umum_cypher Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Has anyone seen Parker's new book of 'political thoughts, musicological essays and poems'? Who Owns Music?

AllenLowe Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I would question the definitive characterization of Bolden's music as "dirty" - possible, but who knows - Louis Armstrong, for example, said that Miles Davis's playing reminded him of Bolden - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(A question Buddy's Knife might ask themselves is 'who owns the copyright to some of the photos that we are using on our site?') I have the book as well as their new one by Henry Grimes. I have a handful of images in the Grimes book which I did grant permission to use. I have nothing in the Parker book. I've had many conversations with the publishers as well with no issues. m~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(A question Buddy's Knife might ask themselves is 'who owns the copyright to some of the photos that we are using on our site?') So a photographer has to buy the book to see if they have been "violated"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umum_cypher Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Well, that was a secondary question. I have no reason to suspect they use images in their books without permission, but there's an animated gif on that page up there with some Frank Wolff and Val Wimer (and others') images that caught my attention, that's all.

umum_cypher Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 So what's the book itself like, Sheldonm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonm Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 So what's the book itself like, Sheldonm? Henry's is a book of poetry reflecting on his thoughts over a long period of time including the time he was off the music scene. It was supposed to include some of his drawings as well but for some reason they were not included. I am not a poet....and I know it.......... but as I've had a chance to spend a little time with Henry over the past couple years, I think it's quite interesting. I did not pick up the Parker book but the publisher sent me a copy even thought I did not contribute to it. I have not read this one yet...only paged through it a bit but it appears to be interesting as it's William's take on music, the players, the industry and so on. Hope to read it in the next week. m~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 I think I'd like to get both of these as I'm a fan of both Grimes and Parker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazaro Vega Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I would question the definitive characterization of Bolden's music as "dirty" - possible, but who knows - Louis Armstrong, for example, said that Miles Davis's playing reminded him of Bolden - I think the connotation of "dirty" as it is used here is not so much "sexual," though that's part of it, but more how "dirty" is to "jazz" what "legit" is to "classical." Dirty meaning not taking the notes on the page literally, adding "rude" sounds (as a friend's put it) and not playing "strict" time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) yes, I understand that - however, there is a real N.O. tradition of sweet,melodic playing, a whole different aesthetic from the gutbucket sound (see Pops Foster's bio for some discussion of this). I'm thinking of the way that Bunk Johnson sounded on his comeback, also about Kid Ory's 1921 recordings; so I was struck by Armstrong's comment, because Miles was, of course, such a lyrical player - so I question the assumption about Bolden's playing.
