Miles Davis quotKind of Bluequot Six Eye Columbia Records - White Lettering on Black Background - Vinyl LP

foxmusic — Mon, 11 May 2009 01:21:00 MDT

Miles Davis quotKind of Bluequot Six Eye Columbia Records - White Lettering on Black Background - Vinyl LP - JAZZ-LpMilesDavisKindOfBlue.jpg

Kind of Blue isn't merely an artistic highlight for Miles Davis it's an album that towers above its peers a record generally considered as the definitive jazz album a universally acknowledged standard of excellence Why does Kind of Blue posses such a mystique Perhaps because this music never flaunts its genius It lures listeners in with the slow luxurious bassline and gentle piano chords of So What From that moment on the record never really changes pace -- each tune has a similar relaxed feel as the music flows easily Yet Kind of Blue is more than easy listening It's the pinnacle of modal jazz -- tonality and solos build from the overall key not chord changes giving the music a subtly shifting quality All of this doesn't quite explain why seasoned jazz fans return to this record even after they've memorized every nuance They return because this is an exceptional band -- Miles Coltrane Bill Evans Cannonball Adderley Paul Chambers Jimmy Cobb -- one of the greatest in history playing at the peak of its power As Evans said in the original liner notes for the record the band did not play through any of these pieces prior to recording Davis laid out the themes before the tape rolled and then the band improvised The end results were wondrous and still crackle with vitality Kind of Blue works on many different levels It can be played as background music yet it amply rewards close listening It is advanced music that is extraordinarily enjoyable It may be a stretch to say that if you don't like Kind of Blue you don't like jazz -- but it's hard to imagine it as anything other than a cornerstone of any jazz collectionnThroughout a professional career lasting 50 years Miles Davis played the trumpet in a lyrical introspective and melodic style often employing a stemless Harmon mute to make his sound more personal and intimate But if his approach to his instrument was constant his approach to jazz was dazzlingly protean To examine his career is to examine the history of jazz from the mid-'40s to the early '90s since he was in the thick of almost every important innovation and stylistic development in the music during that period and he often led the way in those changes both with his own performances and recordings and by choosing sidemen and collaborators who forged new directions It can even be argued that jazz stopped evolving when Davis wasn't there to push it forwardnnDavis was the son of a dental surgeon Dr Miles Dewey Davis Jr and a music teacher Cleota Mae (Henry) Davis and thus grew up in the black middle class of east St Louis after the family moved there shortly after his birth He became interested in music during his childhood and by the age of 12 began taking trumpet lessons While still in high school he started to get jobs playing in local bars and at 16 was playing gigs out of town on weekends At 17 he joined Eddie Randle's Blue Devils a territory band based in St Louis He enjoyed a personal apotheosis in 1944 just after graduating from high school when he saw and was allowed to sit in with Billy Eckstine's big band who was playing in St Louis The band featured trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and saxophonist Charlie Parker the architects of the emerging bebop style of jazz which was characterized by fast inventive soloing and dynamic rhythm variations It is striking that Davis fell so completely under Gillespie and Parker's spell since his own slower and less flashy style never really compared to theirs But bebop was the new sound of the day and the young trumpeter was bound to follow it He did so by leaving the Midwest to attend the Institute of Musical Art in New York City (renamed Juilliard) in September 1944 Shortly after his arrival in Manhattan he was playing in clubs with Parker and by 1945 he had abandoned his academic studies for a full-time career as a jazz musician initially joining Benny Carter's band and making his first recordings as a sideman He played with Eckstine in 1946-1947 and was a member of Parker's group in 1947-1948 making his recording debut as a leader on a 1947 session that featured Parker pianist John Lewis bassist Nelson Boyd and drummer Max Roach This was an isolated date however and Davis spent most of his time playing and recording behind Parker But in the summer of 1948 he organized a nine-piece band with an unusual horn section In addition to himself it featured an alto saxophone a baritone saxophone a trombone a French horn and a tuba This nonet employing arrangements by Gil Evans and others played for two weeks at the Royal Roost in New York in September Earning a contract with Capitol Records the band went into the studio in January 1949 for the first of three sessions which produced 12 tracks that attracted little attention at first The band's relaxed sound however affected the musicians who played it among them Kai Winding Lee Konitz Gerry Mulligan John Lewis JJ Johnson and Kenny Clarke and it had a profound influence on the development of the cool jazz style on the West Coast In February 1957 Capitol finally issued the tracks together on an LP called Birth of the Cool Davis meanwhile had moved on to co-leading a band with pianist Tadd Dameron in 1949 and the group took him out of the country for an appearance at the Paris Jazz Festival in May But the trumpeter's progress was impeded by an addiction to heroin that plagued him in the early '50s His performances and recordings became more haphazard but in January 1951 he began a long series of recordings for the Prestige label that became his main recording outlet for the next several years He managed to kick his habit by the middle of the decade and he made a strong impression playing 'Round Midnight at the Newport Jazz Festival in July 1955 a performance that led the major label Columbia Records to sign him The prestigious contract allowed him to put together a permanent band and he organized a quintet featuring saxophonist John Coltrane pianist Red Garland bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones who began recording his Columbia debut 'Round About Midnight in October As it happened however he had a remaining five albums on his Prestige contract and over the next year he was forced to alternate his Columbia sessions with sessions for Prestige to fulfill this previous commitment The latter resulted in the Prestige albums The New Miles Davis Quintet Cookin' Workin' Relaxin' and Steamin' making Davis' first quintet one of his better-documented outfits In May 1957 just three months after Capitol released the Birth of the Cool LP Davis again teamed with arranger Gil Evans for his second Columbia LP Miles Ahead Playing flgelhorn Davis fronted a big band on music that extended the Birth of the Cool concept and even had classical overtones Released in 1958 the album was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame intended to honor recordings made before the Grammy Awards were instituted in 1959 In December 1957 Davis returned to Paris where he improvised the background music for the film L'Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud (Escalator to the Gallows) Jazz Track an album containing this music earned him a 1960 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Performance Solo or Small Group He added saxophonist Cannonball Adderley to his group creating the Miles Davis Sextet who recorded the album Milestones in April 1958 Shortly after this recording Red Garland was replaced on piano by Bill Evans and Jimmy Cobb took over for Philly Joe Jones on drums In July Davis again collaborated with Gil Evans and an orchestra on an album of music from Porgy and Bess Back in the sextet Davis began to experiment with modal playing basing his improvisations on scales rather than chord changes This led to his next band recording Kind of Blue in March and April 1959 an album that became a landmark in modern jazz and the most popular disc of Davis' career eventually selling over two million copies a phenomenal success for a jazz record In sessions held in November 1959 and March 1960 Davis again followed his pattern of alternating band releases and collaborations with Gil Evans recording Sketches of Spain containing traditional Spanish music and original compositions in that style The album earned Davis and Evans Grammy nominations in 1960 for Best Jazz Performance Large Group and Best Jazz Composition More Than 5 minutes they won in the latter categorynnBy the time Davis returned to the studio to make his next band album in March 1961 Adderley had departed Wynton Kelly had replaced Bill Evans at the piano and John Coltrane had left to begin his successful solo career being replaced by saxophonist Hank Mobley (following the brief tenure of Sonny Stitt) Nevertheless Coltrane guested on a couple of tracks of the album called Someday My Prince Will Come The record made the pop charts in March 1962 but it was preceded into the bestseller lists by the Davis quintet's next recording the two-LP set Miles Davis in Person (Friday Saturday Nights at the Blackhawk San Francisco) recorded in April The following month Davis recorded another live show as he and his band were joined by an orchestra led by Gil Evans at Carnegie Hall in May The resulting Miles Davis at Carnegie Hall was his third LP to reach the pop charts and it earned Davis and Evans a 1962 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Performance by a Large Group Instrumental Davis and Evans teamed up again in 1962 for what became their final collaboration Quiet Nights The album was not issued until 1964 when it reached the charts and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Large Group or Soloist with Large Group In 1996 Columbia Records released a six-CD box set Miles Davis Gil Evans: The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings that won the Grammy for Best Historical Album Quiet Nights was preceded into the marketplace by Davis' next band effort Seven Steps to Heaven recorded in the spring of 1963 with an entirely new lineup consisting of saxophonist George Coleman pianist Victor Feldman bassist Ron Carter and drummer Frank Butler During the sessions Feldman was replaced by Herbie Hancock and Butler by Tony Williams The album found Davis making a transition to his next great group of which Carter Hancock and Williams would be members It was another pop chart entry that earned 1963 Grammy nominations for both Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Soloist or Small Group and Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Large Group The quintet followed with two live albums Miles Davis in Europe recorded in July 1963 which made the pop charts and earned a 1964 Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Small Group or Soloist with Small Group and My Funny Valentine recorded in February 1964 and released in 1965 when it reached the pop charts By September 1964 the final member of the classic Miles Davis Quintet of the 1960s was in place with the addition of saxophonist Wayne Shorter to the team of Davis Carter Hancock and Williams While continuing to play standards in concert this unit embarked on a series of albums of original compositions contributed by the band members starting in January 1965 with ESP followed by Miles Smiles (1967 Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Small Group or Soloist with Small Group 7 or Fewer) Sorcerer Nefertiti Miles in the Sky (1968 Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Small Group or Soloist with Small Group) and Filles de Kilimanjaro By the time of Miles in the Sky the group had begun to turn to electric instruments presaging Davis' next stylistic turn By the final sessions for Filles de Kilimanjaro in September 1968 Hancock had been replaced by Chick Corea and Carter by Dave Holland But Hancock along with pianist Joe Zawinul and guitarist John McLaughlin participated on Davis' next album In a Silent Way (1969) which returned the trumpeter to the pop charts for the first time in four years and earned him another small-group jazz performance Grammy nomination With his next album Bitches Brew Davis turned more overtly to a jazz-rock style Though certainly not conventional rock music Davis' electrified sound attracted a young non-jazz audience while putting off traditional jazz fans Bitches Brew released in March 1970 reached the pop Top 40 and became Davis' first album to be certified gold It also earned a Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Arrangement and won the Grammy for large-group jazz performance He followed it with such similar efforts as Miles Davis at Fillmore East (1971 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Performance by a Group) A Tribute to Jack Johnson Live-Evil On the Corner and In Concert all of which reached the pop charts Meanwhile Davis' former sidemen became his disciples in a series of fusion groups: Corea formed Return to Forever Shorter and Zawinul led Weather Report and McLaughlin and former Davis drummer Billy Cobham organized the Mahavishnu Orchestra Starting in October 1972 when he broke his ankles in a car accident Davis became less active in the early '70s and in 1975 he gave up recording entirely due to illness undergoing surgery for hip replacement later in the year Five years passed before he returned to action by recording The Man With the Horn in 1980 and going back to touring in 1981 By now he was an elder statesman of jazz and his innovations had been incorporated into the music at least by those who supported his eclectic approach He was also a celebrity whose appeal extended far beyond the basic jazz audience He performed on the worldwide jazz festival circuit and recorded a series of albums that made the pop charts including We Want Miles (1982 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance by a Soloist) Star People Decoy and You're Under Arrest In 1986 after 30 years with Columbia he switched to Warner Bros Records and released Tutu which won him his fourth Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance Aura an album he had recorded in 1984 was released by Columbia in 1989 and brought him his fifth Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance by a Soloist (on a Jazz Recording) Davis surprised jazz fans when on July 8 1991 he joined an orchestra led by Quincy Jones at the Montreux Jazz Festival to perform some of the arrangements written for him in the late '50s by Gil Evans he had never previously looked back at an aspect of his career He died of pneumonia respiratory failure and a stroke within months Doo-Bop his last studio album appeared in 1992 It was a collaboration with rapper Easy Mo Bee and it won a Grammy for Best Rhythm Blues Instrumental Performance with the track Fantasy nominated for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo Released in 1993 Miles Quincy Live at Montreux won Davis his seventh Grammy for Best Large Jazz Ensemble PerformancennMiles Davis took an all-inclusive constantly restless approach to jazz that had begun to fall out of favor by the time of his death even as it earned him controversy during his lifetime It was hard to recognize the bebop acolyte of Charlie Parker in the flamboyantly dressed leader with the hair extensions who seemed to keep one foot on a wah-wah pedal and one hand on an electric keyboard in his later years But he did much to popularize jazz reversing the trend away from commercial appeal that bebop began And whatever the fripperies and explorations he retained an ability to play moving solos that endeared him to audiences and demonstrated his affinity with tradition At a time when jazz is inclining toward academia and repertory orchestras rather than moving forward he is a reminder of the music's essential quality of boundless invention using all available means

Discarded as rubbish or accidentally lost she finds them irresistible and adorns herself with them Obviously because she is very tiny the objects are depicted larger than life I had great fun deciding which objects may have been discarded by humans and would be small enough and interesting enough for a fairy to collect As you can see there are many items from safety pins and paper clips to stamps and a bottle top changed from the original wording Dry to read Fey obviously she felt it was more appropriate in addition to many forest items such as acorns and oak leaves she has nuts for rings and of course last Christmas's broken 'fairy' light bulbs for earringsNot a traditional fairy but rather a streetwise' happy-go-lucky modern fairy Josephine

H3artBr0kenR0se 3:27 PM: Aiko nodded a bit and sat down feeling off Her heart started going into a weird rythym Instead of a straight du-kun there was an extra beat Du-du-kunDu-du-kenDu-du-kun

was beating quick than the other She started hardening her blood to try to make it stop Her heart slowed down as it struggled against the mollasses-thick blood but kept the extra beat

Sirdrink13309622 4:24 PM: (Can I continue with the last post) H3artBr0kenR0se 4:25 PM: She kept thickening her blood until it was nearly solid dudukundudukundu Silence She squeezed her eyes shut and leaned against a tree still upright H3artBr0kenR0se is away at 4:26 PM H3artBr0kenR0se returned at 4:26 PM H3artBr0kenR0se is away at 4:26 PM H3artBr0kenR0se 4:26 PM: GOtta walk dog be back about 15

heartbeat was quiet and slo but it was there DukunDukunDukun H3artBr0kenR0se 4:54 PM: slow Sirdrink13309622 4:57 PM: Your heart's back to normal H3artBr0kenR0se 4:59 PM: She exhaled and leaned back against the tree behind her When she finally breathed in her heart's pace returned to normal as well at least normal for her back up to around 90 bpm Sirdrink13309622 5:01 PM: OK How did you get your heart back to normal H3artBr0kenR0se 5:03 PM: She took in a couple deep breath then looked at him and said BasicallyI just stopped it by solidifying my blood sothe irregular electrical impulses wouldstopthus fixing the problem Sirdrink13309622 5:16 PM: That's good Cymis said Now can you show me another thing you can do with your blood H3artBr0kenR0se 5:20 PM: Well Aiko bit her finger hard enough to make it bleed and forced blood out of it Once there was about a 4 innch sphere of blood she made it float around her in circles Then the sphere separated into the shapes of shuriken and became solid Sirdrink13309622 5:28 PM: That is neat Cymis said H3artBr0kenR0se 5:29 PM: She smiled a bit and the shuriken flew forward embedding into a tree in front on her in the shape of a star Sirdrink13309622 5:36 PM: Had you used that attack before H3artBr0kenR0se 5:37 PM: YesSeveral times Sirdrink13309622 5:58 PM: So are you thinking of something H3artBr0kenR0se 5:58 PM: Ummsort of As she thought for a minute the tree with the shuriken in it turned into her mother then back to a tree Sirdrink13309622 6:02 PM: Cymis saw the tree That tree turned into some woman H3artBr0kenR0se 6:02 PM: My mom Aiko said as she stood up Sirdrink13309622 6:03 PM: Why did that tree turn into your mother H3artBr0kenR0se 6:04 PM: She's who I think of to make sure I hit every time Sirdrink13309622 6:04 PM: Why would you think of her every time you hit H3artBr0kenR0se 6:06 PM: Aiko sighed To be honestI hate her stinking guts Sirdrink13309622 6:08 PM: Heh Cymis said H3artBr0kenR0se 6:09 PM: Hmm She looked at him Sirdrink13309622 6:14 PM: Just wondering that you could have ill feelings about your mother Cymis said H3artBr0kenR0se 6:15 PM: I don't see why I should like herShe left my father with me and my 3 year old brother when I was two and went off to marry some man from a host club H3artBr0kenR0se 6:18 PM: I have to go for now See you later Sirdrink13309622 6:19 PM: (OK Bye)

should like herShe left my father with me and my 3 year old brother when I was two and went off to marry some man from a host club n Sirdrink13309622 5:05 PM: I see Cymis said n H3artBr0kenR0se 5:06 PM: She nodded a bit and looked around not saying anything else n Sirdrink13309622 5:07 PM: So can I travel in your real heart n H3artBr0kenR0se 5:07 PM: If you can figure out how togo ahead n Sirdrink13309622 5:08 PM: Cymis then went deeper into the forest and found a door into her real heart n Sirdrink13309622 5:09 PM: (Can you describe the heart) n H3artBr0kenR0se 5:09 PM: Sure n H3artBr0kenR0se 5:11 PM: Aiko's heart was very small for someone her size There didn't appear to be much else wrong with it except the wall on the right sdie of her heart was bowwed out a bit n Sirdrink13309622 5:12 PM: I see that your heart had bowed out n H3artBr0kenR0se 5:13 PM: The copy of Aiko inside of herself disappeared Understandable n Sirdrink13309622 5:14 PM: Why is it that your heart is bowed out n H3artBr0kenR0se 5:15 PM: Probably becausethe extra beats that happenpushes extra blood against it and it stretches n Sirdrink13309622 5:16 PM: OK Now can I see you stop your heart again by hardening your blood n H3artBr0kenR0se 5:18 PM: Ummsure I guess After a second her blood got to the consitency of molasses again n Sirdrink13309622 5:19 PM: (Can you describe what happens inside her circulatory system and the sounds during the process of hardening her blood) n H3artBr0kenR0se 5:19 PM: Yeah One min though Brb n Sirdrink13309622 5:21 PM: (OK Tell me when you're back) n H3artBr0kenR0se is away at 5:36 PM n H3artBr0kenR0se returned at 6:14 PM n H3artBr0kenR0se 6:18 PM: I'm back n Sirdrink13309622 6:19 PM: (OK Now can you describe what happens inside her circulatory system and the sounds during the process of hardening her bloodCan you describe what happens inside her circulatory system and the sounds during the process of hardening her blood) n H3artBr0kenR0se 6:20 PM: Yeah n Sirdrink13309622 6:23 PM: (Are you there) n H3artBr0kenR0se 6:25 PM: As her blood began to harden her veins stiffened as well moving closer to her skin so they were visible With each second her heart slowed in its struggle against the blood the valves closing less also This made more of a whoosing sound with each beat instead of the usual sharp du-kun n Sirdrink13309622 6:35 PM: Wow Cymis said n H3artBr0kenR0se 6:40 PM: After another minute the valves froze open and the rest of her heart stopped moving as well n Sirdrink13309622 6:42 PM: (How's Aiko acting now) n H3artBr0kenR0se 6:43 PM: She stumbled side to side a bit a look of pain on her face She'd never done it this close together before She fought to stay conscious despite the stop in blood flow n Sirdrink13309622 6:48 PM: What's going on by the look on your face n H3artBr0kenR0se 6:49 PM: She tried to speak but found it hard to move or even breathe from the hardened blood vessels n Sirdrink13309622 6:50 PM: What happened to her vocal cords n H3artBr0kenR0se 6:51 PM: A second later she fell to the floor limp n Sirdrink13309622 6:56 PM: Cymis then rushed to her He then checked on her condition n H3artBr0kenR0se 6:58 PM: Her heart was still stopped the valves cloggedup almost like they were surrounded by tar She'd tried to do it for too long this time n Sirdrink13309622 6:59 PM: Cymis then went to revive her by sending some electricity into her heart n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:01 PM: Without her command her blood started goin to back to normal and the shock started it again There was a definite murmur to her heartbeat from the valves stretching n Sirdrink13309622 7:02 PM: (How does Aiko act now) n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:03 PM: She was still unconscious but the look of pain on her face slowly went away n Sirdrink13309622 7:04 PM: Cymis then said Can you look up at me n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:05 PM: Aiko's eyes cracked open and she fought to get them to focus though not having much success n Sirdrink13309622 7:06 PM: (Can you describe her vision as if there is a POV camera shot) n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:07 PM: She saw two of Cymis both of them shifting side to side as she looked up at him n Sirdrink13309622 7:10 PM: (Like as a camera had entered her eyes how was her mind like during her collapse and revival) n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:12 PM: When she first fell over the light in the room dimmed and everything lost its bright colors going into black and white When Cymis brought her back everythign returned to the way it was except for being a bit less bright n Sirdrink13309622 7:15 PM: Cymis smiled Are you okay n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:16 PM: She gave a slight smile back and nodded sitting up slowly n Sirdrink13309622 7:19 PM: So do you not want to do that again n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:20 PM: I'mpretty sureit's a good idea not to n Sirdrink13309622 7:23 PM: Cymis then looked at Aiko So what's next to do n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:23 PM: She shrugged and stood up leaning against the wall a bit n Sirdrink13309622 7:25 PM: Cymis then blinked Can you take me back into your mind n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:25 PM: She paused a second then nodded Dunno how you got in the first time but n Sirdrink13309622 7:29 PM: Cymis then pointed to the door n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:30 PM: Right She concentrated and opened the door n Sirdrink13309622 7:32 PM: Cymis then walked up back into Aiko's mind n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:33 PM: The bright greens and purples were dulled It almost looked like everything was coated in grey n Sirdrink13309622 7:34 PM: Why is your mind still greyish n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:35 PM: Wellum Her mind was still in a haze from oxygen deprivation n Sirdrink13309622 7:36 PM: Well can you take a deep breath in to get some oxygen back into you n Sirdrink13309622 7:38 PM: (Are you there) n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:39 PM: She nodded a bit and took in a deep breath After a moment the scene regained its full color n Sirdrink13309622 7:39 PM: So your mind's back to normal n H3artBr0kenR0se 7:39 PM: Okaygood n Sirdrink13309622 7:40 PM: Now can I see out your eyes in your mind n Sirdrink13309622 7:44 PM: (Are you there) n Sirdrink13309622 7:53 PM: (Hello) n

Lenny Bruce the Carnegie Hall Concert

foxmusic — Fri, 10 May 2013 14:30:00 MDT

Lenny Bruce the Carnegie Hall Concert - Lenny_Bruce_the_Carnegie_Hall_Co-3.jpg

Born on October 13 1925 in what was then rural Bellmore Long Island there really wasn't much in Leonard Alfred Schneider's background that might have made one foresee the the acid-tongued hipster who would shake the American night of the fifties and sixties as forcibly as he did with his brilliant and biting satire He first burst upon the national consciousness in the spring of 1959 with two riotous appearances on the Steve Allen Show There had never been a comedian like him before: He was handsome smart and as hip as they come A real finger snapping urban bon vivant A combination sage rabbi and verbal kamikaze Lenny Bruce was the real thing The facets of his psychological make up including his all-too-obvious personal vulnerabilities were there for all the world to behold bravely exhibited on the nightclub stage That he was a troubled tormented soul there can be no doubt Unhappiness and insecurity dogged him his entire life Close friends would remember him as a basically sad and lonely man But damn When he walked on stage he was funny Jim Screamingly funnyIn the placid 1950s era of Eisenhower I Love Lucy and hoola-hoops the American establishment (to no one's surprise) wasn't ready for the kind of honesty that Lenny was presenting to the public Walter Winchell branded him America's Number One Vomic In late 1958 Time Magazine would crown him the sickest of the sick comedians Rather than dismiss this affront outright Lenny in typical Lenny fashion embraced it The cover photo for his first album The Sick Humor of Lenny Bruce portrayed him having a picnic in a cemetery How's that for moxie That same LP included a classic bit called Religions Incorporated which depicted a fast talking Hollywood booking agent talking on the phone to his client the newly ordained Pope John XXIII: HELLO JOHNNY WHAT'S SHAKIN' BABY Yeah the puff of white smoke knocked me out I got'cha booked for the Sullivan Show on the nineteenth Oh did ya dig Spellman on 'Stars Of Jazz' OK sweetie Yeah right You cool it too Nah nobody know's you're JewishWhile that type of humor might be considered tame by the anything goes standards of 2006 in 1958 it was positively revolutionaryFor three golden years he was cooking appearing as a headliner in the top clubs across the nation When he opened at Mister Kelly's in Chicago crowds were lining up around the block to see him According to his biographer Albert Goldman word had reached the windy city that this new young comic was sensational On February 3 1961 he actually did a gig at Carnegie Hall Carnegie Hall Even he couldn't believe it: Maybe the people who own this place don't even know we're here He speculated that the entire audience had been admitted into the hall by a good and corrupt janitor: 'Alright just don't make no noise and clean up after you're finished alright' Alright That night the Island of Manhattan was blanketed by one of the worst blizzards in its history All bridges and tunnels leading into and out of the city were shut down Every street in town was closed to traffic - and yet somehow Lenny was able to pack his people into a concert that didn't begin until after midnight It was a Standing Room Only performance that the old gang at Lindy's still talk about Fortunately the entire evening was preserved on tape and is available today on CD Lenny Bruce At Carnegie Hall is the greatest performance of his all-too-brief careerSeven months after Carnegie Hall in the autumn of 1961 the arrests started On September 29th Lenny was arrested in his Philadelphia hotel room for possession of drugs for which he had a prescription Five days later on October 4th he was busted at the Jazz Workshop in San Fransisco for obscenity Although he was eventually acquitted on both counts the pattern had begun The persecution would continue for the rest of his lifeDuring the next three years he would be busted nineteen times on various obscenity and narcotics charges Law enforcement agencies across the country pursued him with a relentlessness normally reserved for rapists and mass murderers It got to the point where he was spending more time (and money) in court defending himself than he was onstage exhibiting his genius as a performer before an audience of appreciative fans By the late winter of 1964 his dependence on drugs particularly heroin was starting to take a noticeable toll on his appearance and his health In addition to that he gained too much weight as a result of poor eating habits In short he was falling apart In an effort to save his career he became obsessed with the intricacies of the American Legal system As his act started to transform itself from a surreal verbal roller coaster ride into a comically inspired lecture on the law he began to alienate his audienceI'm sorry if I wasn't very funny tonight I'm not a comedian I'm Lenny BruceBecause a conviction would have resulted in a nightclub owner losing his liquor license offers for work eventually dwindled down to nothing His home became subject to numerous late night raids by the LA vice squad One officer expecting to find him engaged in drug use instead found him calmly listening to a record of John Phillip Sousa marches which curiously in addition to jazz he had a passion forThen came the arrest which would destroy him On April 4 1964 he was busted at the Cafe Au Go-Go in New York City for giving a lewd and indecent performance What had bugged the NY District Attorney Frank Hogan was Lenny's description of Jackie Kennedy during the assassination of the late president Life Magazine had described the former first lady hurling herself onto the trunk of the presidential limousine by saying that she was courageously trying to help the secret serviceman aboard Bullshit said Lenny Bruce She was trying to haul ass to save her assThe ensuing trial would end in his ruin as a man and as an artist In 1960 his yearly income had been over 350000 per year By October of 1965 it had fallen to under 4000 Shortly thereafter he was found guilty of obscenity in a New York court of law and sentenced to four months in jail In the summer of 1965 his act was filmed at the Basin Street West in San Francisco Viewing the film today it is disturbingly obvious that Lenny Bruce while still hysterically funny is a broken dying manOn the morning of August 3 1966 while his New York conviction was still under appeal he received in the mail a foreclosure notice on his house from the Bank of America Later that evening he was found dead in his upstairs bathroom a hypodermic needle still embedded in his arm For the next several hours the Los Angeles Police against the anguished protests of his friends and his mother allowed photographers from newspapers and television to step up take photos and film of his naked bloated body lying lifeless on the cold tile floor He was forty years oldOn December 23 2003 he became the first person in the history of the state of New York to have his conviction overturned posthumously Better late than never I suppose And yet I'm convinced that Lenny who was armed to the teeth with a state-of-the-art bullshit detector would not have failed to see the very sick irony in thatWhat direction might Lenny Bruce have taken had he been able to save himself Sadly we'll never know Of this we can be sure: He'd have an awful lot to say about the America of the early twenty-first century It makes me laugh just contemplating what his take on the obscene condition of modern day Washington DC might be Can you imagine

Lenny Bruce

foxmusic — Fri, 10 May 2013 14:39:00 MDT

Lenny Bruce - LennyBruce1963.jpg

Active Decades: '50s and '60sBorn: Oct 13 1925Died: Aug 03 1966Genre: ComdyStyles: Standup Comedy Beat Poetry Observational Humor Satire Political ComedyWhen once asked to describe jazz trumpet legend Miles Davis sarcastically but saliently replied You can sweat it down to four words: Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker Applying that same old-school new-school trailblazer to comedy is somewhat more problematic A number of great early comics could stand in for the Armstrong entry among them Charlie Chaplin Groucho Marx Jack Benny and George Burns But in choosing the Charlie Parker of comedy by that meaning the one who blazed the modern-day trail influencing all that came after him the answer is simple and irrefutable: Lenny Bruce He was the genre's reckless visionary the one who defied conventions the law and the system and -- like most visionaries -- was taken down by it all in the end Bruce changed the whole ball game: no longer would comics have to come out in a cute little suit and tell cute little mother-in-law jokes or feel like they were working dirty if they talked openly about sex and other taboo subjects The shoot-from-the-hip and tell-the-truth work of Richard Pryor George Carlin Richard Lewis and myriad other modern-day comics could never have existed without Bruce first storming the citadel and tearing down the conventional walls of comedy presentation back in the 1950s He was the original rebel in this marvelous amalgam he invented taking his borscht belt and strip-joint background and spot welding it to a hipster enlightenment His style took previously taboo subjects and not only dumped them all in the audience's lap but did it with a creative verve that made him the wildest the hippest the most controversial and simply the best comic trotting the boards Those lucky enough to have caught Bruce on an inspired night said it was like a roller coaster ride inside a person's head free-association ramblings streaming out in a virtual torrent of ideas Jumping from '50s jazz hipster slang to a liberal dosage of Yiddish vernacular that sounded like code to the uninitiated to sometimes impish little-boy charm letting you in on a big dark secret no comic created intimacy with an audience in almost any environment -- conclusively proven in his amazing performance at Carnegie Hall -- than Lenny BruceAlthough he rode in on the crest of that late-'50s wave known as the sick comics Bruce distanced himself from the pack -- both in ideas outlook and demeanor -- quickly proving that he had much more to offer philosophically than some tasteless one-liners whose comedic value was usually based on shock value alone Not that in the early days Bruce wasn't above drawing on items in the news to pull a quickie sickie observation to get a fast laugh but the simple fact that Bruce quickly outgrew the medium that launched him was already apparent by the live recorded performances he was laying down that were appearing on albums by 1959 and 1960 While Mort Sahl (the most popular and digestible of the new comics) would take aim at political sacred cows Bruce came from a hipster's background and -- fueled by endless nights of honing his craft in California strip joints where the audience couldn't have cared less what he said or did -- was out to violate the night club taboos by dealing with sex race and religion using words that had seldom been uttered on cabaret stages up to that pointBruce was a brilliant satirist and the object of his early pieces was quite often show business itself clearly a signal that he was more than willing to bite the hand that was feeding him Exposing the seediness pomposity and insensitivity that existed then -- as now -- in show business via brilliant routines like The Palladium Hitler and the MCA The Tribunal and Religions Inc it was obvious that Bruce was going places that no comic had dared to go in front of an audience Exposing racism and bigotry in routines like White Collar Drunks How to Relax Your Colored Friends at Parties and his brilliant satire of the movie The Defiant Ones was another bold step paving the way for message comedians like Dick Gregory (and later Richard Pryor) to find their voice and audience His work went through three basic phases of development starting with the bits and routines that lampooned show business conventions and often caused audiences to walk out Tiring of the sheer drudgery of regurgitating the same material on a nightly basis Bruce entered his second phase abandoning all format on-stage free-forming his entire performance His final phase at the end of his career was slow-moving obsessive shows centered around the contradictions in the American legal system As Bruce kept testing the boundaries of what could be talked about on a stage other comics heard his basic message and rethought their entire game plan In effect he invented modern-day comedy as we know it The concept of a comedy concert back then was unthinkable Up to that time comics worked in clubs (bars saloons and strip joints) or as part of a stage show Putting a comedian in a theater all by their lonesome for an entire evening seemed like a crazy idea until Bruce's work justified such a gamble now a presentation format common to any comedian popular enough to fill a large buildingBut with the trailblazing came the heat The police busted him at the Jazz Workshop in 1961 for violating the California Obscenity Code As Paul Krassner said Lenny fought for the right to say on a nightclub stage what he felt free to say in his own living room Bruce's drug use was widely known throughout the business and after his acquittal on obscenity charges he was deported from Britain barred from performing in Australia busted for either narcotics possession or obscenity in Los Angeles Chicago Hollywood New York and San Francisco In 1964 he had himself declared a legally bankrupt pauper virtually unable to work anywhere (hence the move into concerts) By this time the lone benefactor keeping him afloat was rock roll producer Phil Spector who was the last person to record him for public consumption In August 1966 with his career and finances in tatters Bruce died of a heroin overdose at age 40 His life story became a movie starring Dustin Hoffman

Beedingwood House mid to late 90s

Beedingwood House mid to late 90s - beedingwood.jpg

Beedingwood House taken mid to late 90s showing the glazed front section pre-collapse and also the small round room circling the larger round room still in tact The driveway and greenery are also much less overgrown The house and estate was built for Thomas Anthony Denny and his wife Mary Jane Noel in 1876 in the St Leonard's Forest area in West Sussex Denny was an Irish businessman and in his own words he was a pork philanthropist A great loss befell him the following year after moving into Beedingwood with the death of his wife Mary in 1877 He resided quietly at Beedingwood and often donated large sums of money to charitable organisiations most notably paying the Salvation Army's first year of rent at their London headquarters in 1881 T A Denny stayed in the house until 189394 when he married the evangelist Elizabeth Hope and subsequentally moved away In 1894 the house's well-known owner the Reverend EDL Harvey stepped down from his job as Rector at Downham Market in Norfolk and moved his family to Beedingwood The Reverend Edward Douglas Lennox Harvey MA OBE Justice of the Peace Deputy Lieutenant for Sussex Chairman of Sussex County Cricket Club and Vice Chairman of West Sussex County Council (of the wealthy Harvey's Bristol Cream family) was a very successful man locally However he sadly incurred much tragedy in his life with the loss of his wife 1 daughter and 3 sons He remarried in 1911 and was the longest and kindest resident of Beedingwood residing here for 44 years until his death in 1938 at the age of 80 Soon after the family sold the estate probably due to the death tax During the Harvey family years the gardens were featured in several publications of The Gardener a long running gardening magazine From the point of the Reverend's death things started to go downhill for the estate During the Second World War the house was used as temporary accomadation for various civilians including evacuated children from London It is well documented that in 1943 the Roffey Park Institute acquired the neighbouring Roffey Park estate along with the Beedingwood estate in 1946 and adapted the house to serve as auxilary accomadation and dining floorspace for the Institute They added central heating and electricity to the house aswell as the undignified 1950s kitchen block extension tucked behind and around the circular room on the north-east corner of the house Mnay of the large victorian rooms were also divided up with cheap partition walls and many fireplaces were removed or boarded over In the early 60s the Institute became a publically owned company and by the early 70s dropped the rehabilitation side of the business building new premises tacked onto the already converted Beedingwood stables The local Health Authority took over the Roffey Park House Hospital and Beedingwood In 1973 the house became exclusively the staff housing for the Roffey Park Hospital In 1981 the Roffey Park Hospital was closed down interestingly it was the first mental hospital in England to close due to the Care in the Community act of 1980 By the early 80s Beedingwood was becoming very expensive to maintain and along with the now obselete Roffey Park Hospital the Health Authority sold both the high maintenance estates in 1983 Beedingwood was used briefly as a nursing home for the elderly in the mid 80s and planning permission was submitted for this change of use in 1987 however nothing much came of this Both of the Estates were sold to a property development company around this time Conversion of Beedingwood into 10 luxery apartments was scheduled for 1990 The developers tried to get Beedingwood and Roffey Park House listed in order to gain permission to erect a limited number of new dwellings in the grounds of both properties to compensate for the expensive renovation costs The latter was successful however it was decided Beedingwood wasn't worthy of listing status due to too many original features having been removed This decision was appealed but English Heritage upheld the decision once again due to too many of the house's original features being removed or stolen The house's tourelle originally had a spire on top of it however by 1955 this had been removed for unknown reasons The house also had beautiful carved decorative barge boards these had also been removed before 1955 Sadly site security was centered around the slightly larger Roffey Park House earmarked to be turned into a major hotel and Beedingwood began to suffer from leaking roofs neglect and thieves drawn to the valuable victorian woodwork slate and fittings Due to the property market of the early 90s the developers changed their plans for Beedingwood from 10 to 24 apartments and a maisonette This plan required a large extension to be extended from the rear of the property and the council considered this too large A plan was then submitted for 19 apartments a small new extension being built where the 1950s extension already was and 7 luxery houses replacing original dwellings along the existing driveway The council didn't object to this application however legal technicalities required a further application to be submiitted to them and the developer stalled During this time Beedingwood was becoming an open-house and a rave was held one weekend in the empty house and much of the interior including nearly every pane of glass in the house was damaged or broken The council complained about the lack of security to the developers and they watertighted and boarded the house temporarily In the early 90s the company put the Beedingwood Estate up for auction and it was sold to another property developer He sold off most of the land to a housing developer keeping Beedingwood and they used the existing planning permission to build the 7 houses sadly demolishing the coach house in the process The conversion of the house never took place the new owner apparantly wasn't interested in restoring the building and was only interested in the land it was built on He gutted the house's interior removing the panelled ceilings wooden panelling plaster mouldings bannisters doors bathroom fittings fireplaces and even the floorboards The stained glass skylight was probably removed at this time too Apart from the staircases joists and the carved screen in the greeting's parlour (installed too firmly to remove in one piece) the house was now internally a shell The doors and windows were breezeblocked up and the house was left From this point onwards Beedingwood went downhill fast the thieves and vandals once again gained access and the missing slate and leaking roofs also helped to weaken the houses structure By 2000 the house was beyond reasonable repair the joists now rotten and non-existant in the west side of the house and the new owners submitted an application to demolish the unlisted house and erect an apartment block on the footprint of the existing house this application was approved and for the next 7 years Beedingwood was left to rot and decay further into a sad yet dignified state The rotten timber front glazed section above the port cochere and front door collapsed in the early 2000's leaving a gaping hole in the front of the house and on April 28th 2007 the house was found burning By the time the fire was out the authorities declared the building dangerous and it was demolished the same day Even in its decayed and neglected state it was easy to see what a masterpiece this house really was Credit should also be given to the victorian craftsmen who built the house even after all the years of wet and neglect the structure was still holding up firm indeed even after the fire it is said that apart from the damaged areas the building was still firm No modern building would stand up to so much neglect Beedingwood will be sadly missed by many RIP Beedingwood 1876 - 2007 In August 2008 planning permission was granted for 3 large houses and triple garages to be built on the site Text copyright Adam Pearson 2008 If anyone has any memories information or old photographs of the house i would be very interested to hear from you I can be reached at adamant hotmail co uk Many thanks

Miles Davis quotCollectors' Itemsquot Prestige Records LP 7044 - Jazz Vinyl Record Album - Deep Groove

foxmusic — Mon, 11 May 2009 01:21:00 MDT

Miles Davis quotCollectors' Itemsquot Prestige Records LP 7044 - Jazz Vinyl Record Album - Deep Groove - JAZZ-LpMilesDavisCollectorsItem-1.jpg

This set lives up to its title by including such interesting sessions as the 1953 date on which Miles Davis welcomed the two tenors of Sonny Rollins and Charlie Parker other meetings with Rollins in 1951 and 1956 and a moody 1955 date with bassist Charles Mingus trombone vibes and drums (a young Elvin Jones) Highlights include No Line Vierd Blues In Your Own Sweet Way Nature Boy and There's No You It's classic if often overlooked music from a variety of immortal jazzmen nnThroughout a professional career lasting 50 years Miles Davis played the trumpet in a lyrical introspective and melodic style often employing a stemless Harmon mute to make his sound more personal and intimate But if his approach to his instrument was constant his approach to jazz was dazzlingly protean To examine his career is to examine the history of jazz from the mid-'40s to the early '90s since he was in the thick of almost every important innovation and stylistic development in the music during that period and he often led the way in those changes both with his own performances and recordings and by choosing sidemen and collaborators who forged new directions It can even be argued that jazz stopped evolving when Davis wasn't there to push it forwardnnDavis was the son of a dental surgeon Dr Miles Dewey Davis Jr and a music teacher Cleota Mae (Henry) Davis and thus grew up in the black middle class of east St Louis after the family moved there shortly after his birth He became interested in music during his childhood and by the age of 12 began taking trumpet lessons While still in high school he started to get jobs playing in local bars and at 16 was playing gigs out of town on weekends At 17 he joined Eddie Randle's Blue Devils a territory band based in St Louis He enjoyed a personal apotheosis in 1944 just after graduating from high school when he saw and was allowed to sit in with Billy Eckstine's big band who was playing in St Louis The band featured trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and saxophonist Charlie Parker the architects of the emerging bebop style of jazz which was characterized by fast inventive soloing and dynamic rhythm variations It is striking that Davis fell so completely under Gillespie and Parker's spell since his own slower and less flashy style never really compared to theirs But bebop was the new sound of the day and the young trumpeter was bound to follow it He did so by leaving the Midwest to attend the Institute of Musical Art in New York City (renamed Juilliard) in September 1944 Shortly after his arrival in Manhattan he was playing in clubs with Parker and by 1945 he had abandoned his academic studies for a full-time career as a jazz musician initially joining Benny Carter's band and making his first recordings as a sideman He played with Eckstine in 1946-1947 and was a member of Parker's group in 1947-1948 making his recording debut as a leader on a 1947 session that featured Parker pianist John Lewis bassist Nelson Boyd and drummer Max Roach This was an isolated date however and Davis spent most of his time playing and recording behind Parker But in the summer of 1948 he organized a nine-piece band with an unusual horn section In addition to himself it featured an alto saxophone a baritone saxophone a trombone a French horn and a tuba This nonet employing arrangements by Gil Evans and others played for two weeks at the Royal Roost in New York in September Earning a contract with Capitol Records the band went into the studio in January 1949 for the first of three sessions which produced 12 tracks that attracted little attention at first The band's relaxed sound however affected the musicians who played it among them Kai Winding Lee Konitz Gerry Mulligan John Lewis JJ Johnson and Kenny Clarke and it had a profound influence on the development of the cool jazz style on the West Coast In February 1957 Capitol finally issued the tracks together on an LP called Birth of the Cool Davis meanwhile had moved on to co-leading a band with pianist Tadd Dameron in 1949 and the group took him out of the country for an appearance at the Paris Jazz Festival in May But the trumpeter's progress was impeded by an addiction to heroin that plagued him in the early '50s His performances and recordings became more haphazard but in January 1951 he began a long series of recordings for the Prestige label that became his main recording outlet for the next several years He managed to kick his habit by the middle of the decade and he made a strong impression playing 'Round Midnight at the Newport Jazz Festival in July 1955 a performance that led the major label Columbia Records to sign him The prestigious contract allowed him to put together a permanent band and he organized a quintet featuring saxophonist John Coltrane pianist Red Garland bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones who began recording his Columbia debut 'Round About Midnight in October As it happened however he had a remaining five albums on his Prestige contract and over the next year he was forced to alternate his Columbia sessions with sessions for Prestige to fulfill this previous commitment The latter resulted in the Prestige albums The New Miles Davis Quintet Cookin' Workin' Relaxin' and Steamin' making Davis' first quintet one of his better-documented outfits In May 1957 just three months after Capitol released the Birth of the Cool LP Davis again teamed with arranger Gil Evans for his second Columbia LP Miles Ahead Playing flgelhorn Davis fronted a big band on music that extended the Birth of the Cool concept and even had classical overtones Released in 1958 the album was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame intended to honor recordings made before the Grammy Awards were instituted in 1959 In December 1957 Davis returned to Paris where he improvised the background music for the film L'Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud (Escalator to the Gallows) Jazz Track an album containing this music earned him a 1960 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Performance Solo or Small Group He added saxophonist Cannonball Adderley to his group creating the Miles Davis Sextet who recorded the album Milestones in April 1958 Shortly after this recording Red Garland was replaced on piano by Bill Evans and Jimmy Cobb took over for Philly Joe Jones on drums In July Davis again collaborated with Gil Evans and an orchestra on an album of music from Porgy and Bess Back in the sextet Davis began to experiment with modal playing basing his improvisations on scales rather than chord changes This led to his next band recording Kind of Blue in March and April 1959 an album that became a landmark in modern jazz and the most popular disc of Davis' career eventually selling over two million copies a phenomenal success for a jazz record In sessions held in November 1959 and March 1960 Davis again followed his pattern of alternating band releases and collaborations with Gil Evans recording Sketches of Spain containing traditional Spanish music and original compositions in that style The album earned Davis and Evans Grammy nominations in 1960 for Best Jazz Performance Large Group and Best Jazz Composition More Than 5 minutes they won in the latter categorynnBy the time Davis returned to the studio to make his next band album in March 1961 Adderley had departed Wynton Kelly had replaced Bill Evans at the piano and John Coltrane had left to begin his successful solo career being replaced by saxophonist Hank Mobley (following the brief tenure of Sonny Stitt) Nevertheless Coltrane guested on a couple of tracks of the album called Someday My Prince Will Come The record made the pop charts in March 1962 but it was preceded into the bestseller lists by the Davis quintet's next recording the two-LP set Miles Davis in Person (Friday amp Saturday Nights at the Blackhawk San Francisco) recorded in April The following month Davis recorded another live show as he and his band were joined by an orchestra led by Gil Evans at Carnegie Hall in May The resulting Miles Davis at Carnegie Hall was his third LP to reach the pop charts and it earned Davis and Evans a 1962 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Performance by a Large Group Instrumental Davis and Evans teamed up again in 1962 for what became their final collaboration Quiet Nights The album was not issued until 1964 when it reached the charts and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Large Group or Soloist with Large Group In 1996 Columbia Records released a six-CD box set Miles Davis amp Gil Evans: The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings that won the Grammy for Best Historical Album Quiet Nights was preceded into the marketplace by Davis' next band effort Seven Steps to Heaven recorded in the spring of 1963 with an entirely new lineup consisting of saxophonist George Coleman pianist Victor Feldman bassist Ron Carter and drummer Frank Butler During the sessions Feldman was replaced by Herbie Hancock and Butler by Tony Williams The album found Davis making a transition to his next great group of which Carter Hancock and Williams would be members It was another pop chart entry that earned 1963 Grammy nominations for both Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Soloist or Small Group and Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Large Group The quintet followed with two live albums Miles Davis in Europe recorded in July 1963 which made the pop charts and earned a 1964 Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Small Group or Soloist with Small Group and My Funny Valentine recorded in February 1964 and released in 1965 when it reached the pop charts By September 1964 the final member of the classic Miles Davis Quintet of the 1960s was in place with the addition of saxophonist Wayne Shorter to the team of Davis Carter Hancock and Williams While continuing to play standards in concert this unit embarked on a series of albums of original compositions contributed by the band members starting in January 1965 with ESP followed by Miles Smiles (1967 Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Small Group or Soloist with Small Group 7 or Fewer) Sorcerer Nefertiti Miles in the Sky (1968 Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Small Group or Soloist with Small Group) and Filles de Kilimanjaro By the time of Miles in the Sky the group had begun to turn to electric instruments presaging Davis' next stylistic turn By the final sessions for Filles de Kilimanjaro in September 1968 Hancock had been replaced by Chick Corea and Carter by Dave Holland But Hancock along with pianist Joe Zawinul and guitarist John McLaughlin participated on Davis' next album In a Silent Way (1969) which returned the trumpeter to the pop charts for the first time in four years and earned him another small-group jazz performance Grammy nomination With his next album Bitches Brew Davis turned more overtly to a jazz-rock style Though certainly not conventional rock music Davis' electrified sound attracted a young non-jazz audience while putting off traditional jazz fans Bitches Brew released in March 1970 reached the pop Top 40 and became Davis' first album to be certified gold It also earned a Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Arrangement and won the Grammy for large-group jazz performance He followed it with such similar efforts as Miles Davis at Fillmore East (1971 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Performance by a Group) A Tribute to Jack Johnson Live-Evil On the Corner and In Concert all of which reached the pop charts Meanwhile Davis' former sidemen became his disciples in a series of fusion groups: Corea formed Return to Forever Shorter and Zawinul led Weather Report and McLaughlin and former Davis drummer Billy Cobham organized the Mahavishnu Orchestra Starting in October 1972 when he broke his ankles in a car accident Davis became less active in the early '70s and in 1975 he gave up recording entirely due to illness undergoing surgery for hip replacement later in the year Five years passed before he returned to action by recording The Man With the Horn in 1980 and going back to touring in 1981 By now he was an elder statesman of jazz and his innovations had been incorporated into the music at least by those who supported his eclectic approach He was also a celebrity whose appeal extended far beyond the basic jazz audience He performed on the worldwide jazz festival circuit and recorded a series of albums that made the pop charts including We Want Miles (1982 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance by a Soloist) Star People Decoy and You're Under Arrest In 1986 after 30 years with Columbia he switched to Warner Bros Records and released Tutu which won him his fourth Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance Aura an album he had recorded in 1984 was released by Columbia in 1989 and brought him his fifth Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance by a Soloist (on a Jazz Recording) Davis surprised jazz fans when on July 8 1991 he joined an orchestra led by Quincy Jones at the Montreux Jazz Festival to perform some of the arrangements written for him in the late '50s by Gil Evans he had never previously looked back at an aspect of his career He died of pneumonia respiratory failure and a stroke within months Doo-Bop his last studio album appeared in 1992 It was a collaboration with rapper Easy Mo Bee and it won a Grammy for Best Rhythm amp Blues Instrumental Performance with the track Fantasy nominated for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo Released in 1993 Miles amp Quincy Live at Montreux won Davis his seventh Grammy for Best Large Jazz Ensemble PerformancennMiles Davis took an all-inclusive constantly restless approach to jazz that had begun to fall out of favor by the time of his death even as it earned him controversy during his lifetime It was hard to recognize the bebop acolyte of Charlie Parker in the flamboyantly dressed leader with the hair extensions who seemed to keep one foot on a wah-wah pedal and one hand on an electric keyboard in his later years But he did much to popularize jazz reversing the trend away from commercial appeal that bebop began And whatever the fripperies and explorations he retained an ability to play moving solos that endeared him to audiences and demonstrated his affinity with tradition At a time when jazz is inclining toward academia and repertory orchestras rather than moving forward he is a reminder of the music's essential quality of boundless invention using all available means

Lenny Bruce San Francisco Trial

foxmusic — Fri, 10 May 2013 14:38:00 MDT

Lenny Bruce San Francisco Trial - Lenny_Bruce_Trial_San_Francisco_196.jpg

When once asked to describe jazz trumpet legend Miles Davis sarcastically but saliently replied You can sweat it down to four words: Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker Applying that same old-school new-school trailblazer to comedy is somewhat more problematic A number of great early comics could stand in for the Armstrong entry among them Charlie Chaplin Groucho Marx Jack Benny and George Burns But in choosing the Charlie Parker of comedy by that meaning the one who blazed the modern-day trail influencing all that came after him the answer is simple and irrefutable: Lenny Bruce He was the genre's reckless visionary the one who defied conventions the law and the system and -- like most visionaries -- was taken down by it all in the end Bruce changed the whole ball game: no longer would comics have to come out in a cute little suit and tell cute little mother-in-law jokes or feel like they were working dirty if they talked openly about sex and other taboo subjects The shoot-from-the-hip and tell-the-truth work of Richard Pryor George Carlin Richard Lewis and myriad other modern-day comics could never have existed without Bruce first storming the citadel and tearing down the conventional walls of comedy presentation back in the 1950s He was the original rebel in this marvelous amalgam he invented taking his borscht belt and strip-joint background and spot welding it to a hipster enlightenment His style took previously taboo subjects and not only dumped them all in the audience's lap but did it with a creative verve that made him the wildest the hippest the most controversial and simply the best comic trotting the boards Those lucky enough to have caught Bruce on an inspired night said it was like a roller coaster ride inside a person's head free-association ramblings streaming out in a virtual torrent of ideas Jumping from '50s jazz hipster slang to a liberal dosage of Yiddish vernacular that sounded like code to the uninitiated to sometimes impish little-boy charm letting you in on a big dark secret no comic created intimacy with an audience in almost any environment -- conclusively proven in his amazing performance at Carnegie Hall -- than Lenny BruceAlthough he rode in on the crest of that late-'50s wave known as the sick comics Bruce distanced himself from the pack -- both in ideas outlook and demeanor -- quickly proving that he had much more to offer philosophically than some tasteless one-liners whose comedic value was usually based on shock value alone Not that in the early days Bruce wasn't above drawing on items in the news to pull a quickie sickie observation to get a fast laugh but the simple fact that Bruce quickly outgrew the medium that launched him was already apparent by the live recorded performances he was laying down that were appearing on albums by 1959 and 1960 While Mort Sahl (the most popular and digestible of the new comics) would take aim at political sacred cows Bruce came from a hipster's background and -- fueled by endless nights of honing his craft in California strip joints where the audience couldn't have cared less what he said or did -- was out to violate the night club taboos by dealing with sex race and religion using words that had seldom been uttered on cabaret stages up to that pointBruce was a brilliant satirist and the object of his early pieces was quite often show business itself clearly a signal that he was more than willing to bite the hand that was feeding him Exposing the seediness pomposity and insensitivity that existed then -- as now -- in show business via brilliant routines like The Palladium Hitler and the MCA The Tribunal and Religions Inc it was obvious that Bruce was going places that no comic had dared to go in front of an audience Exposing racism and bigotry in routines like White Collar Drunks How to Relax Your Colored Friends at Parties and his brilliant satire of the movie The Defiant Ones was another bold step paving the way for message comedians like Dick Gregory (and later Richard Pryor) to find their voice and audience His work went through three basic phases of development starting with the bits and routines that lampooned show business conventions and often caused audiences to walk out Tiring of the sheer drudgery of regurgitating the same material on a nightly basis Bruce entered his second phase abandoning all format on-stage free-forming his entire performance His final phase at the end of his career was slow-moving obsessive shows centered around the contradictions in the American legal system As Bruce kept testing the boundaries of what could be talked about on a stage other comics heard his basic message and rethought their entire game plan In effect he invented modern-day comedy as we know it The concept of a comedy concert back then was unthinkable Up to that time comics worked in clubs (bars saloons and strip joints) or as part of a stage show Putting a comedian in a theater all by their lonesome for an entire evening seemed like a crazy idea until Bruce's work justified such a gamble now a presentation format common to any comedian popular enough to fill a large buildingBut with the trailblazing came the heat The police busted him at the Jazz Workshop in 1961 for violating the California Obscenity Code As Paul Krassner said Lenny fought for the right to say on a nightclub stage what he felt free to say in his own living room Bruce's drug use was widely known throughout the business and after his acquittal on obscenity charges he was deported from Britain barred from performing in Australia busted for either narcotics possession or obscenity in Los Angeles Chicago Hollywood New York and San Francisco In 1964 he had himself declared a legally bankrupt pauper virtually unable to work anywhere (hence the move into concerts) By this time the lone benefactor keeping him afloat was rock roll producer Phil Spector who was the last person to record him for public consumption In August 1966 with his career and finances in tatters Bruce died of a heroin overdose at age 40 His life story became a movie starring Dustin Hoffman And his visionary work changed the world of comedy forever

Chibesi Village - Archery Tourney - 5514-R1-12-13_013.jpg

Chibesi was located literally out in the middle of no-where As we descended down this steep decline to approach the village we noticed this archery tournament going taking place Archery is a big sport in Bhutan I believe its the only sport in which they may compete in the Olympics and they take it pretty seriously Typically you'll find the archers using modern compound bows but traditionally they used very long bows These guys are shooting at a target that was probably 300 yards away Two teams compete At each end members of the opposing team will try to distract the shooter by standing right next to the target (literally within 10 feet) and attempt to distract the shooter Generally they'd hit the structure holding the targets (ie dirt mound) and often hit the target I never saw anyone get hit but I heard that it happens occassionaly

Pink Floyd quotDark Side of the Moonquot Harvest Records 11163 - 1973 Vinyl LP w Poster and Post Cards

foxmusic — Mon, 11 May 2009 01:21:00 MDT

Pink Floyd quotDark Side of the Moonquot Harvest Records 11163 - 1973 Vinyl LP w Poster and Post Cards - PROG-PinkFloydLPDarkSideOfTheMoon.jpg

By condensing the sonic explorations of Meddle to actual songs and adding a lush immaculate production to their trippiest instrumental sections Pink Floyd inadvertently designed their commercial breakthrough with Dark Side of the Moon The primary revelation of Dark Side of the Moon is what a little focus does for the band Roger Waters wrote a series of songs about mundane everyday details which aren't that impressive by themselves but when given the sonic backdrop of Floyd's slow atmospheric soundscapes and carefully placed sound effects they achieve an emotional resonance But what gives the album true power is the subtly textured music which evolves from ponderous neo-psychedelic art rock to jazz fusion and blues-rock before turning back to psychedelia It's dense with detail but leisurely paced creating its own dark haunting world Pink Floyd may have better albums than Dark Side of the Moon but no other record defines them quite as well as this onenPink Floyd is the premier space rock band Since the mid-'60s their music relentlessly tinkered with electronics and all manner of special effects to push pop formats to their outer limits At the same time they wrestled with lyrical themes and concepts of such massive scale that their music has taken on almost classical operatic quality in both sound and words Despite their astral image the group was brought down to earth in the 1980s by decidedly mundane power struggles over leadership and ultimately ownership of the band's very name After that time they were little more than a dinosaur act capable of filling stadiums and topping the charts but offering little more than a spectacular recreation of their most successful formulas Their latter-day staleness cannot disguise the fact that for the first decade or so of their existence they were one of the most innovative groups around in concert and (especially) in the studionnWhile Pink Floyd are mostly known for their grandiose concept albums of the 1970s they started as a very different sort of psychedelic band Soon after they first began playing together in the mid-'60s they fell firmly under the leadership of lead guitarist Syd Barrett the gifted genius who would write and sing most of their early material The Cambridge native shared the stage with Roger Waters (bass) Rick Wright (keyboards) and Nick Mason (drums) The name Pink Floyd seemingly so far-out was actually derived from the first names of two ancient bluesmen (Pink Anderson and Floyd Council) And at first Pink Floyd were much more conventional than the act into which they would evolve concentrating on the rock and RampB material that were so common to the repertoires of mid-'60s British bandsnnPink Floyd quickly began to experiment however stretching out songs with wild instrumental freak-out passages incorporating feedback electronic screeches and unusual eerie sounds created by loud amplification reverb and such tricks as sliding ball bearings up and down guitar strings In 1966 they began to pick up a following in the London underground on-stage they began to incorporate light shows to add to the psychedelic effect Most importantly Syd Barrett began to compose pop-psychedelic gems that combined unusual psychedelic arrangements (particularly in the haunting guitar and celestial organ licks) with catchy melodies and incisive lyrics that viewed the world with a sense of poetic childlike wondernnThe group landed a recording contract with EMI in early 1967 and made the Top 20 with a brilliant debut single Arnold Layne a sympathetic comic vignette about a transvestite The follow-up the kaleidoscopic See Emily Play made the Top Ten The debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn also released in 1967 may have been the greatest British psychedelic album other than Sgt Pepper's Dominated almost wholly by Barrett's songs the album was a charming fun house of driving mysterious rockers (Lucifer Sam) odd character sketches (The Gnome) childhood flashbacks (Bike Matilda Mother) and freakier pieces with lengthy instrumental passages (Astronomy Domine Interstellar Overdrive Pow R Toch) that mapped out their fascination with space travel The record was not only like no other at the time it was like no other that Pink Floyd would make colored as it was by a vision that was far more humorous pop-friendly and lighthearted than those of their subsequent epicsnnThe reason Pink Floyd never made a similar album was that Piper was the only one to be recorded under Barrett's leadership Around mid-1967 the prodigy began showing increasingly alarming signs of mental instability Barrett would go catatonic on-stage playing music that had little to do with the material or not playing at all An American tour had to be cut short when he was barely able to function at all let alone play the pop star game Dependent upon Barrett for most of their vision and material the rest of the group was nevertheless finding him impossible to work with live or in the studionnAround the beginning of 1968 guitarist Dave Gilmour a friend of the band who was also from Cambridge was brought in as a fifth member The idea was that Gilmour would enable the Floyd to continue as a live outfit Barrett would still be able to write and contribute to the records That couldn't work either and within a few months Barrett was out of the group Pink Floyd's management looking at the wreckage of a band that was now without its lead guitarist lead singer and primary songwriter decided to abandon the group and manage Barrett as a solo actnnSuch calamities would have proven insurmountable for 99 out of 100 bands in similar predicaments Incredibly Pink Floyd would regroup and not only maintain their popularity but eventually become even more successful It was early in the game yet after all the first album had made the British Top Ten but the group was still virtually unknown in America where the loss of Syd Barrett meant nothing to the media Gilmour was an excellent guitarist and the band proved capable of writing enough original material to generate further ambitious albums Waters eventually emerging as the dominant composer The 1968 follow-up to Piper at the Gates of Dawn A Saucerful of Secrets made the British Top Ten using Barrett's vision as an obvious blueprint but taking a more formal somber and quasi-classical tone especially in the long instrumental parts Barrett for his part would go on to make a couple of interesting solo records before his mental problems instigated a retreat into oblivionnnOver the next four years Pink Floyd would continue to polish their brand of experimental rock which married psychedelia with ever-grander arrangements on a Wagnerian operatic scale Hidden underneath the pulsing reverberant organs and guitars and insistently restated themes were subtle blues and pop influences that kept the material accessible to a wide audience Abandoning the singles market they concentrated on album-length works and built a huge following in the progressive rock underground with constant touring in both Europe and North America While LPs like Ummagumma (divided into live recordings and experimental outings by each member of the band) Atom Heart Mother (a collaboration with composer Ron Geesin) and More (a film soundtrack) were erratic each contained some extremely effective musicnnBy the early '70s Syd Barrett was a fading or nonexistent memory for most of Pink Floyd's fans although the group one could argue never did match the brilliance of that somewhat anomalous 1967 debut Meddle (1971) sharpened the band's sprawling epics into something more accessible and polished the science fiction ambience that the group had been exploring ever since 1968 Nothing however prepared Pink Floyd or their audience for the massive mainstream success of their 1973 album Dark Side of the Moon which made their brand of cosmic rock even more approachable with state-of-the-art production more focused songwriting an army of well-time stereophonic sound effects and touches of saxophone and soulful female backup vocalsnnDark Side of the Moon finally broke Pink Floyd as superstars in the United States where it made number one More astonishingly it made them one of the biggest-selling acts of all time Dark Side of the Moon spent an incomprehensible 741 weeks on the Billboard album chart Additionally the primarily instrumental textures of the songs helped make Dark Side of the Moon easily translatable on an international level and the record became (and still is) one of the most popular rock albums worldwidennIt was also an extremely hard act to follow although the follow-up Wish You Were Here (1975) also made number one highlighted by a tribute of sorts to the long-departed Barrett Shine On You Crazy Diamond Dark Side of the Moon had been dominated by lyrical themes of insecurity fear and the cold sterility of modern life Wish You Were Here and Animals (1977) developed these morose themes even more explicitly By this time Waters was taking a firm hand over Pink Floyd's lyrical and musical vision which was consolidated by The Wall (1979)nnThe bleak overambitious double concept album concerned itself with the material and emotional walls modern humans build around themselves for survival The Wall was a huge success (even by Pink Floyd's standards) in part because the music was losing some of its heavy-duty electronic textures in favor of more approachable pop elements Although Pink Floyd had rarely even released singles since the late '60s one of the tracks Another Brick in the Wall became a transatlantic number one The band had been launching increasingly elaborate stage shows throughout the '70s but the touring production of The Wall featuring a construction of an actual wall during the band's performance was the most excessive yetnnIn the 1980s the group began to unravel Each of the four had done some side and solo projects in the past more troublingly Waters was asserting control of the band's musical and lyrical identity That wouldn't have been such a problem had The Final Cut (1983) been such an unimpressive effort with little of the electronic innovation so typical of their previous work Shortly afterward the band split up -- for a while In 1986 Waters was suing Gilmour and Mason to dissolve the group's partnership (Wright had lost full membership status entirely) Waters lost leaving a Roger-less Pink Floyd to get a Top Five album with Momentary Lapse of Reason in 1987 In an irony that was nothing less than cosmic about 20 years after Pink Floyd shed their original leader to resume their career with great commercial success they would do the same again to his successor Waters released ambitious solo albums to nothing more than moderate sales and attention while he watched his former colleagues (with Wright back in tow) rescale the chartsnnPink Floyd still had a huge fan base but there's little that's noteworthy about their post-Waters output They knew their formula could execute it on a grand scale and could count on millions of customers -- many of them unborn when Dark Side of the Moon came out and unaware that Syd Barrett was ever a member -- to buy their records and see their sporadic tours The Division Bell their first studio album in seven years topped the charts in 1994 without making any impact on the current rock scene except in a marketing sense Ditto for the live Pulse album recorded during a typically elaborately staged 1994 tour which included a concert version of The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety Waters' solo career sputtered along highlighted by a solo recreation of The Wall performed at the site of the former Berlin Wall in 1990 and released as an album Syd Barrett continued to be completely removed from the public eye except as a sort of archetype for the fallen genius
