JeffGollin Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) BTW, can anybody enlighten me to the REAL identity of CLAUDE CLOUD of the "Claude Cloud & His Thunderclaps" fame (10in LP on MGM, variously entitled either "Rock & Roll" or "Let's Get Cat-Static")? The general concept of that LP is similar to that of Boots Brown (Shorty Rogers) on RCA and a line-up I have seen includes REAL names such as Sam The Man Taylor and Leroy Kirkland band members, but Claude Cloud figures in between (on drums, IIRC), though I have a HARD time believing there really was person by that REAL name. According to Jon Hendricks, there was no Claude Cloud - it was a pseudonym for arranger LeRoy Kirkland. I vaguely remember that on the original recording, Cloud was listed as a "banjo" player. On later discographies, he's listed as a drummer. But I'm reasonably sure he was really Kirkland. This one dude at a second-hand record store once told me (20-25 years ago) that Cloudburst was originally a Gene Krupa tune featuring Charlie Ventura on tenor.

king ubu Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 I might be slow getting it ... but can anybody tell me who "Raven Screen" is, the author of the liner notes to Sonny Criss' Prestige album "Up, Up and Away"? Quote
king ubu Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) So Jet had a writer going by that name? There seems to be a Raven Screen Corporation, too, manufacturer of movie screens founded in 1921 by one Albert L. Raven (who died at 75 in 1951 as Billboard reports here).

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 I always liked Torsten and Axel Zwingenberger - citizens of Swing City Torsten, the drummer, has short hair and is 4 years younger than Axel, who plays piano, though you wouldn't think so. MG Quote

Based on stylistic evidence, I'd bet a good deal on "Raven Screen" being a pseudonym for David A. Himmelstein, he of the deservedly famous notes for the Booker Ervin-Dexter Gordon "Settin' the Pace." Himmelstein and Schlitten were good friends, and while I don't know why Himmelstein would have used a pseudonym here, the over-the-top, but also personal, inventive, and perhaps cannabis-fueled vibe of the prose is similar (albeit the "Settin'the Pace" notes are a bit more grounded because Himmelstein was present for that recording session and the odyssey of what led up to it). E.g. (from the Criss notes): "Screamsong sirens of broken glass shatter the shaft of life, a dome of rain and daydreams where things fly together and no birds are.... Eyes of blinking destiny and bleary forgiveness stare on crimes of suffering in the ecstasy of a naked light that could raze the world pure once more and reforge the heart of everyone it touches." Whew. Quote
king ubu Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks Larry! Himmelstein rings a bell though I don't know why/wherefrom/-to, as I don't know those Ervin/Gordon notes - somehow never got around to buying the single disc release and then the bix Prestige box of Dexter's came out. If they're online anywhere, I'd be glad for a hint! Quote
Larry Kart Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 The notes can be found here. Scroll down and click on them; the type is small but readable. BTW the album title is "Setting the Pace," not "Settin'" etc. as I mis-remembered. The person on whose site the notes appear refers to them as "painfully hip," which is one legitimate response. Acknowledging their strain of self-indulgence and moments of excess, I have a more positive take overall. At the very least, they bring back vividly an era that I lived through, though I didn't live through it in quite the same way that Himmelstein seems to have. https://londonjazzcollector.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/ervin-setting-the-pace-rearcover-1800-ljc.jpg Quote
