clifford_thornton Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Spaulding is great. I will write him and wish him a happy birthday as well! I plan to republish the great interview I did with him in 2004. It still holds up as one of the finer ones I was able to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I always play jazz by Indiana musicians on the Thursday show and will be spinning Mr. Spaulding's recordings today in honor of his birthday. 22 minutes ago, clifford_thornton said: Spaulding is great.

Milestones Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Happy birthday, Mr. Spaulding. I've been a fan for almost as long as I've been into jazz, which is nearly 40 years now. I first got into him through his work with Freddie Hubbard, and soon became to discover his sterling contributions to many Blue Note sessions. Yes, he is very under-recorded. But one of his outstanding albums as a leader is Brilliant Corners--pretty much a Monk tribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesnik Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Oh, didn't know that. Just heard him on flute and alto too on Bobbyy Hutcherson's Components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
