Recommended - Kirk played a local club here some years ago. Great player and an infectious, positive character. Had a nice chat with him about the Chet Baker Prestige sessions and he even signed a couple of the Chet Prestige CDs for me in addition to his own latest CD. Back then he lived in France (presumably still does?) and regularly toured the UK.

  It is referred to as “the Kirk Lightsey Week.” 

Every week should be Kirk Lightsey week. :)

Oh man, wish I were in NYC then--I'd definitely go see him at either venue.

I will definitely be catching these gigs on the on-line feeds.

I remember when I first saw him with Dex I liked him from the first moment on, wonderful pianist. I had expected George Cables and was astonished there was a guy with a bald head I never saw and never heard and who Plays so beautifully. 

About Chet Baker: They played again together in 1983 for the Dutch Timeless label. It´s a record mostly of the Rhythm section of Dexter (without Dex), and Chet sit´s in on two tunes: A great Version of "Ray´s Idea", and "I Should Care". Besides being Dexters Rhythm section they started to work as an own unit: Kirk Lightsey, David Eubanks, and Eddie Gladden.
