[Serial_Apologist]

Many thanks one more time, Alyn!

I'll bet there's some on here will be looking forward to that Lee Morgan track!

[Ian Thumwood]

... the McNeely band is inyteresting

Calum

This band is actually the old Thad Jones / Mel Lewis band which held residency at The Village Vanguard. I saw them many years ago at Vienne where they were on a double bill with Dave Holland's big band. They rehearsed in the courtyard of the college where I was on a workshop and they were fantastic. It was better hearing them close up as you could really appreciate the way that this band had a lightness about them that gave the band the feel of a small group. At lunchtime all the students and band members met up for a bite to eat and it was quite intriguing listening to them chat about music. I was amazed at how many of the musicians spoke in glowing terms of working with pop acts like Barbara Steisand which took me by surprise. Some of the musicians were interesting although one of the trumpet players was a complete knob and thought it was funny picking on the diminutive Gary Smulyan who is a nice chap. However, I would have to say that getting to meet the late Dennis Irwin (also playing on the track requested) was a highlight for me. He was easily one of the nicest blokes I've met and had a genuine interest in talking to you and sharing your passion for music. He also played a pretty useful clarinet.

Jim McNeely writes some really good music and deserves to be better known. He works with a number of big bands where his writing is in the tradition yet is frequently ambitious. He is a pretty serious composer . I think he wrote some of the charts for the Dave Douglas album with a big band. McNeely is well respected by other musicians and like yourself, I will be listening out for this track even though there are some brilliant records of an earlier vintage too.

Looking forward to the Lee Morgan and Charles Lloyd tracks

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

well there is no JLU bognored by the opry agin; Geoffrey is playing singers from the Ellington Realm and Jon3 has a new UK Trio but no playlist and i can not be arsed this week ..

is R3 going on a collective end of term skive [or worse] as RW goes; will they do a ManU to the new Boss; will the New Boss be the same as the old boss? who gives a finger pop

jazz on R£ is sliding into a pit of opry murders, cutsin Jon3, more whaqmmies all round - and go seek it here seek it there across the BBC and find Jamie Cullum ...


Vive La France!

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

"The BBC revealed as a corporate member of the CBI."

Now why doesn't that surprise me.

Can't say I blame.... However, the"new trio" on Monday's Jon3, of trumpeter Laura Jurd's pianist, is well worth toonin' in for. Elliott Galvin is in the tradition of pianist individualists in this country including such as Alex Hawkins, Liam Noble, Keith Tippett and Mike Taylor; ignore him at your peril sez I!

Thanks much for Jeremy Steig, Alyn. I recall hearing something by him and thinking:

'This guy is a gas on the flute!'

But not back in 1963!!!!!!!!!!! Impossible.

DISC
Artist Charles Lloyd
Title Song
Composer Lloyd
Album The Call
Label ECM
Number ? Track 2
Duration 12.44
Performers: Charles Lloyd, ts; Bob Stenson, p; Anders Jormin, b; Billy Hart, d. 1993.

This tune was titled "The Song My Lady Sings" when Lloyd recorded it with Gabor Szabo, Ron Carter and Tony Williams on "Of Course, Of Course" back in 1966 - one of my favourite ballad tracks of all time on a great album I bought when it first came out. I wonder if they subsequently fell out... great band that 1993 line-up, though.

I was listening on line just now, and whilst Anders Jormin was playing his solo, my anti-virus software updated. This software tells you verbally that it has updated. Bloody annoying...and absolutely typical of people (and computers) to talk through the bass solo!

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Yes, that track was the highspot of JRR. I tend to be a bit "sniffy" about Charles Lloyd etc. Time for a rethink.

appalling manners that talking thru bass solos; always loved Jeremy Steig .... album he cut with Bill Evans is a corker
