Was about to add, having listened to three hours of Clark Terry on WKCR this afternoon, CT hasn't been a 'punk' since 1940... tho' he's pretty nice here as a middle-aged duffer-- not to forget--

I actually would be curious to know what Sonny thought of this-- "J. Litweiler" opined-- http://jazztimes.com/articles/13458-freedom-suite-david-s-ware-quartet also this, which is remarkable on # of levels not least Leonard Cohen, who had to be thrilled, keeping it intensely cool-- To suggest Motian, Lovano etc exist on the same plane of achievement as Leonard Cohen-- let alone Sonny-- is sheer delusion or parochialism btw.

hank ballard told him so... but do him listen?

x1000. what on Earth, Saturn or any other celestial body do any of them have to offer Sonny Rollins except, at best, diversion? Hey, Joe Lovano, where you get them hats? Jimmy Heath a somewhat different situation and, one can argue, the very best of Frisell also tho' his, in recent decades, frequent-- and frequently banal-- worst does not make one inclined to charity. One movement of any Mahler symphony, for example >>>>>> than all those guys combined, likewise one bird song, likewise whatever ambient sounds comprise Sonny's next performance of Cage 4'33.

he ain't like no saint nick... he tried to find religion...

oh that's very (in)famous Hardbop, surprised that hadn't crossed your path earlier... i do not, btw, believe Dean &/or Jerry were 'drunk', this is something else

I'd say the string concertos are somewhat predictive but not representative of AP, who definitely evolves. The symphony is his primary meat and though his fans quibble, I'd say from Symphony 5 through 11 are 'most' representative (12 is choral symphony, see above). You can snag cheap single issues from the CPO series on Amazon btw, any/all are recommended. Christian Lindberg on BIS is great, however. This is symphony 9 cond. Alun Francis from CPO cycle (which like the BIS is mixed conductors/orchestras)--

Clarke is an excellent pianist; his recording of Ronald Stevenson "Passacaglia on DSCH" esp. though the bland Marco Polo cover doesn't exactly suggest that... too bad it's not been re-issued on Naxos, likely more people would know about it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000460N

Duh. Rite had been published. Are we saying he could neither read music nor leave Sweden to hear it? And re. the difference between substance (Ligeti) and sound-effect (AP) - give me strength. Like all those reviewers in the Wire who think any example of grungy electronica is Stockhausen. So from Moms in the last few weeks we have had Pettersson yes Boulez no. Hm. uh... reading comprehension? i don't know Leif Aare but the implication is NOT that Pettersson didn't know Stravinsky 'Sacre' but rather that the musical conservatism of Sweden then excluded 'Sacre'-- which seems surprising but I'm not Swedish-- and thus it's instructive example of Pettersson's individualism that he'd pursue that line knowing the cold reception likely awaiting. re: Pettersson v. Ligeti, we await your more informed comparison of the scores? FWIW, Aare literally wrote the book on Pettersson-- https://openlibrary.org/works/OL2574845W/Allan_Pettersson Swedish Wiki sez (caveat lector)-- http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leif_Aare which doesn't mean Aare's correct, let alone infallible & he likely has a rooting interest but... ... who else would even bother? Sym 12 with chorus, texts fron Neruda, choral director above Anders Eby is revered by an informed coterie for his superb recording of JSB Massa H-moll http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004UUGY

all good choices! "The House I Live In" screenwriter Albert Maltz (having suffered because of another, far less respectable House) came back two plus decades later with "Two Mules For Sister Sara," some pretty good music (to an excellent movie, praise be Don Siegel) there also-- can't forget this either though I can, ah, imagine a different arrangement-- thought occurs now to check a Frank gigography or the like, curious how long he kept "The House I Live In" in the stage act.

Frank, once at least half-mensch, sings Earl, also, father of Perry Screenwriter Albert Maltz will return

Before I clicked the link, I thought to myself, "I hope Paul recommended the 'right' JLH CD." He did, of course - that's the one to have. on Krazy Kat, double lp vinyl has about a side more tracks than the otherwise fine CD. http://www.amazon.com/Boogie-Awhile-John-Lee-Hooker/dp/B00000DUWP the set recorded by Gene Deitch Detroit '49 >>>>> all Bill Evans trio recordings combined, Philly Joe included. http://www.amazon.com/Jack-O-Diamonds-1949-Recordings/dp/B0001Z36EG

an important question & evidence, if more was needed, how generally deleterious Evans' career was that the best-- the correct-- answer hasn't already been offered. Re: Evans, the George Russell sides are best, a few others OK, the rest one, two and three are much better listening to Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, numerous non-Russians, NEVER fucking Jarrett, tho' admittedly Hampton Hawes did rip Keith off on that gospel album for Contemporary I'm forgetting the title of.
