Does it matter, this attention to "the majors"? Benny Golson's one big clam of an album was made for Columbia; Arthur Blythe's music devolved while at that label, and Dexter's music recorded for Steeplechase or Black Lion rates with his best of Columbia, though the smaller labels are more likely to keep his music in print. Something to chew on. If it weren't for independants and the mavericks who run them jazz would be the swing era (in terms of records) and then scraps after that. The majors often just miss the boat on jazz. So maybe this list is more of an honor roll than some "lost to the masses" lament.

In the hour before this Peggy Lee program airs Sunday night, Blue Lake Public Radio will feature an hour on Stacey Kent -- interview and music -- focused on her new album "Breakfast on the Morning Tram." www.staceykent.com

I recall talking to Barry Altschul on the air about Sunny Murray and was trying to put into words what Murray did, and Barry said, to paraphrase, "That's the way you play drums if you're playing Cecil's music." Jim has enlightened that point. By the way, did you check out the You Tube links near the bottom of this entry?

That is a trope, isn't it? That the drummer's role was time keeping and it changed to a more equal partner with the front line soloists, primarily by shifting focus from the hi-hat to the ride cymbal facilitating an ability for the whole rhythm section to transform from "Errol Garner and two other guys" to a fully interactive ensemble. Baby Dodds drove the form -- those solo drum records on Folkways? Right there he's playing the strains and varying his patterns, rhythmically and coloristically. I think Chick Webb started the popularization of drums in the public mind though from the git they're the quintessential jazz instrument. Traps had to evolve a solo language which took a bit more time than the trumpet or clarinet or piano, but it was a newer instrument. edit to correct "trope."

Thanks for the pic! And thanks for tuning in: we had one of our biggest on-line audiences in some time for this program. Skid, what did you think of the live stuff? Not a great recording but a hell of a performance.
