Posted 3 Jun 2015 (edited) Michael Weiss goes back a while with McPherson. I'm recalling the time around 1990 when I saw Michael lead a quintet featuring McPherson and Tom Harrell at Alice Tully Hall. Went with a few non-jazz friends from work whom I convinced to go. Everyone enjoyed it - wonderful concert. Edited 3 Jun 2015 by MartyJazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Went with a few non-jazz friends from work whom I convinced to go. Everyone enjoyed it - wonderful concert. I wish it was Alice Tully Hall. It was Merkin Hall in 1992, but thanks for reminiscing Marty. The concert was entitled "Monk, Bud and Bird: Rediscovered Rarities" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jun 2015 Related. Just discovered this today: Jazz in Detroit c. late 80s.Charles McPherson with Kenn Cox a very young Rodney Whitaker and /Roy Brooks. Priceless footage. The tenor sax heard over the opening credits is Donald Walden, the host, who came up in Detroit with Charles and Lonnie Hillyar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfzgb5h1VL0 … Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jun 2015 I just read an article about how people and investors are starting to buy houses again in Detroit because the prices are so low. Hopefully jazz will come back, also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
