Conference marvin::uk_music

    For sax and blues/jazz, try Eddy "Cleanhead" Vinson. He recorded
    (he died a few months ago) with various others and on several labels,
    although I know Charly have some his work on LP (maybe CD) in his
    own name, and sessioning with others.
    
    Other jazz saxophonists worth buying without hearing first are Stan
    Getz, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley to name but 3. These are
    more jazz than blues. Coltrane and Adderley feature on Miles
    Davis' "Kind of Blue" album and sleeve notes by Benny Green assure
    you that the tracks have a blues structure, but it isn't obvious
    blues, like, say, Muddy waters; "Kind of Blue" was recorded in the
    60's but you wouldn't think so if you heard it, and music like "Blue
    in Green" from this album should be available on the National Health.
    Great stuff.

    RE: New "young" Saxophonist from Brixton.
    
    Isn't it andy Sheppard

       Mark.

    Courtney Pine was spot on...
    
    Tanks

I come from a rock and roll background, so I don't know much about jazz.
But from my point of view, I like David Sanborn, specifically 'One From
the Heart' LP. This has some real nice slow sax solos, which I enjoy
listening to. 

Alan S.

    
    	re David Sanborn,
    
    	His new one's called 'Close Up' and it's a stoater!
    
    	Doug.

    listened to the CDs last night.
    
    Getz is out of this world, well these tracks where good - "Stan's
    blues" was definatly somethin' else....                    
    
    many thanks again... as money allows I will try some of the others.
    
    any one know of a true 100% "blues" sax lead/solo band/person who has
    recorded ??

    re .13....
    >"    any one know of a true 100% "blues" sax lead/solo 
    band/person who has recorded ??"
    
    I think you have problem there; as I see (hear?) it most blues is
    vocal, with instrumental breaks, some of which feature sax. The
    few instrumental blues tracks I've heard, the lead is usually guitar,
    piano (or some other keyboard) or harmonica.
    
    Very little jazz has one instrument leading all the way; even
    "Cleanhead", in spite of being a sax lead, split it up with the
    rest of the band(s). But he played the blues alright; slow, fast,
    funky, sweet, take your pick. Check him out, you won't be
    disappointed.

    Dave

    
    	A new one on Saturday -
    
    	Eric Marienthal - 'Voices of the Heart'  tremendipops
    
    	and since he plays Alto Sax, this brought home the glaring
    	booboo in .6, Sidney Bechet plays SOPRANO Sax, eek!
    	
    	Another you could try is Barbara Thompson's Paraphenalia. 	

        	Doug.

    Hi Mark - I know what you mean about work getting in the way, its
    a bugger isnt it? I could quite happily 'groove to the sounds' all
    day!
    For a very blues oriented sax player, but still in the jazz area,
    you might want to try Arnette (sp?) Cobb, but hes a bit raucous
    perhaps. Try also any old stuff with Coleman Hawkins on it, he's
    quite bluesy a lot of the time.
    How was that Coltrane album, was it fairly straight or was it some
    of his stranger playing? I love it all, but some of his later work
    is definitely *not* easy listening (Ascension, for instance)
                      
    Good listening
    
    Bob

        >>	Another you could try is Barbara Thompson's Paraphenalia. 	
          
          I'll second that! Saw them live at Winchester a couple
       of Sundays ago.... it was a completely 'blind tasting' cos
       all I knew about them was Jon Hiseman (ex. Mayall, Colliseum?
      etc)..... terrific.
    
          Their latest album is called A Cry from the Heart (If my
      memory serves me well) and has just been released. The title
     track live was something else.
    
     BTW Barbara plays a variety of saxophones and other bits!
    
    Ray.

    Help please,
                Who sang the song that goes like........
    Hello this is Johnny I am sorry but i am not home,but if you leave me
    your name and number i swear as soon as i get in i'll phone.
    
    Don't know if the word swear should be there.
    
                                         FANKS..
     

    Curiosity Killed the Cat - Name & Number (I think that's what it's
    called!)
    
    "Hey, what ya doin'?  Sorry you couldn't get through, If you leave your
    message, name and number, I'll get right back to you....."
    
    tra la la....
    
    Russell.
    

    It sounds like Fine Young Cannibals to me.  Their 1st hit, but I can't
    remember what it's called.
    
    `Johnny, we're sorry, why don't you come on home'
    
    matty
    
    ps.  Russell, howz tricks?

    It was by a female singer. She was a "folky" and dreamy.
    
    That's all I remember.
    
    Not much help really!

>>>    Hello this is Johnny I am sorry but i am not home,but if you leave me
>>>    your name and number i swear as soon as i get in i'll phone.

	I think it was called "Can you read between the lines" and that the name
was Joanie.  A guy sings most of the song, the girlie just does the telephone
answering machine bit.  Don't know who the band/singer is though, long before my
time... :-)  (Could it be the Eagles?)

-Brian.

Re: -.1 (meself)

I'm wrong!  They're two different (equally bad) songs.  I think that the one we
want is called Joanie.  Poor Joanie has been killed (in a car crash), but
singer doesn't know it yet.  Sorry about the red herring. 

-Brian.

    HELP !!!
    
    I heard a song on the radio over christmas called 'Riding shotgun down
    the avalanche', but missed the artist's name due to going under a
    tunnel and losing the signal.
    
    It was a woman vocalist, and I'd be well mipressed if anyone could tell
    me who it was....
    
    			Cheers in advance,
    
    				Andy.
     

    I always suspected you could be easily mipressed Andy!

    	I'm hoping that someone might be able to help me with this one.
     
      A few months ago (maybe as far back as September?) I heard somebody
    (think that it may have been that Nicky Campbell fella-this is getting
    vaguer by the minute i know, but hang in there with me-please)on the radio 
    talking about and playing tracks from an album. This was a double album
    which featured loads of different artists doing cover versions of Elvis
    (Presley) songs and I'm sure it was called "The Last Temptations of
    Elvis" or the like. He played Ian McCulloch doing "Return to Sender"
    (Excellent it was too) and the Robert Cray band doing another. 
      I've asked for this at a few record shops (you know, once I'd
    actually plucked up enough courage to ask for it- Why is it that you
    always get the feeling everybody in record shops is in to buy something
    a lot trendier than you are, and that you'll get laughed out of the
    shop if anyone hears you saying it?) but none of them had ever heard of
    it. I even remember him (the DJ)saying that the proceeds from the sales 
    of the record were going to the Lord somethingorother's music trust who 
    help handicapped children.
    
    	So now we come to the big question. Did I imagine all this or am I
    not going completely off my tottie (yet)? Any help here would be
    appreciated.
    		Cheers,
    		    Johnny A.
                                             

    You didn't imagine it.  The album was put out last year by NME (or
    some such UK music rag.)  I just heard about it a couple of weeks
    ago, so I don't know much more (and living in Los Angeles doesn't
    help.)
    
    Probably someone over on your side of the pond (assuming you live
    in England) can give you more details.

    re .28
    See note 443.8 for track listing and ordering address (if still
    available)
    
    (It's of mixed brilliance, but the best songs make this a must buy.)
    
    Cheers,
    	George

    Its also available in Shops (Our Price, etc) - In fact I think I saw it
    in a sale in Our Price in Reading.

RE: .26

Shawn Colvin sing 'Shotgun down the avalanche'.
It is available on her album 'Steady On' which is pretty good
if you like light accoustic rock songs with small amounts of
country mixed in.  I believe that the song is also on the CBS
new music sampler entitled Theodore.

    RE:.32
    
    Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, and once again, thankyou.
     
    					Andy.
    

    I've got another one... (ooh err!)..
    
    A fairly well known song, starts summat like:
    
    'Everybody's running around, trying to find certainties'
    
    It's just that the bloody renault Clio advert has some music on it that
    reminds me of this song every time I see it, and it's driving me nuts.
    
    						Andy. 

    There's a Robert Palmer track called Johnny and Mary which starts with
    the line;
    
    Johnny's always running around ,trying to find certainties.
    
    Could this bit it dear boy
    
    Rich
    

    Of course, cheers.
