Swinging Swede Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Not Buddy Greco, Cab or Louis. Actually I'm not sure it was meant derogatory; it may simply be that he didn't find bop as revolutionary as others did. The liner notes mention that he appreciated Dizzy Gillespie. He even recorded together with Dizzy on one occasion, so there you have another clue. Quote
marcello Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Could it be Nat Cole? I'm thinking of the JATP recording. Quote
Bright Moments Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 OH! That's Norma Carson! Rod --- Now playing: Art Ensemble of Chicago - Slow Tenor and Bass rod you are CORRECT!!!! now can anybody post a picture of her? i am dying to know what she looked like!!!! B-) Quote
Swinging Swede Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 Not Nat Cole, although the pianist>singer story is similar. Quote
Bright Moments Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 thanks for that, but surely there is a better pic of norma out there!!! Quote
catesta Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 thanks for that, but surely there is a better pic of norma out there!!! Good luck. I could not find any. Maybe someone like Chris Albertson would have one. Quote
Swinging Swede Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 Need more hints? OK, he wore Brooks clothes and white shoes all the time, and was a most indifferent guy. Now I'm going to listen to some Reinhardt, and when I get back, hopefully someone has solved this. Quote
brownie Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 OK, he wore Brooks clothes and white shoes all the time, and was a most indifferent guy. Can't be Jimmy Rushing Quote
Swinging Swede Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 Jimmy Rushing it is! Now I don’t need to use the line I had prepared about rushing off to work and posting the answer when I got home… Rushing can be seen playing alto sax and then falling asleep and dreaming away in a Basie video. In another he wins a dance contest by cheating. Hilarious stuff! Rushing recorded with Dizzy Gillespie on Duke Ellington’s Jazz Party from 1959. Quote
brownie Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 My turn then. This one should not be very difficult. 'In my mind, where's the individual who's gonna come out and play for himself? Like, if you have thirteen people and the teacher teach all thirteen of them, you mean to tell me out of thirteen he can't get one individual? So that's the way I think.' Quote
Alon Marcus Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Posted January 4, 2005 Was it a big band leader? How about a clue Brownie? Quote
Brad Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 I can actually almost visualize Jimmy Rushing saying that. Quote
MartyJazz Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Was it Phil Woods? After that one is solved, perhaps someone knows the answer to this one (not too difficult): "The motherfucker died before we could get even". Quote
brownie Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Lester Bowie? Close... Half of the way... Quote
Alon Marcus Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Posted January 4, 2005 Lester Young? David Bowie? Quote
brownie Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Lester Bowie? Close... Half of the way... The Bowie reference should have you demoted But the Young answer is correct and counts double Quote taken from the presidential interview by Chris Albertson! Quote
maren Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 perhaps someone knows the answer to this one (not too difficult): "The motherfucker died before we could get even". Miles re Bird. Quote
catesta Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Lester Bowie? Close... Half of the way... The Bowie reference should have you demoted But the Young answer is correct and counts double Quote taken from the presidential interview by Chris Albertson! Excellent! B-) Quote
mikeweil Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Very nice game. Until ztrauq22 takes his turn as the last winner, some little ditty to bridge the gap, an easy one: I can't tell ... All those white tenor players sound alike to me. Who said it? Quote
catesta Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 Jimmy Rushing in response to a question asked by David Bowie. Quote
JSngry Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 I can't tell ... All those white tenor players sound alike to me. Who said it? Warne Marsh? Quote
mikeweil Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 Warne - would suit him well, but it was a very outspoken black musician who said that. Quote
Leeway Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 Warne - would suit him well, but it was a very outspoken black musician who said that. Wasn't that Miles before a "Blindfold Test"? Then when he took the test, he got most of them wrong Quote
