silly - the LA Times takes the tack that the piece was "aspirational," as though that has anything to do with whether Rhapsody is worthwhile or not. Ethan is right - Rhapsody is a pastiche of empty musical gestures, fun and dynamic at times, but shallow and musically all surface. I don't care how ambitious Gershwin was; Trump is ambitious. That does not mean anything good.

    It's not the LA Times. It's a guy who who usually writes  about  Latino life saying what it means to him.   I think it's interesting to hear from a non-musician non-white.

    "Leading from the organ chair, McDuff is joined by Leo Johnson on tenor saxophone, flute and clarinet, Dave Young on tenor and soprano saxophone, Vinnie Corrao on guitar, and Ron Davis on drums." I read on lydialiebman.com on the same site, it says that the second LP of the Manne set has Hampton Hawes together with Frank Strozier...

    Wow. Is there a cd?

    I need to call the server company and see if I can pay for the entire year rather than monthly. 

    As of now, we've raised $1300 + Dan's $130 that paid to get the lights turned back on, so $1430 in total. That's awesome! You guys are great. If I can get it just paid for the entire year, then we don't need to worry about it again until next February.

    I'll look into some subscription models. I think this software supports it.

    Did you get enough to repay Dan (at least in part)?  He shouldn't have to shoulder the load.

    There was a George Russell jazz guitarist, too.

    There was Bill Smith the clarinetist/composer and Bill Smith the jazz guitarist.

    There was George Handy the great arr/composer/pianist and and the bunch of Handys already mentioned.

    There were two alto sax players Vinny Dean and Chasey Dean

    There was Eddie Costa and Don Costa and Johnny Costa

    I used to work with Rudy Williams (cousin of Mingus) and there was the Savoy Sultans Rudy Williams, who the first Rudy Willams claimed he was, both alto sax players.

    Everyone still thinks Dick Garcia was really a pseudonym for Hank Garland when he recorded in NY. It wasn't.

    There was Joe Carbone (sax) John Carbone (Bass) and Joe Carbone (guitar)

     

     

    Bill Smith, editor of Coda, played Alto sax.

    On Spotify, you could do just that provided that everything you need is on there... (I guess it's the same on other services)

    So you could do that with the Decca Ellingtons since Early Ellington seems to be there.  I think they also have some grey area European issues that might have some of the Pathes etc.

    That would be great but a lot of important Basie is not on Columbia or RCA ( though a lot is).   Is it possible on any of the streaming services to make a public playlist that takes from the existing ones and adds to them?

    You are right on that. The 95 year expiration is just for video recordings. I was blinded by Steamboat Willie's recent appearance in the PD.

    And I think for just about everything else (books, films, etc) except sound recordings.
