Trumpeters on Blue Note -- good thread, and while I understand the original point to limit it to 60's to focus the discussion, I mean, wear the shoes: you've presented Bunk Johnson, Wild Bill with Bechet, Frankie Newton, Buck Clayton, Howard McGhee, Fats Navarro, Clifford Brown, Miles Davis and the first Freddie in the 1940's and 1950's...and it's "what have you done for me lately"? Some of the greatest trumpeters in the history of the music recorded for the label in several decades across the evolution of the music, and the ideas they presented in these recordings fertilized everything. Those '60's cats weren't born of air. Thanks, Mark, for reminding us again of "Clarion Calls" and "Bronze Injuns" (right?). The Adams/Byrd collaboration -- look out. How about a twin bill concert with that band and The Jazztet? More evidence of Tommy Turrentine's swinging melodic ideas documented last year by Brian Lynch in recording a handful of TT's previously unknown compositions.

Jaribu and Tani are a rhythmic force that will blow people away who haven't heard them live.

Thanks Don. Yes, going through this it's clear not having at least three Mosaic sets involving Pepper has me way behind.....

I'm into it, too, and it's a kick. Wishing I had the time and bread to fill out the Pepper Adams collection. Those first Transition recordings he made were issued on CD from Blue Note: do you know where those are? Part of a collection of things?

Is there a thread going on this? http://www.pepperadams.com/JoyRoad/index.html

Northwestern in Detroit is another vaunted program, with stories of Tommy Flanagan racing Sir. Roland Hanna to the rehearsal room because who ever got their first practiced on the better piano. I think Bags went there, too. Bassist Rodney Whitaker, who went there, is up on that school's history. Harry Begian, who conducted the bands at Cass Tech., was here at Blue Lake for years. He said he came into the music program there a few years after Howard McGhee was at Cass.

Thanks for that.

The book is now in its second run in hard cover. Sunday night from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. eastern time we'll feature the music of Johnny Hartman and an interview with this author, Gregg Akkerman. So, over the 3 hours we'll hear Hartman from 1947 up to the Bridges of Madison County soundtrack (taken from the Beehive LP) interspersed with 21 "modules" of the interview. Here's hoping there's some flow to the program, eh? Great story. Please join our web stream via http://www.bluelake.org/radio.html or through the iPhone or Android smart phone app (search Blue Lake Public Radio at your app store). And, of course, here in Michigan on FM 90.3 or 88.9.

Hi Lazaro, I'm Paul Bloom, the current pianist at the Brubeck Institute in Stockton California. We've set up a benefit concert (http://jazzfoundation.org/DaynaStephens) to try to help cover some of Dayna Stephens' huge medical costs. The benefit is at the Piedmont Piano Company in Oakland on February 17th. I was wondering whether you might be able to spread awareness about Dayna Stephens and the concert. Thanks a lot! Paul

Yes!

Thanks Ken!

Sounds like you're playing the head to Patterson's People with a few subtle shifts of rhythm accent from the way you played it live on Blue Lake with Paul Brewer? Randiculous fo' sho'!

Is there a story behind Daugherty and Herb Albert? A Blue Lake Public Radio listener is trying to find this one.

Ellington's Sacred Music Concerts (people talking about God; as opposed to religious music, people talking to God -- Duke's def.) Dave Brubeck wrote sacred music, too. A mass, several other large scale works, "Light in the Wilderness."

The recordings from the 2000's with the European big bands...except "Celebration," which was written as a sort of concerto for Gerry Mulligan...showed how moving large instrumental forces can happen without assembling a string of solos. John Hollenbeck blows up on those. That deconstruction of King Porter Stomp, "K.P. '94" is wild. Also, played an lp the other day from 1981 recorded at Columbia's 30th St. studio that included a multi-track valve-trombone/rhythm section track called "Mirrors." Playing contrapuntal parts was a big thing with him. His relationship on record with Getz, including that mid-1960's Columbia album with Herbie Hancock and Gary Burton, yielded some lovely stuff. (edited the year to 1981).

Wadada Leo Smith's "Ten Freedom Summers" is near the top.

Faruq Z. Bey. Some hard core post-Coltrane Motown spiritual music went down in his honor at Kerrytown Concert House in October during Edge Fest. Blew away several of the young New Yorkers in the audience, Andrew Drury, Taylor Ho Bynum, who had no idea. Authentic Detroit lay out. Anthony Holland's post-Roscoe lyricism; David McMurray's forgedeaboutit sonic flights; Jaribu Shahid, basses and calling the rehearsals, cracking; and a drummer who did a great job deputizing for Tani Tabbal.
