7/4 Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Man...I've heard none of those! Where's the Ayler box??? Quote
RDK Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Congrats Phil! I've heard only a couple of thoes discs. Pretty conservative choices overall. Would love to see the Jarrett trio or Haden's band perform on the Grammys. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Congrats Phil K. You gonna sell the Grammy on eBay if you win, like Steely Dan did? Quote
catesta Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Congratulations, Phil! Right on! Quote
Christiern Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Congrats Phil K. You gonna sell the Grammy on eBay if you win, like Steely Dan did? Hey, that's an idea--I've got a pair--how much am I bid? CONGRATULATIONS, PHIL! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 I can't find the actual auction (it used to be archived) but I found the text from the auction: "Ultra-rare commemorative trophy from self- styled "official" music honorary organization, issued to quasi-prominent and appropriately sheepish musician. Statuette approx. 4" x 4" x 16", made of unidentified metal alloy mounted on a marble base (see picture below). Inscribed. Representing as it does a craven lapse of taste, judgement and self respect on his part, the owner is eager to be rid of this appalling artifact ASAP. Cheaply made and intrinsically worthless in all important ways, this little baby will nevertheless be obscenely expensive to its next owner - making it the ultraperfect collectible icon of its age. Hefty reserve price. Note: A companion piece (identical but inscribed to owner's colleague) may possibly become available in conjunction with this statue to the discriminating and well-heeled collector whose bid demonstrates that "price is truly no object". May consider partial trade of valuable goods and services." Funny stuff! Quote
Christiern Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 That's great, B3-er! Love it! In fact, I'll drink to that... Quote
Adam Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 (edited) I think the Ayler box was issued too late for eligibility this year. And congratulations Phil! Edited December 8, 2004 by Adam Quote

SGUD missile Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Thanks for the props, guys .. Even though I'm fairly certain that Slide ( possibly McNeely ) will probably win this, it's a trip just being considered in such august company .. I'm just happy to have gotten this far with the first CD of my own.. after some 38 years of writing widget cheeze-whiz music for the suits .. This 'll really keep the fire lit to do the next CD ..( seven charts done so far! ) geez ..an overnight success ..at 67 Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Bet you can't stop dancin'. I'm very happy for you. Quote
Christiern Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 (edited) And look at it this way, Phil... Even if you don't win, you don't lose! There is always the non-winner nomination pendant! (the shine has given way to a charming patina) Do they expect us to wear these things???? Edited December 8, 2004 by Christiern Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Chris, that was YOU I saw in the Village wearing the pendants! Quote
Christiern Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 (edited) All kidding aside, Phil, I'll be rooting for you. And remember, an award tucked away does your career no good. Whether you win or not, you have to capitalize on it while it's fresh. I think I mention how a friend of mine (Geoffrey Holder) took his Tony award straight to a PR person and landed several jobs as a result of the publicity, one of which paid the PR person's fee. The rest of the Tony-winning cast (we're talking WIZ here) had a good old time celebrating, but there was no boost to their career. Edited December 8, 2004 by Christiern Quote
Christiern Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Chuck, I'll get you for this! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Man...I've heard none of those! Wow...that makes me feel so lucky to have KCSM out here on the airwaves; I've heard at least a cut or two of most of them, although I'll admit the only one I've picked up so far is the Conrad Herwig disc... Quote
cannonball-addict Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 That Jan Garbarek has no right to take that spot. The vocal category makes me sick to my stomach with whom they've chosen. What about Tierney Sutton or Rene Marie or Shirley Horn? I hope the Vanguard Orchestra finally wins one but Brookmeyer will probably take it. They really deserve it! Quote
cannonball-addict Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I'm also very glad Donny McCaslin is finally getting a nod. He is a killer player and the fact that Maria has him in her band is testament to his abilities as a soloist. I really dug Scofield's solos on Enroute but a lot of people I talked to in radio and even people who know jazz, didn't care for it. What a band? What more can you ask for than Bill Stewart and Steve Swallow with John Scofield? Quote
JohnJ Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 The vocal category makes me sick to my stomach with whom they've chosen. What about Tierney Sutton or Rene Marie or Shirley Horn? I am sure that you would exclude Andy Bey from your comments. Good to see him finally getting some recognition. Agree about the rest though, especially a certain young Brit (and I'm English). Quote
brownie Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Congratulations Phil SGUD! Hope you clinch it! Quote
