Jazz for aficionados
This is a cool tune by "Eddie Harris", he was a most creative person. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wLSlaP8MOQ This was recorded in 69, that was a far out year; it was the one some people lost track of, but you would have had to have been there and into things that caused one to lose track of time. It's a funny thing, but I'm not in this present time, it's just going on without me. |
Eddie Harris and 1969: I was getting used to life in Europe. Glad I wasn’t here. Eddie Harris was great, with Les McCann, on "Swiss Movement". Hard to believe it’s the same player. Mo' better Harris https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8YOLY4Tats Cheers |
Who made you the decider in Chief of what is and what is not good jazz? 1969 was a very good year for me and Eddie Harris; I partied from dusk till dawn on his music; I got used to that while you were in Europe, and I always brought "Cold Duck" wine to the party. Cold Duck is the name of a sparkling wine made in the United States. The wine was invented by Harold Borgman, the owner of Pontchartrain Wine Cellars in Detroit, in 1937. The Cold Duck was made at the Ponchartrain Wine Cellars by simultaneously pouring Champagne and sparkling burgundy into a hollow stem wine glass. The recipe was based on a German legend involving Prince Clemens Wenceslaus of Saxony ordering the mixing of all the dregs of unfinished wine bottles with Champagne. The wine produced was given the name Kaltes Ende ("cold end" in German), until it was altered to the similar-sounding term Kalte Ente meaning "cold duck".[1] The exact recipe now varies, but the original combined one part of Mosel wine, one part Rhine wine with one part of Champagne, seasoned with lemons and balm mint. Some of my other favorites by Eddie Harris; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtahaV6DU4g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IyXo9jL7Vc&list=PLCX_SlmERpRMvUecsrv6ZqxFRarWJX1Nf He blew a beautiful horn. |
