Fer Urbina Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 does anyone have pics of: 1) Curley Russell 2) Anthony Braxton 3) Andy Shapiro 4) Tommy Potter that they own the rights to and might let me use? For Russell and Potter can't you use Gottlieb's? I understand they're public domain (from February 16th). F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blake Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 There's a guy by the name of Tom Marcello who posted some amazing pics he took over on the Jazzcorner site including several of Braxton. Here's the thread: 52nd Street Jazz Fair - July 6, 1976 and other photos It appears Tom is an active member of this board too… he posted over on the Muntu box thread that some of his photos were used in that release. Muntu 3 disc reissue Tom - If you notice this post, great stuff... I've really enjoyed the photos you've shared! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcello Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Allen, tell me what you need of Braxton and they're yours. There a few more from the same date. I can upload them to a server, if you have one that avilable to you, or I can send them to you via Sendspace. Email me at Email me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 LOVE that pic of Anthony with the paperclip contra. (I've got a soft spot for contrabass clarinet. ) Don't suppose you could share a bigger version with the board, just for my curiousity??

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Never even heard of a contrabass clarinet, much less seen one. What a THING! Thanks Tom. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 In case you need more, I also have some photos of Braxton in 1969. PM if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrdlu Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Never even heard of a contrabass clarinet, much less seen one. What a THING! Thanks Tom. MG Have a look at the other deep woodwind too: contrabass sax, tubax, etc. There is a very good video online of a guy playing a blues on a contrabass sax - he does a fine job with this ridiculous monstrosity, and makes it musical. Unlike the saxes bigger than the baritone, the deep clarinets are quite practical. This is because the clarinet's bottom note is that of a horn of twice the length. Even the regular clarinet's bottom note is D halfway down the bass clef, which is amazing for an instrument only 26" long. The Eb contrabass clarinet, which Michael Cuscuna persists in calling an alto clarinet, is a very practical deep woodwind, apart from its huge price. You can get one that goes down to its low C (concert Eb, a half tone below the bottom note of the bass fiddle), which is plenty low. Frank Foster can be heard playing it on a Duke Pearson date, as well as on an Elvin Jones session, where it was mistaken (at least by me) for the regular Bb bass clarinet when the LP first came out.

Thank you, Shrdlu, very interesting. Of course, those big clarinets don't SOUND like low down saxes, do they? Much woodier, I think.
