Argh. I posted for the first time in almost a year to remind people that Richard Davis is still around, only to see Jim joke about a nonagenarian dying. Back to lurking. Stay classy, Jim.

The great Richard Davis hasn't been mentioned.

I listened to his Blue Note album last week and enjoyed it. Once the world returns to normal, I wouldn't be surprised if he plays in Cleveland. I'd see him.

The last track is a tribute to Earl Hines. I didn't realize it until I opened my phone to pull up Earl Hines. Now listening to: Disc 1: Solo Earl Hines

On my first listen. Holy moly.

This has to have some of my favorite Teagarden. The big surprise on this set was Billy Butterfield, who plays some hot trumpet on the sessions with Teagarden. My toddler goes nuts dancing whenever I play it for her.

I found a signed copy of this recently.

It has to be. Black is his signature look. Maybe Randy Brecker in the first one?
-
I'm going to say Percy Heath, Charles McPherson with Johnathan Blake behind him and Joanne Brackeen.

Speaking of Galeta and McLean, I caught Steve Davis (super nice guy!) in town and chatted with him. I mentioned Galeta and he hopped behind the piano and played some of Galeta's music.
-
I also forgot about Ambrose Akinmusire. I don't believe I've heard Immanuel Wilkins. When I saw Joel Ross with Marquis Hill, he split time between vibes and piano.

It's interesting how Blue Note is doing things. It's like they throw a bone to fans of vintage Blue Note by signing Wayne Shorter, Joe Chambers and Dr. Lonnie Smith, while pursuing neo-soul/jazz fusion with their younger artists. I guess that's about the best we can expect.

More of the birthday Benny, with a crack band of Dr. Eddie Henderson, Steve Davis, Mike LeDonne, Buster Williams, Carl Allen and a guest spot from Al Jarreau.

Some more Benny Golson, via his arrangements on Brass Shout. The reissue pairing it with The Aztec Suite is essential Art Farmer, IMO.
