mikeweil Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 I have the June 3, 1976 issue of down beat in front of me, with a review featuring that guitarist as a sideman, and a review of the pianist in question with the bassist. Damn, my down beats go only back to 1976, and I thought I remembered a review of that LP. Quote
Big Wheel Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 Ok, so a quick search says then that Michael Howell is on guitar, Henry Franklin bass, and Ndugu on drums....but I have no idea what the record is. Quote
couw Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 come on mike! you should have said "maybe" and add one of these: Quote

rockefeller center Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 Hehehe! I think there's a Dennis Gonzales recording that has Jim Sangrey and Henry Franklin. Bravo Big Wheel. Quote
JSngry Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 Michael Howell I came up with while going through the DBs, what I know of his playing fits. He never impressed me much. The DB profile of him mentions he's a San Franciscan, and that he'd been recording for Milestone. I remember those albums. sorta, and again, wasn't too impressed with them at the time. They're not in AMG either. I'm up to April 1975. Lemme go see if I can find a review of the exact album. Quote
JSngry Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 Oh, never mind. I see a link has been posted! Oh well, the closet excursions never fail to yield unexpected delights. This time it was a Michael Cuscuna profile of Randy Newman & a Leonard Maltin review of a Bu Pleasant album. Quote

mikeweil Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 Jim looking for his DB from 1974 ..... presumably looking after some beer, which we all deserve after this long ride through the mysteries of the world of rare records ... Quote
couw Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 so this is not supposed to be one of those an-alcoholic parties then? GOOD! Quote

I had forgotten that Henry was on that record. He made the session, but not the rehearsals, at least not the same ones I did. Wow, that was a long time ago... Here's the album: Quote
couw Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 and now we'd like a closeup of your photo from that front cover please Quote
couw Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 Where did all that THIN go? more interestingly, how many razor blades did you need every week? Quote
JSngry Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 One of the most beautiful women I've ever know, and a great singer. She made one album for Enja (w/Fathead!), a thing or two w/her cousin Hannibal, and then became a background singer w/John Mellancamp, a gig she still holds, afaik. Quote
couw Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 still very beautiful check this link Quote
mikeweil Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 So you did a record with Pat Peterson ... I had that ENJA LP, but sold it later on, Fathead played as beautifully as ever, but Billy Hart made the impression on me that he was really delighted playing backbeat all the time, and she was not jazzy enough for my taste. For a soul singer it was okay. But singers are a very personal thing, they either attract you by their voice and phrasing or they don't. Fine if she looked good for you. Quote
Jim R Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 WHEATIES!!! Sangrey eats Wheaties. The breakfast of champions. GOD DAMN... I KNEW there was an explanation for this guy's intelligence... Quote
RDK Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 It's been killin' me all week to pass over this thread, but I've been terribly busy and haven't had the chance to devote much time to listening. But I've gotta throw at least a couple of comments out, at least on the tracks that I know (so far). D1/T6 "The Water is Wide," one of my favorite traditional songs. Van Morrison actually does my favorite version of this on his album with the Chieftans, but I really like this version as well. Sheila's voice is very distinctive to me, so I recognized her right away. She does a version of this tune on another album of hers that I have, a duo date with Harvie Swartz, but I like this version much better. Took just a minute to figure out that this track comes from this. D1/T11 Why this tune isn't a jazz standard I'll never know. I can't say that I'm a big fan of Dave Burrell (I haven't heard enough of his output), but "Crucificado" is a terrific song. My favorite version comes from this Archie Shepp album. This version here is okay, but the vocals sound strained and the guitar solo is both gritty and sloppy at the same time. Quote
randyhersom Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Posted February 6, 2004 mikeweil, thanks for keeping it interesting while I was on an overnight business trip. A shutout has been recorded. Very well done all. There is one tiny detail - one of the albums actually had two leaders, and only one has been mentioned. I certainly would file it under the name many of you mentioned, but to be fair to ... Quote
randyhersom Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Posted February 6, 2004 (edited) Hey, mikeweil, I thought Michael Howell recorded on guitar with both Diz and the Messengers. I do know there is one Diz album where he's listed on bass, but that's not the only one, and I never really was sure that was correct anyway. Edited February 6, 2004 by randyhersom Quote
