Don’t have that particular one but that was a great series. My favourites - Mingus, Hubbard and Kirk.

"The Dixie Sound of Jack Teagarden" Roulette stereo LP. I like this so much that I'd like to have a mono copy. My stereo is a little noisy but once the music kicks in who cares!

Lovely duets.

David Newman and James Clay, The Sound of the Wide Open Spaces (Riverside)

The Definitive Jazz Scene, volume 2 (Impulse)

[JSngry]

Man, this is interesting music that I feel I could never get inside of, no matter how hard I tried. I think I'd want to, too, But unless my brain rewires at some point, it's always going to be the "look at" type love, not the "get in" type.

Still, love of any sort is as welcome as it is necessary,

The Sound of Wide Open Spaces is a nice album, but do locals in Dallas still play in that distinctive Texas Tenor style or have they become just like everyone else?

Can you be more specific as to whom you're asking about? Dallas is no longer an isolated pocket of native tongues...not that it ever was...Houston had a say in the languages as well, as did...ah. never mind?

I guess what you really want to find out is if Dallas' African-American tenor players still have that "accent" in their playing, and the answer is, well, a few do, a few more try to, and just as many think they might, and some just don't care about that, they're hustling for the same gigs everybody else is.

It's a different world everywhere these days.

Thanks, kinda what I suspected but good to  hear from someone on the scene.

[JSngry]

To be fair, I haven't really been "on the scene" here for  years now, but I hear things, and...let's just say..

True everywhere, though.

Well, there isn't exactly a booming jazz scene here. But I would say that the two best tenor saxophonists in the area that I'm familiar with are Rachella Parks Washington (in Fort Worth) and Shelley Carrol (in Dallas), and both sound like Texas tenors to me (especially Rachella).

Gene Krupa, Sing Sing Sing (Clef)

You might come for the Al Cohn, but don't be surprised if you come back for the David Tudor.

Al Cohn's on it?  what the hell?
