1962 Topps 129 Lee Walls variation comparison - 1962Topps129LeeWallscomparision_zps93f3e10a.jpg

The first of the variation cards the 129 Lee Walls The card on the left is the Lee Walls facing left or Lee Walls in Philadelphia Phillies pin stripe uniform also a grenn tint card See how the picture is out of focus and the weird looking flesh tone also the green sky in the background The card on the right is the Lee Walls facing right or Lee Walls in Chicago Cub road uniform or plain uniform Notice how much more in focus this card is comparitively and the normal background sky These are the keys to picking out green tint cards from the normal or corrected issue cards Also just as a side-note the card on the left has Philadelphis's Connie Mack Stadium Shibe Park as a backdrop whils the card on the right I believe has Seals Stadium in San Francisco as a backdrop There is a green tint version of every card in the second series (110-196) with the exception of card 159 and 190 which will be covered More to come

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

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

GTA IV altered ESRB rating - AlteredESRB.png

This was inspired by yesterday's Gamepolitics news story found here - http:wwwgamepoliticscom20080617latest-gta-iv-flap-game-spoof-pedophile-sitennThe National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children joins MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving)) and other people to complain about Grand Theft Auto IV Theres a fictional website in the game wwwlittlelacysurprisepageantcom that leads to a dead end page that is owned by the Liberty City Police Department It gives you a for or five star wanted rating This sends the Police SWAT or the FBI after you I say or because I have not seen the FBI and SWAT appear at the same time Little Lacy Suprise started as several radio ads on Vice City Stories It was about children's underwear that had cartoon characters on them I don't know if those types of underwear is common now but I remember wearing them as a kid in the 1980's They had Superman or the Smurfs or whatever cartoon character that was wildly popular on them But the ads had a child molestation theme to them The ads ran on Flash FM and another radio station that I can't think of right now The game has other Child molestion themes on the radio and even Lazlow on Integerty 20 makes a few to a 13 year old that is selling pot on the streets (radio only)) There are a few other references to it that I do not know of but the complaint is about the in game website only It real life it directs you to the GTA IV websitennA NSPCC spokesperson told a newspaper:nIt is disturbing that it is meant to be funny and that it is glamorising something that is actually really shocking and upsetting I just think it is in very poor taste and they should withdraw itnnI spoke with a victim of child molestation about the very issue I was told that he supports the statement that was released by the NSPCC I was also told that he would show his dislike of this by no longer buying Rockstar's games I agree whole heartedly I wasn't happy about the theme that was introduced in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas I didn't like the way it was portrayed in this game but not enough to get rid of the game I avoid the website and play my own music when I play this game I don't know that victims of this crime go through and I won't guess nnOne thing about this game that all those that oppose it keep missing is tat it lampoons everyone The person I spoke with said that it should have listed the fact that the makes fun of this crime and if I hadn't of told him about he would not have known While I agree with this you would have to put every thing that would offend other people downYou would come up with a pretty thick booklet about those things MADD does not like the fact you can drive drunk in this game and they demanded it have an 'AO' Rating just for thatnnI have made a prediction the next group to complain about this game will be the survivors and the families of those killed in 911 The game that takes place in a city thats based off of New York where the World Trade Center was destroyed The entire city is locked down due to a terrorist threat A dirty bomb I think The bridges are blocked by the LCPD and going past them gets you a six star wanted rating The highest level obtainable in the gamennAs far as the comment made by The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children goes I agree whit their statement completelyas long as they say the same thing about child molestion being used in other forms of media I know Law Order and CSI Miami did a few episodes that revolves around this very subject

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

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

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
