amazingly, "woody allen jazz band" have their own blog and it has the above mentioned link as its most recent post! huh!http://www.woodyallenband.com/blog/
km, i've been meanign to get my hands on WMB by woody, but never really got into seeing it actually. That, and the one by scorcese on The Band - i think thats the name of the documentary too.
and also WMB audio can be downloaded at his blog (though not free!).
arun: thanks for the links! just as km said, the woodman is a HUGE fan of bechet's. even named a kid after him. i've heard he's a pretty mean clarinetist himself, although the thought of springing seventy grand to go watch him for an hour and not hear him say a word hasn't quite struck me as the greatest possible deal.
also, the scorsese movie on the band is called "the last waltz". it's an absoluet must-see -- my favorite music-related movie. and remember to save an extra night for the making-of featurette.
gift: thanks -- i just woke up to find out... welcome back :-)
oh yes, i think i've seen WMB on sundance. i was browsing thro woody profile and checked out Soon-Yi Previn. i remember the last scene whr they r in a hotel in europe (or is it NY) and telling myself "she is cute"!...yeah, i know, not the *appropriate* way to remember a documentary! heh!
yeah, its the last waltz...i cud just catch the last 20 minutes or so on sundance.

I think I know who the first guy is. Now, who *is* the other guy?
The axe man and the sax man. Nice! It must be the cheeks.
@MT: Sehwag plays the guitar? :)
abi:
sidney bechet - the world's first saxophone genius, and a character to boot.
mt:
knowing the two of them, it's just the cheek :-D
km:
you should see him shred on the attack...
TR, good O-bservation. I'd go with the cheek!
*I wouldn't have figured the worlds first sax genius.
@Km: Reminds me of a friend in college who had a "Kiss my axe" sticker on his electric guitar.
haha! nice!!
ahahaha....it is the cheeks and the cheek.
tfm:
o-kay!
i'm curious - who'd you have said was the first sax genius?
mt:
maybe that's why electric guitars don't have the cavities -- coz those would then be axeholes. (axehole rose, anyone?)
arun, szerelem:
:-D

this one states that woody is trying to impersonate bechet's style. judge urself! ;)

Arun: if you haven't seen it yet, check out Woody's "Wild Man Blues". The man loves Bechet's music.

The Swing brothers? Nice :-)
Oh yeah, The Last Waltz is *heaven*. It was made on the sly by the Eyebrowed One *while* he was shooting Taxi Driver.
He may or may not have done anything great since Goodfellas, but to make Taxi Driver and TLW at the same time is superhuman indeed.
