jeffcrom Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Ray McKinley's post-WWII/1940s band, with plenty of good Eddie Sauter charts. That's some great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyJazz Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Ray Charles. Yeah I've listen to him for years, but it seemed like background music until now. Just gave a listen to these two CDs. "Genius + Soul = Jazz" and "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music vol 1" and I am blown away by both of these sessions. I need to get a copy of "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music Vol 2" next This can be gotten rather inexpensively used, Ray Charles & Milt Jackson, "Soul Brothers/Soul Meeting" (Atlantic): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I am just discovering a guitar player named Sean Levitt. I like him but I think he died a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat5 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hi Bruno, Check out Clyde McCoy too :-) Also for flugelhorn, try to find some Miles Cosnat. He blew in the 1600s. Way ahead of his time. Recordings hard to find. I think he made some early De Vinci sides :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it stops the bots but not the actual people who are spammers. this story apparently made national tv overhere (rare thing for anything jazz related, a documentary about stalkers on the web; the guy who comes in around 1:30 is a private detective; the thing started as a conflict on a jazz message board...) http://brunoleicht.blogspot.com/2009/05/br...spiegel-tv.html (so i guess the attacker knows his jazz well enough to get in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 This thread is surely changing directions. Hopefully he gets banned and doesn't cause any havoc here.

The Red Menace Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) I think the moderators have taken care of him--the posts are gone and his account seems to be deleted as well. Crazy that the whole "Bruno Leicht" saga has gotten bad enough to be included in a German TV documentary. Apologies for derailing the thread a bit; I've just seen the havoc this poster has caused at other jazz sites and didn't want him doing the same here.

mikelz777 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Carlos Garnett and Chuck Mangione before he was Chuck Mangione I love the pre-Chuck Mangione Chuck Mangione. The Jazz Brothers, Hey Baby!, Spring Fever and Recuerdo are all good listens and I especially enjoy those that feature Sal Nistico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look for this one. I want to thank you for this recommendation as well. I listened to the samples and knew almost immediately I wanted to pick this one up. I didn't realize it was a 2-CD set and found a nice deal on a used copy. In addition to this, I picked up Charles' 2-CD "Blues + Jazz" (w/Count Basie Orchestra) so I can have a little Ray Charles fest in the near future. :tup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen that one on LP but didn't buy it. Oh, I see it's not with Ray himself, it's a musical portrait with Ray's liners: http://991.com/Buy/ProductInformation.aspx...ckNumber=455780 Anyway, they had recorded together because that's not the cover I remember.

flat5 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I just got an email from Bruno and he implied that he did not make the post about Clifford Brown. Bruno does have a fine sense of humor so I was not surprised except I've never known him to be sarcastic. He is very up-beat. However I do think the Miles Cosnat bit is funny :-) "The Jazz Brothers, Hey Baby!, Spring Fever and Recuerdo are all good listens and I especially enjoy those that feature Sal Nistico." Ditto to that! I had two of the Mangione Brothers Riverside LPs in the early sixties and played them often. I talked to Sal once in 1983 about them and his work with Herman. I told him how much I was impressed with his articulation, his tonguing. He said, "Yeah...I don't do that anymore". (or something like that) I took it to mean that he could do it when he was young. Nice fellow, great player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno does have a fine sense of humor so I was not surprised except I've never known him to be sarcastic. He is very up-beat. finally figured out that clarinetist oliver leicht and trumpeter bruno leicht aren't the same persons... (always thought i'd misremembered the instrument when reading about either of them...) so let me say once more that sean levitt - best remembered for the esp album he participated in at age 13 - is a real fine post bop guitar player, late in his life (he died in 2002 at age 48 or so) he recorded five albums in france and spain, four are on lastfm, one's on deezer, will order them soon... (also on emusic...) and there's a myspace sean levitt tribute page with some sound samples http://www.myspace.com/seanlevitt and a google search for "clifford brown" "sean levitt" leads to the fine 24 year old guitar player attila muehl, say about 24 year old boppers what you want... he has soul imho , worth checking out... http://www.myspace.com/attilamuehl an albums worth of organ trio featuring muehl is here http://www.myspace.com/maxblumentrath son of this guy (there's a great tradition of sons of artists becoming guitar players...?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Muehl edit to add, here you can play (i believe) the one album levitt issued during his lifetime (rest is posthumous) http://www-v3.deezer.com/de/#music/sean-le...n-levitt-140009 Edited July 14, 2009 by Niko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasstrack Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Bill Black, a singer who made one solo CD with guitar, mostly ballads, after going out with, I think, Krupa. He had a deep hurt and great voice. It's very expensive, an import. Also, forgive a plug of local musicians/friends, but Michael Howell on guitar has been kicking ass lately when I hear him.
