Can song lyrics ever be literature?
danasgoodstuff replied to gvopedz's topic in Miscellaneous Music
They are always literature IMHO. Not always great or even good literature, but that's an entirely different question. I don't think of them as poetry or prose, they're lyrics, their own kind of literature. -
Since I was having technical difficulties, Felser kindly offered to help me get a track posted. So, I sent them a list to pick from: Fish Scale (youtube.com) David Grisman Quintet, Fish Scale All The Way (youtube.com) King Curtis, All the Way The Wind Cries Mary (youtube.com) Geri Allen & the Batson Brothers, The Wind Cries Mary from 3 Pianos For Jimi I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good) (youtube.com) Red Garland, I Got It Bad from Red Alone J. Zorn, B. Frisell, G. Lewis - 11. Ole (More News For Lulu, 1992) (youtube.com) and they picked the Geri Allen track as one they could do. It happened to be the most recent one (1998). The three pianos don't necessarily all play at once all the time. This is not necessarily my favorite track, but the others I liked were longer. I'm glad people liked it. I've been aware of Ms. Allen's work since near the start of her career, although I didn't always follow it as closely as I might have. Her early demise was a great loss. I don't know much else about the Batson Brothers besides their work here.

I don't think either of those would be a legit use of de-mixing, they meant to do that whether you like it or not. Just as taking the electric saw off that one track on Lee Morgan's last album was bogus, regardless of how you feel about musical saws. However, it would be legit to take the screaming idiot in the audience off of Elvis C at the Elmo.

Glad you liked it, I hoped it would be a pleasant surprise for some.

Thought it might take longer for folks to get my selection, but I'm glad you liked it. I've been listening to Geri playing Jimi and her trib to her hometown, Grand River Crossing a bunch recently. Such a loss.

I thought I had replied but I probably forgot to hit send again, anyway that is the version of Django I was thinking of. Quite wondrous to me.

Off The Wall Song Quotes Heard On Recordings
danasgoodstuff replied to Ken Dryden's topic in Miscellaneous Music
I think it was Johnny Griffin playing live with monk at the 5 Spot, a good chunk of blue tailed Fly to start his solo. Clapton on Sunshine of your love starts his with Blue Moon. Hendrix on Wild Thing at Monterey, Strangers In the Night. Eric and Jimi didn't usually do that sort of thing, Johnny often did but maybe not as often as Dexter. -
I saw Sonny maybe 5-7 times, from the '70s on. OR, MN, & SK. Can stumble my way through a few of the tunes on sax. Have transcriptions of some solos but generally don't bother. Favorites include: Friday the 13th session with Monk Oleo/Doxy etc. 4 song 10" session with Miles Dizzy G session with Sonny Stitt Colossus any and all with Clifford Night @ the VV Freedom Suite (the suite itself) Way Out West various boots from the late '50s just before he went on hiatus The Bridge (and the stray tracks with Jim Hall after) Django as if he were Ayler theme from Alfie as a tune, not so much the ST performances, great fun to play Next album Live in Japan "To a Wild Rose" @ Montreux 3 tracks on the Stones Tattoo You, esp'ly Waiting For a Friend G Man +3 Parts of the various Road Show albums
