Dan Gould Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 As some already know, I had a wonderful opportunity last May to interview pianist Eddie Higgins. Well, the word just came down-Cadence Magazine wants to publish it!!!! No word on publishing date and I bet it will take a while since they only publish monthly and probably have quite a backlog, but watch this space for announcements! Quote
Joe G Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 Very cool Dan! B) We'll be watching! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 Congratulations! I'll have to make sure I pick up a copy of that issue. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 Yeah, good goin' - congrats. Quote
ghost of miles Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 Excellent, Dan! I hang onto a lot of those interviews & will be sure to keep yours w/Higgins once it comes out. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 (edited) Cool!!! Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited November 12, 2003 by Rooster_Ties Quote
Christiern Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 Having congratulated you privately, let me also do so here. Congratulations--let there be more to come. Now, How about Bob Weinstock, while there's still time? Quote
Dan Gould Posted November 12, 2003 Author Report Posted November 12, 2003 Having congratulated you privately, let me also do so here. Congratulations--let there be more to come. Now, How about Bob Weinstock, while there's still time? Well, I asked Roush and he said that Weinstock would be a little out of their scope since they concentrate on musicians not producers, but if he gave a lot of first person stories about artists and sessions, sure. Otherwise, he'd prefer Ira Sullivan, and I'm hoping that my "in" with Higgins can net me an introduction. Of course, no one said that a Weinstock interview has to go to Cadence, so ... Quote
Jazzmoose Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 Congratulations, Dan! Nothing like getting published to boost the ego!! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 Dan, get the Weinstock interview! If Cadence passes, someone else will be interested. If you contact Ira Sullivan feel free to use my name. It may help. If you have difficulty contacting him, I can help with that. Quote
Jim R Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 I asked Roush... Dan, I believe it's "Rusch". Congrats again. Hopefully we can start discussing certain aspects of Eddie's history around here before TOO long... (still keeping my vow of silence) Quote
Dan Gould Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Posted November 13, 2003 Thanks for the offer, Chuck. I'm pretty sure that Eddie will do the introductions, since I think he enjoyed the interview himself and on top of that, I plan to butter him up by offering him my recently acquired copy of one of his very earliest LPs, something Eddie didn't even remember being involved with when he put together his discography.

Joe Christmas Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 Dan, congrats. But a word of caution: don't be surprised if it doesn't run until later next year. Cadence historically has a nasty backlog of material, especially interviews. They have had an interview I conducted with Paul Dunmall since last March. Hillary recently informed me it would be published in the December issue. Fine and well, though some of the text might sound a bit dated this far down the road. Quote
JSngry Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 Congrats, Dan, and keep reelin' 'em in while they're still alive! Quote
bertrand Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 (edited) Dan, Congratulations! If you do interview Bob Weinstock, ask him who the second horn on Mating Call was supposed to be Bertrand. Edited November 13, 2003 by bertrand Quote
brownie Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 Well done, Dan! Will be watching for the Cadence interview. But yes, go after Weinstock. The man seems very, very interesting. Am sure he has hundreds of unheard stories that need to be told. Quote
sheldonm Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 Great job Dan, very cool! I've met Ira many times, I'm sure he would be a great person to interview. He has told me several stories, very interesting guy! Mark Quote
DrJ Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 (edited) Hey, great work Dan! You the man! If you can't interview 'em, nobody can! (Sorry, kind of in a giddy - and rhyming - mood this AM). Seriously, that's outstanding! Edited November 14, 2003 by DrJ Quote
Dan Gould Posted November 18, 2003 Author Report Posted November 18, 2003 Well, you can't win them all, I guess. Just spoke with Eddie, and he said that at first Ira wanted to be paid for an interview, and then he pretty much just shut the discussion down and said "NO". Oh well ... I bet Weinstock's a more interesting interview anyway. Quote
