Dr. Rat Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 I think I'd dial up January 16, 1938, Go to Goodman's Carnegie Hall Concert, rush uptown to see the Basie/Webb battle of the bands at the Savoy, sleep a bit then head over to the studio to catch Commodore's first session on the 17th. --eric Quote
chris olivarez Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 I think he took them from the *other* board Quote
Alexander Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Alexander where did you get all those posters? Just right click on the image and then select "properties" for the web address of that particular pic. Quote
7/4 Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 ...and Pythagoras. I'll second that one. How about Homer reading/singing the Iliad to hand drums and Greek lute? Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 The 2005 Grammys. Whilst there I would peruse the latest music magazines. On return I could: a) Go to the bookies and get some very good odds on next years winners. B) Make my predictions for what's going to matter in jazz next year and become revered as a pundit of incredible forsight. I'd just need to make sure I didn't go to the Grammys 2005 in 'real time'. Wouldn't want to meet myself. Quote
chris olivarez Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 Bev I like the way you think. Quote
LAL Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 First stop: Buddy Bolden and band introducing the 'new music' to folks in New Orleans. Second stop: Louis Armstrong and Hot Fives at various Columbia recordings. Third stop: Charlie Christian/Dizzy Gillespie etc jam sessions at Minton's and Monroe's. Fourth stop: Duke Ellington and band's premier at Carnegie Hall. Fifth stop: John Coltrane's various takes of Countdown for Giant Steps album. Final stop: Fast forward 200 years from now to see if all these jazz greats are still remembered and/or listened to or, horrors, that Mr Gorelick has been crowned "Emperor of Jazz"!! Quote
mikeweil Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 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... Excellent choice! I'll be there with you! Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 Bev I like the way you think. I think I was overly influenced by 'The Time Tunnel' as an 11 year old! Quote
Big Al Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 (edited) Ellington, Gonsalves & Co. tearing up Newport, 1956 would be good enough for me! EDITed for spelling (whattya expect at 4:30 in the morning?) Edited February 20, 2004 by Big Al Quote
paul secor Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 A few that come to mind: Ornette at the Golden Circle with Izenzon at the Golden Circle, 1965. Albert Ayler with Cecil in Denmark. Billie and Pres in the studio - any date would do. Bird at the Open Door, 1953. Ellington's 1927 "Creole Love Call" date with Adelaide Hall. Quote

A Lark Ascending Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 I first saw it in Singapore - when I could persuade the Amah (these were colonial days, we had servants...and we wern't rich!) to swap from Chinese Opera! No wonder I've got weird tastes! Quote
frank m Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 Amazing---Nobody but me wants to hear Bix??--that is if we don't have to hear Whiteman. Quote
Bright Moments Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 couw- great photo! please tell me who'd who! (i recognize Mingus and i'm guessing parker). thanks! B) Quote
Bright Moments Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 couw- are the others powell & taylor? B) where was this taken & when? Quote
Pete C Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 Monk & Haynes. "To my knowledge there is no recording where Monk and Mingus play together, but a classic photograph taken by Robert Parents in 1953 shows Charlie Parker, Monk, Mingus and Roy Haynes in action at the "Open Door" in Greenwich Village, New York. In Gene Santoro's book "Myself When I Am Real - The Life and Music of Charlie Mingus" (Oxford University Press, 2000), which contains a detailed summary of Mingus' music and his turbulent career, there is a note that in the same year Mingus played with Monk on the Steve Allen Show."

Free For All Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Miles, PC, Red, Philly Joe and Trane. That would've been fun to hear. I was alive at that point but just barely. Also, since we're wishing for things, I wish I could go back and prevent Clifford's car accident. Or Lee from getting shot...or somehow prevent Rosolino from doing what he did..........etc.....etc....etc........ Quote
Chrome Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Speaking of Clifford, how 'bout Brown/Roach live at Basin Street ... (I know about the record, but I'd still like to have seen it!) Quote
