A moronic article, full of bile and hate. You would think a magazine like this would employ editors or sub editors to oversee their riffraff contributors. Stan certainly had his weak moments, but on the other hand he made some excellent recordings and employed some superb musicians. And, the musicians respected him. He does not deserve this. The writer would not know jazz or decency if it was approaching his navel from way down on the inside. I wanted to reply direct, but it seems to comment one has to sign up for a lifetime - of this crap? No Way. Never. Monstrous article. Q

Confirmation. Q

You're way ahead of me. You do great Bird (right!), great Warne Marsh (right!). Now you do this (???). Q

And here I thought swing was passe on this board! Nice to hear that it's not! Just a nice even 4 ... and a fine soloist. What more could one ask... Q

Nice underwear. Q

Allen you keep repeating your thing on Tristano based on some interview you did when you were a teenager... well, whatever, his music speaks for itself - check out the Jazz Records catalogue - not to mention the many who, contrary to you, knew him well and admired him greatly. Q

Buddy was always a swinger - the great bebop musicians were swingers (check out Bird with Big Sid on Uptown). He drives Eager and Fats to their best on the WNEW jam session of '47. Q

Including the unreleased sessions ... Q

Warne Marsh - Live in Las Vegas (I think you know it) - and/or Look Up & Live 1964 Tristano Quintet on Jazz Records. Q

After the put-downs I listened to some Sonny (Sittin' in with the OP Trio ) and I'm sorry Clem/ Brian /Mom etc, but that is some heavy alto shit, and demands Respect at least (which I thought was valued in Your Culture) ... Q

Was it for a "tribute" type program? That usually accentuates the positive, so to speak ... Truth can get in the way. Q

My favorite tenor saxophone taxonomy: DAVE PELL Nino Tempo arthur rollini ziggy vines You have to guess who this is. You've got me. Who? (Anyway, nice to see Ziggy there, although for what obscure reason I don't know ... but he could play!) Q

Stuart Varden and Fat's daughter arranged a head stone for Fats in Linden NJ a few years ago. If I recall correctly the Rasey interview is on Stuart's page on Fats, which is certainly worth viewing. Q

Right. I have the Dutch release comprising 12 tracks, 1-6 from 9/17/55 & 7-12 from 9/18/55. Excellent playing from all concerned, and a very nice production. Q

I don't feel there's any blame or burden ... things move on, for better or worse. But you know and I know how good it was/ is. Q

I would have thought most people who bought this did so because of the '39 jam session. The sound and quality of the music is excellent. The remainder I have (mostly) and the sound did not bother me. Allen got this whole deal off to a bad start by bad mouthing before he had listened to it ... Q

Agreed - so, were 2 & 4 ever released by Cosmopolitan - (your question, I guess ). Q

The listing from Jack Goodwin's Warne Marsh Discography: 51-0427 KAI WINDING QUINTET. NYC, April 27, 1951. Kai Winding, tb; Warne Marsh, ts; Billy Taylor, p; Jack Lesberg, b; Charlie Perry, d; Melvin Moore voc * 1 DEEP PURPLE * LD 8050 2:42 2 YOU'RE BLASÉ * LD 8051 2:43 3 I'M SHOOTING HIGH LD 8052 2:53 4 MOONSHOWER LD 8053 2:41 all R Xanadu 172 (tracks 3 & 4 Marsh solos only) all CD Cool & Blue CD-110 1,3 R Cosmopolitan 300 : IAJRC LP-15 (as from 51-0527) This raises some questions: According to the above, only 1&3 were on Cosompolitan 300, which was presumeably a 78 rpm release(?). Were these originally recorded on Cosmopolitan? (Are the LD prefix series Cosmopolitan productions, or those of another label)? Q

Uh Oh Q

Did you mean *intersetting*? It sounds about just right. From the Urban Dictionary: Intersetting. buy intersetting mugs, tshirts and magnets. A place where you are surrounded by awful people. Dude 1: How was the party last night dude? Dude 2: It was pretty sweet, but there was a total intersetting in the kitchen dude. ... Q

Pathetic thread. Q

Sangry's got it (her). Bye bye. Q

Let's let it go. Q

Apologies! Margareta? She and Bud met in New York in 1964. She was working at Atlantic Records. They fell in love. She brought some happiness to him in his final months. Very nice - couldn't catch the French too much, but some great Bud shots and fine music. Q

Certainly Clifford, to my ears. Who's the other cat? I couldn't hear it all that well ... my wife is cleaning the house. Anyway, interesting... nice to hear one of the last of the real jazz greats. Q
