Lazaro Vega Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Last night Jazz From Blue Lake featured drummer Danny Richmond on "The Jazz Retrospective" element of our 5 hour program. Richmond was Charles Mingus's partner in time for over 20 years. We hear their music, as well as Richmond's sideman appearances with Zoot Sims, Herbie Nichols and others, plus Holiday tuneage (dolphin free). That program is available throughout today from our web site: http://199.176.235.218/ondemand/17-1-20141216.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 skinniest guy I ever saw. Apparently had to do with his habits, but he sure could play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erwbol Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Started life as a tenor player, correct? From the Complete Atlantic Recordings book: "Dannie Richmond was originally a saxophonist - he told Francis Boland he could only play the blues on that instrument - and had taken up drums just before being introduced to Mingus by alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson."
