This is becoming a big debate. I thought there would be a simple answer to a simple question. I guess unless you were there, there may never be a definitive answer.

We all know how great a guitarist Charlie Christian was. It made me wonder why wasn’t he ever offered a date as a leader. Was there something in his contract with Benny Goodman that prevented him from leading up a band of his own?

Yes, it is a sad loss.

Wow, I just read this on line. Sad news.

Mike, it is the Texas Tenors. Great film.

It’s a documentary of Illinois Jacquet. This part his band were in France preforming in an very old castle. The film lacks on some details. I have to watch the closing credits to see if I can catch the names of the musicians in the band.

This second photo is Cicel Payne. The others names are never mentioned in the film. I thought Woody Shaw too, but he walked into the room with a Tenor. Plus the year is 1990, and Shaw was dead by then.

These 2 guys, I have no idea. Any guesses?

This one I know. Do you know who this is?

I have to admit, I have no idea who this bass player is. Does anyone have a guess as to who it might be.

This is great to read.

Doesn't work just suck? Espically when you get stuck putting in all those extra hours with nothing inreturn, not even a thanks from the powers to be.

This made me sick. If if bothers too many, I will delete the thread. It id very graphic. It still amazes me that this gies on in the 21st century. http://www.hsus2.org/slideshow-seal-hunt/sealhunt.html

Having not read anyones posts yet, I have only figured out one track so far on disc 1. Track three is Fletcher Henderson, if I can trust my ears.

Welcome. Rob, I was listening today to Night at the Black hawk. What a great album. I'll be sure to play his music on the 5th of May.

Yeah, that's correct.

You're at 50%

Can you figure out who these 2 artists are?

Can you name some musicians that have remained as side players for the front men? I can think of Bob Cranshaw for Sonny rollins. Al Foster for Joe Henderson. I guess you can say Nat Adderley for Cannonball would be another.

Was shink wrapping of LP albums there from the very beginning? How were the early 33 1/3 records packaged or sealed?

So what happened in the staff meeting when you answered 'neither'? Get demoted? There's this woman who swares she's street smart, but she would get mugged in a nursery school. It made me wonder what other people think of them selves.

Coming out 3/22/05 on DVD. I just pre-ordered this. Synopsis: A concert recording from 1976, this performance from Harold Silver and his quintet is taken from the Umbria Jazz Festival. A composer and pianist of some repute, Silver has garnered an impressive reputation for himself over his lengthy tenure in the music industry. Confessing that he prefers to work with a small group in order to allow for more improvisation, Silver allows himself--and the musicians that surround him--to stretch out and express themselves at every opportunity. Silver never ventured into the studio to record the songs presented here, making this an extra special artefact from the great jazz man

It was a discussion today at work.
