He plays those two clubs in August for the past four years. It is referred to as “the Kirk Lightsey Week.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) 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. 2 hours ago, Hardbopjazz said: It is referred to as “the Kirk Lightsey Week.” Every week should be Kirk Lightsey week. 3 hours ago, ghost of miles said: 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. Edited July 17, 2019 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
