Calvin Keys (1942 - 2024) I have a few of his sessions. He was a fine guitarist.

RIP Tootie.

He recently canceled his shows at DizzY’s Club in NYC. One night the sets were going to be streamed. They announce it said to the health issues Tom Harrell will not make the sets this week.

How many of the musicians in the famous photo can you identify without having to check a source to tell you who is who?

It was Blue Mitchell's birthday day two days ago. He went too early. Anyone hear this recording before? https://www.facebook.com/groups/327260927975997

Tom Harrell was supposed to have been playing at Dizzy’s club this week. Due to health issues that were canceled. Does anyone know if it’s something serious? supposed to have been playing at Dizzy’s club this week. Due to health issues that were canceled. Does anyone know if it’s something serious?

All by myself. RIP.

The best recording with Sonny Rollins I've ever heard is a live recording I got from the person that taped it. Since this isn't official I can share it if someone wants to hear it. I know a copy was given to Sonny's team. They loved it. The sound is fine for an audience recording, but not for commercial release.

👍 Thanks

Mulligan may be on the date too since he recorded the concert.

Monk and Bird, besides the one live track from the Dean Benedetti recordings, are there any others? I couldn't find anything else. The LOC has a concert of Bird and Monk. It appears to be unheard music since it resides on tape. The recording is from the Gerry Mulligan collection given to the LOC after he passed in the 90s. Someone I know put in a request to have the tape digitalized so he can give a listen. This needs to be issued. I wonder why no record company has made an effort to get the rights to issue this.

You can find some more recordings here on my Facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/327260927975997/?multi_permalinks=1329195701115843&notif_id=1704124014860813&notif_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif
