Teasing the Korean Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Alice Coltrane - Lord of Lords - ABC Impulse! While John may be the improvisational virtuoso genius, I'm beginning to think that Alice was at least as good of a record-maker as John, possibly better. Apologies to John Coltrane fans (including myself, who owns and loves dozens of his albums). Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Get a grip man! I'm always flattered that my posts seem to evoke a response from you. I'm beginning to think you like me. Wanna get lucky? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 Don't want to "get lucky" - never have been and it would probably kill me. She was a fine musician, but........................ Quote

Teasing the Korean Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 The Great Les Baxter - Africa Blue - GNP (stereo) I'm just a sucker for records by aging jazz/EZ artists trying to get hip to the sounds of today. So much better than what the kids were doing then. Quote

Teasing the Korean Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 I'm now lost for words. Don't worry Chuck. I like the "good" stuff too. Still hoping to find some Nessa vinyl (sadly I don't have any). Quote

So much better than what the kids were doing then. I'm now lost for words. Chew on these words for a while, Chuck: Les Baxter (March 14, 1922–January 15, 1996) Baxter also wrote the "Whistle" theme from the TV show Lassie. As he once told Soundtrack! magazine, "I never turn anything down!". In the 1960s, he formed the Balladeers, a besuited and conservative folk group that at one time featured a slim and youthful David Crosby. When soundtrack work reduced in the 1980s, he scored music for theme parks and SeaWorlds. Edited May 1, 2008 by marcello Quote

Teasing the Korean Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 That was meant to be ironic, Chuck! Too bad there's not a 'Ironic" emoticon! He is also the only composer who scored films by Ingmar Bergman and Ed Wood! What have you done lately? Quote

Well to answer your question and also add to this thread, I've been listening to a rough mix of a session that I'm involved with for a future cd (sorry, not vinyl) release: Joe Locke plays the Music of Henry Mancini Live at Dizzy's Joe Locke - Vibraphone Geoffrey Keezer - Piano George Mraz - Bass Clarence Penn - Drums Kenny Washington - Vocals ( Kenny is from San Francisco, not the drummer) Some of it will be broadcast on XM Radio as a special soon.

That's sounds good. Any combo with vibes that does Mancini can't be bad. I'm also in a quartet with vibes, and we do some Les Baxter. Quote
