Chas Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 How about the surnames of Doug Mettome and Harold Ousley ? Quote
sidewinder Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Harry Babasin's last name? I've always heard it pronounced (on the radio over here) 'Babbasin' - all short. Quote
Spontooneous Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Maybe it's in one of his books, maybe it's in liner notes. Somewhere Ira Gitler maps out Doug Mettome's name: MET-oh-me. Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 I've heard Axel Stordahl pronounced both Stor - DAHL and STOR - dl Which is it? Quote

ghost of miles Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 Bob Enevoldsen's last name? (Thanks, btw, to all who've replied... there are several book and online guides for classical pronouncers, but so far I've found only one very incomplete online resource for jazz names). Quote

(Thanks, btw, to all who've replied... there are several book and online guides for classical pronouncers, but so far I've found only one very incomplete online resource for jazz names). E-nuh-vold-sin No way. Enevoldsen is a Danish name. Pronounce it like the Italian 'bene' without the 'b'. The last E, I suppose, is silent. Quote

Harold_Z Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 I've heard Axel Stordahl pronounced both Stor - DAHL and STOR - dl Which is it? I've always heard Stor - DAHL (no particular emphasis on the last syllable. like this: Store-doll.) Quote

Claude Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 I've always heard Stor - DAHL (no particular emphasis on the last syllable. like this: Store-doll.) That sounds like the swedish pronounciation. Quote

Guest Bill Barton Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) Otomo Yoshihide? Edited August 30, 2007 by Bill Barton Quote
Kalo Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 Otomo Yoshihide? Just a guess, but based on what I've learned from my Japan-obsessed friend who married a Japanes native, it would be something like this: Oh-toh-moh Yoh-shee-hee-duh. In my understanding, Japanese tends to give equal emphasis to all of the syllables, thus none of them are stressed more than others. Quote

rostasi Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 Japanese tends to give equal emphasis to all of the syllables, thus none of them are stressed more than others.Whoa....you better ask yer friend again about this 'cause what makes Japanese a mountain to climb for English speaking folks is that it doesn't equally emphasize all of the syllables! I spent many days just trying to learn the proper way to pronounce "Ryoanji" this summer and the inflections have to be just right. Quote
