Pretty much THEE female author of the 90s here in the US meaning the most prominent at the time (at least one of the top selling - her books were literally everywhere). Never read anything by her. Go figure.

Damn. Ok then. Will have to check this out

These guys played together?

On my radar

Per a Johnny Hodges interview snippet I just read, Johnny says Duke was influenced by Willie Smith, James Johnson and Fats Waller. So I'm guessing he listened to a lot of these guys' records at some point.

100%

This seems off the mark for this forum. First, there's definitely not enough forum members for it to be crawling with anything. Its barely a scamper here. And if there's deeper jazz convos going on elsewhere online I'd love to know. The jazz nerd-ery going on here is the most informative I've found because a decent representation of posters here have lived in that very world in various roles to varying degrees. That kind of experience and knowledge isn't easy to come by on a regular basis. Please correct me if I'm wrong here. I would also say the collector tag/avoidance of politics suits the Hoffman boards way better than here. If you've spent any time there in the jazz corners you know what I'm talking about. This forum isn't perfect. Reactionary political views are unfortunately well represented even within this small-ish membership. But if evidence is offered with a coherent and thoughtful editorial, you'll get better results.

A lot of time on the road with Carney driving. They probably listened to a lot of radio.

And a helluva Blue Note album 👍 EVD recorded by RVG - Motown & BN intersection

Track 15 is the Ball and Chain from this album

Track 8 could be the last track on this one Helluva line up if so. Track 6, is it Mal Waldron? Track 10 should be obvious to some folks here. I can't put my finger on it. Jacquet was a good guess but that's not it. Arnett Cobb? Track 11, is it Fred Jackson? YES it is. Song 12 from this Ah, and I have Track 12 as well. This one song # 9 Track 14, is that Art Pepper?

It's definitely sad what happened to Mingus. ALS is awful. Still going through some of his albums here: Interesting cover alternative on this Australian release of Mingusx5. And then the expanded Carnegie Hall set: On the original release, it was only Perdido & C Jam Blues which is unfortunate because the other songs are incredibly strong - well, Pullen's Big Alice is just ok. But the version here of Fables is awesome.

Nice. How'd it turn out? This was my first listen of Cumbia and I dug it. A lot. Noticed the second track was recorded in Italy with what looks like a good amount of Italian musicians. Anyone know the story as to how that came about?

My condolences to you and family

Didn't know you could mute folks. Not inclined to do it anyway. However, if I could mute the album covers with feet thread to keep it from popping up on the feed that would be great. Hope Catesta is OK.

After spending some time with Braxton's 9 Compositions I moved to Mingus largely due to the convo in the Mingus 70s Atlantic box thread. Cued up a non-Atlantic with Mingus Dynasty but then went to Changes, Changes Two & Cumbia and Jazz Fusion. Good albums all, but Dynasty is something special. And dare I say that I hear a connection between it and Braxton's work. I'm not a musician so I can't say specifically what that connection is, but my brain was bridging them together somehow. Also, Cumbia's got some long songs that are broken up into specific passages. I thought it was interesting that those passages aren't named or broken up with movement titles. It's almost like they're medleys in some spots. These Mingus album covers though 😆

@Justin V you're a great dad 👍 Raising 'em right.

Contrabass flutes sound incredible. Some cool fucking shit.

I'm way too cynical to believe she actually listened to these. Nice take. I haven't heard live Cumbia so need to check that out.

I'm literally lol'ing at this. 😂

It would be interesting to know the other projects hampered by licensing issues, especially those pipeline projects that they've kept under wraps. A few Mary Lou tracks were included on their Jazz Piano Mosaic Single CD and they're worth the price of admission.

Indeed. I've got the CDs that capture most but of course I'm missing the trombone material. Hard to justify buying the set for it but I'd love to get it at some point

Lol my preferred local used record store had a Tristano set for resale at $140 a couple of weeks ago. That shit is $99 new.

Disc 1 which is Braxton's Composition 350. The ensemble work is amazing.

Wish I could read it, but glad his work is getting this kind of publicity.
