                    B.G. - THE LEGENDARY BILL GODDARD

                         a tip of the hat to B.G.

This is a live jam and spirit-raising in memory of Bill Goddard.  Bring
your instrument down to the Rex Hotel (in Toronto), this Wednesday
(January 15).  Showtime is 9 sharp.  Join in for a tune in honour of B.G.
There will be special guest musicians, friends, family.  A very special
guest, John Gittins, will lead off the night with Toronto's hottest jazz
musicians.

-------

Bill Goddard was a man who made his mark as a leading jazzman in the 50s.
He recently died at the age of 68, and will be remembered.  Hed had an
unforgettable, uplifting, feathery-flight style.  B.G.'s sax has jammed
with many greats of his day: Sonny Stitt, J.J. Johnson, Kenny Dorham, Cecil
Payne, Kenny Burrell.  He came out of retirement, playing at Lidio's and
Quigley's, the jazziest places of the Beach.  He took ill with cancer, and
remained on his farm until his death.  There is talk of a documentary film
called "Thanks For The Buggy Ride" about him.  May his spirit be
remembered.

Shorter, Hancock, Carter and Williams.  Not to take anything away from Stern,

Correct, Marc Russo, who played with the YJ's did used to play with Tower of
Power...  But I have not seen or heard him since he left the YJ's.  Russo is an
awesome alto player, and I hope that he resurfaces again soon!!!

About a month ago, I read a new (c. 1992) book by Ted Gioia (hope I spelled
that right) called "West Coast Jazz". I meant to post a full review of it
but don't know when I'll ever get around to that. All the recent posts
about Art Pepper, Sonny Stitt, Chet Baker and others made me think I should
strike while the iron is hot.

Briefly, each chapter has an overall subject (e.g. Art Pepper, the musical
scene in Los Angeles in the early part of this century) but includes thumbnail
biographical/musical sketches of minor players, places and related topics.
An annotated recommended discography, references and an index appear at the
end.

I *highly* recommend this book. I enjoyed reading it, learned a lot and
will probably end up with lots of new music to listen to (my next order to
Fantasy/Prestige/Riverside/etc. is going to include some Hampton Hawes).

I didn't know much about the CA jazz scene before reading the book so
I'm not the most qualified reviewer possible for it. If anyone else has
read it I'd be interested in your opinion.

A few days ago I heard a tune played by a jazz-musician called AndyLaVerne.

I didn't find anything about him in my jazzbooks, so I would be glad if anyone
of you could tell me a few things about him.

I also would like to know something about good tunes recorded by him.

Thanks in advance.

   * I finally found some Paul Bley I like.  This one with Ron McClure
   and Altschul (I think?)...  Anyway, I also heard
   "Japan Suite" with Gary Peacock and Altschul.  This is more "free", ie
   no tunes.  But it's good.  Peacock's playing is particularly nice on
   this one I thought.  But I haven't even listened to the whole thing
   yet.  Anyway, further recommendations or whatever are welcome.



My favorite Bley is from the early-mid 60s. I'd especially recommend
the Arista 2lp set recorded live in Copenhagen and Haarlem (not
currently in print but relatively easy to find in used record stores).
Altschul is terrific on drums, and the two bass players (Kent Carter
on Copenhagen, Mark Levenson on Haarlem - or maybe vice versa) are
fine if not quite up to Gary Peacock standards. One of the concerts
features a number of shorter tunes; the other consists of two very
extended pieces.

Other notable records from this period are THE FLOATER SYNDROME (early
60s, w/Steve Swallow and Pete LaRoca (I think)) and CLOSER (mid 60s,
with Swallow and Altschul). Both are available as cd reissues (Savoy
and ESP/ZYX respectively). THE TURNING POINT is an interesting one as
well, featuring Sun Ra'ite John Gilmore, but I have to say I prefer
the trio settings. 

Bley can also be heard to good effect with the Jimmy Guiffre 3
(Guiffre, Bley, Swallow) on the ECM cd reissue 1961 and the recent Hat
Art release FLIGHT BREMEN 1961.

>... Jarrett's (my pianistic hero)

Hmmm. None of my recommendations sound anything like Jarrett. On these
records, Bley is quick, spare, and oblique - very nearly the opposite
of Jarrett, but just fine by me.

Not a dissappointment here. Note Pepper's impassioned solo on "These Foolish
Things".  Also note that Pepper and Clark pick up the pace somewhat on this
Classic ballad.  Yes the sound quality is not great.  But the opportunity to
hear this live club date is of significant importance.

I don't know whether the musicians benefited from Bob Andrews' club 
recordings.  The recordings provide important historical milestones 
of artists performing out of the constraints that studios and record 
companies sometimes imposed.

The Atlas LPs were available as imports in the early-to-mid 80s.  From memory,
(I am not home to check) Pepper appeared with Stitt on 2LPs, with Lee Konitz
on 1LP ("High Jingo") and 1LP with Bill Watrous ("Funk 'n' Fun"). There may
Be others. I'll check.

Organization: DAS Purchasing, Harvard University

Or at least the record that has the live, long version of 
"Nil Shin Lo" (very bad phonetic Gaelic on my part, here) on it...

Reason:
Some people on rec.arts.tv have been enquiring as to the
music on the new VW commerical, and some other people hypothesized Enya

I know its Clannad's "Theme from Harry's Game", so I said so,
& I'm about 100% sure its Maraid singing, although
Enya did work with Clannad for a short time (back when she was still
Eithne).
(If anyone knows different, please tell me.)

But I've received an e-mail request for earlier Clannad from someone who 
recognized them as the background musicians on "Robin of Sherwood"
& wants a reference to what he termed "the livelier stuff"
(a preference to which I concur; Harry's Game is priceless &
timeless but some of the Magical Ringsish stuff, & the central theme
of Robin, is kinda lame).

So I'm in the role of folk missionary here,
-I've got the call-
& while I'm real good at generalities, 
& might be able to construct a discography if I hit a couple
local record stores..
could you help out?

I saw the Cluster Pluckers at the Station Inn in Nashville on New Years

Nagasaki - which is one of those old timey swing tunes with nonsense lyrics.
Very Dan Hick-ish (in fact the two female singers call them selves the
Pluck-etts", but I digress ...

Does anyone know the lyrics to this tune? or better yet, know of a song book 
that contains the lyrics.  I've listened to their "Just Pluck It!" CD and still
can't get all the words.

The only thing I know about T Bone Burnett is that he was strongly involved
with the production of Roy Orbison's "Black and White Night" special on
Cinemax, arguably the best capture of live music on film.  I think he
arranged and directed the backup singers.  Trivia: can you name the 3 men

   Boston College's annual Irish music weekend last spring was set up to 
   celebrate the anniversary of the last competition of ancient harpers in 
   Belfast in something like 1692 (I have the literature at home somewhere)
   featured Heyman, Derek Bell & a pile of other Irish-style harpers
   ranging from the suprisingly inept to the absolutely brilliant.
   BC puts out a record each year gleaned from the mini-festival;
   look out for this one.

Billie Hockett & Music for Robin is bringing back two of the standouts
from that festival for a concert in Lexington on March 20.  They are
Maire Ni Chathasaigh and Chris Newman.  (Were they standouts?  I wasn't
there - that's what Billie told me.  I'm inclined to trust her - the other
performers she's producing this spring are the Boys of the Lough and
Carthy & Swarbrick.)  Maire and Chris will be on Morning Pro Musica with
Robert J.                                               Lurtsema
on St. Patrick's Day from 10 to Noon.  For those New Englanders who know
this show, you'll know that interviews are invariably scheduled for
one hour slots.  So it seems that the producer or Robert J. thought
that this was a special opportunity.

While we're on the subject, does anybody know another Irish harpist
named Eine Minogue (or maybe Aine, I've seen it both ways)?  I've
heard good things about her, but haven't heard her.
