March 5th is a Saturday?...will try to catch that, C-ball. Is it going to be archived on the site? Charles Moore resurfaced in the late 1980's/early 1990's with the band Eternal Wind. They actually played a concert in Grand Rapids. From what has been out on Adam Rudolph's Meta Records the band gets together when ever they can....http://www.metarecords.com/ Kenny Cox. Man he was ubiquitous on the Michigan music scene. Heard him back Pepper Adams, in his own quartet -- too many gigs to even remember. Though he didn't record much his career was fairly active around Detroit, Ann Arbor and across the state.

Midnight Special, and the chatter that closes the cd.

I saw this Chuck, as well as the "Coleman Hawkins on Demand" link and have been biting my tongue. Downloads are a big no-no. Streaming the same music on the web for 24 hours is also against the rules for broadcasters, yet I don't know the situation here. If a legit radio station were to do that they would be operating outside of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act for web casting and open to paying royalties based on how many people listened. Or their license to web cast would be revoked. Cuscuna was cool with us playing more of a single artist than the rules allowed, but the EMI legal department in England was not, in writing, verboten. They said they'd maybe consider a case-by-case basis. (For what it is worth I still have no idea how WKCR gets away with those marathon programs. I have it second or third hand that they say they belong to a student radio consortium that has been given a waiver, though in my experience Capitol, Verve and that whole group, and Columbia/Sony do not grant waivers, not even to XM or Sirius, from what I've been told by their legal departments. Maybe they were just shining me on, but then again they didn't impress me as jokers). What's kind of funny, though, is that royalty payments are based on audience size. Let's see, three? Right now there are around 4 million subscribers to satellite radio, but over 27 million people listening to radio on-line every day. In any case, it isn't up to me to police these things. All I know is that the radio professionals at WEMU in Ypsilanti and WKAR in East Lansing, people with real radio chops who I admire professionally, are doing all they can to stay within the guidelines set out for web casting. Blue Lake will follow their lead and adhere to rules laid out by NPR and the U.S. Congress.

His "Cresent" on Translinear Light is similar in mood to "Dear Alice" on the new In Flux. "Dear Alice" takes things a bit further out emotionally. Yeah, I go for that. Boy did he get panned for his concert in Chicago this past summer -- Howard Reich didn't appreciate the piece the Jazz Insitute of Chicago commissioned from Mr. Coltrane. Anyone actually hear that performance? Anyone happen to catch Ravi, Alice and Branford M. in the recent concert (as reported on All About Jazz)?

P.S. did anyone see that film clip of Charlie Rouse playing with Ellington? Had read about that but never heard the music, or even knew there is video of that association. Is it commercially available?

I taped that. What a great segment for national television to run. Would love to see more programs like that.

Throughout much of the 1980's Larry Nozero was the music director at Mackinaw Island, too.

Was it on? I'm at work and was just wondering.....

Heard about it through Tony Gasperre (sp) at the Jazz Programmer's list (for radio programmers). He runs the Jazz Week chart you see on the front of AAJ and is putting together television listings. As part of his request for information on where to find jazz on t.v. (anyone?) he included this listing.

You think the nasties here are bad, Branford Marsalis just shut down his forum do to "childish bullshit." It was out of hand, rounding the bend towards Penthouse Forum. Sockpuppets are dangerous mouthy creatures better left un-eaten; cooked or raw they're unpalatable. p.s. I think Wardell Gray's "Easy Swing" is Bird's "Steeplechase" but I'm waiting for some help on that one.....

The Jazz Record Mart in Chicago is mecca (so's their web site). Or there's always Chuck's basement!

Cecil Brooks III Big Band Cecil's Big Band, led by Joe Elefante, will be featured on ABC's Nightline this Friday, Feb. 18th, at 11:30 PM EST.

Yeah, I guess Ruffin is there to provide a "smooth jazz" or "fusion" perspective and that, ultimately, is forced. We've been broadcasting this Sunday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. since the start of the year. Public Radio International blew it with the local stations -- they wouldn't let us buy anything a la carte -- so Minnesota Public Radio pulled out of the deal, taking "A Prarie Home Companion" with them. Well, not only that, but many fine classical programs. So we had to ditch Jim Wilke's "Jazz After Hours" and "Riverwalk" (on the jazz side of things) and picked up "Listen Here," "Jazz Profiles" and for the overnights "Jazz with Bob Parlocha." Wilke is far better, especially as his program is live, but the expense is just way too much for overnight jazz. p.s. You ARE a freeyake!

Neil Tesser really takes the LCJO version of "A Love Supreme" to task....

A band is playing at the lavish wedding reception for a Mafia member's daughter. A tough looking guy walks up to the band leader and says, "My cousin Angelo wants that you should play 'Come Rain or Come Shine'.....and if I was you, I'd play both."

p.s. Kalaparush has a new release on C.I.M.P. records called Kalaparush M. McIntyre & The Light meet Adam Lane -- Paths to Glory. Includes a couple of duets with K and bassist Lane, among them "Confirmation."

Thanks Ghost -- I'm pushing hard to have us on the net by then....

New version of "Accentuate" by Al Jarreau..."Blues in the Night" by Woody Herman, Mel Torme with Buddy Rich and perhaps best of all by Hot Lips Page with Artie Shaw....For "Get Happy" there's Coleman Hawkins from "Bean Bags" or the Red Norvo's Fabulous Jam Session with Bird and Diz...perhaps....Love Ray Charles singing "Come Rain for Come Shine." Trane doing "My Shining Hour." .....Harold Arlen said his favorite was "Last Night When We Were Young"...heard that on the radio today....Tony Bennet with Stan Getz do justice to "Out of This World," though the mac daddy "Out of This World" belongs to Coltrane....

Favorite compositions of his as played by jazz musicians? Chuck, any chance of you sharing your Art Pepper "Over the Rainbow" story?
