garthsj Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Well summarized Harold! And the sound is very good indeed, set to please Lil Red Riding Hood because it's "just right." AND you get portions of that book, just about a quarter of the book in each set! What's it called again? "Beelzlebub's Boogie?" "Them Satanic Melodies?" Something like that. I think that you mean "Goldilocks" .. right? The Red Hooded One was the kid that killed the wolf! When last did you read Grimms Fairy Tales?? Where in Houston are you esconced? Perhaps I can buy you an expensive cup of coffee sometime ... Quote
jazzbo Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Yeah, I mean Goldilocks. Sheesh. Can't even get a fairy tale right. I'm here in the Medical area, near Reliant Center, close to M. D. Anderson by shuttle. I may have some time in a few weeks. . . let's work on that! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 So, we aren't up to Kind of Blue or Giant Steps yet? Geez! Quote
AllenLowe Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Posted June 27, 2006 not yet - I am trying to convince the company to do a 1950s box, but no word yet - Quote
Stefan Wood Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) I got the second volume this evening. Fantastic! Thanks Allen! Edited June 30, 2006 by Stefan Wood Quote
jazzbo Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 I got Volume Two tonight as well. Looks great! THANKS! Quote
ghost of miles Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 I got both volumes yesterday and they have moved to the top of the "heap." They look wonderful, Allen, and I'm sure they're going to sound wonderful too. Taking orders for V. 3 yet? Quote
AllenLowe Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Posted July 10, 2006 consumer alert - all orders received by June 30 have gone out, and only three (dating from the last few days) after that remain to be shipped - I'm posting this to head off attorney general investigations, as I've had one pissy email from a member who shall remain namesless, 'cause I don't blame him for being annoyed, as I was a bit late on shipping some of these - and he IS a lawyer (or at least he works for a law firm), so I probably pissed off the wrong guy - I have been slow in responding to emails and I apologize for this, as I'm overwhelmed with life at the moment, working a new job, dealing with kids on summer vacation, taking a vacation myself, actually practicing every day, trying to finish up a new book, and trying to do a complicated recording project (I'm doing a session in a few weeks with Erin McKeown, a very interesting Indy-rocker). The other orders will go out today and tomorrow (as well as that missing booklet, Garth). I'm also busily preparing my boxed-set info-mercial, so am gathering testimonials about how these sets changed your life and enhanced your male members (please email my privates - I mean, please email me privately - about this) - Quote
ghost of miles Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 Hey Allen, hope everything goes OK. Think there's any chance you could get coverage of your sets in the NY Times Arts section, or maybe a review from Whitehead on Fresh Air? IMO they merit that. Quote
AllenLowe Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Posted July 10, 2006 funny you should ask - Whitehead has a copy and, I was told, likes it very much - now, I also happen to know that Kevin doesn't like ME very much (it's an old grudge) - of course, journalistic objectivity would take precedence - both Ben Ratliff and Nate Chinen have been mailed sets, but I'm not aware that either has reviewed it - Quote
Clunky Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 both sets received. Look great and sound wonderfull, merely scratching the surface so far but really enjoyed the Wilbur Sweatman track "Every body's crazy........" hard to believe it's from 1918 , sounds incredibly fresh. Quote
AllenLowe Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 the Sweatman band is one of the major under-appreciated units, IMHO. Not just "peppy" but musically driving in a real, early jazz, way. Quote
Aggie87 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 You got a mention in the current JazzTimes (w/Stern & Bona on the cover). I'll try and post the comment later, if I remember... Quote
Aggie87 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 You got a mention in the current JazzTimes (w/Stern & Bona on the cover). I'll try and post the comment later, if I remember... "Following his highly acclaimed box set, Minstrel to Mojo: An Audio History of American Popular Song, 1893-1946, saxophonist, audio engineer and historian Allen Lowe recently released the first volume in a new anthology covering classic jazz and its eclectic roots. Titled That Devilin' Tune: A Jazz History, Volume I, the nine-CD set surveys early and pre-jazz music from 1895-1927." JazzTimes, August 2006, p.38. Quote
Harold_Z Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 I saw the first set at the Tower in Paramus NJ last night. Quote
