Fun, great and sad.

Thanks for the link.

Thanks, Lonson, for posting that wonderful (for me) nostalgia trip. Teo was a breath of fresh air in my days at Columbia and I had nothing but admiration for him--that admiration is now heightened by his frankness in this documentary. BTW, his secretary was Dave Chertok's wife, and his office adjoined John Hammond's--but the two men were as different as day and night.

Enjoyed the clip. Wonder if Teo edited the film?

Interesting. I wonder how Miles felt about Teo negotiating his gig as Miles!

[Christiern]

One of the audio engineers at Columbia called Teo and had him fooled with a Miles imitation. BTW, Bob Weinstock did a pretty good Miles imitation, too.

That was GREAT!

I remember seeing that footage of Monk in the Straight, No Chaser film.

Teo...ain't no slouch.

If CD Baby is still offering all the stuff he put out on his own label, I recommend y'all check it out. There's some pretty darn good stuff there that kinda comes out of nowhere.

Hey! Thanks!

While Teo's contribution to jazz is secure ( notwithstanding occasional misgivings over the judiciousness of some of his editing ) , I feel he could have made quite a contribution to the music as an instrumentalist had he stayed on that path . He had an original conception on the tenor , tonally , harmonically and dynamically . At times his tone combined with his lyricism to give his lines an ethereal , diaphanous quality . I count him among those who , while rooted in Prez , managed to speak with an original voice .

I myself see him as coming very firmly out of Warne Marsh, but no shame there.

I still suggest perusing these titles: http://cdbaby.com/found?allsearch=%22teo+m...p;submit=search A discographical mess, they are, and packaging is...casual. But there's some very good stuff in there.

Can you narrow that list any for us, Jim?

Or at least, which one's do you have, and can you describe them (as only you can)??

Many thanks in advance!!
