sidewinder Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 I can only hope that we get a couple of dozen more series of "Jazz Icons" DVDs loaded with stuff from the INA vaults, in nice picture quality and quality booklets. Bring it on ! Quote
Michael Weiss Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) This is the Fondation Maeght. A museum in a beautiful setting on the French Riviera. The Maeghts have been very open to contemporary art. Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor and Sun Ra are among the artists who played there and were royally treated during their stay there. Cecil told me as much recently. He was set up with a beautiful apartment with a grand piano. But then Cecil digressed, typically, into some kind of snipe against Stockhausen, who was there at the same time. I was always fascinated by the photos on the Sun Ra Shandar recordings from the Fondation Maeght. Looks like they played inside a big tent. About ten years ago I was on a plane from Paris to NY and was seated next to a boy, about eight years old, traveling alone. He was Maeght's grandson. Spoke excellent English.

AllenLowe Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) great Hawes from 1971 - and Bud is God. I'll tell you what I like about most of these - the musicians just play and don't make any funny faces. I'm not kidding. I'm from the Appalachian school - just play, don't grimace and twist your lips so it'll seem like you've got more feeling. Concentrate on the music. Edited November 6, 2009 by AllenLowe Quote

prozat Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) Hi, Here's a document which could be very usefull for all of you: it's an allmost complete index of all the jazz musicians that can be found on Ina.fr (sidemen are not included, though). INA_Musicians_Index.pdf The first page is about the videos, the second one about the radio sessions (but it seems that some of the audio material mentionned is not yet available on the site). It's taken from an INA press report available online. With the help of this list, I could find many other videos such as: Keith Jarrett 1969 Bill Evans Trio 1972 Ahmad Jamal Trio 1971 And there's a lot more to enjoy!

brownie Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Posted November 7, 2009 The Musicians index is unfortunately not complete. For instance, no mention of Lucky Thompson's (and others including Louis Armstrong, Bobby Jaspar and the Bob Shots, Rex Stewart, Mezz Mezzrow) appearance on this audio from the 1948 jazz festval in Nice: http://www.ina.fr/audio/PHD85024562/conste...de-nice.fr.html A very interesting audio!

Maurice Vander in 1960 at the Blue Note with two Bosses: Pierre Michelot and Kenny Clarke! Maurice Vander's 'Les Feuilles Mortes' also known as 'Autumn Leaves' (by Joseph - not Vladimir - Kosma ) Quote
bertrand Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 In the Connection clip, what is the first tune? It is not Freddie Redd's 'Sister Salvation'. Did Cecil Pane write his own score to this? Bertrand. Quote
brownie Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Posted November 10, 2009 No idea. It might be a theme written by Cecil Payne or Kenny Drew. But it's not part of the score Payne and Drew composed for 'The Connection'. At least, I don't recognize it as one of themes that they recorded for Charlie Parker Records And it's not Slide Hampton's song either. Quote
