  1. Remembering Esther Phillips on the day she would have been 89-years old.

    I've written a lot about Esther, I have a soft spot for her singing and am fascinated by her life story.

    I have at least one more piece to write based on some history from #johnnyotis - It explains a great deal about why Esther made some of the choices she did.

    For today though, I want to remember a ballsy woman who once walked into Creed Taylors office with a baseball bat under her fur coat to demand her royalty check.

  4. Hey, citizens of the fediverse - I just wanted to remember the great Grover Washington, Jr. who left us this day, 25-years ago. Far too soon. Such a talent, such a nice, kind man.

    Just 5-days after celebrating his 56th birthday, Grover had a heart attack in the green room, after performing and recording four songs for “The Saturday Early Show”, at CBS Studios in New York City. He was pronounced dead at 7:30pm that day, December 17th, 1999, St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City.

    He was still working in a department store when his first

  7. I've been quiet for the last few weeks as I've been working on the first stage of getting my vinyl organized.

    I acquired my vinyl collection in many countries, cities and stages of my life over the last 50-years. It's been in the same house for the last 6-years but in different rooms and places.

    Stage-1 of the re-org now done. I've listed over 500 records for sale on discogs, to be honest most are house music 12" singles. There are about 60 left to list, but they came from a box in a storage basement in a very old building and need to be test played before listing.

    Next up is to re-organize my main storage shelves, especially all my #ctirecords #kudu #verve #impulse and other treasured pressings.

    If you know anyone who likes #housemusic or is a #housemusiclovers including hard-house and trance mostly from the 2000's and also many that are the only copies that are for sale in the #USA go here > discogs.com/seller/4MC/profile

  8. Credited for being the reason the NYC DJ Record Pools were created, co-author of #IdrisMuhammad "Could Heaven Ever Be Like This" - Still trying to track down what happened to Tony (Anthony) Sarafino. Note Sara, not Serafino

    I'd really like to complete an important story that includes Tony, plus he deserves some recognition for some great work.

    I have my own guess, but that's not enough to publish. #CTIrecords #kudu pls share.

  9. Remembering Rudy Van Gelder on his born day. Rudy crafted much of the sound that we understand as (east coast) jazz these days. In an era of non-disposable equipment, Rudy developed habits in recording that lasted the test of time.

    That said, he wasn't slow in adopting new technology, and wasn't afraid of taking on the establishment when it came to digital vs analog.

  14. CTI Record Streams

    While I continue working on a couple of research projects that have consumed the past 6-weeks, I realized I hadn't posted here much, although I continue to dance of the grave of what used to be social-media daily. Here is a brief post on an interesting stream I've been listening too while screaming into the void - that the internet has become.

  15. I've had two great interviews this weekend with Alen MacWeeney. Alen was the ying to Pete Turners yang for album covers at CTI/KUDU. Where #PeteTurner did abstract, brightly colored covers that rarely included the artist, Alen included detailed closely cropped covers of the artist with a muted palate.

    I'll be writing it up for ctproduced.com in May. In the meantime here are three great pictures Alen took. #CTIrecords #Kudu #CreedTaylor #AlenMacWeeney #AlbumArt #Vinyl #photography #ctproduced

  22. New on ctproduced, The passing of Kwame Brathwaite. Rather than just make the same notes as everyone else, I tried to make it relevant and interesting.

    I've got a uncredited album picture, two covers and details about George Benson "Live At Carnegie Hall" album that you won't read anywhere else.
