could someone please change the title of this thread as every time I see it, I get scared. how about "Health Status on Bobby Hutcherson" or something like that?
-
for those of you who are on Facebook, there are quite a few pictures posted of Wynton, Cecile McLorin Salvant and the LCJO visiting an playing for Clark and Gwen Terry during a brief hospital stay yesterday.
-
a big contributor! thank you, Bunny Briggs. hadn't heard his name in quite awhile.
-
Absolutely love this family portrait. Three heavy-duty talents! I love them all.
-
Bobby is scheduled to play at The Addition (formerly Yoshi's SF) on Jan 23, 24.
I hope he's feeling better and able to make it.
Amen, Amen!!!

I have had the great pleasure of hearing Lew Tabackin play in person for roughly 45+ years. he's an amazing musician and never gets the attention he deserves.
-
I hope it has nothing to do with diabetes as well, which is father has been dealing with. hoping for the best.
-
I have a friend who is on oxygen 24/7 and flies many times a year on major airlines so I don't know where Hardbopjazz gets that information. if a person is frail, travel itself is exhausting. Bobby has always been a favorite and I'm sure he's doing what's best for him. and I'm certain he's more than disappointed not to be able to make it.
-
has anyone seen an obituary for Hans? that might be a way of sharing our condolences with his family.
-
Q still thinks he's God! what an ego!
-
I can't wait to see this film. Clark has been a favorite of mine, as a musician and a person, since the '60s. bless him always and forever. he has the most amazing courage, as does his wife, Gwen.

George Cables who is a wonderful pianist, and has played and recorded regularly with Art Pepper, Dexter Gordon, and countless other top level jazz players.
I wholeheartedly agree. We can also copy this post into the 'Nice Guy Musicians' thread.
Just for the record, I "nominated" George in both threads!!! He's most deserving!
-
Howard Johnson!!
Buster Williams!!
-
I would like to suggest Terry Gibbs as very deserving!
-

-
belated Happy Birthday wishes, Bertrand. here's to many Wayne Shorter concerts in your future!
-
supposedly, Peter has already booked my favorite female vocalist, Cecile McLorin Salvant!! YEAH!!!
-
glad you had a better birthday than last year. may it continue throughout the year.
-
the news that Peter Williams will be the one booking the room is music to my ears!!! YEAH!!
-
I think one of the big problems in this case is that he's been "getting away with it" for a very long time! and even if he's "high as a kite," he plays his ass off! and he's had help in "scoring" through the years. I believe all these things have not been helpful for him to "get clean". and, maybe, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about! just observing from a distance.
-
sounds like an evening I wouldn't mind attending. as some others feel, I, too, like it whenever jazz is revered.
-
Has anyone here ever met Zan Stewart?
I am happy to say that I have had the pleasure of knowing Zan for quite a few decades. he's a very special guy, aside from his obvious literary and musical talents. he's also a very sensitive, kind person and I look forward to listening to this new cd. I'm very excited for him.
-
Pianist, Walter Bishop, Jr. loved playing with Al. maybe it was, in part, because they both shared those West Indian roots.
-
my beloved, long-time friend, Dick Berk, was one of the nicest, sweetest, kindest people I've ever known. and we know he was one helluva drummer. because I haven't seen it mentioned above, although Dick loved everyone he played with, one of his favorites was Walter Bishop, Jr. they played together frequently during the '60s in NY and were close friends until Walter's passing. I will miss Dick forever.
Wish Clark Terry a Happy Birthday

I've been loving Clark for over 50 years and I will continue doing so.
