With all due respect Joan, maybe you skimmed my email instead of truly reading it (since I was the only one who expressed that opinion, clearly you were addressing me, as opposed to "some people"). I said this: <> Then immediately following: <> Clearly, I didn't say I liked or disliked Peter's music based on "where it's being played, and where his album can be found in the music stores." I said I disliked it because I found it dull. Simple as that! And yes, most if not all smooth jazz stations have him as a core artist. It would be folly to discount that, since Peter owes a huge amount of success to it, whether he is self-proclaimed not-smooth-jazz or not. But that is not why I lost interest in Peter's music, even though he easily falls into that category (sorry). I was disappointed when I popped Promenade in for the first time, and have been since, with the exception of some tracks on Caravan and Perfect Moment, which, shocker of shockers, I own. That's all. As far as "paying attention", I ran right out to hunt down Reveillez-Vous (yeah, I probably spelled it wrong, sue me) after hearing it played on Jazz Trax with Art Good when it first came out. Since I was only thirteen I had to bribe my mom and dad to haul me all over town to find it. (The only place to carry it was the Harmony House in Sterling Heights, MI, rest in peace) When Excusez-Moi came up, I grabbed that sucker pronto as well. I appreciated Peter White when I was a wee bairn, so don't give me that about "paying attention," as if I'm some cockroach with no musical ear! Sorry to be so cranky, but I hate it when words are put into my mouth. Just because someone doesn't drink the Kool Aid on an artist you so passionately support doesn't mean they are any less musically savvy than you are. - --Leslie __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

What amazes me is how some of the songs were constructed by bits-- like how the actual song of 'An Olive Tree" sprung from a Kevin Robinson solo, and how the coda sprung from the drummer! Or how on "Cruising for Bruising", the music came first! I just love hearing what little there has been said about their creative process.

I saw him live in 1992 and he kicked my ass completely. He just has the blues inside that he can call out at will. Unbelievable. Pat Metheny is similar. I mean, he is a genius. Bar none. Sparse jazz trios, weird noise experiments, soundtracks, pop oriented stuff-- even ballets! Talk about a master composer of our time-- and such an ability to master so many styles. And yes, he can have the blues--oh man. Both of these men took the Fox Theatre down, and the audience was testifyin'! - --Leslie __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

One thing that bugs me about it is that it is designed to make it seem like your favorite local DJ was interviewing them live-- it contains the answers to questions only, and the liner notes contain a script of questions. It is the kind of scheme that could only be cooked up by Sony. ;-) That said, I could listen to her talk for hours. And it is really cool to hear Danny talk. It is a fascinating disc. They talk mostly about process of writing for The Sweetest Illustion, so you should be into it. > Phil/who is in Haslett, Mi.

Wayne did the arrangement and with those few pieces it actually sounds quite full. This arrangement was akin to pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Wayne has his keys set up so that the upper ranges of the keyboard sound like a piano, while the lower keys are programmed to sound like an upright/string bass. Wayne does the harmony vocal. To make up for the lack of horns Pam a nice high-pitched kinda scat. It really works. It's beautiful. About Pam, well, she's pretty much just local to the DC area, but she's been involved with national act called the Thievery Corporation. I really don't know anything about them except that Pam is not the lead singer (least I don't think so) and the music isn't like Pam's stuff. Pam did a couple of duo albums a ways back with a guy named Rick Harris, who sang, played trumpet and piano. They are a nice mix of standards and other stuff. She did a whole album of songs my Dave Frishberg. I really don't like that one at all--but it's really Frishbergs songs, not her. U-TOPIA is not actually a live album, but it has the club on the cover and has much of the material she performs there. This album was with Willentz and West and I think it's a very nice collection. Apparently she got her start in a 4-singer vocal jazz group called Mad Romance (which included Rick Harris). I guess they were a little like the Manhattan Transfer, but not so contemporary--a little more traditional.

So out there, yet embraced by the popular music scene at that time. Sometimes that happens, amazing isn't it? I'm so glad that she is still recording. "Be Yourself Tonight" is an old favorite. Oh, and what about Michael Franks? Some of the synth and keyboards in his '80s stuff was scary, but his lyrics have always fascinated me. Just so smart, and such clever phrasing. Not to mention the stories told. Gosh, "Soulmate," "Dr. Sax," "Lady Wants to Know (I just downloaded that one from Apple)," "Monkey See, Monkey Do"-- just fantastic lyrics.

My friend is a huge, huge Thievery fan. They are electronic for the most part but they incorporate jazzy, bossa-y sort of influences in some of their work. The British would call it "chill-out" music, which I would call and apt description. The sort of thing you can listen to when you are kicking back on the couch smoking a, um , cigarette. ;-) - --Leslie __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

I have not seen them anywhere else, with the exception of one PTTV poster pack. I think I have those. Without looking I think. I take it back--you wanna know what is bloody rare? The Vokal remix of Third Time Lucky. It does exist, but barely. What is a Vokal. Sounds like the commander of the universe Is that the techno remix record, I have a bizarre techno thing I have not listened to in a long time. They took basia voice tracks and sequenced them on techno beat. I remember it sounding like crap but fun anyway. My holy grail? An early Japanese pressing of T&T with original Japanese cover photo, which seems to have gotten switched out with the European brown shot in subsequent pressings. Boo. I suppose from a collectors point of view the Japanese items are the ones that I rarely saw. That T&T 12" I've never run across it but it would be a nice addition. Honestly about listening to basia I rarely play any of her music anymore. Waters of march, promises and some of the greatest hits and that is about it. I have been listening to her voice since 1984 and all of those early Matt Bianco songs and all of the basia songs have long since been burned into my head. My hobby is music and I listen very intently. I stick around on this list because of the people on it. But I have been groovin on a vast pile of new and old music ranging from Todd Rundgren to Kylie Minogue, Zero 7 to anything Brazilian . so call me worn out I'm just patiently waiting for some basia tunes, to kind of recharge my basia batteries. Oh, I scanned the front and back cover of Haunted Cocktails 7" 45rpm the unofficial first record basia ever sang on. so people who have never seen it can search the used record bins and know what to look for. I need someone on our list to post it for me on a server or whatever it is you do for that. and of course the basia discography might need it. so email me personally for it . bye, Tom ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2003 21:48:01 EDT From: JPovlock@aol.com Subject: PW vs. Larry Carlton I saw Larry Carlton three times.

I am a teacher/fan of the temperament theory. (Sanguine/Choleric/Melancholy/Phlegmatic: the names good old Hippocrates gave to them.) I believe that Basia and Danny's temperaments (I still need more proof, hence the aforementioned CD will come in very handy.) are the same as Karen and Richard Carpenter, AND I believe, Corrine Drewery and Andy Connell of Swing Out Sister. (jury still out on that one, too) The common thread musically is the Mel/San female with the killer voice, paired with the rich instrumental/composition talents of the male Mel/Chlor. I am still working to find more evidence of Basia and Danny's personalities, so I am looking for as much as I can find about their personal lives. If you want to see how a Mel/San and a Mel/Chlor typically interact, just watch Mel/San Paul Schaffer and Mel/Chlor David Letterman on any given Late Show episode. They are tight and loyal friends to the end. When NBC fired Paul years ago, David Letterman left with him in a show of support, not knowing that CBS would snatch them up quickly like they did. (Suddenly, I can hear "Best Friends" playing in my head!) :) Phil ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V8 #69 **************************
