Since I don't even know how to spell the word, it's for sure I don't qualify.
Enjoy the music.
Jazz for aficionados
"Smokey Robinson" was when "Mo-Town" made Detroit one of the top cities in the country, and I was there; it seemed that everybody had a new car, fine clothes, nice home, and lived good. Now I know what a "Grand-Poobah" is. let's make Thursday, any thing goes day. Mapman, with a headdress like that, there could be no doubt who "The Grand-Poobah" was. Enjoy the music. |
Speaking of aristocracy, money and Grand Poobahs; the real Grand Poobah of Jazz: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8nppTSY-Rs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k341z3dsXy4 |
Art Pepper knew how important "The word on the street" is in jazz. So much so, that he overheard some "jive turkeys" bad mouthing him, and alleged reverse racism; what he didn't know is that the word on the street had given him his proper place in jazz as an alto sax man, and his record "Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section" confirmed that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Pepper_Meets_the_Rhythm_Section Jazz musicians are the most independent individuals I've ever met; Miles said something to Red Garland, that he shouldn't have said, and Red was gone, just like that. For better or worse, they live life like they see it, and don't have no "Boss Man" Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones, would not have recorded with Art Pepper, if he wasn't qualified. Enjoy the music. |
Rok, Sun Ra had that same group together for some time, they even lived in a big house together; they were the people who put life into his insanity, and made it bearable. June Tyson was a vocalist and dancer who understood his insanity, and helped to make it real. (insanity is a bad word, but that's the only one that came to mind) Enjoy the music. |
