  Gary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word Gary is a local term used by people in the Midlands of the United Kingdom to refer to a Chav or Townie.
The usage of Gary as a male given name in America is interestingly intertwined with the success of the actor Gary Cooper.
According to the Social Security Administration, Gary was relatively rare as a given name in the 1900-1920s period (e.g., in the 1910s it was the 677th most frequent name, given to less than 0.01% of the babies born in that decade).

 Gary Bartz: Music Is His Sanctuary
Gary Bartz is one top-notch jazz musician whose profile has suffered because he dared to believe that jazz and other fl music genres are not separate, but rather are pieces of a great whole.
Bartz was part of Davis’s anti-funk/anti-jazz band, but didn’t do much recording with Davis, though he can be heard on some live recordings such as Live-Evil and Isle of Wight.
Bartz should be one of the most recognizable figures in post-1960s jazz, but his interest in playing beyond the confines of what saxophonist Courtney Pine has called ‘the jazz room’ effectively derailed his career for a time—proof positive that rewriting jazz history to suit an ulterior agenda is dangerous business.

 Gary Bartz/NTU Troop: I've Known Rivers & Other Bodies
Gary Bartz certainly hasn’t gotten the respect he deserves over the years since he first came to the attention of the public as Miles Davis’s replacement for Wayne Shorter.
Bartz is clearly operating under the spell of John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme, as were many other young musicians of the day.
Bartz’s clear, sharp, inventive alto and soprano sax work is nearly always front and center, and despite the electronics and RandB trappings, you still get plenty of straight out, inspired jazz blowing.

This out-of-print LP (one of several from the Prestige and Milestone catalog that are long overdue to be reissued on CD) was one of the finest of altoist Gary Bartz's early years.
The 24-minute multi-movement "Another Earth" is a stormy affair matching Bartz with trumpeter Charles Tolliver, the fiery tenor Pharoah Sanders, pianist Stanley Cowell, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Freddy Waits.
The flip side of the record has three quartet outings by Bartz, Cowell, Workman and Waits, including the mysterious ballad "Dark Nebula" and an uptempo blues, "UFO," plus a Bartz-Workman duet on "Lost in the Stars." Well worth searching for, this adventurous music is quite colorful and always holds one's interest.

After an intermission, the group played Malachi's piece, "Nubian Call." After explaining how and why this piece was written, he mentioned that it makes use of his knowledge of Slonimsky's Thesaurus of Scales, which he had studied in college because he had heard about how 'Trane had devoured it.
