	divastation: emmylou harris
		harris' hot band, which would eventually see the names rodney cromwell, hank devito and albert lee pass through its roster, set the stage for the many ground-breaking accomplishments that harris would acheive throughout her career.
		harris' music straddled the line that separates folk and country music and, while the former tends to be a bit more liberal, the later tends to tolerate women only in the role of crowd-pleasing frontwoman.
		harris' major-label debut, pieces of sky, was successful not only because it spawned the hit single "if i could only win your love", but also because it did win her the love of producer brian ahern.

		Musician, author, and voice artist Lee Adams began her career at the tender age of 4, singing and dancing on the bill with a variety of acts.
		Lee Adams: I think it started with a musician friend of mine who was scoring industrial films and cable commercials and such.
		Lee Adams: The first was a delightful adventure but I was sort of falling forward constantly: “Why would she do that?” “Oh, maybe this is why.” “How did she get there?” “Oh, maybe this is how.” That sort of thing.

	‘Mo’ Better Blues’ (R)
		There are exciting things in "Mo' Better": Bill Lee's orchestral score is lushly evocative (though at times more evocative of a classicist like Copland than of a jazz musician), and cinematographer Ernest Dickerson has given the picture a deep, vibrant, colorful look -- his palette avoids the smoky cliches of the typical jazz film.
		If in "Do the Right Thing" Lee worked on a broad, social canvas, examining the effects of racism on the culture, in "Mo' Better" he has narrowed the focus to emphasize the personal, examining sex, love and the whole "man-woman thing." And from the look of things, this is not his main area of expertise.
		In one scene, Clarke shows up -- as she so often does -- during the time Bleek reserves for practice, then after luring him into the "mo' better" -- Lee says the phrase came from a friend in Washington and means making love -- bites his lip so hard it breaks the skin.

	Wilkinson-Related Announcements
		I am searching for William E. "Bill" Wilkinson, a shipmate of mine on the USS LOWRY DD770, in 1952 and 53.
		Bill and I were in the torpedo gang when we went to Koreain 1952.His home at the time was Phila,PA. He was discharged in about 1955, married in Phila but left the area before 1973, possibly to OH or IN.

	Amazon.com: Music: New Concepts of Artistry in Rhythm
		I can think of no other recording by Kenton, and perhaps by any other musician, that features so many great arrangers and players--from Bill Russo and Bill Holman to Maynard, Rosolino, and Lee Konitz.
		The set opens with "Prologue (This Is an Orchestra!)," in which Kenton delivers a spoken-word explanation of the unit's purpose and introduces the members to the listener.
		After emerging from his psuedo-symphonic fling, Kenton assembled a hardbodied, swinging (detractors take note) band of phenomenal soloists who were equal to the sometimes overtaxing arrangements.

	[hybrid] artist bio - John Zorn
		Along the way, he has formed tribute bands to play the music of Coleman, Hank Mobley, Lee Morgan and others; featured musicians as diverse as Big John Patton, Tim Berne, Bill Frisell and the Kronos Quartet; and assembled a group called Masada that merges Coleman with Yiddish music.
		Zorn believes that the age of the composer as an "autonomous musical mind" had come to an end in the late 20th century; hence the collaborative nature of much of his work, both with active musicians and music and styles of the past.
		It is possible to call John Zorn a "jazz" musician, but that would be much too limiting a description.

	Foghat - The Millennium Tour
		I'm sure that Foghat was probably one of the opening bands on this bill, like when I saw them, so their set length was obviously limited, but they should have made special arrangements, or combined two shows, considering that they were recording for this DVD.
		When I heard that Foghat was playing my local concert venue back in 1999, joining John Kay and Steppenwolf, Eddie Money, and David Lee Roth, I jumped at the chance to see them for the first time.
		Unfortunately, that day never came, which means that I can write about it, without asserting any of the bitter, failed-musician attitude that is so prevalent among many "professional" music critics, who take out their resentment on the poor Poison's and Warrant's of the world.

		I could never have imagined back in 1959 that my brother Roy would become a great and respected musician and composer, and that a boyhood idol of mine, Bert Weedon, would be the one to read Roy’s eulogy.
		I saw Bert Weedon one more time, in 1993; he read the eulogy at my brother Roy’s funeral.

		While his later orchestras, which included Cootie Williams, Billy Butterfield, Lou McGarity, Jimmy Maxwell, Charlie Queener, Aaron Sachs, Red Norvo, John Best, Peanuts Hucko, Frank Beach, and singer Peggy Lee, continued to be successful, Goodman drifted toward clarinet playing (in classical music, especially).

	Alex Chilton- his solo years
		Born in Memphis on December 28th, 1950, Chilton, like every musician born in that uglybeautiful town during the post-war years, was given the Stax/Sun/Hi imprint, as if Jackie Wilson, Jerry Lee, and Bill Black were his original whooping crane mothers.
		Chilton's singing and guitar disown revival-style public utterances: each high note captured in voice, each quirky pop detour from a Harrison-like solo, are journeys that disembark soon enough in the middle of the night, seeking the present, and there, id-like, Chilton thumps his chest.
		Chilton, a reformed drinker and drug taker, was in the '70's and beyond often described as dipsomaniacal and semi-deranged; we know with whatever certainty that he has always been unhealthily victimized by Don Juanism, astrological "philosophizing," and feisty standoffishness.
