“Notz ” Jassmblage Series 1 through 15. An extension of the collaboration between Jazz composer, Theo Saunders and Assemblage artist, George Herms.
Chris Conner One of my favorite moments was a jazz party at Chuck Manning’s pad and there were all these cool nice people except for one table where I was sitting with Chris Conner, George Herms, Theo Saunders, Chuck and others and it was one of the most gloriously abrasive, insulting, mean spirited, sarcastic and anarchistic few hours I’ve ever spent (and I’ve had more than my share), and just pure jazz.
Glorious
Simply fantastic nite at Desert Rose, with Theo Saunders and Chuck Manning’s thrilling jazz improvisation within a stream of classic tunes–Trane, Newk, Wayne Shorter, lotsa Monk and at least one of Theo’s own compositions–as combo leader Mark Z Stevens wore Chuck Barris’s duds (really) before an exhuberant packed house. Fyl and I kept seeing all these old jazz pals, like we were back at Charlie…

Chuck Manning’s pad
(2014)
Another way hip bash at Chuck Manning’s pad in Altadena last nite….zillions of jazzers—players, fans, scenesters, stoners, hipsters, physicists, lushes, artists, crazy Russians, identical twins and no writers almost—hanging and listening and insulting and playing and smoking stogies out to yar. Tales of clubs and players gone by. So long Jim Szilagyi. So many stories, some maybe true even.…

Sitting here listening to Theo Saunders Jassemblagefor the umpteenth time, digging how each tune is different tunes pieced together crazy logically illogically into new things, like Nuttiness that is half a dozen Monk tunes in one, or I Steal Good Moments that somehow slides Oliver Nelson’s Stolen Moments inside James Brown’s I Feel…

George Herms
[from a Brick’s Picks in the LA Weekly about 2010]
We don’t know anything about art, really. It’s like classical music or philosophy or poetry or anything really cerebral like that, universes we don’t traipse around much. So we had no idea who George Herms was before we met him. We were occasional drinking buddies at Charlie O’s, always right up front rocking out and applauding too loud and…

Chuck Manning Quartet at the Lighthouse, 3/7/15
Hey jazz phreaks...Chuck Manning Quartet at the Lighthouse, 3/7/15
Hey L.A. jazz people….there’s a great gig at the legendary Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach mañana (Saturday, March 7) from 11 am-3 pm….the Chuck Manning Quartet with one of my fave pianists, Theo Saunders, and the great Henry Franklin on bass and Joel Taylor on drums. Chuck burns it up on tenor. The real thang, as they say. No cover, cute waitresses, and bloodies and eggs to make up for the hangover…
