Hello all. back in the day, later 1970's-mid-80's, the 1369 Jazz Club
in Inman Square, Cambridge, MA, was the joint, where it went down-
local musicians coming up, New York cats doing it, everyone throwing
down for the music. Incredible place and time for the music; I was
fortunate to be part of that scene!
This is a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to bring an incredible
documentary to light, footage from the day at the 1369. This is
important work:

I have great memories of seeing a band that bassist Reggie Workman put together. Saw them twice at The Tin Palace in Greenwich Village in NYC.The band was called Top Shelf. If featured John Stubblefield and Howard Johnson in the front line. They played everything from piccolo flute to baritone saxophone and everything in between. Albert Dailey played piano on one gig and Micky Tucker on the other. Steve McCall on drums. And Reggieon bass, of course. I always thought they would record but I've never seen evidence of that. Reggie must have taps of those gigs!

Abbey celebrated her 80th birthday on Friday August 6th.
I featured her music that night for four hours.
Here is the playlist.
I'm so glad I got to play her music, not as a memorial, but as a birthdy
celebration. I would have played a memorial also, as so many others have:

From The Berkshire Eagle:
Arnold Caplin
1929-2009 PITTSFIELD Arnold Caplin of Pittsfield passed away Friday, December 25, 2009 at Kimball Farms Nursing Care Center after a long illness.
Arnie was born on May 8, 1929 in Brooklyn, N.Y., the son of Isadore Caplin and Lillian Tanz Caplin.
A veteran of the Korean War he served in the United States Army Band in Korea.
A man of diverse interests, he had a life-long passion for drawing and painting as well as an early career as a professional jazz drummer. His creativity and interest in the arts led him into a long and distinguished career in the music recording industry as a record producer. As the founder of Biograph Records, Inc. in 1967, he produced over 250 recordings on LP and CD. He was an early proponent of preserving traditional American music including blues, jazz, ragtime and folk music. A major achievement of his was to revive and bring international attention to the works of Scott Joplin, who is now referred to as the "King of Ragtime." His dedication also led to the preservation of seminal works by artists such as George Gershwin and Benny Goodman, as well as blues artists such as Reverend Gary Davis and Son House. His efforts at championing American roots music had far reaching effects on many musicians during the 1960's and beyond. Many of his recordings have been honored with Grammy nominations and recognition from the United States Library of Congress.
Arnie had a zest for life which brought joy and love to his family and friends.
He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Barbara; his son, Robert and his wife, Allison, of Arlington, Mass., his son, Alan, of Somerville, Mass.; his sister, Joan and her husband, Harold Itzcovitz, of New York, N.Y.; sister, Joyce Dicker of Tucson, Ariz.; and his beloved grandchildren, Nicole and Alexander; as well as many nieces and nephews.
FUNERAL NOTICE: A memorial service celebrating the life of the late Arnold Caplin will be held on Sunday, Jan. 17, 2010 at 12 p.m. at Temple Anshe Amunim, 26 Broad Street, Pittsfield.

Dick's Riverside date, "Most Likely" along with his Emarcy recording, "Music for Swinging" were reissued as a single CD by Fresh Sounds back in 2008. Recorded in 1956-1957.
Catalog # FSR-CD-528. Great playing from Dick and Dave McKenna on the Riverside session.
-
I also have a copy of this 2 disc set, thanks to our own Stereo Jack who gave it to me for a birthday present. A very long time ago. I've burned it onto CD and listen to it every now and then.
Hawk insists that he was not born in St. Louis but on an ocean liner, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, while his parents were coming back from a European trip??? Has that ever been verified?

Here is the playlist from my show on last Friday night.
Couldn't fit everyone in but did my best.

One of my fondest musical memories was the time I went to see Barry in New York at The Angry Squire, a club on Seventh Ave and 23rd Street.
The music was fabulous. Both sets. After the music was over, as we were all walking out I became aware of the woman in front of me, heading for the door. Short in stature, with long dark hair flowing over her shoulders and a mink coat that touched the floor.
The front door opened and there was a silver Bentley double parked in front of the club with the rear door open. As she climbed into the back seat and the driver closed the door and pulled away I realized that I had been walking out behind The Baroness, Pannonica!

Does anyone have any current biographical info on Wessell "Warmdaddy" Anderson.
I think I remember hearing that he had some health issues. I'm not sure how far in the past that was.
Just curious,
Thanks,

As part of my "Jazz in The Classroom" feature for the month of September, saxophonist Bill Pierce will be my co-host this Friday night, September 4th from 8p-midnight.
Bill will be playing music from his list of essential tenor players. Also, some his own personal favorites, some up and comers and I'll fill things out with some of Bill's own recordings including some music recorded by WGBH and only available on 89.7 especially a beautful duet with he and the late pianist James Williams from Scullers Jazz Club, 2000, in Boston.
In coming weeks I'll be doing the same with drummer Yoron Isreal, vocalist Lisa Thorson and trumpeter Jason Palmer.

Happy Birthday, Hank!

A decade ago George was presented a "Jazz Achievement Award" by
The New England Foundation for The Arts. As a part of that award,
I got to co-produce a half hour radio documentary about him.
It's all George, talking about his life and career in music and samples
of the music he is talking about.
A fascinating first person account of a brilliant career.
The program is available on the WGBH website. Simply go to:
www.wgbh.org/jazz
Look for the photo of Yusef Lateef (another recipient of that same Award).
Scroll down until you see George's picture.
Enjoy listening.
Thank you George!
