JSngry Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 http://slought.org/toc/archives/display.php?id=1161 I hate to "steal" content from another board, but this is some pretty major stuff. You can get it in Real or Windows Media versions. Is there a way to save this to my hard drive for future reference? Quote
tonym Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 If it's streamed (like you say Real player etc.) then you can download a program called Streamripper --- not sure if this is one of those products thta's ok to have but illegal to use though--- anyhow i thought it was far too difficult to use. Best of luck. Quote
JSngry Posted October 6, 2003 Author Report Posted October 6, 2003 I know it might sound fishy, but I'd just like to have a reference copy handy for study, etc. Not looking to pirate it or anything. It's 45+ minutes long, and sitting through the whole thing (or playing "guess the timeing of THIS part") is something I'd rather not do If I don't have to. This is the kind of thing I could (and would) listen to strictly for personal study. First time through, I really got into Trane's voice, how "down home" it would be at times, and then how the guard would go up, and then the curiosity would come out, all that. A printed transcript doesn't begin to convey that. But I suppose there are copyright laws involved, eh? Gotta respect that, I suppose. Shoot, if there was a legit CD copy for sale, I'd buy it! Quote
ghost of miles Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 I'll be curious to hear this particularly copy--I got this interview previously and used it in a Coltrane special. It's from 1958, I believe, and Coltrane makes some interesting remarks about getting into philosophy, playing with Monk, etc.... Definitely worth checking out. A lot of kitchen noise on the copy I have--sounded as if somebody was cleaning up after a meal--but that was only for the first few minutes. I hear a cleaned-up copy of the '66 Kofsky interview may be making the rounds. If only there was a duplicate of the four-hour '66 Japan interview that got almost entirely erased! Quote
Eric Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 (edited) I love Trane and this is a real nice treat! It is very interesting to listen to the sound of his voice and the "pacing" of his conversation. I dig the way he pauses to answer the questions and seems very thoughtful in his responses. He also sounds very relaxed and there are bits of humor here and there. Who is asking the questions? This is awesome!!! Eric Edited October 7, 2003 by Eric Quote
ghost of miles Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 Who is asking the questions? A guy named August Blume, either a writer or a fan who basically just invited Coltrane over to have dinner w/him & his family after seeing him gig in D.C. (Heh--can you imagine?) Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 I've never heard Coltrane actually speak. This is wonderful. For those that are interested I'm recording the stream via Cool Edit Pro for my own archives. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 I love this quote. Trane is talking about who influenced him in his early years and who he was listening to. He mentions Pres and then... Trane: Oh, it was Jimmy Smith for about... [a] couple of weeks, before I went with Miles... the organist. Blume: Yeah. He's tremendous. Trane: WOW! (laughs) I'd wake up in the middle of the night man, hearing that organ. Blume: (laughs) Give you nightmares! Trane: Yeah man, chords screamin' at me. Quote
Vincent, Paris Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 This interview was already featured on Mel Martin web site but the sound is worse and, as the tape is running slighty faster, Trane's voice sounds different. Quote
Joe G Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 That is a great quote Jim. "Chords screaming at me." Quote
JSngry Posted October 7, 2003 Author Report Posted October 7, 2003 Did y'all dig how Trane said "Art Blakely"? Down home like a mutha! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 Who is asking the questions? A guy named August Blume, either a writer or a fan who basically just invited Coltrane over to have dinner w/him & his family after seeing him gig in D.C. (Heh--can you imagine?) August (aka Augie) Blume was a long time music biz guy. He worked for RCA for a while, and also worked for Jefferson Airplane. Quote
couw Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 what was that about Monk? "...and then Monk comes in and nobody knows where he is." this is great stuff! Quote
couw Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 Jim, did you get the PM I sent you yesterday? Quote
Daniel A Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 This interview was already featured on Mel Martin web site but the sound is worse and, as the tape is running slighty faster, Trane's voice sounds different. I urge everyone who haven't yet checked out Mel Martin' site to do so. There is, among other interesting things, a recording of Leonard Feather's blindfold test with Charlie Parker!!! Quote
JSngry Posted October 8, 2003 Author Report Posted October 8, 2003 All PM's received, and options (intiguing all) are being weighed. Thanks! Quote
JSngry Posted October 8, 2003 Author Report Posted October 8, 2003 Saxophonistical Seconds to the recs toi check out Mel Martin's site, especially if you play the instrument. Might be the only Wayne Shorter interview on record where he stays concrete all the time, the subject being horns and other shop talk. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Griff's comments about Jaws are as priceless as they are informative. Etc. Check it out. Quote
Kari S Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 If you want to record the interview on your computer's hard drive, you need to find somewhere an audio recording software like Cool Edit Pro or Soundforge. The latter one is commercial, though, but I'm sure free ones exist that do the job. My computer records all audio when I just press "record" in Soundforge. So if I'm listening to an audio stream for example, I can record it with the software by just pressing the record button. Don't ask me why/how it does this, though... Quote
