kh1958 Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 ....how aobut 4.21.57 when you have the time!!! Thanks, m~ If I were you, I would probably head to Birdland first, to see the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Then to the Cafe Bohemia, to see Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Finally, in the unlikely event of getting enough of Duke and Blakey, to the Composer, for Eddie Costa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 If you get a chance, 11/7/45? I'm hoping Bird was playing somewhere. Couldn't find Bird, but still a pretty good week... Downbeat has Sidney Catlett and Billie Holiday Onyx has Roy Eldridge and Ben Webster Three Deuces has Slam Stewart Trio with Erroll Garner Zanzibar has Duke Ellington Cafe Society Uptown has Mary Lou Williams Stuyvessant Casino has Bunk Johnson and Baby Dodds Looks like a good group of artists for me to put on the box for an afternoon's listening - now to find the time!

Kalo Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 If you're not already sick of this, kh1958, could you see who was playing on June 6, 1961? Thanks in advance. I should get me that complete New Yorker -- sounds like you could mine that sucker for years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much dig all of those guys. Randy Weston is a personal favorite. And Getz, Taylor and Sims are giants. Based on this result, perhaps I should be checking out Lateef, whom I have hitherto ignored (as I'm not a big fan of jazz flute). Thank you! Imagine who else was playing in venues that the New Yorker didn't list! Not to mention the recording sessions on that day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By coincidence, I'm listening to some of my first Lateef as I read, and he's a mofo on tenor as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I've always had the sneaking suspicion that Lateef's reputation as a flautist obscured his prowess as a tenor player. Does anyone have a recommendation for an entry-point to Lateef's recordings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 OK, I've resisted 'til now. May 20, 1944 if you please. Thanks. A very good week for jazz: Duke Ellington is at the Hurricane, Count Basie is at the Lincoln, Art Hodes is at Jimmy Ryan's, Oscar Pettiford and Hot Lips Page are at the Onyx, Coleman Hawkins is at the Downbeat, and Sidney Catlett at the Three Deuces.

kh1958 Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Eastern Sounds, Cry--Tender, The Centaur and the Phoenix are three OJCs I like alot.

kh1958 Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) How about April 30, 1977? I'm going to Boomers to hear the George Adams Quartet. On May 2, Rahsaan Roland Kirk is at Town Hall. On May 6-7, Mingus is at the Village Gate. While that should be enough, there's this double bill at the Village Gate: Cecil Taylor and Charles Earland. If you want to hear piano/bass duets, there's Hank Jones and Richard Davis at Beefsteak Charlies, And Jimmy Rowles and George Mraz at Bradley's. More saxophone, there's Stan Getz at Hopper's, and Zoot Simms at Sweet Basil, as well as the Lee Konitz Nonet (with Jimmy Knepper) at Stryker's. Also, Elvin Jones at the Village Vanguard and Cecil McBee at Ali's Alley. And at Gregory's, Russell Procope and Sonny Greer perform.

Flute has traditionally been a side instrument for reeds players like Yusef Lateef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:.impossible Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Thanks for the schedule kh! I like the idea of the George Adams Quartet playing that night. I wonder if he was playing with Pullen, Brown, Richmond in 1977? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flute has traditionally been a side instrument for reeds players like Yusef Lateef. You're probably right, though it seems to me that he was promoted for his flute playing. Perhaps because it was a trendy thing at the time? For whatever reason, I always associated him with the instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:.impossible Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 He seems to play oboe alot as well... one of the first Lateef albums that was given to me was EASTERN SOUNDS. You get it all there. Tenor playing is strong. I'm sure you can find other rec's if you search. For whatever reason, LIVE AT PEP's VOLUME 2 is a popular recording. It didn't seem up to standards with EASTERN SOUNDS, but alot of his more recent music is very interesting. If you are inclined, check out the recordings he has done with percussionist Adam Rudolph.
