I did not cheat, but when I clicked on the clip from O-10 to listen, his name was right there. Very bad album photo. Surely they could have found a better photo of Manhattan.

That's what happens when you're in a hurry. This is what should have happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylXk1LBvIqU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03juO5oS2gg Enjoy the music. |
On Ran Blakes latest record,( sorry no YouTube yet), Ghost Tones, " Portraits of George Russell" there is a story of when Russell's recording " Jazz Workshop" went out of print in 1959, Ran Blake went around getting jazz people to commit to purchase it if RCA- Victor would re-release it. The people who signed it are a who's who of Jazz. Some are Jaki Byard, Ornette Coleman, Chris Connor, Bill Dixon, Eric Dolphy, Sweets Edison, Nesuhi Ertegun, Gil Evans, Jimmie Giuffre, Charles Mingus, JJ Johnson, Baroness Kathleen Annie Pannonica Rothschild , Barbara, Nellie, TS, and Thelonious Monk, and so many more. They have copies of the actual sheets and it is very cool to look through the signatures. RCA producer George Avakian replied that he would forward the list to higher ups. It wasn't released until 1987. |
Once, when i was in a used record store, a man and I started talking about Jazz. I told him I was new to Jazz and barely knew anything. He said, " if you buy anything today, buy George Russell"s recording Stratasphunk" I plunked down my $3.99. Sweet! http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=g1feYNzVunI |
