[Dixielandjazz] New list member in Geneva

[jim at kashprod.com]

As I said in my last post, the DJML Mailing list, which began in the late 1990’s, was a busy, busy list right up until several years ago when various more vocal members disappeared/passed away/or whatever.  Shame!  It has been a great site for information, and for meeting others with interest in older styles of Jazz.  I’ve had a good number of list members drop in to hear my band when they visited Madrid.  And, for instance, you will have seen the message to me from Bill Hassler, whom I met when I visited Sydney a few years back.  I’ve also visited with others when travelling in the U.S.  Bill knows a heck of a lot about the earlier recordings, as you will have noticed.  I am personally more into the live performing side of things (having played trombone steadily for 70 yrs now), and my knowledge really only goes back to the Revival days of San Francisco with Lu Watters, etc.  Do stick with the list, even though not messages appear these days, as there are still some very interesting folk on the list.  

 

Cheers, Jim

Hi Jim,

 

Thank you for your message.

 

While I have no accent when I speak French,however when I speak another language this is influenced my native town; I also  speak fluently «non educated Greek » and very basic Bulgarian, Bulgaria being the country of my late mother born Toledo… At school my life was spent with the Zildjian brothers as my grand-father and my father were in charge of the export business of K.Zildjian.  The business was later sold to Avedis in Mass. but he puts a big K. on his cymbals, perhaps because Kerope was the grand or grand-grand- father…

 

Madrid or Spain is unconsciously for me the land where my ancestors left in 1492. I have  a very elementary Ladino-Spanish, a language which I describe as 85% old and modern Spanish, 7,5% Hebrew for family and religion oriented words and 7,5% Turkish for administrative or state matters, and it is today spoken the same way in Albania or Serbia, assuming a very small community still  exists. To give 2 examples, the words lentamente and travaho do not exit, we say avagar avagar (twice, like gamatch gamatch in Armenian) and menester for travaho…

Hi, Jacques.  Good to see some conversation on DJML.  Over the recent past we have unfortunately lost some very “vocal” members on the mailing list, and the comments have dropped off to near zero.  There are still a few of us still on the list, though, and hopefully your questions will spark more activity.  Anyway, welcome!

 

I sing in my band, also, but since I’m a displaced American in Spain, my accent in English isn’t all that bad!!!   My band in Madrid has been playing together longer than you’ve been alive, according to your message below.  :>

Hello to All from Geneva (has Europe’s biggest Lake shared between Switzerland and France) 

 

Thank you very much for the comments received on line and off line on Sweet Patootie. 

It is my preferred tune today; in the past these tunes were, in turn, BWPCH and Of All The Wrongs…

I sing it with my strong foreign accept  (Swiss since only 50 years, born and went to college in Istanbul).

 

Regards.

 

Jacques
