AllenLowe Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Posted January 27, 2006 well, first of all, he took his name from both the trumpet player and that mean kid on the Little Rascals - Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 and just to see if I can get Jim mad - I used to hate jazz organ; when I first started listening to jazz in about 1968 it drove me up the wall - but now I quite like it. Hey, it takes some people longer to grow up. Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) well, I think it had to do with my earliest jazz interests - Ornette, Eric Dolphy - I went backwards from there into the 1920s and swing - so that was where I made the connection - Edited January 27, 2006 by AllenLowe Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Posted January 27, 2006 though I always liked ? and the Mysterians - I'm a farfisa man - Quote
DukeCity Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Just curious, why Butch Miles? I can only imagine that the Basie Band would swing a lot harder with Trilok Girtu driving the bus. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 though I always liked ? and the Mysterians - I'm a farfisa man - Farfisas are evil. You truly are on the Dark Side. Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Posted January 27, 2006 also like the Eminey (not sure about the spelling) - especially the one that had the cheesy drum machine attached - Quote
Jazz Kat Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) Soulive just get's me pissed off. They're so unconsistant. They put out a great funky album, that I can't get enough of, and then they come out with a stupid album like their newest, Breakout. Soulive stepped into the background for their new release.

I agree. They are uncredibly inmusical. Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Posted January 27, 2006 it ain't jazz, but I really hate Hall and Oates - fake soul. If there was a dictionary entry for "white bozos," their picture would be used as an illustration - Quote

sheldonm Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 So who the hell is Butch Miles? ...drummer for Basie? Quote

marcello Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) this thread is especially illuminating - when someone like Marcello, who has complained of my negativity, manages to insult not just me but two dead people to whom I was very close - thank you for proving my point, Marcello - Hey, I was just kidding Allen! I havn't heard you but a actually love Al and Julius; I know that they are favorites of your also. Just a innocent joke ( I thought). Otherwise, I think the thread is useless, at least.

Joe G Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Kidding, you say? Oh. Ummm, forget what I said about your petty friends and all that. Heh, heh... Quote
frank m Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Very good, gang!. Most of you didn't take the bait to be negative. Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Posted January 27, 2006 sorry Marcello, I think I interpreted your remarks unfairly - it's just lately I feel on the defensive around here - Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Kidding, you say? Oh. Ummm, forget what I said about your petty friends and all that. Heh, heh... Oh, I'm afraid your kidding will only lead to your inevitable doom! Quote
Guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 sorry Marcello, I think I interpreted your remarks unfairly - it's just lately I feel on the defensive around here - WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? jerk Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Medeski, Martin and Wood - whatever they are, I don't care for it. Also, though I would NEVER say I "hate" their playing, Arthur Doyle and Noah Howard do drive me up the wall sometimes - ironically, both have either been on or put out some of my favorite records, but it's not what they're doing that I like. Weird, huh? Quote

JSngry Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 Ok, I don't really "hate" Butch Miles, I just think of him as Buddy Rich wthout the soul and Sonny Payne without the organic swing. Other than that, beautiful player... And Bobby Durham I only really hate when he does that 2 & 4 snare rim thing on uptempo tunes. Which is more often than not... But Bob Buhl... Quote
marcello Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 I gotta say Jim I heard a Oscar Peterson at the Blue Note cd with Durham playing, and his hi hat was very grating. I thought of your past posts about him and I said to myself " the man is right!" Quote
JSngry Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 Well, no disrespect to the man personally, he came through Dallas a bit in the 70s for some reason (maybe when Ella was working the Fairmont, I don't know, I didn't have the money for that scene anyway) and frequently sat in with Marchel Ivery at The Recovery Room and he's a nice guy and all that, but.... And speaking of Marchel and the Bobby Durham 2 & 4 thing, I heard a little while back that a young drummer who was sitting in with Marchel starte doing that on something up, "Dahoud", I think, and that Marchel stopped playing, turned around, and said, "You're stabbing me in the back, man!" Right there in front of everybody! I guess that since Bobby Durham was a "peer", Marchel never did that to him. But the sins of the father were definitely visited upon the son! Quote
