The Eternal Triangle by Dizzy with Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt......Dishwater by Lee Morgan.....there's a blues in C on Benny Green's Vee Jay recording with Gene Ammons that fits the burning it up bill.

This came across and thought you might like looking at it. In Terry Teachout's new bio of Armstrong he says that Armstrong called himself "Lew-is" because in New Orleans if you said "Lou-ee" that meant you were French. In any case, begin forwarded message: Parts 1 and 2 of Louis Armstrong's appearance on I've Got a Secret in 1965 with his trumpet teacher Peter Davis. Davis was the bandmaster of the Colored Waifs Home in New Orleans where Louis was famously incarcerated in 1913, the most productive sentence anyone ever served in a reform school! Note how everyone including host Steve Allen calls him "Louie" except Pops himself, who while talking about the favor he quickly gained with the street folks of New Orleans pronounces his name three times as "Little Louis." < > < > -- Tom Reney "Jazz à la Mode" Monday-Friday, 8 - 11 p.m. WFCR NPR News and Music for Western New England Hampshire House 131 County Circle Amherst, MA 01003-9257

There was a bit of a transition here between the trumpet playing leader of a revival jazz band in Texas led by Jim Cullum, and pianist/vocalist "Frank Sinatra in sneakers" Jamie Cullum. The discussion of derivation does beg the question, though: how is building on what's gone before differ from the earlier generation who built on Armstrong, Hawkins, Press or Parker? Larry's point gets to the heart of it, yet, there were some great players of the past who had obvious influences from the generation right before them. When is learning just that and where does learning cross into vamprire-ism?

Very good. Yet Smith released four albums this year. "America," the duo record with Jack DeJohnette is, admittedly, more of a "project" recording than the albums under review, which come out of working ensembles, yet it too is a killa. See: http://www.google.com/search?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=Wadada+Leo+Smith+America&btnmeta%3Dsearch%3Dsearch=Search+the+Web 2009 was a great year for Smith music lovers.

And Cecil....

Moody's version of "I'm In the Mood for Love" was recently re-issued in this set: http://www.concordmusicgroup.com/albums/The-Very-Best-Of-Prestige-Records-Prestige-60th-An/ Recall, too, the Jimmy McHugh estate sued to have the title changed from "Moody's Mood" to "I'm in the Mood For Love."

Good to hear he's still coming back, especially on the horn. Had some very enlightening experiences with him at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, including a marvelous quartet concert with pianist Eddie Russ. Louis kept laughing to the band under the applause, "I'm too old, I'm just getting to old," but he sounded great -- right out of that Fats Navarro/Clifford Brown tradition.

Not seeing that. Next to the icon you click to get started with Explorer?

The interview was recorded last summer two days before he played in Vancouver. Recorded for the CBC radio program Q; they film select interviews and this one was recently posted.

Hi Jim, I'm having that white space problem, too, with your posts. Very long segment of white space until the end. Was trying to find an older post yesterday, and wasn't able to locate the tab that allows you to back up a subject 60 days, 90 days or longer. Is that still around somewhere? LV

Nice two page review in The Nation: http://www.thenation.com/doc/20100111/yaffe

Then there's this one: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/20/arts/music/20chinen.html?_r=1&emc=eta1

Thanks See Line.

Ah, yes, that break is quick. Bobby Stark. That seems likely, yet Rex is doing Cootie to a T on Raisin the Roof.

After Jimmy Harrison's trombone solo on Wang Wang Blues there's a muted trumpet solo that's credited to Russell Smith. Bobby Stark and Rex Stwart have already soloed on the piece. I'm not familiar enough with Russell Smith's sound to identify him but, again, that recording sounds close to Cootie.

Raisin' the Roof sure sounds like Cootie. Was listed as Rex Stewart and we know from "The Big Challenge" he could immitate Williams, but it sure sounds like Cootie (playing plunger BEFORE being drafted by Ellington).

In "Early Jazz" Schuller says Cootie soloed with the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra on "Raisin' the Roof" (April '29) though I'm not finding that confirmed elsewhere. There is mention in the Classics 1927 - 31 Henderson CD that Cootie appears on "Wang Wang Blues." Anyone know wat up about this blip in Williams' career?

(Begin forwarded message). There's one Christmas song that has always baffled me. What do leaping Lords, French hens, swimming swans, and a partridge who won't come out of a pear tree have to do with Christmas? I found the answer today! The twelve days of Christmas are the twelve days between Christmas Day, Dec. 25th, the birth of Jesus, and the Epiphany, Jan. 6th, the day Christians celebrate the arrival of the Magi (Wise Men), and the revelation of Christ as the light of the world. From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during this era wrote this song as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember. -The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ. -Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments. -Three French hens stood for faith, hope, and love. -The four calling-birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. -The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament. -The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation. -Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit - Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy. -The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes. -Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit - Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control. -The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments. -The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples. -The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed. The "true love" in the song refers to God Himself. The "me" receiving the gifts is every Christian. There's your history for today. Merry (Twelve Days Of) Christmas. Dick LaPalm

There was boot on Charlie Parker Records of Bird in Washington D.C. that I heard once and it was incendiary. Is the quartet material on the record with Bill Potts Big Band the same stuff?
