cannonball-addict Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Dawl-fee That depends on what part of the world you are from. I'd say Dahl-fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Jazz Pronunciation Guide I think they're wrong on this one: Airto "eye-air-toe" I remember seeing him live many years ago, and he explained his name by pointing to his 'eye', 'ear' and 'toe'.

king ubu Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Just thought I'd throw this out: Paul Motion... in an interview I read years ago, he said it's not "mo-shun", but "mo-TEE-un". Think I read his say somewhere that it's a Turkish name, thus the "unexpected" pronunciation. Armenian it is, I believe. Of course that could mean his family originates in what is Turkish territory (the genocide committed by the Turks to [?] the Armenian people was the first of many to follow in this century -- end of miniature history lesson).

Actually quite a long one: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=81&st=0 yeah, but this one is more fun as we get to post how WE pronounce it all, the other on is about how it is supposed to be pronounced.
