Ernie Barnes 'The Sugar Shack' Featured in 'Good Times' Sells for $15.3 Million
A painting that served as the cover for one of legendary soul singer Marvin Gaye's albums has sold at auction for almost $15.3 million.
Ernie Barnes' joyous depiction of a frenetic scene in a dance hall, titled "The Sugar Shack," sold to Bill Perkins, a hedge fund manager and entrepreneur, after 10 minutes of bidding by more than 22 bidders, confirmed Christie's auction house.
According to Christie's, the final sale price for "The Sugar Shack" was 27 times higher than the most expensive Barnes work to sell before it. It also blew past its estimated sale price of $150,000 to $200,000.
Barnes, who died in 2009, was born in North Carolina in 1938 and often drew upon his own experiences growing up in the American South during the Jim Crow era in his depictions of social moments and images of quotidian Black life.
In a 2002 interview, in which the Oakland Tribune described Barnes as the "Picasso of the Black art world," the artist said he got the idea for "The Sugar Shack" from reflecting on his childhood and "not being able to go to a dance I wanted to go to when I was 11."
"The Sugar Shack" has become a widely recognized image -- thanks in part to its appearance on Gaye's 1976 "I Want You" album and to its use across four seasons of the sitcom "Good Times," which centered around the lives of a poor family in the Chicago housing projects.
Barnes was a professional American football player before becoming a painter and many of his artworks depicted sporting scenes, such as basketball and football games. Barnes told the Oakland Tribune in 2002: "I paint when ideas come and I see a vision of what I want from our common humanity."
Barne's work appeared on other album covers over the years including a 1984 cover for the The Crusaders and B.B. King's 2000 album "Making Love is good for you."

今宵のディナージャズ「West Coast Conference」Bill Perkins '57
マイルスのリズムセクションがウエストコースト・ジャズを演ってる!またマニアックなのを買ってしまいました。500円ちょいで安かったし。
タイトルで分かる様に、西海岸のビル・パーキンス(ts)版「ミーツ・ザ・リズムセクション」(チェンバースとフィリー・ジョーのみ)。面白いのがジャック・モントローズ(ts)が参加して、思っ切り西海岸のアレンジものをこの二人のリズムセクションが折目正しく演ってるところ。でも、ソロになるとすぐに彼等だと分かります。
ザ・マイルス・バンド!っていう彼等らしさを前面に出したアート・ペッパーとのセッションと違って、ちゃんと西海岸ぽさを演出しながらの演奏で、なんか不思議な感じだけど違和感なく聴けるのが彼等の仕事人としての凄さだと思います。で、ソロで持って行くところも。
モントローズはイマイチ好きになれないテナー。やはりビル・パーキンス狙いで買ったのですが、いい感じでプレイはしてるものの、変態度合いが少ないのでちと残念。やはりリーダーだと真面目になるタイプ。折角の面白セッションだからもっと暴れて欲しかったな。
Affinityレーベルは数枚持ってたと思いますが、これは古い録音ですが音質はまぁまぁってとこです。

in tgwdlm when Hidge tells the group to sing the beginning of moana, Paul is the only one who knows it. Like, they're all singing but Emma is joining halfway through each sentence and Ted is just jumping in with "ho ho" and Bill has made up an entirely new song.
it's actually really funny to watch them each individually so I captioned the video but also why does Paul know it???

お昼下がりジャズです。「Grand Encounter」John Lewis '56
2° East - 3°Westと副題の付いたこのアルバム、東からはMJQの二人、西からはハミルトン・バンド+パーキンスという「偉大なる出会い」。
全体的にバラードとミディアム・スローなナンバーで決して盛り上がる事無く、淡々と音楽が続きます。僕的には暑い夏に、冷房の効いた部屋でこういう室内楽的ジャズを聴くのは好き。
実はMJQは折り目正し過ぎてずっと苦手で、特にルイスのピアノはめちゃくちゃ苦手でした。でも、ここではエリントンやベイシーに通じる、サウンド重視で極限まで音数を切り詰めた様なクール・サウンドが、「共通認識」としてバンドを支配していて、あぁ、この人はこういう事がやりたかったのね…と、漸く分かった気がします。
パーキンスもホールもその空気感を読んで…というか雰囲気を楽しんで、独善的にならず、同様に音数を切り詰めたソロを取ります。特にパーキンスのハスキーなテナーは魅力的です。当時のレスター派は、ポール・クイニシェットを除いて、それぞれとても独自性が有り、このパーキンスも、やる時はアウトしたり凄いんです。それを知っててこのしっとりした演奏を聴くとまた良いものです。
両面で35分ほど。あっという間に終わります。このアルバムがずっと気になってたのは、メンツの面白さではなく、明らかにジャケットのおねーちゃんのせいです。見事にパシフィック・ジャズの商法に引っ掛かってたわけですな。
