I watched I Called Him Morgan again last night on YouTube (see below). I’ve just put YouTube on and under recommended was an interview with Lee Morgan from 1969. Posted just a month ago by the interviewer, Dan McClosky.

Re: Radio interview
What a nice intro! Jimmy Smith, Kenny Burrell, Grady Tate. Inimitable groove. Absolutely fantastic. - Haven't heard all of it (the sound is lo-fi, unfortunately), but there are quite a few useful pieces of info. Such as the fact that he was always in charge of who he picked, what he played etc. - something that wasn't always the case, not even with Blue Note, I would expect.

watched to I Called Him Morgan at last. just like gtf, I don't like films, any genres. in this peculiar case, I wasn't focused on music as when I listen to records. music from records, or live concerts, do not let me concentrate other than on music itself. this documentary instead, presented an aspect of the musician as a man, out of the scene. a man who plays, smiles, jokes, but suffers, cries and dies too. have been deeply touched. it seldom happens. note: know my English is rather poor but understanding Helen's speech was more than problematic.

George Duke: "Overdubbing isn't necessary in jazz. You can't express yourself with overdubbing, it's all spontaneity ..."
That was 1970. Times were changing fast. Another decade, and producing a Miles Davis record without overdubbing would have become inconceivable. Oh wait ... there are the 1957 Porgy & Bess sessions. So hard to generalize, my gosh.

[ ... ] I don't like films, any genres. [ ... ] There must be exceptions, I'm sure. Do you know "Down By Law" by Jim Jarmusch? John Lurie! Tom Waits! Roberto Benigni!! (Original sound is indispensable.) |
