Late Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Sidran is an anagram for Nardis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Late said: Sidran is an anagram for Nardis. I remember Sidran pointing that out in a broadcast. I also remember his book of interview transcriptions, with Denny Zeitlin spelled Denny Zeitland throughout the hardback edition. I guess he didn't have any time or interest in reading the galley proofs... Edited March 18, 2022 by Ken Dryden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 How have you never heard of Ben Sidran? If you age is around where you've indicated it is...hell if I know. The dude was ubiquitous there for a while Oh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) I knew Ben back in the early '70s, in Madison, where we both lived. Now we are friends on FB. Edited March 18, 2022 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I know him mainly from the early Steve Miller Band albums, but he did a lot beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 IIRC (and I often don't) he was on a Mose Allison tribute record along with Georgie Fame and Van Morrison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Had to google him. But if anyone had played with Diz, with Griffin, with Manhattan Transfer and with the Brecker Brothers ... he must be hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhatta Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) I'm not really familiar with Ben Sidran's oeuvre, but this one is pretty cool...JG's blowing too. 1 hour ago, bertrand said: Are people still hung up on this Nardis thing? The title has nothing to do with Ben Sidran. I don't remember where, but I read somewhere that Sidran asked about Sidran/Nardis to Miles himself and Miles was quite surprised and amused (but obviously it's just a coincidence).

tranemonk Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 How come no one has mentioned his Talking Jazz interviews? That's actually how I learned about him. Loved that series.

That’s how I first became aware of Sidran, back in my college days. Not really sure I’d ever heard his name before that. Come to think, I can’t swear if I’ve even seen one album of his while CD shopping — though I’ve seen a few here and there in the LP bins (but most of my buying focus as always been CD’s, at least since I’d gotten into jazz). Didn’t he close his interview with Miles asking about “Nardis” and his own name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I encountered Ben Sidran first on VH1, back when they kinda/sorta programmed some jazz-dedicated programs(?). Perhaps it was BET instead. He struck me as a pre-Kramer hipster doofus and I am sure it effected my interest in the rest of his oeuvre.
