Wayne,

Adam's still as busy as ever, I think!  A quick search of my dbase turned up 
many occurrences of him on recent CDs.  Here's a sampling [I'll just list the 
artist and the year(s) that the recordings were made].  If you're interested 
in particulars on any of the recordings, email me.

Richie Beirach (89--a tribute to Chet Baker), Jerry Bergonzi (89, 89-90), 
Salvatore Bonafede (90), Mike Brecker (88, 90), Joey Calderazzo (91), Eddie 
Daniels (89), Christian Minh Doky (89), Niels Lan Doky (89, 90), George Gruntz 
Concert Band (89, 91), Tom Harrell (87-89, 89), Conrad Herwig (89, 90, 91), 
Dave Liebman (87), Rick Margitza (89) and Ron McClure (91).

I've seen him several times in recent years, but can't recall with whom.  I 
know for sure that he was part of Jerry Bergonzi's Quartet when I saw that 
group a couple years ago.  I believe I saw him with Mike Brecker, too (that 
was probably 4-5 years ago).

Hmmmm...runs counter to my experience.  If you ever get a quorum, say
three or more trumpeters, invariably they'll start talking about range
and mouthpieces and stuff!  Trombonists, now, they aren't like that at
all :-)

I went to a clinic, some years back, where the chief designer from Bach
(sorry, I can't remember his name) talked about how brass instruments
are made.  This was a couple of years before I saw Monettes advertised.
When he talked about finishes, after someone had asked him what sounded
better, brass or silver-plated, he said that he had always thought that
raw brass was the best possible sound, but it would wear too quickly so
nobody used it.  Then talked about all the others, such as brass with
lacquer, Bach's rose brass, silver-plating, nickel-palting, etc.

Another tangent:  do any of you trumpet-dudes have a Jerome Callet trumpet?
He has all sorts of outrageous ads that say things like his is the finest
trumpet made, and has all sorts of money-back guarantees and stuff like
that.  Pretty obnoxious ads, if you ask me, so I've always wondered what
everyone thought of his trumpet.

Well, Marcel's epic recdb data entry saga has not gotten to McLaughlin yet :-),
and I am at work so this is from memory. Therefore the personnel lists are
approximate. But:

> 	A Love Supreme

From the album of the same name co-led with Carlos Santana and also featuring
organist Larry Young. Recorded circa 1973

> 	New York On My Mind

From JOHNNY MCLAUGHLIN ELECTRIC GUITARIST (1978), a kind of retrospective of
his career to date, with people he'd played with before.

> 	The Dark Prince

From ELECTRIC DREAMS (1979), his band with violinist L. SHankar. I saw that
band on one magical May 1979 night at the Agora in Columbus OH, and the
guitar-violin exchanges I will never forget. This album is a rather major
disappointment by comparison. Other players, as I recall, include Fernando
Saunders on bass and Alyrio Lima on percussion. I don't remember who the
drummer is.

> 	La Danse du Bonheur

Is from the Shakti album A HANDFUL OF BEAUTY; Shakti was an acoustic band that
played Indian-style music with indian instruments. McLaughlin played his rather
famous "sitar-guitar" (my expression) that feature six strings strung at
an angle across the body of his acoustic, that vibrated sympathetically with
the regular guitar strings, for that Indian music drone effect. The guitar
also had scallopped frets, which allowed him to bend strings not just up and
down but also in, thus increasing the possibilities for finding *just* that
right microtone. Apparently the thing was a *bitch* to play, but the music
he made.... Shakti also featured Shankar on violin. The album, and the tune,
are excellent.

I highly recommend "The First Album".  It's got some tasty guitar 
work by Duke Robillard and is more blues-oriented than the
post-Duke albums.   Duke also has a couple of solo albums that
I really like:  the jazzy "Swing" and the bluesy "Rockin Blues" 
(double-length CD).  He's since joined the Fabulous T-Birds after 
Jimmy Vaughn decided to leave the group.

I've been a huge Duke Robillard fan ever since going to the Roomful 
of Blues 20th Anniversary concert about 5-6 years ago, held in their 
native Rhode Island.  Every past member of Roomful showed up for a 
5 hour musical celebration.  ROB has served as a training ground for
a lot of great blues musicians:  Duke Robillard, Fran Christina and 
Preston Hubbard (Fabulous Thunderbirds' rhythm section), Ronnie Earl, 
LouAnn Barton, Ron Levy, to name a few.  But it was Duke that
really blew me away, with his T-Bone Walker licks and strong
vocals.  Long live the Blues....

doesn't look like a solo album :-)

Actually I have this and I'm not very fond of it. My favorite Tristano
solo piece is Descent into the Maelstrom, but unfortunately I think it's
one of a kind. (He's multitracked, and sounds a bit like Cecil Taylor.)

I'm interested in upgrading my tenor sax equipment; I am, presently, 
using a Pan American (vintage 1027) student model and I'm looking for
something a bit more modern.  As a beginner/intermediate player I'm
not sure it makes sense to leap to the Selmer Mark VI category, yet;
however, I believe I'm ready for something a bit better than my current
equipment.

I'd appreciate comments on the following two proposed plans of action
and any other commentary that would help me choose the right sax for
my current and future (probable) needs.

1.  Throw all caution to the wind; buy a Selmer VI ... if I can find
    one for under $$$$$$!

2.  Buy a used Beuscher (sp?) model 400; I know little to nothing of these
    but a few people I've spoken with speak highly of them.  What's
    the story on this sax?

3.  Buy a new Bundy (or another brand?).

There are two decent reasons why you might go with the Selmer VI:

	1) It is an excellent horn.
	2) In ten years, if you quit playing, your horn will have
appreciated in value, and you can sell for more than you bought it for. In
two years, I have seen the value of VI's go from ~$2600 up to closer to
$3000(tenor). Hence, I could sell my horn now, and come away with some
bucks.
