What am I hearing ?

[leftshu]

I was listening to The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady and at 5:26 into track 4 it sounds like Mingus says "God dam it". Listen to the track and tell me what you hear. Am I hearing this right ? TIA for your input.

I've only got this on LP; I assume the track you're talking about is the long one that takes up the whole of side 2 and starts with "Mode D - trio and group dancers". I'll have a listen later.

sure sounds like that although the intonation is a bit funnily stretched instead of spat out with vigour.

here's an excerpt of the right channel only with some of the piano filtered out.

[Rosco]

"Go, Danny!" ?

[Dan Gould]

"Go, Danny!" ?

I'm not exactly a Mingus-phile, was DEEP on drums for that session?

ham sammich?

Ed Swinnich?

I find it hard to believe that Mingus would use such profane language.

[brownie]

"Go, Danny!" ?

Not sure what Mingus says but if it's 'Go, Danny!', then it should be 'Go, Dannie! -_-

[DukeCity]

"I'm Gumby, Dammit!"

[Peter Johnson]

Yeah, but what do you hear if you play the record backwards?

[JSngry]

"Tim Mad Dog"?

[couw]

"Tim Mad Dog"?

I'd say it sounds more like "Wookie Mad Dog"

[7/4]

"Tim Mad Dog"?

I'd say it sounds more like "Wookie Mad Dog"

More than it sounds like "Go, Dannie!" when it's played forward.

Let the wookie win.

You can hear it much clearer on LP, with the balance fully right, bass right down, treble full up, than you can on the excerpt posted.

Hooray for vinyl!

He's saying "Hodaddy."

This was Mingus in his surfer phase.

[Rosco]

"Go, Danny!" ?

Not sure what Mingus says but if it's 'Go, Danny!', then it should be 'Go, Dannie! -_-

Slight difference in pronounciation...
