Big Beat Steve Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 What you been smokin', Chewy, writing' like that??? You seem to be stuck in overdrive again ... Forheavenssake .... As for the Kimberly connection, check this (Google is your friend): http://www.bsnpubs.com/pri/kimberly.html Seems like they did all sorts of tributes to the big band era greats. Good occasion for musicians to make some extra dough as studio freelancers. Lots of West Coasters did that. No big surprise. And in the early to mid-60s they did some straightforward albums featuring West coast greats, as you can see. The Bud Shank album, for example, is from 1963 according to another source. If Gioia and Gordon did not dwell too much on this in their books then maybe this was because this time span (60s) was beyond the KEY period when WCJ was all the rage so they had to thin out their coverage of what happened AFTER that period??

Funny, when I made a similar comment to one of his previous posts, I got an angry PM and Hans deleted my post. I guess you must have... DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY! Quote

clifford_thornton Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 well, Paul Bley was on the West Coast and later played with Chet Baker, and... he has been on ECM since the early days of the label! So you might have to make some exceptions... Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 John Surman has been on ECM for ages and he's west coast too. Quote
