An' uncle russell was singin'/nahhhhhh/ nah nah nah nah nah/nahnahnahnah/ nah nah nah nah nahhhh...

Song is about surrender at Appomattox Courthouse though....

^Indeed, Chenners will rise again, but in what form? He's exhausted almost most everything I can think of, with the exception of being reborn as the next Carlos Castaneda. Mescaline anyone?

By the way Shamrockmonkey, expect something good coming your way via Paypal in the next 24hrs. Honest.

The beauty of music, I suppose, is that one can always discover something new. In this case, I had never heard of The Peddlers. Something new for my American ears.

^I'd never heard of 'em either. I can't decide whether I like them or not. Here you go:

^ I'm always amazed when people write-off Jazz... How can music of that complexity & power ever be dismissed?

Jazz is always a challenge to expand on whatever you think you know. It can provoke as well as soothe. It's pure aural art.

shamrockmonkey · 2010-04-27 02:05:12

Its America's classical music. With all the good and bad that attitude imparts....the attitude that it's something so utterly highbrow that it can't be mixed with fun does so damned much to hold it back from an expanded/new audience, at least in my experience......

I always hate those reggae fans who say "There's nothing wrong with jazz, it just smells a bit funny!" As they chuckle smoking an extra long spliff of White Widow.

It is indeed, America's classical music. And in truth, classical symphony music is a creation of central and eastern Europe (east of the Rhine) only.

Same as real jazz is only American, well at least the spring of each movement in jazz.

shamrockmonkey · 2010-04-27 23:44:40

I agree with the sentiment. What irritates me is the behavior that goes along with it....the attitude that it should be enjoyed only in rapt, chaste silence like the frigging metropolitan opera or something. The next evanston resident who i hear hush someone at a jazz club or complain about someone dancing is getting it between the eyes.

I hope Mose sued them for that...

g.g.

Chris_H · 2010-04-28 04:48:39

It was a UK top ten hit in December 1960, so it was maybe the first UK Mose rip-off.

Dakar is a great album, I've got a copy on that Prestige 'Trane collection Interplay. Probably the best album in the collection.

Its bedtime in the Hepcat household, the bambinos won't go to bed, the missis is having ago, the mother-in-law's somewhere around, so I've just poured myself an extra large two finger Arran 12 year old, single barrel, unchillfiltered piece of bliss. Just pressed the play button on Jimmy Smith's Walk On The Wild Side. All is well in the world.

Chet Baker & Piero Umiliani 'I Soliti Ignoti' - tracks from the soundtrack of classic italian caper movie 'Robbery By Persons Unknown' (remade twice as Crackers and Welcome to Collingwood).

Baker didn't play on the original soundtrack but did on the sequel score L'Audace Colpe dei Soliti Ignoti (also on the same album).

The whole movie in Italian can be seen here. Worth watching even just the credits for the Mulligan influenced 'Gassman Blues' over the intro.
