STANLEY PINTO: songs they dont sing anymore


Stanley Pinto couldn't make it to his "Songs They Don't Sing Anymore" gig at Opus last Saturday night. So he sent his pet chimpanzee to stand in for him. And you know what, it didn't make a damn bit of difference because the chimp sang songs nobody wants to listen to anymore.

Hello Sir,

I am a novice keyboardist, recently being interested in Jazz Piano... I read your previous posts and comments and inferred that you have been around in the music scene,for QUITE sometime now.... Kindly excuse my ignorance and more importantly my horrible construction of sentences.
I believe in buying my own CDs, and so far, have been quite lucky with whatever I've bought... I would like to listen to more Jazz Pianists, anything eclectic that you can suggest.... So far, I've bought and listened to
Mr.Bud Powell, Mr.Thelonius Monk, Mr.Bill Evans,Mr.Errol Garner, Mr.Basie, Mr.Ray Charles, Mr.Memphis Slim, Mr.Horace Silver.... apart from these, I have downloaded (yep, I am a pirate) A little of Mr.Art Tatum, Mr.Brubeck and Mr.McCoy Tyner... I love Jazz, I dont really know why, but I do. I am in that phase where I need more Piano Jazz.... and am also running short of money, so, need to be really careful with what i buy... I have tried searching for 'free' music on the net.... through various means... torrents, P2P networks, and all that I could find under jazz was a whole lot of "Miles Davis" and "Dave Brubeck"...well It would be extremely nice if you could SUGGEST ANY names of past/present Jazz Pianists.

Thanks a lot!

Hello Mr. Pinto,

I read your wonderful piece in the 'Upper Crust' on the Mumbai Jazz Scene. The Hindustan Times is running a series of stories under their 'I Love Mumbai' campaign. Bombay History is welcome here. I am a freelance journalist and would love to speak to you and do a story on your relationship with Bombay. If you would like to write for the page instead, it'd also be a privilege to get the editor of the page to speak to you. I just think what you know should get across to people.

You've put your email address up for grabs here, but I thought it would be more polite to leave a comment on your blog :). I am too young to know anything about the places you spoke of in that article, but I love Jazz as passionately as I can without knowing very much about it.

Dear Stanley,

I'm sorry I changed the setting on your razor and I hope your beard grew back.

Try explaining THAT to your adoring public.

I have moved far far away to escape your wrath and would be happy to trade insults with you from time to time.
