   I'm very sorry -- the book I have IS the Mingus book.  I apologize for
   my mistake (my mind is going).

   I am interested in a collection of Monk tunes, though, and if I can help to
   get it to happen, please let me know.

I bought this 'more than a fake book' on the recommendations
of Bass Player magazine, and was quite disappointed. It is
a fake book with a couple of pictures and that's all.
Nothing that makes it one iota more interesting
for a *bass player* as I had been led to believe.

I have a book of Oscar Pettiford solos. Does anyone know
of a Mingus book?

What kills me is how they say, "ok Branford, play a 15 second tribute
to Diz", which he did on Manteca, and then they cut him off so Leno can
do the "Elvis Presley" / "Amish Presley" skit, which had to be the
lamest skit that has ever gone on television, which is pretty lame at
its hottest.  Then later on they had Kenny G, which I didn't even stay to
watch.  But no doubt Kenny did two selections, right?

Well, I wouldn't consider myself a Baker-lover, whatever that is, but
I would recommend the volumes I think that were recently released on Emarcy
when he had his Paris quartet.  Volume 1 with Dick Twardzik is rather interesting if only to hear a sample of his distinctive piano.  

Volume 2 is also worth the price of admission with a great version of
Summertime by Baker and co.

I think these sets serve Baker well and he is in some of his finest form
on them.

37 minutes of recordings from the "Dave Brubeck at Carnegie Hall" appear
as four tracks (Pennies from Heaven (9:49), For All We Know (9:25),
Blue Rondo a la Turk 11:59, and Take five (6:15)) in the Sony CD

I was under the impression that these four tracks were the contents of the

Also, "Jazz Goes to College" is a 1954 date, while the Carnegie concert
dates from 1963.

Yes, it is wrong. The original album was a 2 LP set, a genreous (for those
days) 90 minutes or so, with the following cuts:

St Louis Blues
Bossa Nova USA
For All We Know
Pennies From Heaven
Southern Scene
Three to Get Ready
Eleven Four
King For A Day
Castillian Drums

The other night I heard  cut from a concert at Massey Hall in Toronto
(?).  Supposedly it is one of the best recordings of Dizzy ever.  Max
Roach, Charlie Mingus, and Charlie Parker (I think) were all there.  Can
anyone tell me if this concert is on CD and what it is called.  The

Cecil Taylor Segments II (Orchestra ot two Continents)

Title: Winged Serpent (Sliding Quandrants) - SoulNote 1089

Quite different than what Cecil sounds like in his usual context (a quartet, 
for example); his "piano as percussion instrument" approach is less evident
here (due to the larger band). Soloists include Enrico Rava, Jimmy Lyons, 
Frank Wright, John Tchicai, and Gunter Hampel; if you like Cecil, it's worth 
picking up IMHO....

I have to agree : Lovejoy is areally good cd, recently I bought a Stax cd
with I'll play the blues for you/ Love joy albums (2 on 1 cd). On I'll play
the blues for you - album (watch out: there also is an I'll play the blues for
you cd witch is a best of album [also pretty good]) there are also great songs, I love his version of I'll be doggone. On "Lovejoy" she left me a mule to ride
is also a great version of this song.

I discovered Albert King just a few weeks before he dead, but this album has
made many of days really good (great to wake up with). 

Warning : it's not at all like SRV, so , although ALBERT kING seems to have been one of his influences, it's certainly not the same.(I saw last year Buddy Guy: during a few of his songs people were shouting Stevie, sick !)

Yeah, but he has a point...a supposedly hip TV show still goes
for the lowest common denominator. I do believe that proponents
of any given art often have to educate and, to a degree, proseletize.
Guys like Dizzy and Ellington and Bu were effective, charming, respectful
proseletizers for the music (as opposed to typical self-marketing
types who are out for #1). 

Given the number of households the Tpnight Show reaches, a well-
produced 3-minute tribute could have pulled a lot of coats...

Woa, another great master passed.  1992 was a bad year for great musicians
passing,  and I was hoping 1993 would be better.

I remember when I first got into Diz when I was in high school.  I think he 
was the first one I got into on a serious level, I knew he was the core.
I knew he wasn't a superficial musician.  I am fortunate to have seen
him play 5 or 6 times, I think he probably heard me once because I was
playing in a band at one of the Montreux jazz festival bars, and he was
in the lobby signing his autobio,  but I never met him.

A friend of mine was once busking on Round Midnight in the Paris Metro
and Diz came by, he layed about 50 francs on him ($10) and invited him
to come and sit in down at the New Morning.  Diz was always a generous
cat, always helping musicians out.

A few years ago, I read an interview with Diz, and he was predicting that
a new form of jazz would be surfacing in five years.  "Those who get it
will get it, those who don't will be left behind" was all he was saying.
So one of the innovators is gone.  There should be someone replacing
him, but who is that going to be??????????????

(deletions)

Years ago I read a Giddins piece on harmolodics where he used "Theme From
a Symphony," from *Dancing In Your Head* as an example.  He said that the
players were spaced in fourths, in relation to each other, and that they
all improvised on the melody.  The spacing means that you `fit' no matter
what key you play in.  You are free to improvise on the melody at any
speed you want.

To try this out, listen to Prime Time and sing along.

Harmolodics seems to work as an organizing principle where musicians of
different genres and skill levels can play together.

Now it's been over ten years since I've seen Giddins' article, so don't
hold him responsible for the way I report it. :-)

I'm not sure anyone except Ornette himself can completely explain
harmolodics. I've read the Litweiler book, the Spellman book and
myriad articles, reviews etc. and all of them come up short on
explanations (even if they directly quote Ornette). One of the better
explanations that I read was given by Don Cherry: harmolodics is
"everyone solo all the time and stay out of each other's way" :-)
Another quotable explanation is: "the pattern for the tune will be
forgotten, the tune itself will become the pattern". There are more
music-theoretic explanations in Litweiler's book but they didn't help
me a whole lot. Besides I don't really listen to music in such
theoretical detail :-)

I did read that Ornette was writing a book which, among other things,
would explain his harmolodic theory but I don't think the book was
ever published.

Hmm...  I'm sorry, but I don't think of the Fab. T-Birds when I listen to

The Red Devils have an extremely raw sound and feel.  The T-Birds are

On another note, Kim Wilson of the aforementioned T-Birds has cut a solo
