Chuck Nessa Posted August 6, 2012 Report Posted August 6, 2012 and I always heard it pronounced "coffee". Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 6, 2012 Report 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
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 6, 2012 Report 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. MG Quote
king ubu Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 is that "cuu-oggi" as in "aggie" or as in italian "oggi"? Quote
Pete C Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 I'm assuming it's an Italian name and therefore the gh is a hard g, as in go. Quote
king ubu Posted August 8, 2012 Report 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!) Quote
Pete C Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 Get up and boojie! I hope I'm not confusing any Dutch people... Quote

king ubu Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 Patti Bown, I've often wondered ... as in "Brown"? Or as in "bone"? Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted October 17, 2012 Report 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
king ubu Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 the swiss-german-speaking part what about Don Moye? Do you pronounce the "e" at the end? Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted October 17, 2012 Report 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). Quote
king ubu Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 that's how I'd pronounce it, too - I'd like to know from someone who knows though Quote
paul secor Posted October 17, 2012 Report 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
Big Beat Steve Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 Aw well, one never knows, do one? Quote
JSngry Posted October 17, 2012 Report 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. This. Quote
Pete C Posted October 17, 2012 Report 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
Big Beat Steve Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 I've always heard Moye pronounced two syllables. Like Alison Moyet, then? Quote
