I remember seeing him in Boston occasionally in the 1980s. Here's a link to his webpage: https://tonyinzalaco.weebly.com/bio.html

I have fond memories of Koji and his time with the Red Sox. On other fronts (Mets), things are not good. There are reports that Cano is being benched after two recent incidents of not running out the box. Also, Yoenis Cespedes had an accident on his Florida ranch over the weekend and is being evaluated in New York. Multiple fractures in one ankle. Odd descriptions of a "violent fall" and "stepping in a hole." Those descriptions seem inconsistent. One wonders if and when (and where?) Cespedes will play again.

You beat me to it! For those who might not get the reference, Doby refers to Larry Doby, the first black Major League Baseball player in the American League (Jackie Robinson) was in the National League.

Out to dinner. Will check for you later.

Lord shows the Oliver Jackson Black & Blue date as being recorded in NY, FWIW. I don't see anything by France in Europe in Bruyninkx.

Willis Connover's Voice of America programs on the concert are available here: https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc939206/m1/ https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc944387/m1/ They are identified as Parts 1 and 3. I haven't been able to locate Part 2.

The vocalist on Mood Indigo is Mary Mayo.

Didn’t see Jack’s thread. Sorry!

I think he was "Hendu"

Yes, Joe Thomas was great. He shows up on many Keynote sessions and on some HRS sides as well. Undeservedly unrecognized!

Pickwick issued five CDs of Black & White material in 1989 in their "Jazz Footprints" series. These CDs included sides by: Rod Cless Hank Duncan George Wettling Cliff Jackson Dick Cary Cliff Jackson (another date) Art Hodes Nat Jaffe Errol Garner Gene Schroeder Ray Stokes Red Callender Joe Marsala Etta Jones Barney Bigard Cliff Jackson (still another date) Willie "The Lion" Smith If memory serves, there were some Storyville LPs that included some B&W material as well. Here are a few:

Sonny Criss did a nice version!
