I have done exactly this more than once. Who is the trumpet player on this? Is it Freddie?

My brother has played with Rene Marie in Richmond, but I haven't heard her. Everyone there tells me she was amazing. I had forgotten. Good of you to bring this up! Better get "Vertigo" for yourself for Christmas then. Excellent stuff. The Jazz Standard disc is nice too. Rene is REALLY talented and her story is really interesting. She was a stay-at-home mom like Shirley Horn for many years and then when the kids were gone or at least able to take care of themselves, she started getting her singing back on track (it had been on hold since college). I love her version of A Foggy Day.

I've done research on Cannon. I created the account following a long period of listening to him and totally digging him. If I changed my name it would be something trite like Colonel Jazz. Re: Bird. I feel like I've heard all the (classic) solos and I want more. I don't have the bootleg tapes so I need to hear those solos too. I mean, I can listen to Bird day-in day-out and feel totally inadequate and amazed, which is hopefully the effect his playing has on all of us, as musicians and humans for that matter. How could a man be so great? How could someone create something so wholly original? While on drugs!?!? I do dig Dolphy and as a saxophonist myself, I totally dig where he was coming from. I've heard him play "inside," and the cat could play both ways equally well. Is it fair to say he was the original "out" alto cat? Besides Ornette? Would people say that Dolphy was a follower of Ornette's ideas or did he have his own philosophical approach? I love the album that Lonely Woman is on. And the one that Peace is on. I forget cuz I downloaded these in the days of free Audiogalaxy and much of it is mislabeled and out of order. I also listen to a lot of Johnny Hodges. I have all his rekkids as a leader. My favorite is "Everybody Knows." His sound and articulation were one-of-a-kind. I am trying to get into Jackie McLean now but often I find him to be awfully repetitive - kind of like Dexter Gordon. Entirely lick-oriented - mostly simplistic licks. I much prefer more original guys like Bird, Cannon, Ornette, Joe Henderson, Wayne, etc. When I hear him playing, I hear a guy channeling Bird, and that's cool but I feel that he often sounds too much like Bird in some ways and too much like Dexter in others and not enough himself. You understand? I dig his political activism though through his more free compositions and the names of his albums. there is so much to be said.....about saxophonists......

Yeah. These seem to have gotten me into a bit of trouble huh? Too hasty in my selections. I mainly did it as a diversion from thinking about my research on "the troubled legacy of desegregation"

Yeah. Russell. Lydian-Chromatic?

I should have taken more time to create these. I did it kind of haphazardly. I am rather shocked that I missed George Lewis - I just read a feature article about him in Jazz Eduation Journal, but I admit he is someone I don't have any rekkids by. I know he is known for a theoretical book, right? Along the lines of the Slonimsky? But otherwise I plead "ig'nance." Sorry clem. I'm only 21. Gimme some years - I'll grow.

NO! He's not?

Oh shit! I saw her play some wacky keyboard/wind instrument with Nnenna that looked like it was made by Fischer Price. She was really good. Also just thought of a new chick named Hiromi Uehara who goes simply by Hiromi.

I think Woody Allen is great. Besides being a godawful clarinetist, he has had some great music in some of his movies including Radio Days and Mighty Aphrodite. My favorite routine he used to do is "The Moose." Any other recommendations of his movies? Soundtracks? Comedic routines?

I think if you ask baritone players they would cite him among some of these cats.

He played with Basie's band for a while. I don't know if he released any under his own name.

Maxjazz just keeps getting better and better!

I recently had an epiphany using triad pairs over dominant chords. So over any dominant seven chord or minor seven, you can play the root triad and the triad beginning on the note one whole step below the root. Arpeggiating these one on top of another is a cool sound. e.g. D7 - play D, F#, A and C, E, G. In succession - C-E-G, D-F#-A, E-G-C, F#-A-D, G-C-E, A-D-F#.....there are a multitude of other patterns.

His solos on Donald Byrd's Live at the Half Note kill.

Just discovered another - guitarist Mimi Fox. She has at least one album on the Favored Nations label.

Self-explanatory. Sorry Other.

Self-explanatory. Only deceased guys/gals. Sorry Other.

That depends on what part of the world you are from. I'd say Dahl-fee.

I realized this after posting. I have three records by him. I can't believe I forgot him. He should take Frank Lacy's place since Frank Lacy is only 45. matt

Self-explanatory. Sorry other.

Self-explanatory. I know there are other good ones. Sorry Other.

He's alive dude.
