The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 and I always heard it pronounced "coffee". Well, I always THOUGHT it was pronounced 'Coffee' until I noticed that the U and the O were the wrong way round. You never knew that guy, then Chuck MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Turns out the American Joe Cuoghi wanted his name to rhyme with boogie: http://www.rockabilly.nl/references/messages/joe_cuoghi.htm Interesting piece; thanks Bill.

king ubu Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 is that "cuu-oggi" as in "aggie" or as in italian "oggi"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete C Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm assuming it's an Italian name and therefore the gh is a hard g, as in go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yeah, so then "oggi" was a misleading transcription for Italian-savvy folks ... but since the guy wants to boogie, who cares (uh, I just see it was "oggy", so that's that!)

king ubu Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Patti Bown, I've often wondered ... as in "Brown"? Or as in "bone"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Patti Bown, I've often wondered ... as in "Brown"? Or as in "bone"? I supposes this depends on which part of the English-speaking world you come from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 the swiss-german-speaking part what about Don Moye? Do you pronounce the "e" at the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 what about Don Moye? Do you pronounce the "e" at the end? I don't think so. I'd classify him in the same category as pianist Don Frye (sometimes spelled "Frey" - which makes the pronunciation obvious, I think).

king ubu Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 that's how I'd pronounce it, too - I'd like to know from someone who knows though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 When I've heard Roscoe Mitchell announce the members of the AEC (live and on recording), he's pronounced Don Moye's name as Moy-ay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete C Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I believe Quincy Jones introduces Patti Bown as "bone" on the Jazz Icons DVD of his big band. I've always heard Moye pronounced two syllables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
