  1. Past hour
  2. That was the first Cal Tjader I had on CD, and at the time, I thought it was a great comp. I would probably still think so.
  3. A sad loss ... R.I.P.
  4. I was REALLY surprised to learn that Hal Galper (born April 18, 1938) was actually older than McCoy Tyner (born December 11, 1938). I somehow thought Hal was part of the next generation influenced by McCoy.
  5. Big band Teagarden in that lush Capitol 'fifties sound. Jack Teagarden “This is Teagarden” Capitol LP
  6. R.I.P. Greatly enjoyed the fiery group he had with the Brecker Bros. in the late 70's.
  7. Today
  8. Something different than Mingus. . . . Chico Buarque “Meus Caros Amigos” Philips cd
  9. Saw him with Phil Woods. A very good jazz pianist. I have a number of his trios CDs. R.I.P.
  10. Vince Guaraldi, Jazz Impressions
  11. Material from shortly after getting this set I made 4 CDRs of the master takes from 1927-1934.
  12. ..... from this twofer CD:
  13. Charles Mingus “Oh Yeah” Atlantic/Analogue Productions SACD Such great music, from amazing musicians! Bass – Doug Watkins Drums – Dannie Richmond Flute, Siren, Tenor Saxophone, Wind [Manzello, Strich] – Roland Kirk Piano, Vocals – Charles Mingus Tenor Saxophone – Booker Ervin Trombone – Jimmy Knepper
  14. Jim Alfredson - In Memorandom (Big O Records)
  15. Hangin' with Sam. RIP
  16. From this twofer CD. Tjader plays drums here. Next is:
  17. Before re-filing this downstairs in the LP shelves I decided to listen to side B again. This is a corker of an LP and boy does this pressing sound good. J&K “Stone Bone” A&M/CTI LP (RSD release)
  18. Wynton Kelly: Kelly Blue. Original Jazz Classics/ZYX MUSIC OJCCD 033-2 [Germany s.d.]
  19. RIP. Seeing him live was a great double pleasure: great music, great stories.
  20. Continuing on in the “Enjoying the Ride” 60th Anniversary box set. Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY (2/20/71) 250×158 13.9 KB
  21. I was surprised he was 87 as well. I saw Galper a few times over the years but it's been a long time since I last saw him perform. I really enjoyed his playing with Phil Woods.
  22. He had been living in upper state New York around Callicoon, right on the Pennsylvania border. I saw on FB that he then had a afternoon gig at Rafter's Tavern, a local spot. caught him once there with Billy Mintz on drums. Can't remember who was on bass. Fun hour.
  23. I was personally a little surprised that he was 87 years old. I had the impression that he was mainly active in the 1970s, so I had assumed he was born in the late 1940s or early 1950s (for example, his one-time bandmate Michael Brecker was born in 1949), but he was actually a generation older than them. It makes sense, considering he was active in Chet Baker's band in the 1960s. Personally, I think Now Hear This, featuring the powerful lineup of Japanese-born Terumasa Hino, Cecil McBee, and Tony Williams, is his masterpiece. Galper, despite being the leader, doesn't stand out much in a way, which might be disappointing for him, but it's wonderful jazz. RIP.
