Hot Ptah Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I have the Down Beat and Jazz Times issues from that 1980 time period, but they contain no information about this tour. These magazines were not comprehensive guides to everything going on in the world of jazz at that time--to say the least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On March 22 --> recording for SteepleChase with Hank Mobley -Hermosa Beach, Lighthouse (April 1-6) -San Francisco, Keystone Korner (April 8-13) -El Granada, CA, Bach Dancing Dynamite Society (April 13) -Santa Cruz, CA, Kuumba Jazz Center (April 14) -Seattle, Parnell's (April 24) Reportedly, these are additional dates in the US, Mexico and Canada: -Kansas City-Baltimore-Washington DC-Oregon-Canada (Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary)-Mexico (1 week) I have the Down Beat and Jazz Times issues from that 1980 time period, but they contain no information about this tour. These magazines were not comprehensive guides to everything going on in the world of jazz at that time--to say the least! Thanks for your reply. So not any reference in the club listings?

I will look again at those issues and make sure about that. Also, as to the Kansas City concert, my company subscribes to the Kansas City newspaper's archives, and I will run a search in 1980. If the concert was reported in the newspaper, I should be able to find some information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
