Dan Gould Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I might invite Keith Jarrett, just to find out if he grunts while he eats, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete C Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) I might invite Keith Jarrett, just to find out if he grunts while he eats, too. And which outcome would you prefer? Maybe when he likes the food he lets out one of his ecstatic Ahhhhhs. I'd only invite Gary Peacock if Elvis Costello agreed to come.

johnlitweiler Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 It would have to be a potluck. Louis Armstrong can bring red beans and rice, Kid Ory can bring New Orleans delicacies, Randy Weston can bring North African goodies, Count Basie can bring the same old beef stew, Hank Williams can bring jambalaya, Screaming Jay Hawkins can bring alligator wine, Bessie Smith can bring gin, George Lewis can bring ice cream. Maybe Charles Ives can bring Concord grapes. Need some more women guests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, John, but I have a memory of you reviewing a Kalaparusha record years ago and writing that he sounded like he'd be a dinner guest who might eat the dinner plates. If my memory is faulty, please correct me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete C Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) There are few women I'd less rather dine with than Madonna. Six dead women: Jeanne Lee, Mary Lou Williams, Eileen Farrell, Miriam Makeba, Jacqueline du Pre, Ruth Brown Six living women: Sylvie Courvoisier, Ann Peebles, Carla Bley, Helen Merrill, Joyce Moreno, Leny Andrade (the last 2 lived in NY for a while and speak English well).

JSngry Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 It would have to be a potluck. Yeah, I mean, I'd be hard-pressed to pick who to invite w/o knowing what a good common-ground menu would be. I ain't proud of much, but one thing I am proud of is that if you get invited over specifically to eat, me and LTB will make every effort to give you a damn good, satisfying meal to reward you for your effort.

Chuck Nessa Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 This thread reminds me of a situation a few years back when Uncle Skid joined Ann and me in Ann Arbor for Edge Fest. "The Trio" (Roscoe, George & Muhal) were performing. Anyway, we were looking for some place to eat after the gig and all we could find was a Wild Wings place. I don't think Skid will ever forget the dinner conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlitweiler Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 We'll have to invite George Bean, the Chicago trumpeter, and Charles Hamm, the music historian, and Hal "Cornbread" Singer. And Bird, of course. For refreshments, Pops, Ronnie Beer, and Lu Watters. For dessert Sugarpie DeSanto, Sweets Edison, Jelly Roll, and Roosevelt "Honeydripper" Sykes. The party would be a flop without Lester Young and Billie Holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I'd invite Manfred Eicher; but wouldn't allow him near the kitchen because he'd tamper with the cooking. Perhaps a few Andorrans, though I'd make sure I'd hide my recipes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courvoisier is married to/partner of Marc Feldman, and I think at least partly NY based. And Carla Bley, I should assume, is fluent in english, too. Btw, the mention of Jelly Roll as desert is somewhat... shall we say slippery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Skid will ever forget the dinner conversation. Must have been cool to have been there. When I made my choices, I didn't consider that musicians who were on the same wave length might turn out to be more interesting than an eclectic mix.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I don't think I'd invite musicians. I'd go for record producers. Bob Porter, Jerry Wexler, Esmond Edwards, Chris Albertson and a guy called Nessa who always makes funny remarks. I bet there's a million funny stories ABOUT musicians in that lot.

Me, for the after dinner hootenanny I'd have the following dudes in their prime 'wild boy' days (and BYOBaggy of course!) - Mike Stern, Joe Zawinul, Jaco Pastorious and Bonnie Rait representing the distaff side.
