GA Russell Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 Valerie, I always trust your posts. Did you know Gerald or another musician who pronounced it that way? Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 'Throat warbler mangrove'. Yeah, but it's spelled "Hen3ry". Quote
ValerieB Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 Valerie, I always trust your posts. Did you know Gerald or another musician who pronounced it that way? this is "nah-nah" with a broad "a". i easily could be incorrect but i'm going on how i've heard Gerald pronounce it. admittedly my memory these days doesn't always serve me well!

Alexander Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 'Throat warbler mangrove'. Yeah, but it's spelled "Hen3ry". Actually, it's spelled "Luxury-Yacht". Quote

rostasi Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 Yna-yna-yna-yna, yna-yna-yna-yna, hey, hey, hey, goodbye! Quote
Ted O'Reilly Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 I'm with Don Brown.... "Eena Eena". As in "Yma Sumac" -- Eema Sumac (or is it Amy Camus?). Quote
sidewinder Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) Eena Eena. That's definitely it. I heard The Man himself say it (I think ) Oh, hang on - maybe Valerie is right. Easy solution is to check the Festival Hall recording I have. Edited April 9, 2008 by sidewinder Quote
Dan Gould Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) There was a Frankly Jazz broadcast that featured the Gerald Wilson band. I had a feeling that this tune was on the broadcast so I pulled out my audio transfer. The host, Frank Evans, is holding up Wilson's then current album, You Better Believe It, and said that this tune was written for the family cat: Blues for Yen-Yah So, its not Gerald himself announcing it but presumably with such an odd name, he told Evans before the broadcast how to say it.

BFrank Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 I think it may be pronounced: Shar-day' Quote
sidewinder Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 There was a Frankly Jazz broadcast that featured the Gerald Wilson band. Of course. I'd forgotten that gem. Quote
Lupis Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Hey guys, I was doing a search for Frankly Jazz on Google, and came across this fourm. My name is Lucas Evans and Frank Evans was my grandfather. He had 3 sons named Peter, David, and Lance. I am Davids youngest son. I was wondering if you guys had or knew of anyone who had any old clips from Frankly Jazz, either video or audio. There are 3 at the Museum of T.V. and Radio in Los Angeles, which I have seen. Frank died long before I was born and I am always intrested in seeing and hearing new things about him. Thanks guys. Quote

He's still paying for the URL but has never gone any further, so I am curious if he still has any plans. As for the Frankly Jazz material, I have a video and audio recording of the Curtis Amy and the Gerald Wilson episodes. If you haven't seen them, I can provide copies. But you should know that it appears that Uptown Jazz is going to issue in August a CD of Dupree Bolton, the bulk of which will be the audio from the Amy show. That is likely to be in better sound than the audio I have lifted off of a third generation VHS copy. There's information here and Amazon actually shows the CD for pre-order. You can email me at dangould (at) hotmail.com Quote
sidewinder Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 I've got 4 of them on VHS - Curtis Amy/Dupree Bolton, Jazz Crusaders, Paul Horn and Gerald Wilson. Quote
king ubu Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 I think it may be pronounced: Shar-day' char-don-nay? I'll have to check my list, but I don't think I have any Frankly Jazz that haven't been mentioned here already. They seem to be pretty rare in trading circles. Quote

Ah well, the Amy seems to be the only one I have... though I might have some more but the info wouldn't be logged to my files in that case. Sorry! Quote
