He/she is pretty good about doing just links. This article is so short; it seems pretty trivial.
-
I'm friends with the filmmaker; I'll alert him to your inquiry. But if you have it, why are you looking for it?
-
RIP. Saw him a couple of times with his trio at the Jazz Bakery several years ago - they were magnificent.
Ah, hell. One of the great, always creative.

I read that Subway passed McDonald's in number of branches last year (in the US or worldwide, not sure). Not going to look it up right now though.

I don't think he's a phony. He's just playing what he plays. It's other people promoting him. (I haven't heard him, just read the articles, so I won't speak to the playing).
But your writing, Allan, makes it seem like he was the instigator and is at fault for all of this, when the story I read just said he was playing at his nursing home and getting occasional local gigs. Other people started thinking he should record. No one is a "phony" here; just one person who isn't that great a player (I suppose) and people who thought he should have a chance.

Mine just arrived today, as did the Dixon. Looking forward to hearing both.

Benjamin Franklin was never the President. He was too old by the time that the Presidency was instituted.
Ho! Is that oo it iz then? I thought all the pix on your money were Presidents.
MG
Actually, Alexander Hamilton, on the $10 bill, was never a President either.
Nor was Salmon P. Chase, on the $10,000 bill

Gold is worth a lot these days. Probably wiser to melt it down, and buy a thousand CDs.

The Pan Afrikan People's Arkestra under Horace Tapscott, formed in LA in the early 1960s.

And the Sun Ra Arkestra.
And other "collectives."
It seems to me you can trace notions of freedom in music to political developments as one thematic line. But then I would also look at more traditional folk music, and the changing economic times that led to the dearth of gigs for R&B and traditional jazz performers in the late 1960s and 1970s. The nature of political songs. Is a political song like Archie Shepp's work in that period actually effective in any way? It's not a folk song in one way (you can't have people singing it while protesting) but it is inspired by and perhaps does engender forms of anger or revolt.
But did anyone ever start a riot while listening to jazz?
I think the link mentioned above to the revolutions (and non-revolutions) of 1968 is important.
-
The Hot Spot actually has a pretty good soundtrack.
-
Tony Conrad?
Do you want just American or is the rest of the world fair game?
-
Amazon, CD Universe, Dusty Groove, etc.
Oh, the usual suspects.. Thanks!
-
So what's the place to buy the Dixon now?
-

The Journey Continues the 37th Year too!

Yes, I read it recently. It's a hearty tome; a bit of Shaw patting Shaw's back at times, but he was at a lot of places, so it ended up fine by me.
Also out there to read:
Nervous Man Nervous: Big Jay McNeely and the Rise of the Honking Tenor Sax, by Jim Dawson (but out of print)
Upside Your Head! Rhythm and Blues on Central Avenue, by Johnny Otis
Listen to the Lambs, by Johnny Otis
Midnight at the Barrelhouse, by George Lipsitz (a bio of Johnny Otis - seemed a bit more introductory than some of Lipsitz's other writings)
Brand new, not read but sitting here, is
The Chitlin' Circuit and the Road to Rock 'N' Roll, by Preston Lauterbach
Also more on LA but with a healthy amount of R&B discussion:
The Great Black Way: L.A. in the 1940s and the Lost African American Renaissance, by R.J. Smith
-
I saw it. My friend Claire Didier edited it. It's great!
-
I'll go further. One doesn't have to be too cerebral to realize the whole thing is a wry joke, with all the quotes faked.
-
Agree with Leeway. I'm interested in the extras; not available on streaming.
-
Paypal says it won't ask you to click on a link to submit the info - those are scams. But if you log in to Paypal yourself and it is there, no scam.
-
For Jorge Ben, also (or start with) get Africa Brasil. One of the greatest albums of all time. In any genre, I think.
-
Didn't feel a thing here in Los Angeles. Glad I live here, away from all those places that have earthquakes!
-
Congratulations! Now you need to make some more art!
-
Sadly I don't think that they make this any more:
Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby
According to their website, it's still in production:
http://www.benjerry.com/flavors/our-flavors/
Flavor graveyard:
http://www.benjerry.com/fun/halloween/?fg=1
But in neither is listed one that I liked a lot but only found twice in stores (never in a shop):
http://www.icecreamsource.com/Dave-Mathews-Band-Magic-Brownies_p_65.html
hmm, maybe found a source
The flavor locator is pretty cool:
http://www.benjerry.com/flavors/flavor-locator/
and so is this:
/www.icecreamsource.com
otherwise, I have a soft spot for Baskin Robbins Peanut Butter & Chocolate, but not really any other Baskin-Robbins flavors.
And I generally get chocolate & vanilla form Trader Joe's, and that serves my purposes.

Burrell is always in town; he lives in LA, as far as I know, because he teaches at UCLA. He has a concert as part of UCLA Live this Fall or Winter with lots of guests, and he tends to play Catalina's twice a year.
But of course that tends to make me to take him for granted, and that' a mistake.
Looking for poster from "My Name Is Albert Ayler" documentary
