Larry Kart Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Wallace Stevens reflecting upon Bird's "Klactoveedsedstene" solo in his "An Ordinary Evening in New Haven": The less legible meanings of sounds, the little reds Not often realized, the lighter words In the heavy drum of speech, the inner men Behind the outer shields, the sheets of music In the strokes of thunder, dead candles at the window When day comes, fire-foams in the motions of the sea, Flickings from finikin to fine finikin And the general fidget from busts of Constantine To photographs of the late president, Mr. Blank, These are the edgings and inchings of final form, The swanning activities of the formulae Of statement, directly and indirectly getting at, Like an evening evoking the spectrum of violet, A philosopher practicing scales on his piano, A woman writing a note and tearing it up. It is not in the premise that reality Is a solid. It may be a shade that traverses A dust, a force that traverses a shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Stevens obviously never had car trouble in the desert. That seems to have been Frank O'Hara's verdict in his "Biotherm": ...JOUR DE FETE 'jai compose mon "Glorification" hommage au poete Americain lyrique et profond, Wallace Stevens but one of your American tourists told me he was a banker quel delices I would like tell you what I think of bankers but . . . except W.C. Fields What do you want from a bank but love ouch but I don't get any love from Wallace Stevens no I don't I think delices is a lot of horseshit and that comes from one who infinitely prefers bullshit and the bank rolled on and Stevens strolled on an ordinary evening alone with a lot of people...

fasstrack Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 The right thing to do.. It certainly is. I wish I knew about this earlier. Chuck was my hero and teacher in my earliest 20s. After Carl Barry-also a great player and sweetheart and still active-my teacher in my teens, kept raving about Chuck I had to hear for myself. I went to Sweet Basil and, like scores of other guitarists, became a believer. I travelled to S.I. for lessons. He was quite a character, and so into the guitar his house was in neglect: a broken front window wasn't fixed for at least a year. He was the first completely dedicated artist I'd seen in music and I was quite taken. He was convinced his approach to the gtr. was the only one, and very perplexed as to why every player didn't embrace it. He was also very bitter when we met, and a boozer. He treated me aces. I knew I was growing up when Chuck let me sit in at Gregory's in '84. And eventually he and Diane found Jesus-and I found Jimmy Raney...

fasstrack Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Ran out of space there. Back then I decided I didn't want to devote my musical life to the guitar exclusively on that level: Chuck was a scientist and pioneer on guitar, and I wanted to play (and write), not spend 8 hrs./day on scale/arpeggio fingerings and picking. I figure I'd let the music lead-and so it did. Jimmy and Eddie Diehl became my final main models, and no one turned me around from them and the other masters of that generation. But Chuck was one of the all-time greats, I know that for sure. He worked on a series of instruction books-the School of Chuck Wayne-in his final years. I have to crack those. The one problem I have (I guess I sensed it then) is that rhythmic articulation, control, swing are hard when you pick in one direction. You do get a legato attack though, and avoid the 'country' up-and-down picking that messes up and stiffens a lot of gtrsts' feels. I have many fond memories of hanging out w/Chuck and him generously going out of his way dropping me off in Bklyn 3 AM after Gregory'.

fasstrack Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 That's NOTHING!! On the other side you put a quarter in the slot and a medley of Blue in Green, Flamenco Sketches, Eronel, and In a Silent Way plays. Chuck Wayne is on dobro. He wasn't paid for that neither.
