      Anthony Braxton and the influence of Eric Dolphy

      By Rabshakeh · Posted

      I am not sure whether I am the only person to hear it. I have read a lot about the influence of Marsh and Konitz on Braxton's soloing style, but I am an not sure I have read about any influence of Dolphy.  To me, it seems quite a clear link between Dolphy's interval hopping and Braxton. This is particularly strong (to my dumb ears) when he is playing other people's tunes.  I'm interested whether other forum members are of a similar view. Maybe I am wrong (I am not a musician, or particularly knowledgeable). Perhaps he has acknowledged Dolphy or discussed the link and I have just missed it.

      Return Of The Film Corner Thread

      The pacing is precisely one of the things that makes the film a masterpiece.  How else do you convey the incomprehensible vastness of space and time?   I feel bad for the students.  I consider 2001 to be hands-down the greatest outer space film ever made. The biggest anachronism occurs during the scene where the mods crash the house party.  Jimmy goes over to the record player, and we see the cover art for the US MCA 70s twofer reissue LP of The Who Sell Out and A Quick One.  What the album was doing there is anyone's guess.

      I think 2001 always moved slowly, whether you are raised in a culture of CGI Marvel battles or raised in a culture of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The first two acts of that film really are provocatively slow.

      A friend tried showing that one to students in a class, and they were bored to death. I guess it just moves too slowly for people raised in a video culture of quick cuts.

      Sergio Mendes RIP

      By sgcim · Posted

      Yeah, this guy was off the wall. We were playing a one day cruise on the west side of Manhattan, and I told him I didn't like his use of a maj6th chord on the bridge of September Song. He said, "Oh, you didn't like that change, huh, let's see how you like this.." And he knee-dropped my poor little Roland Cube amp so it rolled over, right to the edge of the deck of the boat. Then,when I yelled at him for almost sending my defenseless Cube into the Hudson River, he said, "Come on, I'll send you overboard, too!" My amp seemed alright, so I just let it go. He looked like Charles Manson, so he used to get picked up by the cops for just looking dangerous. He was voted by his high school as "Most Likely To Become a Serial Killer" I saw his obit online a number of years back. He died when he was only 36.
