The mail.jazz mailing list has been inactive for over a year now. This is an attempt to revive it. I am taking over from Ken Dykes as moderator. I will shortly be sending mail to existing list members, and to people who sent "please add-me" requests to Ken over the past year. This will check out the mail paths, and inform list members who don't read USENET of the change in moderator. If you are a list member and don't hear from me by early September, please send me mail. Send mail to me at attunix!mingus. attunix talks to all of the following: allegra, amdahl, athena, bellcore, cbosgd, clyde, codas, cuae2, decvax, garage, houxm, ihnp4, mtune, princeton, research, ucbvax, uel, ulysses, utzoo, vax135, watmath. It also talks to many other machines not listed here. Anyone is welcome to join. All you have to do is like jazz, be interested in jazz, have heard jazz, have heard of jazz or be curious about jazz. Hope to hear from you! -- Marcel-Franck Simon attunix!mingus Min pouki sa tout moun ap mande'-m' ki sa siyati-moin vle' di?

Please include me on the Jazz Mailing List. I hope that this is sufficient to have me added. Please let me know if it is not. Also I appologize to those who didn't care to read this. I just wanted to make sure that I would be added. Adlai

Sorry for not mailing, but our mail to UUCP is worse than USPS. Please include me! khayo@math.ucla.edu ----------------------------------------------------------- I'm sick & tired of editing my incorrect address in the header. The *correct* one is khayo@MATH.UCLA.EDU; I have no connection with the CS Department, except that we breathe the same smog.

Or Paul Horn? You might consider Bobbi Humphrey (*not* sure of spelling here), although the last I heard of her she was pretty much into simplistic psuedo jazz/R&B. There was this Belgian, Bobby Jaspars, who recorded with J.J. back in the fifties. Locally, San Diego, that is, there is Hollis Gentry, who plays flute as well as sax. Probably lots of others. Of those I mentioned, my choice would be Tabackin, who is matchless both on tenor and flute. ------------------------------------- My employer, CSC, has no position on jazz flutists, nor on any type of flutists as far as I know, so these comments are soley my own... Is that all right, Gary? -------------------------------------

The title was something like "The Mann with The Most". The group Free-Flight has a superb lead jazz flutist although the name escapes me; it might have been mentioned above. There's also J.P. Rampal, if you want to count his recording of Claude Bolling's Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano. Evan Bauman ..!iuvax!ndmath!ndcheg .... bozo inews!...

If you meant that he is the best among those who play BOTH tenor and flute, I think that that may be closer to the truth but still not quite there. If you mean matchless on EITHER the tenor or flute, I say: NO WAY. James Newton is a fabulous flutist and an even more fabulous composer and band leader. Probably the best flute "player" I have heard is Steve Kujala who recently played with Chick Corea. I am not particularly fond of the music he chooses - of course, I don't really care for the Akiyoshi/Tabackin "bag" either - but he plays phenomenally: almost unbelievable technique. As far as those who play BOTH tenor and flute, I personally don't think that many are better than Dave Liebman. In fact I find him to be one of the great jazz musicians of modern times. Everyone should go see him live; it is truly an unbelievable experience. And to go further with the tenor there are David Murray, George Adams, Randy Brecker, Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, Bob Berg, Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon, etc. etc. etc. (Tabackin who?) Not to be too negative BUT the Shank, Rogers, Horn, Mariano, Tabackin crowd always seemed to me to represent a watering down of good jazz. Kind of like the impact Pat Boone and Paul Anka had on rock. And today the same thing is happening with the advent of the "new age." (Where's my quiche, Devon, it's time to party!) (For those of you who saw "Round Midnight," while the Dexter Gordon character was struggling with his greatness, guys like those above were making a killing; at least for jazz). In truth Tabackin is a good player, but his legend will barely survive this posting. Ornette will always live. Adlai

Well, I am only a long-time (since junior high school in mid-fifties)
fan, not a jazz expert, so I accept your comments on the West Coast
crowd as worthy of consideration. I know that the early fifties Gerry
Mulligan, Shorty Rogers, Dave Bruebeck, Chet Baker approach to jazz is
not highly thought of in many quarters, but it's one of my favorites.
Hey, didn't Miles start the cool school ("Birth of the Cool", Capitol
Jazz Classics, recorded 1949-50)?
I still stand by my statement on Tabackin. He is surely the best on
either instrument I have ever heard in person. Of course, this is
largely a matter of taste.

Please, folks, this is news.misc, not rec.music.jazz.bicker. If there is
indeed a jazz mailing list, please conduct jazz discussions via it and not
here. If you feel a burning need to conduct these discussions in the other
music newsgroups, please omit news.misc from the newsgroup line.
