ghost of miles Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 (edited) Just stumbled across this online while Googling for the Parisian Redheads. Didn't realize that NUVO still had it up on the web; anyways, for anyone who's interested: Lost Legends of Indiana Jazz I don't believe that Jazz Oracle had released their Purvis set when I wrote the piece, which is why there's no mention of it.

Lazaro Vega Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Great piece, man, what an education reading through that (got about half way and then back to the fundraising....). "Crispus Attucks High School is a reminder that segregation once set down strict physical and cultural boundaries in a metropolis that boasted the highest percentage of African-American citizens in any city north of the Ohio River." Really? Chicago probably had a larger population but percentage-wise.... Quote
JSngry Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Looks to be a great article, David, but I'm going to have to cut-and-paste it into Word, since the font seems to be 2 point Phukthegeezerz.... Quote

Gee ..if you just had a mac, we've got a macro that blows the copy up to any size you want! Interesting article ..and they didnt even get into the bebop era figures in the 50s and beyond! maybe he's gonna do another installment? Quote
JSngry Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 I've had a Big Mac, and that blows me up to any size I don't want, so if I feed it to the computer, what will happen then? Quote

johnlitweiler Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 Is David Brent Johnson the Ghost of Miles, then? A wonderful article. Charles Tyler came from 1950s Naptown, too. Any link between the city's blues, ca. Leroy Carr, and jazz? Speed Webb ran a funeral parlor in South Bend and died in his 90s. I've come to regret that I didn't look him up and try to interview him a couple dacades ago. - Some jazz musicians wound up working in the musical instrument factories in Elkhart. John Pierce, who recorded w/George Russell, was one. Some of these cats play in an Elkhart County big band called Truth In Jazz that my cousin David Plank directs. Quote

ghost of miles Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Fitted the "Lost Legends" article with photos and links and posted it on the Night Lights site. Edited June 6, 2008 by ghost of miles Quote
AllenLowe Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 can't hit the link - question - and for this I am going to have to go back to Devilin Tune, don't have it right now - but I seem to recall that the group that did the jazz version of Nightingale Rag, Hitch's Happy Harmonists, was from Indiana - are they included?

RDK Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Sounds like the title of the next Harrison Ford flick! Quote
