thank you for not accusing me of ulterior motives; which sometimes happens here. I do realize that mine is a distinctly minority opini9on.

well....never been a fan of his work in general, except for the solos with Miles, some of which are incredible. As a composer, I never quite understood his appeal; always sounds monochromatic to me.

now you've got me in suspense because I have Medjuck on ignore. What did he say? If it's about the King Oliver reissue yes, major news.

just sent -

can you give us more info? Where recorded, sound quality? Thanks - but wth, I will take all five -

Google is an amazing thing; found this United States v. Opinion CRIMINAL ACTION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. JUDGE S. MAURICE HICKS, JR. MAGISTRATE JUDGE HORNSBY MEMORANDUM RULING Before the Court is Petitioner Motion for Compassionate Release (Record Document 781). The Government has opposed motion.

I find contemporary bluegrass to be mechanical and repetitive - too many of the same old patterns. When I want to listen to bluegrass it's almost always from the 1940s and 1950s, when it still had an edge. And I love the original Bill Monroe recordings from around 1940, which to me are the country equivalent of Bird's early records.

the first jazz concert that I ever went to, maybe 1969, was in the Sculpture Garden at MOMA. James Moody - it was basically Dizzy's band without Dizzy, with Mike Longo, Candy Finch IIRC.

Yes, sorry, I should have mentioned that. But people can pre-order from me at a significant discount. And I will also put it on Band camp. Aaron did record at least one session as a leader but I am not sure if it came out. I will see if I can ask him. His playing, which was always great, has reached new levels of brilliance.

We will have the 2 volume set called Louis Armstrong's America out by mid or end of August. 4 cds total, with Ursula Oppens, Ray Anderson, Marc Ribot, Andy Stein, Kresten Osgood, Ray Suhy, Lewis Porter, Aaron Johnson among many others. All originals based on various styles that were parallel to Armstrong's life. It may not be what you fans of free jazz expect but, as I called it once before, it is "an avant garde of our own." Plenty of open improvisation. If you need a reference, Larry Gushee told me, years back, that I had "reinvented free jazz." And as Anthony Braxton said "Allen Lowe IS the tradition and one of the few people doing any new in jazz." Contact me if interested. And I should add that on this Aaron Johnson proves himself to be the best clarinetist in jazz. Bar none. Some samples coming soon.

thanks, it's also important to note that diabetes diagnosis and treatment was extremely primitive back then, another reason to believe that the treatment was not some racist aberration. But as they say about printing the legend.....

the cough part was the worst thing about it when I had it a year and a half ago. You probably have done this but I found that a cough suppressant was extremely helpful, like Robitussin.

but there are no "first hand" accounts that I am aware of; or if there are, I would love to see them.

The story as it is told is that when Eric Dolphy collapsed in a diabetic coma the doctors made the racist assumption that he was a junkie and so missed the correct treatment, which led to his death. But I have some questions - there have been reports by Dolphy's friends that he ignored diabetic symptoms for quite a while; and that he had a weird lump on his forehead (which can be seen in photos) that was related to this and which he also ignored. So - my question - was Dolphy a diagnosed diabetic when he died? Was he aware of it and was he treating it? If not, how would anyone have known, when he collapsed, that this was his condition? And do we have any documentation of what happened when he collapsed, what the treatment was and what the doctors diagnosed? I ask all of this because too often legends become truth, which is a problem for me; because without knowing any of the above we should not make historical pronouncements or judgements.

you are bringing up a topic which explains one of the reasons I left the library profession - they have become too circulation dependent and more and more have stopped ordering more marginal - ie, interesting - material. To me their mission is the opposite; as I argued when I last worked in a public library, "no one will take them out if they are nor here." There are ways to boost circulation of more obscure but worthy material. Libraries are not business; they serve the public in a much different way (unless you live in Florida).

I have a library degree, and when I was working in a library I would have welcomed such advice and assistance. Why not? He is absolutely correct. And trust me, from having worked in a few public and college libraries I would not assume the staff had any idea about much other than the works that circulate most frequently, like best sellers and self help books.

Interesting; when that song came out we used to sing "I, am hooked on the ceiling."

who are you? Can you id yourself? Sorry Tad, didn't realize that was you. It's not that exciting but I have one unknown Prestige anecdote that involves Weinstock, Miles, and Dave Schildkraut

that I don't remember, but it's been a long time since I listened to it.

You should mention that, IIRC, the pianist on that is Hampton Hawes.

I think that's....well, misguided. That was about the year I met Julius Hemphill, who was doing spectacular work. And there were many others.

Not completely overlooked - I wrote about the Octet in Devilin' Tune and included a cut on the collection. Also, and my eyes are a mess today, but does he mention in that whole release that there is an actual CD of the original group (I think it was an OJC)?

A few years old but with very little use. Very accurate speakers (which he describes in some of his literature as monitors). Sound great and clear. $200 plus shipping in the USA (TBD by location; I ship Fedex Ground) my paypal is allenlowe5@gmai..com other side:

yeah, sorry, I missed the post-War requirement.
