Learned something about payola: it helped put Rusty Warren on the charts, with the practice for comedy records being less attention-worthy for the authorities than rock.

How was that?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:31pm
doctorjazz:

It was great! (Murray isn't quite the powerhouse he was 20 years ago, but who is? He played tenor great, did 1 song on bass clarinet, had D.D. Jackson in the band, what could be bad?)

@doctorjazz
Are you reading Forces in Motion? If so, great book!
Avatar 3:33pm
geezerette:

Doug,doc, "Forces in Motion" Anthony Braxton?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:34pm
doctorjazz:

Don't mean to imply his playing was deficient-he circular breathed (?) and played incredibly long lines, it was great to hear him. I just remember him blowing the roof off...

Yeah, Forces In Motion is the book, just at the beginning, mostly discussing Sun Ra, though Braxton does seem very sweet...

Forces in Motion: yes yes yes. (How did you find your copy, if I may ask, @doctorjazz?)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:36pm

@Jeff, you had recommended it, so I just looked for it on Amazon, and ordered a copy from them.

@Dean, I was tempted to stay for the late set (being a school day, and maybe a bit responsible, sent me home after the early set). And, he's going to have the Octet Friday and Saturday; not likely I'll make it again, but it would be nice.
