A Lark Ascending Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Jazz Library from BBC Radio 3 Alyn Shipton interviews Bob Brookmeyer and selects his records. Me too! He always looks so unwell - on stage and in photos. Yet his mind and speaking voice seem to be of a man 50 years younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Such an interesting guy! Indeed! Though not exactly modest! I really like his more recent big band recordings - some beautifully sonorous brass writing in almost eleagic settings. That 'Celebration Jig' that was played is a wonderfully agile, life-enhancing piece off a great record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 You missed a great Stan Sulzmann track. Made me think that it's Joe Henderson he reminds me of most (though I was listening to Stan ten or more years before I heard Joe!). Henderson seemed to have a big influence on the tenor players at the turn of the 60s/70s. I can hear him in Ronnie Scott too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I remember Ronnie on Desert Island Discs many, many years ago praising to the skies a newcomer called Joe Henderson. This was before he started making "Mr Piano" jokes when announcing Henderson tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was before he started making "Mr Piano" jokes when announcing Henderson tunes. Yeah - I've been in the audience a few times when he came out with that Joe 'Piano' Henderson joke - one of his 'set' gags. If I remember correctly he sometimes followed it up with 'Miles will be in the Club next week' [gasps and awe from punters..] followed by the immortal 'Sir Bernard Miles' Edited February 6, 2010 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
