Interesting, must be a gas....crazy I saw Joe Farrell in 1983 and was disappointed because he was billed together with Chet and Chet could not be found....lost somewhere....so it was "only" Joe with a rhythm section with Joanne Brackeen, I regret that I was disapointed then because Chet was missing. I heard Joe Farrell died quite early ? Pres in Europe was when ? I read somewhere, that Pres did Europe in his very last year on earth..... I think I even have a studio record, I think it has some US-Expatriates on it, could be Klook and others.... Anyway, I love Lester Young, but I often have regrets in context with the drummers they gave him, I think there is just one record with an interesting drummer and this of course is Roy Haynes, but it´s a live broadcast or a bootleg, I don´t remember.... was on one of those many cheap European bootleg labels back in the 70´s ..... Great, fantastic ! I didn´t know that record. But I heard Woody in the late 70´s and even once again in 1985, but then he had an all star combo. I remember, the BigBand I heard 1979 was outa sight, they was one of the highlites of that festival, Sonny Rollins, Elvin Jones I think, and I think the last act on the last of the 3 nights was Woody.....really great I loved it !

Disc 5 (again)

I very much like his record with strings.

More Shirley Scott: with Stanley Turrentine

Just got in from another bout of shoveling and am warming up my hands. There were about 3 more inches dropped since I was last out, and it’s still coming down gently. Sigh. I think it’s supposed to end. . . soon (?) Feels good to sit down in front of the system. Now playing Marcus Printup “Nocturnal Traces” Blue Note cd Bass – Ricky Ravelo Drums – Woody Williams Piano – Kevin Bales Trumpet, Producer – Marcus Printup Recorded January 24 & 25, 1998 at Avatar Studio C, NYC.

❤️ 👍

A good one!

There’s a record show every month in Wayne. Not jazz specific though.
