Ron S Posted November 27, 2005 Report Posted November 27, 2005 Are you saying that we torpedoed any hopes of Organissimo signing with Sony and Blue Note Bertrand. Nothing that bad (unless I just haven't realized it yet). It may have cost us a review, that's all. No biggie. FUCK 'em. You don't need 'em. I say we should show respect to all the labels. I don't think it's fair that O's future gets compromised by comments on the bulletin board. Can't there be a disclaimer where the band points out that opinions expressed on the BB don't necessarily reflect the band's views? My point is that any label or publication/website (and Jim referred to a potentially lost review, not recording contract) that doesn't already realize that, is going to be trouble sooner or later anyway. It's clear that what the band is trying to provide here is a free and open forum--within reasonable limits, of course--and any label that doesn't understand and respect that is probably one they wouldn't want to be involved with. At least that's my understanding of Jim, Joe, and Randy from their comments I've read here. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted November 27, 2005 Author Report Posted November 27, 2005 It says at the beginning of our forum rules: "**DISCLAIMER!** The messages posted on these forums express the views of the author of the message, and not necessarily the views of this bulletin board or the band Organissimo." I'm not too worried about it. Let's keep this thread on track. Quote
bertrand Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 Jim, Any new date for Blues Alley yet? Thanks, Bertrand. Quote
randissimo Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 Jim, Any new date for Blues Alley yet? Thanks, Bertrand. My guess is if it happens it would be sometime in the spring. There's a jazz booking agency in Baltimore. The agency handles Dave Liebman, Paul Bollenbeck, Herb Ellis, Jimmy Bruno, Greg Hatza, and many others. The booker is interested in us and would be able to help us organize an east coast tour. Quote

mrjazzman Posted December 6, 2005 Report Posted December 6, 2005 Jim, you have to come to the left coast. and why go to southern calif. l.a. and san diego, come to the beautiful san francisco-oakland bay area of northern california. Yoshi's at Jack London Square in downtown oakland is the place to be. don't have any personal contacts there but i'm sure i could drop off a demo tape if you send me one................. Quote

Yoshi's could be a little tricky... They book well known national & international acts and we're still fairly unknown around the nation.. I used to live in Oakland from Dec 1985 - Sept 1989.. I love that place! Quote

mwjazzman Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 We're looking for hip clubs to play across the country. If you have some cool places to play in your town that you think Organissimo would fit into stylistically (we can play straight jazz clubs or college bars that are a little open or art museums or what-have-you), please list them here. We'd love to come to your town and put on a show! Thank you! EDIT: I merged this old topic with Randy's new one since they are basically the same thing. If you feel more comfortable talking about this in private, please do not hesistate to send me a PM or an email. You can find my email address in my signature. Thank you for your help and support! I'd like to see you guys check out one of these venues, ann arbor art fair, ypsi heratige fest, DET.INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FEST. this would be the one to do, you guys would kill the pyramid stage or the water front I saw Ron Blake there with Joey D. and it was awsome.. with Mr. Gibbs and company it would be a organic summit. I don't know how your relationship is with the local Detroit cats but as a patron of the art form it looks good from where I sit and that would be RIGHT IN THE FRONT ROW!! Two great Organ trios at the same fest, The Damn city might just IMPLODE! Plus I'd like to hear Joe and Perry jam off one another. In my mind this would be one to have live on video.. Enough for now.. I got the new cd from you guys last night.. KEEP UP THE GROOVE.. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Posted January 22, 2006 mwjazzman, did you introduced yourself as being from the forum? Thank you for coming out! There is about a 99.9% chance we'll be playing the festival this year. I would say 100%, but nothing is ever certain. But I'm very confident we'll be there this year after last night! Thanks for coming and I hope you like the CD! Quote

ghost of miles Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 Indy folks--sheldonm, rachel, jazzmessenger, etc.--how about Fountain Square's Decadent By Design for Organissimo? Quote

sheldonm Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 Indy folks--sheldonm, rachel, jazzmessenger, etc.--how about Fountain Square's Decadent By Design for Organissimo? Been by it several times but not in it. My sister is pretty good friends with Cathy Morris, maybe she could help out....I'll look into it. m~ Quote
jazzkrow Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 If you ever do a Northwest tour, then Jimmy Maks or the Blue Monk would be the place to play in Portland. Louis Pain is the Hammond man in town. You'd want to get your cd into his hands and he'd spread the word! He plays often with the brilliant Mel Brown, the ex-Motown drummer, who makes his home here in town. Quote
