  1. I know I shouldn't laugh, but I'm imagining the drunk as Tom Waits and...DAMN that's funny! Sorry Jim. It wasn't funny. It was sad.
  2. “Rhythm and the Blues” is well worth picking up.
  3. That makes me remember a couple of things: First, is that Stan is the only soloists that i've seen that almost always kept his eyes open when he played. Second, is that once when he was playing in my hometown for at least a week (at a Ramada Inn of all places, with Albert Daily, George Mraz and Billy Hart), he was being bugged by some drunk traveling business man at the bar, which was close to the stage. Stan played Lush Life I think in a effort to cool the lame out and he was magnificent! The drunk was unmoved though and yelled "That was very poignant!!" I thought Stan was going to come off the stage and kick his ass. That band was a killer!
  4. Dado is a Baaad Boy! He'll be at Orvieto this winter as part of Joe Locke's group along with Mickey Roker and Bob Cranshaw. He's perfect for this group; swinging, great feel and a big groove. They will be playing a lot of Milt Jackson music along with Joe Locke's. What Durium means is not only is he a great pianist, but he's very tall. Gig guy! He's a very, very nice man too! The musicians love him.
  5. Did anyone mention Mingus' Changes One and Changes Two? Two of my favorites!
  6. Happy Birthday Mark!
  7. The man to ask is NOAL COHEN

  10. Looks like you nailed it, Michael!
  11. I saw this photo on Flickr and can identify Woody Shaw and Curtis Fuller (maybe that's Louis Hayes), but who are the rest? serge.corrieras' photostream (Serge also has amazing photos of Cambodia.)
  12. No, not this video. But that one sound intriguing, as well. I'll have to look for it. Here it is... Jimmy Witherspoon with Art Pepper Jimmy Witherspoon (voc), Art Pepper (as), Roy Alexander (organ), Terry Evans (g), Maurice Simon Jr. (dms) September 1981 - Lighthouse Café, Los Angeles * ROLL 'EM PETE TV Broadcast * UNKNOW TITLE ¾ L.A. JAZZ. No. 1. Copyright Collection Burns/Grillo/Riche for ABC Video Enterprises, Inc., 1981. Director: Louis J. Horvitz; Producer: Bonnie Burns. 30 mins., color, 3/4" videocassette. VBD 2147 Concentrating on West Coast sounds taped at the Lighthouse Cafe, this first of a series of videos focuses on Ahmad Jamal (with the support of Payton Crossley and Thomas Palmer) and Jimmy Witherspoon and his Band, with a special guest appearance by Art Pepper. Hosted by Leonard Feather.
  13. Is that the one where he plays a blues with Jimmy Witherspoon? That's a frightening solo!
  14. left-handed piano Oh..Mary Lou Williams was left handed. Barry Kiener was left handed
  15. Hey, they eventually found the Dean Benedetti tapes!
  16. So, what happens to the small local/regional/indie labels that the majors don't buy up? The ones that documented so much regional R&B & jazz? If no major company buys them up, then what becomes of them? What about all the European & Japanese labels? What I'm trying to figure out is if "all" meaning all is a corporate all or a reality-based all. It means all that they can get their hands on. As a example, one of the compaies in my area has the Microsoft contract to digitize everything in the Yale library. Every book, perodical and thesis that they have. So I would assume that as they become avilable, every recording will be done also, by some company someday. The Japanese label are a no brainer. They are way ahead of the curve in this respect. I've had business relations with Yasohachi Itoh who not only owns Eastwind and Eighty Eights, but was the head of the department at Sony that developed the SACD. Itoh-san:
  17. Shawn - Every major media company ( print, film and music) have been buying up small companies, consolidating product and digitizing libraries. A case in point is Concord ,who is not even a major (another larger fish will buy them for their library). Why go through the expense of stocking, manufacturing, shipping and serviceing a physical piece that sells only a few copies when they can make you settle for a download now and the future is in hi-res with added content? And later, if you want a copy from the manufacturer, you can order ala carte. Soon, the delivery of content will be via optical lines not wire, and that will enable hage amounts of data to stream anywhere. This means that you will get content in terrabytes! Hell, not onl;y will you get the music and tthe liner notes, but a hologram of the musican playing (like Trane in that Tom Cruise move)! I'm also a home bulider and Verison (for one) offers me a "commission" for every house that uses their optical lines if I let them install them in my subdivisions. They want to get the infrastructure to as many customers as possible, as soon as possible.
  18. Two questions - 1) Is this just wishful thinking, or is something fixing to happen for real? 2) Does "all" really mean all? Jim, it's real. And yes, someday all. They are archiving now.
  19. You know Chuck, I wonder who is being compensated for this one by Joe Fields: I actually have a tape of this that I recorded off the radio back in the day. It was broadcst on WBFO. "was taped in mid-winter 1976 during a long-running gig in snow-covered Buffalo, New York."
  20. I heard Basin Street Blues the other day on the radio and was not impressed. But hey, that's just me. I hate retro New Orleans music.
  21. When vibraphonist Joe Locke was about 16, and he was playing with older musicians in the ghetto, he was paid in chicken wings!
  22. In the near future all past recorded media will be available for download ( in Hi Res.), the the owners and copyright holders will be paid. They will use a format like the one Media Guide uses ( and Media Guide is owned by ASCAP) to digitally monitor downloads/plays, to determine compensation.
  23. I wondered what you going to say Chuck. Personally, I think it's a drag for the artists involved. You can't eqaute it with buying a copy a a used record store either. That's a one time purchase to one person at a time who just happens to run across it. This is mass distribution to anyone in the world with a internet connection.
