Its a mixed bag (as is intended) but there is more often than not something of interest. |

Point taken. The intention was flippant, possibly juvenile, but the de-emoticoned nature of most fly-by-night terse posting removes that valence. When I use a term like jazzsnob in a vaguely pejorative sense, I apply it not to someone who has an elite taste in a specific style (jazz), but to someone who uses that specific style (jazz) as an artificial means of status elevation; who uses it as a status signifier and identity reinforcer, to put distance between themselves and the imputed vulgarity of "lower" styles and their attendant lower practioners and audiences. Unfortunately, most people, even the superficially highly intelligent and "educated", are hard-wired for hierarchical idiocy and hypocrisy, and don't apply psychological self-awareness to observe how our atavism shapes our intellect, whose reflexive conclusions we then go on to rationalise.
As a show 'n' tell preening display, classical music for many serves this function, and, like jazz, started off as popular music. Jazz as some noble force that will uplift the soul is rendered risible by the many venal characters that have played it and listen to it. Notions of elevation, whether in terms of "spirituality" or "refined taste" are flagfalls for an imagined personal superiority which may or may not bear out in humanisitc terms - that is, strength and depth of character. Substance and quality in music is an issue of independent aesthetic value - the music taken on its own terms - not as an abstract category that denotes earnest elevation. Hence the reason the Night Music idea appealed to me. I had a look at the list of shows someone posted, and some of those shows, or musician combinations, have the potential for truly wretched outcomes. Others could be transcendent. When it comes to an emphasis on substance and quality, over category and snobbery, I think highly of Henry Threadgill. He's incorporated diverse ethnic styles and rhythms without sounding too over-ecumenical; he has written formal composition; played both highly improvised music and music that is very disciplined, taut, and arranged. I hear in his music everything from a loose, vernacular, popular music passion and vitality to a more studied, imperious abstraction and erudition. I love his work. And anyway, sometimes escapist entertainment is exactly what you need. After listening to some Art Pepper, Cecil Taylor, Jackie Mclean, Sam Rivers and Julius Hemphill (perennial personal favourites), how about some Christina Aguilera? I burnt a copy of one of her albums, and Beyonce, and Kelis, and Blackeyed Peas from a relative, and every now and again I'll put something like that on and it's exactly what the doctor ordered. Once upon a time - because like a lot of people when they're a lot younger, I used music to announce myself - that pop fluff corrupting the citadel of art would have appalled me. But you grow up and get over yourself, and realise that music can occasionally serve the purpose of functional diversion as well as aesthetic contemplation and transcendence. So be deep-thinking and deep-feeling. But have a little fun, too. |

Night Music with david Sanborn" tv show
This evening, I watched parts of various tapes of the show with a friend who was excited about what I showed him. We watched Johnny Clegg sing about Mandela before, I believe, Mandela was released from prison; we watched Leonard Cohen sing backed by Sonny Rollins's tenor with backups by Was Not Was; we also watched Lou Reed sing Dirty Boulevard. Then I watched the segment with the Pixies singing Monkey’s Gone to Heaven.
Each time I play one of these tapes, I realize what a terrific show it was -- perhaps one of the best shows to be seen on television. Then it was dropped after a couple of years due to poor ratings. In NYC, the show was on at midnight on Sunday, not a great time for good ratings. I have no idea how long my tapes of the show will hold out -- they're already up to 16 years old. I would love to be able to get DVDs of these shows. |

"Sunday Night/ Night Music"
Thanks so much for posting the Program Lineup, clarke68. Like many others, I religiously watched the series during 89-91, and I made fairly good quality, particularly audio portion, tapes of many. I am in the process of burning my favorites to DVD, and the listing was really helpful.
FYI, Katie Webster appeared on Show 113 instead of Gladys Knight, and Tracy Chapman appeared for Koko Taylor in Show 121. Several of my favorite performances, eg., Curtis Mayfield doing "Pusherman", Carla and Rufus Thomas together, Bootsie Collins with Allan Toussaint, didn't get taped. I am looking into the limits of the "fair user " exception to the copyright laws, to see if I can explore for a gift or a trade, if anyone has these episodes. Later. QUOTE=clarke68]I did some digging...and found someone who lifted the lineup from Broadway's old site and posted it on a Todd Rundgren list. I was wrong, there were only two seasons, but what seasons they were...

Blessed be Google
[QUOTE=Cali]Oh, man, I loved that show! That Rollins/Cohen piece was classic! Some bad, b-a-a-d shit. What I remember is Sonny brought down the house and the back-up vocalists (Was Not Was?) cracked-up, at the end of the piece, at how Sonny just wore it out!
So I'm sitting home listening to Kim Waters and wondering if anybody ever produced DVD's of the David Sanborn show I used to love so much and decide to do a Google search to see if I can discover the name. Glad to see I'm not the only one who stayed up late at night just to see Night Music. What I always remember about the Rollins/Cohen collaboration was thinking how excited Leonard Cohen must have been at Rollins doing that with something he wrote. My other favorite memory was how much Don Was looked like former Minnesota Vikings Coach Dennis Green in a dance frenzy during their number. During the Jools Holland seasons, they used to mix personalities you'd never think would jell and the result was pure magic. I can't believe I didn't save the tapes and I can't believe DVD's have never been released. |

thank you very much
Thank you 3poindeli for starting this thread.
 Oh how I used to love this show! I was still in high school at the time and used to have my dad tape the episodes for me since they aired Sunday nights at midnight [not the best time if you have to catch a school bus less than seven hours later] if I recognized someone. That didn’t happened often since I was at the embryonic stage of getting into jazz, and was a huge fan of Sting. One of my fondest memories of the show is of the Cohen/Rollins performance. It was one of the things that really pushed me getting further into jazz. I didn’t know who Cohen was, and I knew Rollins by name only. But it was baaaaaaad. I thought Sonny looked so badass, and to me personified what a jazz person should look like. I saw it on TV not too long ago and was just as amazed. After looking at the all the episodes now, I wish I knew then what I know now - I would have gladly stayed up every Sunday night well past midnight to see some of those shows. And one last thing, if I remember correctly when the show was first starting out if followed Saturday Night Live and the advertisements used to say something along the lines of “SNL is great, we just wanted to make it without all of those sketches.” Thanks for all the info, the brain rests a little easier tonight.

They used to do these little vignettes on their way to a commercial. In one of them, Deborah Harry gets on camera and says, "The one thing no one knows about me that I want everyone to know about me is that I am a classically-trained trombonist."...and they cut to her jamming, and I mean jamming, like playing a Bach fugue or something, on the 'bone! They cut back to her with a satisfied sort of look on her face, and then fade to a commercial. Was that real, or did I dream it? Anyone else remember it? |

Wow! What a list of performers! I remember the show, but I wasn't into jazz at the time. What a shame for me. I clearly remember Clapton and Cray playing together (not long after Clapton's "Journeyman" was released) and the show with Stevie Ray. I still have them on tape somewhere. I'll have to dig them out. I can't remember if I just taped their performance or if I recorded the entire show.
I hope they can get everything worked out for a DVD release. |

What a show!!
I was quite lucky to see the series in South Africa...where David Sanborn is quite popular. He had some shows in South Africa end of last year which was an absolute blast!!
I would also love to lay my hands on the "Night music" show if it ever get onto DVD. I hope David is still working on that...Surely if they have showed this all over the world then the DVD issue can not be that hard. If anyone ever get more news on this PLEASE let me know!!!jaco_klopper@hotmail.com Many thanks and check out his new CD ... Some intereseting South African songs on the Cape Town Fringe... Very good (also called Mannenburg!) Excellent site ! Cheers |
