Dan Gould Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Oh maaaannnnn ... first time I've wished I was back in New York in quite a while. And my folks aren't even home to tape it.

Michael Fitzgerald Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Yes, but the show webpage at http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/ontv/WABC_likeit_is.html (updated 2/2/04.....) says no transcripts or videotapes available. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Oh my God - footage of Jackie directing the drum and bugle corps he ran for a while! There was a moment towards the end with Jackie & Gil Noble (in his hat) that reminded me of the cover of "Jackie's Pal", except the roles were reversed heightwise.

rostasi Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Yes, but the show webpage says no transcripts or videotapes available. Oh, didn't know that it was a special show... well, maybe we can still send about 50 emails to show interest - you never know. --- Now playing: The Propositions - Bad Seed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christiern Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Gil has had this show, "Like It Is," on ABC-TV in NYC for over 30 years. He also plays piano, but not seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Chris - Thanks so much for this alert. It was so fortunate that I happened to have the computer on at home at just the right time. Otherwise I'd be kicking myself. I gotta say, I'd imagine this TV program would be more interesting to someone who didn't know jazz than the Jazz Legends show. You really got a feeling for Jackie as a person and you knew that Noble wasn't some ignorant Charlie Rose kind of interviewer. Seeing the actual buildings wasn't any big deal, but having these guys on the street instead of in the studio made for a good contrast to the old studio interview and the performance footage. I'd pay $20 to own this on DVD to be able to show students, especially since Jackie won't be around forever. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 1. Did ANYONE tape this? Sounds like a great show! 2. Jackie actually wrote a theme song that was used for this show for a while in the early seventies. It was even copyrighted, but not issued (that I know of). Did they play his theme in this episode? Gil Noble was in the audience when Jackie played at the Iridium on 5/28/04. During Bobby or Grachan's solo, Jackie got off the stage and went over and gave Gil a big hug. Bertrand.

bertrand Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 (edited) To follow up on what Mike posted, there is also some great footage of Jackie teaching in the Jackie McLean on Mars video. Fascinating stuff - he gets into a heated debate with his students concerning the relative merits of Hot Dog vs. Sun Ra. He also says at the beginning that Dewey Redman taught him an exercise to strengthen his embouchure. Bertrand.

7/4 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Since Sunday, I found out Comcast added some more chanells to my cable. One on them is ABC+. Like It Is in on at 9pm every night (at least every weeknight). I'll keep an eye on it folks! I'm hoping to see a re-run I can tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
