This next scan is near and dear to my heart... I loved traveling to Germany and it's one of the few things I missed during those many years of travel. I used to fly into the Munich Airport and stay in Freising, which is where the Munich Airport is actually located. The taxi drivers hated when I jumped in and had them drive me to downtown Freising instead of downtown Munich, as the fare was about $50 Euros cheaper. Freising is a great little German town, with the Weinenstephan brewery/beer garden on the lonely hilltop in the town center and at least one time I visited in May of 1997, a little Jazz club that had a really good bari sax player playing with Victor Alcantara's quintet the night I stopped in.

Over the years, especially during the years 1995-1999, when I had a job requiring me to travel all over the world, I accumulated flyers/ads/schedules from Jazz clubs all over. I recently retired and was going through my old work folders and found a stash of them. I'll scan and post them and see if I was there with any of you. First up was from one of my first trips to New York City, which was for vacation and not work. Next up is a memorable one. It was the only time I got to see Teddy Edwards. It was a weird place... set up as a restaurant first & foremost (they required that I order a meal) and they acted like I was a weirdo for requesting the table near the stage. I was the only one clapping for the band, which was pretty sad as Teddy was playing his ass off. Once you look at it, you can see why I tried getting my boos to let me go out a week earlier and make it a three week stay.  He didn't buy my story about wanting to visit some other customer sites in the LA area. I'm still kicking myself as I never did get a chance to see Horace Tapscott or Red Holloway play live. Heck, I would've liked to have made it 4 weeks and caught Maupin's band too.. This one is hard (impossible?) to read but I couldn't get the scan any clearer. It is a scan of a folded up schedule for the Goteborg Jazzdagar's October 23-28, 1996 schedule. Sadly, I was not able to go to the one show on here that I really really wanted to see and that was Arne Domnerus with Bengt Hallberg on the 28th, as work intruded and I had to go out with a customer (who was not into jazz).
