Sorry if this has already been posted earlier in the thread but, John McLaughlin

Is it Mc-Lock-lin or Mc-Loff-lin?

Cheers.

Mc-Lock-lin

Depends which side of the border you are on I guess (Scottish, not Watford Gap :D ). I always thought it was the latter.

That's how my friend Danny Padmore who played bass with him in his early days pronounces it.

"Huge Pain Ass-y"?

Just guessing.

:g  Actually, it's for an upcoming Night Lights "Bebop Comes To Europe" program, and one of the musical tracks I'm using, by Hubert Fol and His Bebop Minstrels (inc. Kenny Clarke), is titled "Assy Panassy."  Whomever could they possibly be referring to? ^_^

Was he the guy who can be heard giving play-by-play and color commentary during a performance? I'd hope not, but there's something somewhere where soembody does that, and it's funny, weird, and irritating as fuck all at one.

Last name is rather easy Pann-ass-yeah 

 

First name not so much as both syllables do not have the same equivalency in english , The hu is pronounced the Hu of huge  but with more accent on the u like they say it  spanish as in the cu of cuando , the ghes is similmar to the gh  is pronounced the same like ghetto but the e sounds like the way they pronounce it in German

Are you thinking of these tracks?

Miles Davis and Tadd Dameron in Paris 1949

It's not Panassie (who despised bebop) there--announcers "unknown" and "Maurice Cullaz" (rather prominent voice in French jazz radio/criticism circles, apparently.  Brownie could undoubtedly fill all of this in much more).

Probably so...but I have a memory (maybe just of a dream) where some guy was actually doing the verbal equivalent of an Ira Gitler liner note review.as the performance unfolded...is there a French version of one of the Esquire concerts that has something like this? The guy was really breathless, like it was a prizefight.

Hopefully, though, it's all a dream. Or a nightmare. Either way...

(I hope this isn't a repeat!)

Illinois Jacquet

I once heard a live performance where the MC introduced him as "Illi-noyz Jacket."  Maybe so, but I've always been skeptical.

Anybody know for sure?

How about Tim Hagans?

I’ve always said “HAH-guhns”. But I vaguely remember (later) learning it’s actually “HAY-guhns” — but I’ve never been able to break myself of the first way I started saying it probably going on 30 years ago.

Or I suppose another option might be with a short ‘a’ like in ‘hat’. In any case, I’m practically positive the stress is on the first syllable.

I did hear Tim once, just once, back around 1995 in Lawrence Kansas, in Joe Lovano’s piano-less quartet (with Anthony Cox on bass, and I forget the drummer). No idea what the stage announcements that night were (or I’d know now).

I think you know how to pronounce that;)

   

 

Yes, I didn't know he was from Louisiana!
