    As well as After Hours, Gary has done another blues album called
Still Got the Blues. There's also a great video of the Still got the
Blues tour, whch features guest appearances and interviews with 
Albert King and Albert Collins. The playing on the video is even 
better than the the studio album.

	Here's a brief discography courtesy of my roommate. Sorry, the
song titles and Lable/track info is not included. This may not be complete,
but is a list of what my roommate has.

	With Colusseum.
		Colliseum II Strange New Flesh
	With Thin Lizzy
		Life (live)
		Black Rose.
	As Gary Moore.
		Grinding Stone
		Dirty Fingers
		White Knuckles
		Rocking Every Night( live in Japan)
		Back in the Streets
		Corridors of Power
		Victim of the Future
		We Want Moore (live) "Highly recommended!!"
		Run for Cover
		Wild Frontier

	There are also a lot of 12" singles I'll add if anyone's 
interested. Gary Moore is one of the most under rated guitar players 
around, and I'm happy to spread the word, as his record company
obviously can't be bothered.

Hmm, I've read an account or two of this, and I can't say as I remember the
fire ax, unless that is what Mingus and Juan Tizol chased each other around
with.  The actual "firing", as I recall, consisted of Duke politely asking
Mingus to quit, so he wouldn't have to fire anybody.

BTW, I agree completely with Bill's points about Miles' autobiography - but
remember, I said it was "entertaining", not necessarily "comprehensive" or even
especially "accurate".  Which was, I believe, what the original poster asked

He's not -- it's not one of the three tracks he's on.

Anyway, "Johnny Come Lately" is a very famous Billy Strayhorn tune
and it is probably in everybody's book.  For example, let's mention
once again that fantastic version by the Cecil Taylor quartet from
Newport (ca. 1957) with Steve "no relation" Lacy.

Where does the time go?  It's been 20 years since Ferris recorded with
Ellis.   For a recent checkup on the state of Ferris' art, I strongly
recommend THE PREACHER AND THE GHOST (Splasch 349) by Tiziano Tononi's
group Nexus (not to be confused with either the Canadain or Swedish
groups of the same name).  Folkish free-bop dedicated to Ayler
and Ornette.  Their earlier URBAN SHOUT (Splach 170) is also very
good.   Less Ferris there, but it is interesting to hear him play in a
more subdued manner.

Another name not mentioned is Conrad Herwig.  Probably most famous as a
member of the Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra, he has quite a few
albums out on the Ken label.  Two of them have recently received great
reviews in Cadence: THE AMULET and WITH EVERY BREATH.  I have the
latter, and find it to be a nice swinging date with Richie Beirach,
Adam Nussbaum, Ron McLure, and Jim Snidero.

George Lewis now teaches here at the University of California, San

and a class which I took called "Intro to Music Making", sort of a
hands-on course in making "new music". He's very funny and

Another great trombonist/professor here is Jimmy Cheatham, who was
with Count Basie a long time ago. He coleads Jimmy and Jeanie
Cheatham and the Sweet Baby Blues band.

I sometimes think so.   I also think that he went around and had people
tell their favorite Miles stories, and he would ask Miles to confirm or
deny, or give his interpretation.  I remember an interview with Cecil
Taylor in which he had a Bird and Miles story, sometime about a trumpet
player coming in and cutting Miles, and Bird razzing Miles about it, but
in Miles' autobio, he says he doesn't remember that.

BTW, as for the earlier references to Mingus, Duke Ellington's story on
him firing Mingus is hilarious.  Involved a fire axe.

I've always wondered how Ed Blackwell would have sounded with the 
Duke Ellington Orchestra on some of those exotic albums in the 60's and 70's
inspired by the band's trips around the world--FAR EAST SUITE,    
AFRO-EURASIAN ECLIPSE, and NEW ORLEANS SUITE.

It's also too bad Blackwell wasn't on Ornette's Caravan of Dreams double LP
set a few years back (Billy Higgins was the drummer).

You CAN find him on Ornette's THIS IS OUR MUSIC, ORNETTE!, and
ORNETTE ON TENOR on Atlantic.

On later recordings with David Murray, Dewey Redman, and Joe Lovano he 
makes you notice his unique drumming and how it works with the music.

We are lucky he survived and continued to play, despite his kidney problems.

This definitely has _NOT_ been my experience.  Double Time doesn't have many of
the recordings they advertise in their catalogs.  I waited over 6 months for 
one order and finally called up and was told that all the recordings were no 
longer available.  I've ordered from DT 3 times and received CDs from them 
only once (the one shipment I did receive was only about a 30% fill of 
that particular order).  I'd say if you can avoid DT, do it.  Their catalogs 
always look tempting, but their service is, in my experience, pretty terrible.

I would suggest you check out Rob McConnell, a valve trombonist from Canada.
His big band, "Rob McConnell & The Boss Brass", has recorded dozens of albums.
Ian McDougall, the lead trombonist from 1970 to 1983, wrote or arranged most 
of the songs they performed.  These early albums tend to feature one or more
trombone solos on each song.

McDougall currently lectures at University of British Columbia.  A few years
ago, he formed new group, "The Brass Connection", a trombone quintet with
rhythm section.  Their first album of the same name featured Watrous, Jiggs
Whiggam, and Carl Fontana playing good jazz music.

I strongly suggest to you, or anyone with an interest in brass music, jazz or 
classical, to contact:

    T.A.P. Music Sales
    662 Riverdale Street
    West Springfield, MA  01089

Ask them to send you a catalog.  They stock nearly every trombone recording
in print.  Good service, fair prices, and an awesome selection!  Please let
them know that I suggested them.

A couple of years ago I stayed in Toronto for one year; I remember that 
I used to listen to a radio called CJRT (103 MHz, I think) that  was IMHO
absolutely fantastic: *no commercials at all* (the radio is funded by the
Ontario government, by a few non-intrusive sponsors and by individual
donations), jazz music (about 60% of the day), classical music (about
30%) and educational programs (10%).  The DJs were absolutely competent,
especially those dealing with the jazz section.  I miss CJRT very much.

Marc is an excellent pianist with interesting harmonic ideas and a great
ability to react musically "in the moment."  He played with my group at our
most recent concert at St. Peter's Church in New York city, and he and I are
on a not-yet-released recording with Glenn Wilson's Quintet.

I don't have a list of his recordings, but he's got some as a leader, as well
as numerous sideman dates (e.g. with Bob Belden on Sunnyside and, I think,
Blue Note).

Incidentally, he changed his last name from Cohen to Copland fairly recently
(I don't know why) after recording under the former name for many years.
Also, he mentioned to me that he will be doing a European tour this Fall --
sorry Gareth, don't know for sure if he will get to the U.K.

One piece of trivia -- I first heard Marc on a recording called "Friends,"
issued around 1970.  It was by a group he led with John Abercrombie, Clint 
Houston, and Jeff Williams, with Marc playing "electic sax"!

While I agree that most Tower/HMV/etc. have ignorant (often dumb --
they'd fail high school arithmetic) salescritters Tower Village has
some truly knowledgeable people. Specifically, if you go there during
the week look up my pal Spencer Richards - ex-JCOA, photographer,
raconteur and writer -- he wrote the liners to Cecil Taylor's LIVE IN
VIENNA (Leo, 1988). When I quoted Richard Cook on Cecil: "Count Basie
on mescaline" he promptly replied: "more like Art Tatum on speed" ;-).  
If you are ever there talk to him about the music or anything
else -- especially the fine game of cricket :-)
