How do you pronounce.........

[jazztrain]

I've always heard it as Nor-DEEN.

Ken Nordine's last name? Nor-DEEN or Nor-DINE?

[Chuck Nessa]

Correct.

[king ubu]

Ken Nordine's last name? Nor-DEEN or Nor-DINE?

How about Turrentine? -EEN or -INE?

[BillF]

I've always heard it as -INE

[Lazaro Vega]

The New Orleans tenor player Derek Douget. Do-j-aa or Dug-it ?

[BillF]

The New Orleans tenor player Derek Douget. Do-j-aa or Dug-it ?

In France it would be "doo-zhyay", but there's no knowing!

[Lazaro Vega]

I've been saying "doo-zhyay"...thanks for the correction to my phonetics.

The name of pianist Hotep Idris Galeta?

No, because there's no such person. Stop makin' stuff up!

South African pianist who is not made up. Great name, too. I'd say it just how it looks - Ho' tepp Ee-driss Gah-leh-tah.

That's the way I've always pronounced it. No clue as to whether we're "right" though. He's a marvelous player and - as the old cliché goes - should be better-known.

[bertrand]

Hotep Idris Galeta is the same person who recorded with Bobby Hutcherson as Hotep Cecil Bernard, or so I believe.

Bertrand.

[BillF]

Surname of Tony Fruscella: is the "c" pronounced like a "k" and not like an "s" or "ch"?

[jazztrain]

Frew shell' a

[BillF]

Frew shell' a

Thanks!

[jazztrain]

Come to think of it, I've also heard it pronounced with a shorter u sound in the first syllable. The c is silent.

Frew shell' a

or

Frah shell' a

Thanks, Chuck! I'd been putting the accent on the wrong syllable.

Akosh Szelevenyi?

[jazztrain]

Patti Bown?

Does it sound like "bone" or like "brown" (without the "r")?

I've always said "bone" but have never been sure.

[brownie]

When I met her (when she was in town with the Quincy Jones Orchestra) her name was pronounced as in 'bone'.
