Yeah, most of the time they (Jim & Joe) let me stretch out a little, though I get shit once in awhile if I'm tryin' to move a simple groove around too much. Case in point, "Clap Yo' Hands".. I really have to discipline myself to just sit on that groove pattern in the front of the tune... I guess it comes from so many years of playing bebop and free jazz... Thanks jmjk for the positive words...

I like listening in the car or late at night at home when there are not so many distractions. A lot of my gigs have out of town driving time so it's a great time for me to check the radio presets and see what's happening... Jim Wilke's "Jazz Afterhours" is always enjoyable on those drives home late at night on the weekends..

You are talking about Charles Tolliver?.. One of the great trumpet innovators of all times, emotionally moving and hard swinging Jazz at it's finest!. I've got some of his sides going back to the 70's when I first heard him on the Stratus label "Music Inc"... what ever happened to Jimmy Hopps? He is BAD ASS!

I enjoy your comments and avatar images.... my kind of people

Jim's been playing that Sonny Stitt tune lately, Goin' down to D.C., in spite of my telling him that we are way too white to pull that off! Thanks for the compliments mr. jazz. I'm the drummer with Jim & Joe and I am constantly amazed at how, after playin' with them for 21/2 years they still manage to come up with tunes I've never played with them!! ~Randissimo~

I'm playin this Saturday night with bitchin' B3 man Lyman Woodard at the Music Menu, Greektown, Detroit. Problem is, I don't know the :best way to get there from I-96... huh: ~Randissimo~
