ghost of miles Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 One Night in Birdland for me--the Parker as well as the Blakey version. Quote
BeBop Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 Hey, I'm a big spender. I'm headed to the Record Shack on the Uptown "A" for some of them $3 tickets. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 17, 2004 Author Report Posted February 17, 2004 (edited) I wouldn't mind being there with a dozen bags of sandwhiches and three cases of beer! Edited February 17, 2004 by jazzbo Quote
Brad Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 Yeah, how about one of those JATP sessions or when Bird was coming up with Jay McShann. That'd be fun. Or when he played at the Onyx Club. Or how about the Massey Hall Gig. That would be sublime Quote
7/4 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Off the top of my head..... Coltrane with Miles, Coltrane with Eric Dolphy, any Coltrane post-A Love Supreme, Any Miles between 1965-1975, Ornette before he went electric (particularly if he had Don Cherry, Ed Blackwell and/or Dewey with him), James Blood Ulmer with Ornette, Alice Coltrane playing her own gigs post-JC, Pat Metheny with Jaco - although I understand that could be an iffy afair, Metheny with Ornette, Mingus with Dolphy, Mingus without Dolphy, Dolphy without Mingus, Jim Raney, Circle, Anthony Braxton with Dave Holland, Kenny Wheeler and/or George Lewis, pre-stroke post-1960 Sun Ra, La Monte Young during the 1960s-1970s-1980s and any time he played the Well Tuned Piano Live (at least we have the DVD), Terry Riley when he was playing organ and time lag accumulator, the original Mahavishnu Orchestra, Capt. Beefheart when he was still performing, King Crimson with John Wetton, Jimi Hendrix on a good night, Howling Wolf & Muddy Waters during the '50's, Charlie Patton and Robert Johnson when they were still around, Stravinsky conducting and Pythagoras. If I think of anyone else, I'll let you all know. Quote
chris olivarez Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Some of the ones that came through Phoenix when I was growing up there- Wes Montgomery(it may have been his last gig ever), Hendrix,Cream,Duke Ellington,Miles those are just a few that I remember. I'd like to revisit the night when I saw Paul Butterfield(that was a good show). Also a few that as far as I know never came to Phoenix -Horace Silver with Blue and Junior,Art Blakey with Clifford and Lou Donaldson-Trane with McCoy,Elvin and Jimmy Garrison-Howlin Wolf,Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson and of course Charlie Parker.I'm sure more names will come to me later but those are some I can think of right off the top of my head-oh! one more Duane Allman.

Larry Kart Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 K. Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, with L. Armstrong and the Dodds brothers, at the Lincoln Gardens in Chicago in 1922 -- not only because the band was so damn important but also because there's every reason to think that there was a big gap between how the band sounded on the stand and how it sounds on its dim (acoustic) recordings.

chris olivarez Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 I just thought of another one Don Patterson and Sonny Stitt. I realize the Varitone was not universally loved but DAMN!!!! they rocked hard!!! Quote

And while we're at it, how about a Buddy Bolden gig so we can see if Wynton knew what he was talking about. Quote
chris olivarez Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Good idea Free For All. Quote

brownie Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Would love to get that time machine. Would set it back to 1933 for a visit to the Cherry Bossom Club in Kansas City when Coleman Hawkins was ambushed by young tenor sax players Lester Young, Herschel Evans and Ben Webster. Legends were born that night... Quote
Dmitry Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 I won't be unique. Coltrane at the Vanguard. All shows. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 ...and Pythagoras. I'll second that one. How about Homer reading/singing the Iliad to hand drums and Greek lute? Quote
chris olivarez Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Alexander where did you get all those posters? Quote
couw Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 I think he took them from the *other* board Quote
