Tania is from Brazil, and sings and plays accordingly.  Not mellow bossa nova
stuff; but more of a hard driving Brazilian-jazz-pop style.  She's a fairly
decent pianist, and often sings along with her solos a la George Benson.  I
enjoy much of her stuff; some of it is too pop-y for my tastes, though.

Make that Curtis Fuller, Mulgrew Miller, and Louis Hayes.  Golson and Fuller
were active in the bop and hard-bop scenes in the 50-60's, Golson writing
classics like "Killer Joe" and "Whisper Not" and playing in the Jazz
Messengers, as well as co-founding the Jazztet with Art Farmer.  Fuller's main
claim to fame these days is his appearance on Coltrane's "Blue Train"; a
trombonist friend of mine says that that was miles above anything else she's
ever heard from him.

The rhythm section should be solid and swinging, if unspectacular.

Someone else will have to give you the low down on this group, since I've
never heard them together.  However, having heard most of the players
individually, definitely expect something freer and more avant-garde.  Most
of these guys are serious giants of the last twenty years, but are extremely
eclectic - it's hard to know exactly what to expect.

No clue on these guys.  Is Steve Williamson the Kenny Garrett clone who played

Bob Berg is kind of a Michael Brecker clone, if that means anything to you -
a sort of high energy "straightahead fusion", which probably means even less.
This particular group should be kind of interesting even for non-fans of Berg,
since it is sparser than you may be used to.

Definitely get all of the recordings during the perion when 'Trane was in
the group: some of Miles' best playing, definitely some of 'Trane's best
and baby what a rhythm section! 'Round About Midnight; Relaxin'; Working

If I remember correctly, the movie was "Diner", an early '80s flick starring Mickey
Rourke, among others.  I believe that they were in a strip bar for a bachelor's
party when the song started.  One of the guys took the stage, dancing and
lip-synching.

Can't go wrong with Kind of Blue, but also good(ie Spectacular) are Sketches of Spain,
Miles Smiles, Bitches Brew. These are all varied but still aren't too far from

There are two good tablature books both containing at least one version of
every song Robert Johnson recorded.  They are both basically called The
Complete Robert Johnson.  One has a photograph of RJ on the cover and the other
( by Woody Mann) has a drawing of RJ.  I purchased the Woody Mann book because
I can't play country blues as good as RJ and I felt this book was easier to
learn the basic style from.  Instead of notating every little bump of the string
it gives the essence of each song by notating one verse and any different parts
of the song.  The only problem with this is that all of the lyrics aren't
listed, but if you by the Complete Robert Johnson on compact disc you will 
get all of the lyrics to all of the songs.  The more in depth tab book gives
every verse and all the lyrics along with alternate versions that RJ recorded.
If you are interested in playing this type of music I would try to take a look
at both books to decide which is the best for you.

Hey, all.

So, I picked up two CD's recently.  The Howlin' Wolf London Sessions
and the Library of Congress' Son House Recordings.  The two men have
very different styles, but they are both playing the blues.  Son House
was playing a country/rural blues, while Howlin' Wolf plays a more
urban/Chicago blues.  I was wondering where and why this transition
in the blues form occurred...  Any comments?

That's the way I play that scale, but I always get a lot of funny looks for
not fingering the last 2 notes as 12 1 (like in the lower octave). My Jr.
High teacher, a clarinetist, told me I could use any fingering that was in
tune in that register. I guess that I was lazy and opted for the least 
number of valves. I thought it was great to be able to play a scale with no
valves. After all, baroque trumpet music was written for valveless trumpets.
Valved trumpets weren't around until the early 1800's. On my current horn,
I play high D open and high E 12. It just sounds more in tune that way.

I had an interesting experience with the harmonic series last week. I was at
Expo 92 in Seville, Spain. The Switzerland pavillion had some plastic 
alpenhorns outside. I think the length corresponds more to a trombone than a
trumpet as I felt most comfortable in the range where I could play a major
scale onthe thing. Dixie on an Alpenhorn!!

Exactly.  Where does he get off saying world music is a "hoax"?  Gee, Keith-
when's the last time you listened to your own "Spirits" album?  A contemporary
american musician dabbling with scores of folk instruments and making some
kind of ersatz "spiritual" music is hardly immune from being put in his hoax
category.  Note: I *own* spirits and I *like* it, but if Jarrett's going to
make those kind of statements then I'd have to make the same criticisms of his
music.  As much as I enjoy the recordings, I could call "Arbour Zena" or "The
Survivor's Suite" new age Jell-O.

The video's out; my local Tower (Cambridge, MA) has it. I didn't buy it,
but it's on the someday-when-there's-just-nothing-else-in-the-store list.
It's a BBC documentary that interviews a number of people influenced by
Johnson. Dunno much more about it, but like I say, it didn't look so
interesting that I felt I had to have it right then and there.

Subject: Help Me Choose Songs!

Organization: Microsoft Corporation


Hi - I've got a band together and we're trying to focus on playing funk
and r&b tunes. To give you an idea of what type of stuff we are gearing
towards, I've put the songlist below.  I would really appreciate some
help from all of you to help me pick some more songs along this vein:

Thank You Forlettinme Be Mice Elf Agin - Sly and Family Stone 
Use Me - Bill Withers 
Superstitious - Stevie Wonder
Don't Change Horses - Tower of Power
Couldn't Stand the Weather - Stevie Ray Vaughn
You Haven't Done Nothin' - Stevie Wonder
I Shot the Sheriff - Eric Clapton version 
Goin Down - Freddie King 
Feelin Alright - Joe Cocker version 
Mustang Sally - mix of Commitments/Buddy Guy version 
Got to Find My Baby - Johnny Winter 
Life Is Hard - Johnny Winter
Something Up My Sleeve - BB King 
Walk the Dinosaur - Was Not Was (A lot more modern, but we like it)

I know everyone has a different definition of funk!  The type we are
looking for is stuff that we think will mesh well with the R&B tunes (I
think Tower of Power is a good example, although we've got no horns yet).
As far as R&B tunes go, I think we've decided to stay away from the
"swing/shuffle" type of blues, and gear a little more towards progressive
R&B.

We are definately not stuck on learning tunes "that everyone knows" (but
do want to include them in our set), but more rare gems also - the kind
people will say "Wow I haven't heard that before/in a long time - that's
cool!"

Feel free to post if you think more ideas can be generated from it,
otherwise a "R"eply would probably be best (I don't want to start *too*
boring a thread!)

Thanks in advance!
