In case you didn't hear about it. the legendary Soupy Sales passed on last month. I didn't really get a chance to give him his just due as I was in the middle of the Halloween countdown and a Soupy post just didn't fit. So, today I offer you Soupy's first album. It's a soundtrack of sorts but more of a companion album to his television show. The show originated in 1953 from the studios of WXYZ-TV in...

Gilad Atzmon (alt/sop/clt), Frank Harrison (pno), ? (bs), ? (dms). Sigamos String Quartet. This was more than just a re-creation of the legendary Bird with Strings albums from the 1950s - it was much much more. Admitedly Gilad paid lip-service to Charlie Parker inasmuch as he faithfully re-produced the themes and the string voicings were more or less as per the original but in-between he was very much...

I haven't written much about Gillian Tett lately. To tell you the truth, she hasn't really been on my mind.But it is past midnight now and I am listening to Charlie Parker with Strings, and - surprisingly - there are no voices, no spirits, no mystical children, to bother me, and so I turn my mind to earthly matters. I think of Gillian. Visualize her. I am in the mood. Where is she in this lonely

Just a Rundown facebook activity .. or shall i say the facebook activity on my page.. Along with some other stuff.. Random Status Update Zion Archive Computer : In the beginning, there was man. And for a time, it was good. But humanity's so-called civil societies soon fell victim to vanity and corruption. Then man made the machine in his own likeness. Thus did man become the architect of his own demise....

After a recent meeting with Claire Delamore regarding the possibilities of incorporating some jazz into the Lit and Phil's calender of events we talked about the library's extensive music collection and the amount of jazz it contained. As a result, Claire sent the following which I am sure is of interest to North-east jazz enthusiasts. Lance. ----- The Literary and Philosophical Society (Lit &...

I stayed up until 4:30 am watching the New York Yankees win their 40th AL Pennant, and now I'm too wired to sleep. In light of that, I have a few random thoughts. Last night, Andy Pettitte worked the strike zone like an attentive lover. I wish I could trade places with it. I'd tell him myself but he's yet to respond to the last letter I sent with locks of my hair in it. If Robinson Cano was a genre...
