Allan Songer Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Not only is it jazz, it's SUPERSONIC JAZZ! One of the greatest tenor saxophonists of all time is in those grooves--John Gilmore. I don't like to talk about Sun Ra to the unappreciative--it's simply not worth it. Listen closely and listen often and see if you hear what I hear.

mobile homeless Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 SUN-RA.... Not the first timer's choice. An acquired taste. In other words, SUN-RA is recommended with the knowledge that this is not Glen Miller. http://www.ayler.supanet.com/assets/images/Ban2.jpg After SUN-RA, throw on some Albert Ayler for a chaser. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomac Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 Thanks for the info guys. I Just finished listining to Getz's "West Coast Jazz" and the "Mulligan meets Webster" gig that Kelly recommended. Not sure I'm ready for SUN RA tonight but I will try to give it a fair chance very soon. BTW, I also picked up what I thought was all Swedish Jazz only to find out Curtis Counce is on the bass and Victor Feldman plays the vibes. It's titled, Bert Dahlander and His Swedish Jazz - SKAL. Funny that these were the only jazz LPs in this guys collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Today, at the salvation Army, I picked up a perfect copy of Lionel Hampton "Newport Uproar" recorded live at the Newport Jazz Festival in July, 1967. On the jacket it says "As the crowd roars ecstatically at the end of this record, the awed producer george Wein is heard 'This hasn't happened since Duke...' he begins, casting back in his mind to 1956 and the nearest comparable triumph." Of coarse he was refering to Duke Ellington. Just so happens that another LP I picked up today is " Ellington at Newport". Reci\orded at Newport, RI, on July 7, 1956. This one needs a good cleaning before I can play it. But, if it is as good as the Hampton set.......... Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomac Posted October 4, 2003 Author Share Posted October 4, 2003 Allen & Kelly, "They Don't Call It Jazz" was a direct quote from a guy named Robert Ostermann. An article that he had written for the National Observer on June 7, 1965 was reprinted on the inside sleeve. It's very interesting reading and Albert Ayler and his brother Don were mentioned along with Gary Peacock, Cecil Taylor, Byron Allen, Milton Graves and others. The article was titled, "The Moody Men Who Play the New Music." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
