      RIP Ray Drummond

      By Gheorghe · Posted

      He was great. I think I had heard him many times with Johnny Griffin, but I think also with other musicians, maybe Joe Henderson, anyway I heard him with different groups, but most with Johnny Griffin and everything was about in the late 70´s until early 80´s. He was so big that bass really looked small.

      Post a pic

      By Gheorghe · Posted

      Thank you for sharing it with us.  I didn´t know that Billy Strayhorn was so small, he looks like a little child. Billy Holiday is soooo beautiful. Exactly that´s the kind of faces I love. Women who have that look, I look at them and feel familiar.  Great pic. I have heard that the only thing RVG was interested in was the sound of recording. He never stated anything about the music itself. Before I knew that I always hoped that some day he will write a book about all those great sessions he did, about the music, the genius musicians who made it etc.......

      What vinyl are you spinning right now??

      By Gheorghe · Posted

      Great Choice. From the BN albums Bud made, I like most "Time Waits" and the second side of "Bud!" where Curtis Fuller is on it. I don´t like Side A at all. From Vol. I I am fond of the session with Fats and Sonny.  I love it. I had purchased it very soon after it was made. I was the "Star" in HighSchool because I had this and the VSOP "Tempest at Colloseum", all the jazz loving class mates came to my place to listen.

      Jack De Johnette RIP

      By ep1str0phy · Posted

      This is a really unusual one that I rediscovered recently - a Kalaparusha record w/Karl and Ingrid Berger, Jumma Santos, and Tom Schmidt (the latter of whom I am not familiar with):  It's great to hear DeJohnette in this sort of rambling free jazz context. It lacks the precision of something like Special Edition, but it serves as nice connective tissue to the AACM music made in Paris in the '60s and NY in the '70s.
