redbeansandrice Gary Burton – Next Generation von 2004… hatte geguckt, was der Schlagzeuger von dem Houben & Son Album sonst noch so gemacht hatte…
ach so, ich dachte, Du hörst Dich jetzt mal durchs Kenton-Burton-Kontinuum
an der Stelle gab es uebrigens ziemlichen Protest auf facebook ueber den Iverson Artikel, link, in den comments, vonwegen Ellington wurde in Berklee immer unterrichtet, North Texas und Berklee gehoeren nicht in die gleiche Schublade… und und und… insbesondere, Steve Armour schreibt
I remember Herb Pomeroy’s two-year-long arranging and composition curriculum built entirely around Duke Ellington’s arranging and composition techniques. I played in the Line Writing Band, which existed for the sole purpose of playing student compositions based on Ellington’s music. I remember playing a ballet suite Herb arranged based on Duke’s score for „Anatomy of a Murder.“ I remember the very first thing I played at Berklee being „Cottontail,“ and being required to learn at least a dozen Ellington tunes. I remember Gary Burton’s class emphasizing the great African-American lineage of harmonic innovations, including Ellington and Strayhorn, and onward to Trane and Miles. I learned about Duke and Pops at Berklee, not from Stanley Crouch or Wynton Marsalis. (I still don’t know anything about Stan Kenton, btw. And what does Gary Burton have to do with Kenton anyway? Is there a line from one to the other, beyond their ethnic identities?)
(ansonsten war Matthew Shipp Seite ja das Zentrum der Empoerung auf facebook, danke an soulpope fuer den Hinweise)
In Sachen Shipp werde ich nicht fündig (es gibt 20 oder so auf FB und Google hilft gerade nicht weiter) – Link?

what is the lowest thing in music criticism ever– it’s Crouch outing Cecil Taylor in the village voice in the 70s for being gay –all to settle a personal vendetta — just think about how low a fucking piece of shit you have to do this — absolute garbage -crap and shit -you have to be the lowest of the lowest of the low — but Crouch knows he was a no talent motherfucker -he was a con artist and very very clever so he could construct a whole bullshit narrative as a provocateur to give the impression of something happening -but at the very bottom of it all he was completely empty and a complete poser who was clever enough to pull the wool over peoples eyes and to sometimes come up with a few paragraphs that said something –his whole thing was driven by a concept of social climbing -he wanted white people who had money to think he was important –that is what drove him- Wynton was the vessel he used for that –that is my opinion of him but i have had many conversations with him and listened to every aspect of his syntax and think i have a beat on his warped world view –on a few occasions he told me “i am superior to you-i make way more money then you-so what you have some albums and some people like you but i don’t see you on tv like i am -you live in the lower east side -you are not in the social circles i am in-i am superior to you .
needless to say he was one of the most insecure pieces of shit ever– guess i would be as insecure if i was as fucking ugly and as much of a bullshit pretender as he was– on a certain level i don’t care about my encounters with him–what he did to Cecil -[in the 70s] is unthinkable — really just think how low of a piece of shit you have to be to do that -no one does that — fuck this piece of garbage ….
