  1. Blindfold Test 185--Link and Discussion

    Have seen her several times over the last couple of years in a quartet led by Julie Bonk. Fits in perfectly with Julie. Nice.

    Correct. From Fort Worth.

    The song is "And I Cried" concerning her diagnosis with an incurable disease affecting, among other things, her lungs-sarcoidosis.

    Years ago, I saw her play at the Caravan of Dreams several times with Charles Moffett. Also, she is the saxophonist on the final Ronald Shannon Jackson and the Decoding Society recording on DIW, Shannon's House.

    After disappearing from live appearances for many years, recently she seems to have rallied and plays an occasional concert, one of which I attended a few weeks ago. She mostly played EWI, but the three songs where she played her tenor were quite good--especially a wonderful version of Over the Rainbow.

    I crossed paths (lightly), with her back in the very early 1990s when playing on the local "chitlin' circuit", she'd come out to some gigs and listen. She was more or less a novice then, but was obviously gifted and sincere. I don't have this record, wasn't really aware of it, but now that I am....

     

  24. Dexter Gordon on Steeplechase question

    The box set, IMHO, is not optimal.  It only includes his trio & quartet studio dates for Steeplechase.  It excludes: larger groups (such as the Dexter/Benny Bailey Quintet), the orchestral date, the burning live dates from the seventies, and the archival live dates from the sixties.

    IMHO you should tell your friend to go ahead and buy the box set and all the live sessions. He is going to end up there anyway! hahaha :) They are all excellent.

    That's what I did anyway. Bought a few singles. Then, I bought the box.  Then I realized it did not include the live stuff. Ended up with all of those as well. Dexter is great in all of the periods. The Steeplechase stuff is some of my favorite along with some of the late Columbia dates with Woody.

    Enjoy the journey!!
