clifford_thornton Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Contractual issues, I would assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertoart Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Yep, more than likely. This Don Patterson album, features my favourite guitarist 'Blue Grant', What nom de plume did Mr. Jackie use anyway. Was it funny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I used to work with a young lady whose name was Ferris (her surname). We all used to call her Ferret. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Benda on the front cover, Bender, on the back cover personnel listings and liner notes. Nat Hentoff's liners call it a nom-de-circumstance. Damn neolojisms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn neolojisms. Ah, okay, I just have the CD which lists him as Jackie McLean. I picked up the Vik LP years (decades, actually...damn!) ago in Albuquerque, for some absurdly low price. Kinda took me aback, because I was completely unaware of the album then, and thought that Vik was more a or less a "budget" label, the RCA equivalent of Epic. So I figured that Ferris Benda/Bender was just some one-off junkie who passed through the Messengers for a day or two. Got home, put the record on, and WHOA, HEY, I know who THAT is! Quite the :g :g moment, that was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 It's an excellent record. I have a Steve Lacy on VIK Italy, Disposability... though it may have been a budget LP when it came out in 1965, it sure isn't one now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
