That links to the front page, but the article that I assume you mean won't always be there. Here's the permalink: Hitler's Very Own Hot Jazz Band

Hoodoo Man Blues (just for the record, so to speak)

After which he is coming to Boston for a week's residency at New England Conservatory. Hopefully, there will be a concert of some kind at the school. The latter residency is March 26 - March 30. http://www.daveholla...ency-2012-03-26

JSngry--- That's two threads now, so I'm pointing out that the correct spelling of Sarah's last name is Vaughan.

Yes, the title now says "CBE," and that's correct. I was sort of clarifying the discussion (or trying to). You're welcome (again), Val!

That's correct. Stan Tracey was awarded an OBE (Officer) in 1986. His new award is a CBE (Commander), which is a "promotion" from OBE.

In #53 of ECM reissues Bennie Maupin & Dewey Redman, I'd mentioned to y'all that Sam Rivers - Contrasts is one of the entries in a "most wanted ECM albums" poll. I just wanted to add that Dave Liebman - Lookout Farm is another one.

Speaking of Steve Lake and JazzCorner, this post is especially for those of you who are registered members of JazzCorner as well as Organissimo (but might not have visited JC lately). "A poll: why not? . . . I'll forward the results inside the ECM office." —Steve Lake of ECM, in JC's ECM RECORDS FORUM ♪ ♪ ♪ You're cordially invited to drop by JC and vote in the following poll: ♪ ♪ ♪ Poll: What ECM albums do you MOST want "in print" on CD in your country? http://tinyurl.com/2n6uk4 The poll will be open until the end of December. Only registered members of JC can vote in it. "Contrasts" not only is in the poll but has gotten the most votes so far.

Hi, relyles-- I'm probably the wrong person to comment; IIRC, I'd never heard any of the musicians before, live or otherwise. But so be it. It was a very nice show, especially considering the improbable venue. However, it was largely spoiled for me by the drumming of Chad Taylor, which was consistently much too loud and overpowering, IMO. (And that was within Taylor's control.) The drumming was nonresponsive in other respects as well, IMO; in tune after tune, Taylor drew on what translated to me as an African-sounding riff, overusing it to the point of monotony. Nope, I didn't enjoy the work of Chad Taylor! I actually left a bit early to escape it. From what I could discern over the din of the drumming, Moondoc was great, Voigt was good, and Lavelle was somewhere between good and workmanlike. Maybe someone with a different perspective will weigh in.

Thanks! I knew who the others were, but I couldn't remember John's last name. (It's spelled John, apparently.)And spelled Voigt, apparently. The guy who spells his name Jon Voight is the movie star, not the bassist.

Thanks! I knew who the others were, but I couldn't remember John's last name. (It's spelled John, apparently.)

Having worked sort of backwards, I'm pretty sure it was John Voigt. Can anyone confirm that?

I went, though I left before what must have been the last tune or so. Can anyone else who went remind me who the bass player was? Thanks.

All still on board. Ron was thrilled to have your contribution to the Dobie collection come in. I'm telling you, don't be a stranguh. You can "multitask," you know! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Many thanks to Chris, Kevin B, Ron S, and the rest of you!

Kevin-- Thank you!! I just saw your reply on JC. (The purpose of my PM to Kevin was to direct him to my request for computer help on JC, for problems that are occurring only on JC.) Edit:The computer problems are all fixed now! Chris-- Thanks and hi! The door is open, you know.

Certainly not! Some functions are a private matter.

The messages to each of them are completely different. Just take them to a computer and show them #1, please! I wouldn't presume to tell you to let them out.

alankin--Please check your PMs here on Organissimo. (I also sent several e-mails.) Edit: Someone contacted him, and he sent word that he'll get back to me as soon as he can. Thanks! Kevin Bresnahan--Please check your PMs on JC. Edit: Done. Thanks! Other folks, please help me get those guys' attention. Edit: Mission accomplished! Thank you! --bluenoter (mostly of JC)

Re the Burnett episode, Warming by the Devil's Fire: That sums it up for me too. I didn't mind the framing story, and I didn't really mind the chronological jumble of the musical selections--the order seemed to make a kind of sense on a nonrational, artistic level. IMO there's no reason to avoid the episode, and there are very good reasons to catch it.

Mike--I assume that you're talking about the lyrics to Robert Johnson's "Walking Blues." If so, you weren't hallucinating, and IMO the transcription that you saw was correct. "Lord, I feel like blowing my old lonesome ____." What horn? Did Robert Johnson play trumpet? No. Did Robert Johnson have a car (on which to blow the horn)? Well, we know that he had a Terraplane at some point, but in "Walking Blues," he's got the . . . walking blues. "Blowing" means "leaving," as in "I'm going to blow this town." He's "leaving this morning" if he has to "ride the blinds" (hop a freight train). He wouldn't need to think about doing that if he had a car. Today there are "official" transcriptions of Robert Johnson's lyrics, and I assume that the one for "Walking Blues" says "horn." However, on the old Columbia LP Robert Johnson: King of the Delta Blues Singers, the transcription in the liner notes says "home."

Others: Andrew White (sax) and James King (bass) Cost: none! Preceded by a panel discussion. I don't know--I'll believe it when I see it. From http://dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/8...81363/index.php :

Uli--I'm not one of your dreaded "lowercase" (eai) minions, but before Steve Reynolds disappeared, I considered myself a fledgling minion of his, and he himself dubbed me an official minion.
