Burning a disc w/ just MAD solos by Woody Shaw.
marcello replied to Rooster_Ties's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Did I win something? It would be something to listen to his "Moontrane" solos, back to back. -

Could you be thinking of George Adams, Rooster? I might even pay to hear that! His solos always take you on a journey. -

I can agree with Mike aboput Faddis to a extent. None of his most recent records do much for me. He is a talent that never reached his "full potential", so to speak. But I also must say, I loved the early, young Faddis. I remember when he was with Thad and Mel, one of his features was "Pensive Miss"; the original is done by Snooky Young on "Basie Meets Hefti". Faddis was always wonderful on that song in particular; there is a video ( I think) of him doing that one with the band. Then there is "Youngblood" and his duets with Oscar Peterson Pablo that I like but the best is "Jon and Billy" with Billy Harper. I always felt that if Faddis didn't sink himself in the world of the studios, Wynton would not have made much of a splash early on.

I guessing that you have heard "Sunny" on the "Live" record ( Muse). Really Great!

For what it's worth, on my imac, it came up right away. It only took about 3 seconds at most.

My regard for Branford rose quite a bit when I read a recent interview where he said that that record with Milt Hinton (Trio Jeepy) was a misstake and should not have been released.

"East Wind" catalog to be reissued in U.S. by 411
marcello replied to Rooster_Ties's topic in Re-issues
I was at a recording session this last Sunday with Joe Locke and Geoffrey Keezer. The producer and label owner, for Eighty-Eights, is the highly respected Mr. Itoh, who owned and produced East Wind. Here is a photo of Mr. Itoh and Geoffrey Keezer from the session. -
Chris, That isn't a closet you have; it's a museum! I have a feeling that your apartment looks a liitle like that cover on Monk's "Underground"! But much neater, of course.

I once saw Jimmy smith play with a broken arm in a cast. He was Swingin'! Didn't even have to use his elbow

BAGS!

Very expensive, isn't it? By the time you do 20 or so LPs, you could buy your own recorder!

Your money is well spent!

I was NYC last weekend for some personal and professional business and a well known artist and friend suggested we see Italian saxophonist Rosario Giuliani and his group at Smoke. The way he said it to me was " Let's go see Rosario Guilaini, the best alto saxophonist on the planet". This is high praise from my friend, but I had never heard of him before. Well Rosario and his band of Pietro Lussu on piano, Gianluca Renzi on bass and Marcello Di Leonardo on drums were nothing short of fantasic playing some mostly origional compositions Allof the member were great players, especialy bassist Renzei who had a firm and beautiful sound and Di Leonardo's churing drums but the special joy was to hear Giuliani who would put all of the New York saxophonists to shame with his fire, facilty and soulfull sound. There were times when he could remind me of Trane on alto during his most lyrical peroid. Rosario is just one more example of of Jazz being a INTERNATIONAL MUSIC now, more than ever! He records for Dreyfus; I picked up two cds at the gig and had a nice talk with him and the band. I'm a huge fan now! Anyone else heard of him here?Rosario Giuliani Web Site

Tommy Smith's 1967 Selmer Mark VI Tenor
marcello replied to marcello's topic in Offering and Looking For...
I really don't know why he is selling it. He may have had a new one made for him by the manufacturer that he endorses ( can't remember the name right now). He wouldn't be selling it if he did not have a reason. As for his kilt; yes I believe it is his way of wearing his nationality on his ass, so to speak, when abroad. The first photo was when he was in Yeman, of all places, and the second is with Joe Locke in Rochester, New York; both from last year. -
Your rarest possession in your music collection.
marcello replied to Hardbopjazz's topic in Miscellaneous Music
I'm not sure how to rater the LPs and the private tapes that are in my collection. What might be rare and valuable to me might not be to you. I've wondered about the origional ESP disks that I have including Ayler's "Spiritual Unity" and William Burroughs "Call Me Burroughs". Are they rare? But I do have a collection of private photographs, that I would not part with (taken by myself) and hand printed photgraphs by the Great Roy De Carava ( Billie, Trane w/ Elvin ) and another Master Photographer, Louis Ouzer ( Getz, Dizzy, Mulligan, Louis, Clark Terry, Oliver Nelson, Stravinski, Alec Wilder, Duke ) that hang on the walls of my study. Here is a photo of Alec Wilder blowing bubbles outside of Lou Ouzer's studio that was attached to the Eastman School in Rochester. Not the photos of muscians in the window. -
I'm in total agreement with you here, Jim. When Osby was working with his more interesting peers and the odd vetran, he showed more fire and ideas. When left to his own devises, he just dosn't cut it. Pertty boring, as a matter a fact. If you have ever seen him lead one of his own bands, you'd know what I mean.

Re: cd recorders: I have a Denon 550R ,which has dual trays. The best reason for the cd recorder is that you loose nothing to compression as when you convert your analog signal to MP3. What you hear on the vinyl, you get on the cd. After that you can load the tracts on your computer so you can transfer them to a hand held divice, like a ipod. It's pretty simple.

Tommy Smith's 1967 Selmer Mark VI Tenor
marcello replied to marcello's topic in Offering and Looking For...
Tommy, who is a friend, is a very, very proud Scottsman. For that reason, he has chosen to stay In Scotland, even after his early sucess in the States with Gary Burton and the Blue Note label. In Scotland he is the Director of the Scottish Jazz Orchestera, tours, records and even owns a small castle! Don't let the kilt and tatar fool you; he is as bad as a saxophone player alive. You should check out his huge catalouge that he has with his own Spatacus Records and Linn. This year he was on Joe Locke's "Dear Life" and has been touring with Joe and his 4 Walls Of Freedom band, were he replaced the dear departed Bob Berg. This Summer, when that band played the Rocjester Jazz Festival and a copuple of other near by gigs, we went to the hotel were all the Festival musicians stayed and there was a nightly jam session schecduled. Tommy and the 4 Walls drummer, gary Novak got up to sit in on " Softly In A Morning Sunrise" with two other horn players and bass and guitar. After the melody, Tommy took the first solo that was a building, visceral, booting and volcanic. All of the other players except for drunner Novak bowed out while they looked on with their jaws dropped and eyes bulging. Smith and Novak got so intense that the room was half awestruck and bolted to their seats and the other half were screaming like it was the coming of Rapture. It like Trane and Elvin. It was very, very intense. It was the best live saxophone playing I have ever heard, bar none. The other players took it feebly out and called it a set, and went for a drink. So don't be fooled by the kilt! -
