when i found it i was actually searching for jimi hendrix bootlegs, lol- whats up w/ Tyronne Washington, is he alive??

[JSngry]

Last I heard (from Heiner Stadler, a few years ago), Tyrone had left music as a profession and dedicated his life to his religion. As far as Heiner knew, he was still alive, although that was "as far as he knew".

[clifford_thornton]

I really like Scotty Holt with Noah Howard and with Jackie McLean. Wonder whatever happened to him?

[Rooster_Ties]

Would LOVE to hear anything by this band.

Tryone and Woody, how can you go wrong!!

[marcello]

I used to have this one back in the day.

It was horrible!

Well look here, I found this on YouTube.

Judge for yourself...

You know, I've never heard that record. The selection posted here isn't bad at all, better than I expected anyway.

[marcello]

Not my thing Cliff. Let me see if I still have it in my vinyl racks....Nope!

It went to that great LP trade in the sky.

Not normally mine, either. Funny how those things go innit?

Tyrone Washington - Roots

If that's the best on the album then I could probably do without it.

[JSngry]

I like Roots (especially the Stevie Wonder cover), as well as Do Right. Flawed, sure, (in no ways fatally, though) but how do you tell the Tyrone Washington Story without them? The guy seemed to be intensely sincere about bringing his message to the masses, and his apparent naivete about how uncommercial his attempts at "commercialism" were just add to the weight of the tale. If the Cosmic Brotherhood scene was "underground", hell, this stuff was Uber-Underground. But just listen to Tyrone's singing on Do Right - the cat's on a freakin' Mission From God and will not entertain doubt.

And then he "vanished". That's part of the story too, the payoff, really. But you don't get there from Natural Essence & Brilliant Circles. There's a few more stops along the way.

(aside - don't you love the way that You Tube's turning into a jukebox? I'm seeing more and more of the video-less music videos there...)

[Bluerein]

Do Right is still available in Japan on CD. Ask Mr. Tanno or Do it Right yourself!!!!!: http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/1408590

tyronne with art blakey is sick/

and that youtube song is good!

[Rooster_Ties]

Roots is da bomb. I'd pay triple-scale for a legit CD of that puppy, in a heartbeat.

Do Right is just plain freaky. But Sangrey is right - it's a key piece of the Tyrone Washington puzzle.

Dyin' to hear The Trainwreck, and I had no idea that any of the Blakey/Shaw/Washington JM dates had ever been recorded (in any fashion). Would abolutely love to hear that group someday. Absolutely. Totally. Tyrone Washington, live!! The very thought sends chills down my spine.

There's gotta be a tree or Dimeadozen somewhere that you could procure this, Rooster.

[Soul Stream]

Man that cut from YouTube from Roots is some plain Badassedness. Dig it...gotta get it.

[Rooster_Ties]

Anybody (else) heard the Blakey date with Woody and Tyrone???

 I just had a chance to hear this tape.  I suspect that it is Carlos Garnett on tenor, not Tyrone Washington.

That makes more sense.

I vaguely remember hearing this too — years after this thread — and also decided it sounded more like Garnett too. Or at least it definitely didn’t sound like Tyrone.

[bertrand]

Wait - it might be Tyrone after all who would have been in the band briefly. The 3/29/69 Downbeat issue (page 15) might clear it up. Rooster, do you have it? This is from Mike Fitzgerald's Blakey chronology which I cannot seem to paste the link to from my phone, check jazzmf.com

Does anyone have a copy of the tape? What is the unidentified tune?

you mean 3/20/69 p.15, right? That I have, there's no information about the lineup on that page 

btw, here's the link to Michael Fitzgerald's page

Yes, 3/20, dumb typo.

I wonder how Tyrone's name got in the mix. I am also curious as to what the Untitled piece is.
