After some early songwriting successes with Little Richard, Phil Spector, Glen Campbell, The Yardbirds and The Monkees, Nilsson was signed to RCA Victor as a solo artist. With a three-and-a half octave range as a tenor, he developed a musical style that synthesized baroque psychedelic pop with Caribbean tempos, utilizing vocal overdubs. In 1967, Pandemonium Shadow Show was released to critical acclaim, but disappointing sales. However musical peers like The Beatles were enthusiastic fans and this provided momentum to his career. In 1968, Aerial Ballet fared considerably better, yielding two “hits”. The first, Fred Neiil’s “Everybody’s Takin’” was a minor hit. A year later it would make its way into the iconic movie “Midnight Cowboy” and earn Nilsson a Grammy. The second, “One” has become a standard. The 70’s was the zenith of Harry Nilsson’s musical legacy.

    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 77 JANUARY 28TH, 2019 Welcome to Copper #77! I hope you had a better view of the much-hyped lunar-eclipse than I did---the combination of clouds and sleep made it a non-event for me. Full moon or no, we're all Bozos on this bus---in the front seat is Larry Schenbeck, who brings us music to counterbalance the blah weather; Dan Schwartz brings us Burritos for lunch; Richard Murison brings us a non-Python Life of Brian; Jay Jay French chats with Giles Martin about the remastered White Album; Roy Hall tells us about an interesting day; Anne E. Johnson looks at lesser-known cuts from Steely Dan's long career; Christian James Hand deconstructs the timeless "Piano Man"; Woody Woodward is back with a piece on seminal blues guitarist Blind Blake; and I consider comfort music, and continue with a Vintage Whine look at Fairchild. Our reviewer friend Vade Forrester brings us his list of guidelines for reviewers. Industry News will return when there's something to write about other than Sears. Copper#77 wraps up with a look at the unthinkable from Charles Rodrigues, and an extraordinary Parting Shot taken in London by new contributor Rich Isaacs. Enjoy, and we’ll see you soon! Cheers, Leebs. Stay Warm TOO MUCH TCHAIKOVSKY Written by Lawrence Schenbeck It’s cold, it’s gray, it’s wet. Time for comfort food: Dvořák and German lieder and tuneful chamber music. No atonal scratching and heaving for a while! No earnest searches after our deepest, darkest emotions. What we need—musically, mind you—is something akin to a Canadian sitcom.

    Die Nilsson-Schmilsson-Late- Night-Memorial-Radio-Show Eine Radio-Hommage von Zeha Schröder Moderator. (Fade-Out der Startschleife aus „Everybody’s Talking“.) …So, das waren die Nachrichten und der Verkehrshinweis. Und jetzt heißt es wieder hallo, liebe Leute da draußen, und herzlich will- kommen zu einer weiteren Ausgabe von Freddys Radio Show. Ich bin Freddy, ihr seid die Hörer, die Fronten wären also geklärt, und wer von euch früher schon mal reingehört hat, der weiß, wie der Hase läuft: Einmal im Monat stell ich euch an dieser Stelle eine un- bekannte Band vor oder auch einen Solokünstler, der einen unverwechselbaren special touch hat. Das kann ein Newcomer sein oder ein erprobter Außenseiter oder, wie heute Abend, ein vergessenes Genie aus der Mottenkiste des Rock & Pop. Nur eins kann es nicht sein, jedenfalls nicht, solange ich hier die Knöpfe drücke: das Einheitsgedudel vom Fließband, das ihr sonst den ganzen Tag in die Oh- ren geträufelt kriegt, sobald ihr das Radio einschaltet. Okay, Leute, having said that, lasst uns doch mal einen Blick auf unseren heutigen Ehrengast werfen. Keine Ahnung, was ihr gerade so treibt, ein paar von euch sitzen jetzt garantiert am Steuer, ein paar liegen in der Badewanne oder schieben sich gleich die Pizza in den Ofen. Aber vielleicht hockt ja der eine oder andere auch noch vorm Rechner und meint, er kann sich nebenher ein bisschen berieseln lassen. Tja, meine Lieben, daraus wird heute nichts, heute wird dazugelernt, heute gibt’s was auf die Ohren, und zwar ganz speziell für euch Computerfreaks da draußen. Denn der Mann, den ich euch heute vorstellen möchte, ist Fleisch von eurem Fleisch: Harald Edward Nilsson the Third a.k.a.

  • The Recordings
    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links.

I think it could be interesting to experience how the music alone might con- vey the essence of David’s artistry. It would be ideal if you could find a quiet hour, and avail yourself of your fa- vorite deep-listening mode. For me, it’s flat on the floor, in total darkness. In any case, your listening itself will be a tribute to David. For living music, With gratitude, Paul 2 1.
