Does that mean one on top too? Ha!... No, side by side, as the song goes. One deeper than the other. But really, he's fine.

Might have been your lucky day. Aw, Chuck... What's wrong with a drummer who plays TWO snares!?

Listening is required before commenting, I do believe. In this case: over the top = shock and awe! -
I don't know that Spoon, but I'm a big Terreon (Tank) Gully fan!

amusing mispronounciations on radio
marcello replied to slide_advantage_redoux's topic in Musician's Forum
This, from Jim Wilke of "Jazz After Hours" on the jazzproglist: Like the internet, you can't always believe your ears. Or the radio either. I used to have to remind about half the student announcers I was coaching it was Garner (not Gardner) and Blakey (not Blakely). And was it Barbara Walters who said Cowmen McWay? Jim -
This is my town so I'm glad to help. The Club Pass is a good way to see two or three different sets a night, The first shows start between 6 and 7 pm so if you make a dinner reservation beforehand, you can get a good seat. There are also concerts that are held in various auditoriums ( like Kilbourn Hall at the Eastman School od Music ) that you have access to with the Club Pass. Last year at Kilbourn Hall I saw Cedar Walton and Tim Ries; the year before, Chris Potter. Those shows start at 6pm. The only Eastman Theatre show I will see is Sonny Rollins ( who I saw there in 2003 ); the other acts don't move me too much. Rochester is a small city, so even with the Festival, it's pretty easy to see what you really want to see, especialy during the week days. All of the clubs and theaters are within a short walking distance from eachother so it is easy to go from one to the other. The most interesting for me ( besides Rollins ) are: Bill Frisell Trio John Scofield Band Ravi Coltrane Quartet Joe LaBarbera 5tet ( a hometown boy ) Dewey Redman Quartet James Spaulding Pete Laroca Sims Wallace Roney Lynn Arrielle Trio Steve Turre Quartet Don McCaslin Quartet Arthur Blythe Hilton Ruiz Trio The Crown Plaza Hotel is where all of the performers stay and there are jam sessions there every night. Last year, Tommy Smith played the most amazing tenor solo at one of those sessions that I have EVER heard, live, in my life! I'm not sure he's human.

Rooster - Don't you mean JOE LaBarbra on drums?

I have that recording. Nice sound; good performance (12/1969). I like this a little better that Captian Marvel for the performances. The last two songs are by the group with Albert Dailey, George Mraz and Billy Hart. A group I saw live many times. Sweet Rain - 6:32 Wee - 8:39 Lush Life - 4:54 Night Time Street - 9:22 La Fiesta - 12:32 Lester Left Town - 9:29 Lover Man - 12:09

Paul Desmond Biography
marcello replied to garthsj's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
I would rather use Lou's photo, if I could find it. Not to hijack the thread but I can't resist, so please forgive me in advance: Lou Ouzer, 88, a master of black and white portraiture Lou Ouzer, best known for his black and white portraits especially those of musicians, died on February 16 at age 88. A jazz concert was held at the Eastman School of Music, Rochester, New York, on February 19 and Ouzer’s pho- tographs were projected on a screen above the Eastman New Jazz Ensemble. Each musical piece was introduced by Tom Hampson, the voice of radio station WXXI’s program Mostly Jazz. Hampson gave an account of the times, the musi- cians, the music and the photographs of greats such as Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Gerry Mulligan, Paul Desmond and many other jazz notables. -
A little too much generalization on my part. I can agree with you both a be a little more festive in the future. We were discussing from Dorham's view of the genre, correct? Again, I agree with Jim and at the same time won't rain on your parade.

Paul Desmond Biography
marcello replied to garthsj's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
This note from the jazz-west coast newsgroup: I just finished my first time through this wonderful biography, and it won't be my last. It's impossible to say enough good things about this book, Doug's writing, or the work that went into producing it. Paul Desmond has been one of my very favorite musicians since the first time I heard him as a teenager in the 50's, and my appreciation has only deepened since then. In his playing, I heard much of the man that Doug allows us to know in these pages. Doug's research is extensive, and it's clear that many of Paul's friends and family opened up to him. None of this is surprising -- Doug had been close to Paul, to Brubeck, and to many of Paul's friends since the 50's, and Doug's been a top flight writer and journalist for all of those intervening years. In the book, we are treated to a nice sampling of Paul's writing, much of it in the form of letters to friends and family, but also things he writes to himself. We gain a good understanding of how he grew up, the influence of his father, a composer and arranger, how he got started in both music and writing, how he paid his dues. We get to realize the breadth of Paul's interest in the world around him, and, eventually, his view of it. We are exposed to generous and thoughtful analysis of some performances illustrating his musical development, both by Doug and by master musicians Doug recruited for the task. We read interviews and analysis of Paul the man, his music, and his musicianship from many of the great musicians of his time. Doug doesn't have to tell us how great Paul was -- he quotes musicians like John Handy and Bobby Shew saying so to their college classes, and he quotes Bird's appreciation of the alto player of his generation who played the least like him. On the other hand, this is far from a "puff piece" -- Ramsey is more than willing to expose Paul's faults and insecurities, but he also is able to put them in perspective. Having long been a fan of Doug's writing, I was thrilled to hear he had decided to write about his friend, knew it was going to be a great document. Almost the only thing that surprised me was how MUCH he was able to accomplish in so short a time. This book is a "must read" for anyone interested in Paul, in what being a jazz musician is all about, and even as a study of the time in which Paul lived. It's also quite pleasurable writing -- lively, great images, great pacing, and wonderful wordsmithing. And not only are there words -- the book has hundreds of great photographs, including my personal favorite, a shot in the studio of Paul obviously having fun at the piano and grinning from ear to ear. That photo alone is worth the price of the book! Not surprisingly, I find much in common between Paul and another of my heroes, Lester Young. I've read three books about Prez, and I feel I could still read another one to learn more about the man and his music. I won't have the problem with Paul -- Doug Ramsey got it right the first time.

Jim and Harold have hit the nail on the head. I grew up hearing a lot of organ groups; both on record and live. I own more than a few records by many of the organists that are always mentioned in this forum. For the most part, I have to REALLY be in mood to listen to a whole cd ( the one other great tink about a LP is you only had on side to play at a time ) unless it is harmonicaly interesting. It has to MOVE. I used to only be able to listen to Groove Holmes and Larry Young for any length of time because a lot of organ records are, in fact when you get down to it, pretty boring unless your'e partying!

That is the one with my homeboy, Joe Romano, playing tenor with Pepper. Donte's not Dante's.

This is a article from Macon, Georgia: Posted on Fri, Mar. 25, 2005 Catch the legendary jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd Thursday at the Douglass By Maggie Large Telegraph Staff Writer Jazz trumpet legend Donald Byrd probably has more degrees than any other jazz musician working today. Of course, at age 72, he's had several decades to dedicate to the pursuit of knowledge. But when you add up a bachelor's, master's, law degree and doctorate, you find a man who is fully committed to teaching generations about the genesis and revelations of jazz. He's scheduled to play at the Douglass Theatre March 31, and he will give a master class to students during the day. Interested students may call the Douglass box office for more details at 742-2000. "I will be doing an interesting program called M plus M equals A," Byrd said via telephone. "It's teaching mathematics through music and music through mathematics." Byrd is still maintaining an active schedule and is based in Dover, Del., where he has taught at Delaware State University. In recent days he's been working on a tribute concert to celebrate band leader Count Basie's 100th birthday. Google can be a wonderful tool; if you use it.

AOTW McLean 'Let Freedom Ring'
marcello replied to Man with the Golden Arm's topic in Album Of The Week
#1. This is a great record #2. If you are listening to Higgins from a cd, it may be the increase in the "treble' in his cymbal sound; a major problem with cd remasters/transfers. #3. That said, "basher" could never be the correct adjective for Higgins! -
Joe is a born drummer; dangerous on and off the stage!
