clifford_thornton Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 A great day for jazz birthdays - Prince Lasha was born today back in 1929. Here is hope for continued recordings and good health! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieB Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 had the pleasure of meeting him for the first time last year at Monterey! Happy, Healthy Birthday, Mr. Lasha!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Happy Birthday, Prince Lasha ! :party: 'Insight' UK CBS LP going on deck tonight. Hey Clifford - did you ever ask Lasha if he did that 60s BBC TV soundtrack session when he was living over here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Clifford - did you ever ask Lasha if he did that 60s BBC TV soundtrack session when he was living over here? I can't remember if I did or not. I need to give him a call - it's been a while.

sidewinder Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 It's a long shot but you never know. The particular programme I'm thinking of sure sounded like him. Sort of like a 'National Geographic' style programme with solo flute intro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarke68 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I saw him at Yoshi's a few weeks ago...an unexpected guest in Eddie Gale's band. Sounded great! Hope he has a happy birthday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I saw him at Yoshi's a few weeks ago...an unexpected guest in Eddie Gale's band. Sounded great! I'll try and find his phone number again and report back how it was... Would like to hear some of the recordings with Newk as well as the Zounds LP with Don Cherry. But that aside, all of his recordings that I am familiar with are top-notch. Insight is a desert island LP for me, as is The Cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Those are beautiful! When I talk to him, I'll let him know that you took some nice shots of him and his baritone (he sounds so wonderful on that horn). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalupa Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Still kicking myself for missing his Philly show a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
