it uses none of the sidemen Creed had used in the past, or would use in the future. Grady Tate lead the beat on drums, and Artie Butler, yes that Artie, did percussion. Otherwise the rest were classical musicians.

Arguably Creed Taylor's only classical music album. Forget Sebesky's "Giant Box".

Recorded February 25, 1966 at Van Gelder's studio, just as Creed started negotiations to launch CTI as a imprint of MGM, Verve, or possibly another label...

Creed ran out of money for promotions and distribution... I spoke with jack briefly just before COVID and then lost touch, then Creed passed, and then Jack. Such a shame... He gave so much back.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Even all, hard to get but this is one of my favorite CD compilations, so much unusual music, great jazz, and so much more from the UK

Jack DeJohnette, just one of the deepest musicians ever, and a personal hero. Here is my obituary for NPR Music.

Jack DeJohnette, dynamic and instantly recognizable jazz drummer, dies at 83

Jack DeJohnette, of the most daring and singular jazz drummers of the last 60 years, died on Sunday.

La Nevada, Sunken Treasure- which has fab' ensemble work and Sister Sadie that starts slow and dull but comes to life Ray Crawford's guitar solo, really takes off with trombonist Jimmy Knepper's entrance.

Sadly not available on streaming, my copy came with two record-1's - No McFarland for me 2/2

I'm really enjoying the trombone and trumpets on record-1 of this double album reissue - Gil Evans record of the Great Arrangers.

Three great tracks (1/2)

RIP to Anthony Jackson, an electric bassist who helped revolutionize the instrument, and an astonishingly broad session history: Hiromi, Chaka Khan, Been Gees, Madonna, Pat Metheny, and the O'Jays among them.

I sketched this #drawing of AJ back in August of 2023.

Know what I really hate about the used vinyl market?

Sellers who remove the original inner sleeve, sell the record and then sell the inner sleeve for as much as the record.

One seller currently seller selling hundreds

John received a telegram from Miles Davis

Don’t ever mention my name again in a column, in a whisper,
in a conversation, on music or just plain in any form because
your head leans toward your white brothers and everything
that goes with it, including attitude, long hair blonde chicks,
you have no idea whatsoever of how a black man plays music
in 1970 of the rhythms of 1970 or the vibes of 1970 or the
attitude of 1970 or the dress of 1970 It is such a shame
because you missed something but then again everybody
couldn’t be born black....

I've been reading the John Wasserman book, put together by his sister Abby. It's a fascinating read.

Here is the jazz track that turned John on. Honestly, I'd never heard it until I saw mention of it in the book. It's a great listen.

B) BISEXUAL MASCARA ROCK: Again, there was a rush to
apply Bisexual Mascara Rock, a fusion of two exciting schools of music,
until it was discovered that its inventor, David Bowie, was pregnant by a
Chinese high-jumper. Since that theory had already been dismissed, it
was dropped like a hot (pink) lipstick.
C) Once these two major competitors were found out, the candi
dates rushed forth like flies to anointment:
Alice Cooper proposed S&M Rock and was promptly beaten to
within an inch of his life by a Fender Telecaster. He loved it and they
were subsequently wed....

There is video of this, I'm not sure if I saw it on youtube - it may have been a PBS documentary. Worth checking out!

Poking around in the Tulane University archives for the history of the "Black Music Festival"

By random happenstance, anyone see this at Tulane in 1973?

Picture of the front page and masthead of the Tulane Hullabaloo, Fen 15th, 1974. Picture top left shows what looks like six white people and possibly one black woman sat around a table. Caption reads: CONFLICT:: Tempers flared as members of the Finance Board met to review budgets for the proposed
Black Arts Festival and the Science of Creative Intelligence Symposium.

Suffice to say MGM/Verve Records...

Did you watch through to the end?

If I remember correctly, one of the flashbacks was that he'd been offered a job as an A&R man at Verve records. The film was full of dark humor disguised as jokes. The problem is if you didn't get the jokes...
