    Greetings all. Again, my sincere thanks for all your support with this book. It has been a fascinating month, now that it is out and (very gradually) reaching readers. If I you have read and enjoyed or otherwise felt rewarded by your experience with the book, may I request that you please consider posting a rating or even a review at Goodreads and / or Amazon? Problematic institutions both, but they each do take feedback seriously, and it does help in raising the CREPUSCULE W/ NELLIE's profile. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22886178-crepuscule-w-nellie http://www.amazon.com/Crepuscule-Nellie-RECURRENT-Joe-Milazzo/dp/1937543609/ Again, many thanks; best, JM

    Sad news. A player of real lyricism and power. His Muse dates are sadly MIA. Of the Steeplechases, another vote for the duets with Johnny Dyani. SUITE FOR CHOCOLATE, a quartet with Khan Jamal, is also quite fine.
  5. Joe
    :tup :tup for ANTIQUITY (the aforementioned duet with Michael Carvin).

    Happy to see so much love for JACKIE'S PAL here. And, Late, totally agreed... I'd love to hear more of Jackie playing tenor.
  7. Joe
    Another; among my favorite JM sideman appearances...

    That's an interesting record that kind of serves as a counter-argument to the notion that all Prestige dates were slapdash affairs... clearly a great deal of thought was put into this album, the mood of which is almost unrelentingly bleak. My personal favorite is the quintet date with Bill Hardman (JACKIE'S PAL), followed by the Waldron quartets that were spread out over several LPs.
  9. Joe
    I'm also a huge fan of the quintet date with KD and the Clark / Warren / Higgins rhythm section that was originally issued as part of HIPNOSIS 2-LP set.

    Looking forward to reading this. A musician of rare ability.

    The Pettinger biography says NKC was perhaps Evans' most significant influence. Voicings?
  14. Joe
    ... The question is: who was the missing link between BP and BE? Andy LaVerne has postulated that it was Sonny Clark. NYC's No Lark. Clark and Evans both owe something to Tristano, too... and maybe Al Haig. Though, yeah, Bud's influence is sure pervasive (though nobody, to my ears, could ever play with quite his pulse.)
  15. Joe
    Don Friedman... often described as Evans-inspired, and, sure, there's some of that there (not dat dere), though Friedman was basically a contemporary of Evans and not a follower per se... and they did work with some of the same "sidemen" (Chuck Israels)... but, most days, I'd rather put on a Friedman record than one of Evans'... Had Evans embraced some of the more expressionistic and experimental notions inherent in his approach, he might have gone where Friedman went. Glad to have both, of course, as Romanticism is no monolith. But if you are looking for the approximate feel you get from Evans + PJJ or Evans in George Russell's small groups, or Evans without his slump / slouch, may I suggest some Don Friedman?
  16. Joe
    I prefer to think of Evans as a chameleon rather than an Icon. Leadership may have been one of the worst things to happen to him personally (not professionally). Consequently, I find myself turning more often to Evans' recordings with "non-regulars": Shelly Manne, Jack Dejohnette (Montreux), the Marsh-Konitz reunion for Fantasy, the record with Harold Land and Kenny Burrell...

    For any and all DFW / North Central Texas folk here... Launch Party (Reading & Book Signing), Crepuscule W/ Nellie by Joe Milazzo / November 13, 7 PM @ The Wild Detectives Deets: http://www.artandseek.org/event.php?id=60374 Thanks thanks thanks, JM

    It makes a hell of a lot of sense to me. Miles, I mean, not this Zapruder business. Paula Bosse, who runs the Flashback Dallas website, is an old family friend (her dad was Dick Bosse of the The Aldredge Bookstore, a rather legendary character in the world of rare / antiquarian book dealers). Paula knows her stuff.

    Not easy to find, but worth tracking down... The CD adds bonus tracks. There's also some ass-kikcing-and-taking-names to be heard on these Dex sessions:

    Again, my thanks to everyone who has ordered or will be ordering a copy of this book. I am happy to answer any questions any reader may have. In fact, if there's sufficient interest in some sort of formal Q & A or book club-type discussion, do let me know; I'd be more than willing to participate. Best, JM

    I wish him all the happiness in the world. Lord knows he's given me more happiness with his music than I can ever exhaust.

    How has this record STILL not been reissued?
  23. Joe
    Thanks. Vis-a-vis "novels about real people that are clearly novels," this book provided some encouragement, if not direct inspiration. http://www.amazon.com/Ingrid-Caven-Novel-Jean-Jacques-Schuhl/dp/0872864278/ I am hoping to have reviews to share with you all soon.

    William Roper. He's recorded several recitals of solo tuba, but my favorite of the work I've heard from him is to be found on a cooperative release, DOUBLE YELLOW. Rob Blakeslee, Michael Vlatkovich, Brad Dutz. http://www.thankyourecords.com/catalog-2.html Giancarlo Schiaffini's TUBA LIBRE on Random Acoustics is highly recommended. Finally, Don Butterfield...
