ffernbus3 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Clark Terry....."Mumbles." How about Roy Eldridge? Cat Anderson? Doc Cheatham? Arturo Sandoval? Wayne Bergeron? Conte Candoli? Uncle Jack Sheldon? Find a video copy of "Sass and Brass," Ella and a bunch of trpt. players, Freddy Hubbard, Jon Faddis (I think), some heavy guys...and Al Hirt. I though Hirt would fold but he blew away the other guys! Took 'em to school. RON HOUSLEY Old school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosthumbleone Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I saw Clark Terry this past December in Pitt. He's half-blind, in a wheel chair most of the time and he still played his ### off. He was a guest artist performing with Monte Alexander's trio. After the concert he signed autographs from his wheelchair until the last person had gone. Truly a great American artist and human being.

RON HOUSLEY Old school. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Reminds me a little of the Santa Barbara Jazz Festival back in 1981 at the heighth of my fancraziness for Maynard--and they have a "trumpet summit" featuring Maynard, Chet "Drugged Out and Could Barely Stand" Baker, Clark Terry, Jack Sheldon, and this young kid who ALMOST schooled Maynard on the essence of playing high...maybe you heard of him...Al Vizzutti. It was cool when they had a jam session at the end, all the players were standing up in a line, and trading solos and what not...Maynard on one end, Al down on the other end...and Al just fricken went to town. Screaming...BEAUTIFUL sound and great technique...and Maynard leaned forward and looked down the line with a "holy crap" look on his face, and then preceded to lay the "old school smack down"...the crowd went nuts. And I was on the first row of this thing having the time of my life in my post 10th grade summer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have since reformed and no longer do the white powder, but what a fun time we had in the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex VK DM Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 VK beats us at one particular show and the drum major pulls out this E.T. doll (note our opener was the soundtrack from E.T.) and starts beating it senselessly with this tiny little itty bitty stick. OH MY GOSH!!!! Even WE lost it as we were standing out on the field during retreat (which didn't happen very oftern) it was so funny. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> MAN THAT WAS A FUN TIME!! 2 corps couldn't have come closer to throw blows than the 89 VK-Flee Ranchers (I'm man Freelancers). But that was on the field, we had a BLAST with the Freelancers on our free day in Montreal. Can anyone say "Beer Gardens". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
