…and now for something completely different! 3049 - 2026

These damned religious fanatics, politicians, warlords, and so on... Instead of sending the children of their peoples to THEIR OWN WARS, these idiots should settle their differences in large arenas with boxing matches or football games! For example, the "peace-making" Evangelical Messiah Agent Orange against the belligerent Putin, or the Pope in his ridiculous disguise against the bearded Ayatollahs with beards down to their navels... More examples welcome! - RYP

PLEASE READ OUR RULES:
We have a first entry each day that is a picture or a video, and only in that entry you can place your music links and requests (NO ALBUMS OR BOOKS RELEASED IN 2024 AND AFTER, AND A DAILY LIMIT OF 3 ALBUMS OR BOOKS AND NO REQUESTS FOR FLAC OR OTHER LOSSLESS, IF YOU WANT FLAC, BUY THE ALBUM)! Here you can say what you like, unless it's offensive, racist or discriminatory! Please keep your language polite and respectful. All other official posts will only allow comments related to the official posts and such. That way it will keep things much more organized and tidy. Enjoy! RYP and Gyro1966 and Gaius R.I.P.

Robert Ashley Day #11

The first of today's offerings comes from 1978, a two-part composition with narration (one in Spanish, the other in heavily altered English) which was commissioned by public radio station KUNM in Albuquerque. Plus more live performances, from 2011 a restaging of his legendary 1967 opera as part of Performa 11. And finally the story of a person on trial, who's mysterious mood owes much to John LeCarré’s world of espionage.

@Searnav - Could the Hammond organ player credit be an allusion to Felix Cavaliere of the (Young) Rascals, rather than Felix Pappalardi?

Alain Goraguer And His Trio - Go-go-Goraguer - 1956
"Alain Goraguer (French pronunciation: [alɛ̃ ɡɔʁaɡɛʁ 20 August 1931 – 13 February 2023) was a French jazz pianist, sideman of Boris Vian and Serge Gainsbourg, arranger and composer."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain_Goraguer
https://pixeldrain.com/u/BMb862am

Art Simmons - Art Simmons Quartet - 1956
"Arthur Eugene Simmons (February 5, 1926 – April 23, 2018) was an American jazz pianist.
Simmons was born in Glen White, West Virginia, in February 1926. He played in a band while serving in the U.S. military in 1946, then remained in Germany after the war, studying music, and moved to Paris in 1949. There he studied at the Paris Conservatory and the Ecole Normale de Musique, playing with Charlie Parker and Kenny Clarke at the Paris Jazz Festival; he also played with Aaron Bridgers, Don Byas, Robert Mavounzy, and Nelson Williams. Simmons led his own group at the Ringside Club in 1951. In the early 1950s he played with Dizzy Gillespie and Quincy Jones, and toured London with singers such as Bertice Reading. As resident pianist at the Mars Club, he worked with Michel Gaudry, Pierre Cullaz, and Elek Bacsik, and accompanied touring singers such as Carmen McRae and Billie Holiday (1958). In the early 1960s he played in a duo with Art Taylor.
Simmons also did arranging work for Barclay Records. In 1971 he played in Spain; following this he returned to the United States and retired. He died on April 23, 2018, at the age of 92 at his home in Beckley, West Virginia."

Yesterday, at a record fair I picked up a 7" by Mama Tick called 'Torture'. Would anyone be able to share their album 'Gimme The Five Bucks'? Here's more about them: https://www.discogs.com/artist/348384-Mama-Tick?srsltid=AfmBOopTYqTdXL_vIag9wLMhN6ELfOqC4ZlBz4RLMo3KzRDebb5FUBM9

Searnav said...

Yes, you're right; I mixed things up. Pappalardi was a bass player. Well, the mistake probably comes from both of them being Italian Americans.

Glad you liked Blue Note’s The Best of The West albums. Sadly, checking Discogs, it appears those two are all there is. I do have other west coast jazz compilations and I'm happy to post those.
