I never thought I'd be to the right of someone on an issue of race on Soulstrut but Frank - I can't roll with most of what you're trying to put across here. 1) What if this wasn't the Beastie Boys vs. James Newton but Diamond D vs. James Newton…

I'm sorry man but invoking Thurgood Marshall on a debate like this is way out of context and if anything, diminishes his legacy. It doesn't diminish Marshall's legacy, but it sure diminishes the credibility of the person abusing his name and image.…

I guess that's the end of that discussion, then. Keep on being black as you wanna be mang. Damn straight.

Can the good Frank come out now??? this is the good Frank

You sound like an old timer who spends all his money on booze and then shakes his fist at the bank for not giving him more. I love this line. me too From what I've read of Francis he's beyond liberal... the scary kind of PC liberal who "sees"…

We could replace the flute drone with some other droning sound, or even remove it altogether and it would make no difference to our overall composition. [/b] Well, they should do that. And pay him royalties up to that point. It would still be …

No disrespect, but you need to do some more homework before we can have this argument. I live to have faux say shit like this to me.

Free Jazz Bamas!!! This is about a form of record keeping that is traditionally African against a European set of laws. I'm sure this was first and foremost on James Newton's mind. Perhaps he was confused because of his African decendants... 20…

Newton's solo flute pieces are as important as some of Chs. Parker's solos on Dial 78s. Ok, I'm not here to argue about the main topic, BUT... Charlie Parker's Dial material influenced 50+ years of jazz music. How can these two even be remot…

and yeah, white crackers!

How about to dumb the situation down to the "white crackers" vs. "free jazz bama" is super duper sad? Get past the knee-jerk reaction. This is not colonialism. You have to draw the line somewhere. Plus this case is really old news. The deepe…

PS- Im not comparing Alan Korn to Thurgood Marshall. However, the case for desegregation was a stretch--using rudimentary psychological studies with black dolls. To say this case has no merits because it could open a flood of similar cases is s…

I don???t throw around Justice TM lightly. Don???t make me call up the recent ghost of Kenneth Clark. This is about a form of record keeping that is traditionally African against a European set of laws. It???s really about respect for yo…

And also--probably--about greed and opportunism. I don't think there's any argument there. I think that's pretty offensive. Kinda surprised to hear from FR. Look, man, as much as I personally dislike the Beastie Boy…

1982. I don't know of a more important solo flute recording.
-
This is, actually cut and dried, in that Newton is fighting for a position that is pretty indefensible... Maybe in the courts, but I can also see his side of the argument. I'm not saying I agree with it, just that I can understand why he's figh…

I think this case is very interesting and a lot less cut and dry than a lot of people are stating. Axum is the benchmark recording for solo flute. After some of Dolphy's excursions, these are the most important recordings for "jazz" flute. Pe…

little dudes need to read threads. it's here.

Washington ??? The Supreme Court on Monday declined to consider whether a 1992 Beastie Boys song infringed on the copyright of a jazz flutist's recording. Without comment, justices let stand a lower court ruling against jazz artist James W. Newton…
