jazztrain Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks Brownie! When I met her (when she was in town with the Quincy Jones Orchestra) her name was pronounced as in 'bone'. Quote

ghost of miles Posted November 17, 2010 Report Posted November 17, 2010 How do you pronounce David van Kriedt's last name? (Member of the late-1940s Brubeck octet.) Quote
Claude Posted November 17, 2010 Report Posted November 17, 2010 If it's a name of dutch origin, I would say "creet", but of course the usual pronunciation in the US could be very different. Quote
jazztrain Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 How do you pronounce Joachim Mencel? Quote
Afric Pepperbird Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 I know the "Terje" part, but what about the "Rypdal" part? (sorry, too lazy to search all 11 pages of this thread to see if it's aforementioned.) Quote

Afric Pepperbird Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Lol Coxhill (First and last. I'd assume the first as in "Jelly Lol Morton", but I may be wrong) Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Harry Miller? I'm serious... would it be pronounced like an 'ummerican or in a Dutch/ZA fashion? Quote
Pete C Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Harry Miller? I'm serious... would it be pronounced like an 'ummerican or in a Dutch/ZA fashion? It's pronounced Harry Miller. An Afrikaner would say Harry Miller with an accent. He'd also say Clifford Thornton with an accent. Lol Coxhill (First and last. I'd assume the first as in "Jelly Lol Morton", but I may be wrong) I've always heard his first name to rhyme with doll, not roll. I can't imagine any other pronunciation than cocks hill, except maybe cocksle. Edited July 12, 2012 by Pete C Quote
Pete C Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Patti Bown? Does it sound like "bone" or like "brown" (without the "r")? I've always said "bone" but have never been sure. I think either bone or maybe Bowen, which it may be a corruption of. Quote
Pete C Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Eje Thelin Not sure how to represent this orthographically, but I think it's Eaya (or long A sound for first syllable, short A sound for second) Tay-leen. I think Don Cherry may announce his name on Eternal Rhythm. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Thanks for the Miller clarification. Yes, I am a bonehead sometimes! I assumed the way you're saying re: Thelin is pretty much correct, though Tay-lihn rather than Tay-leen. At least that's how my Russian friend who's spent time in Sweden says it. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 And how do German friends spending time in Denmark say it? Quote
tkeith Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Po-taht-oh. No thanks, I'll have the rice. Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 Dakota Staton's last name? Rhymes with Payton. Always wondered about that. Thanks. Reading this because I always wanted to know how to pronounce the name of the owner of Hi Records - Joe Cuoghi. Is it Kwoffee? Kwoguy? Kwoggy? MG Quote
