Yes Maybe September. Private tape - reel to reel.

THAT is Chicago jazz.

Yes, sir. If you thought it was worthwhile, I'm glad I posted it. I just checked the interwebs - the year was 1990, and Johnny Griffin was the headliner. I thought that was the case, but wasn't sure, for some reason. IIRC before or after we played, Von and Clifford Jordan played together.

Joel, I bet you never heard this: Earlier discussion here

I was fortunate to play a week with Von at the Vanguard in January, 1994. What an education! I remember playing "I'm a Fool to Want You." It was so cold in the club that week, IIRC we could see our breath on the stage. Following Griffin's set at the 1988 Chicago Jazz Fest we got to play a couple of tunes with Griff, Eddie Harris, Clifford Jordan, Von and E. Parker McDougal. Sun Ra wouldn't allow John Gilmore to join us. One of the true originals of this music. When you're that original you're kind of invincible - nobody can fuck with you. RIP

ShapeShifter Lab Lot of creative and interesting activities going on here.

Nice shot of Paul West and Jimmy Cobb at 0:54

John Mosca told me he came across some parts to "Delores," the implication being that parts were missing. I'll ask him about it again.

Drums credited to Dave Bailey end of the film. That looks like the inside of Chumley's at the 5:02 mark.

Duke Pearson's "You Know I Care" off of Inner Urge.

Henning Mankell mentions Lars Gullin in the Wallander series novel, "Before the Frost."

@Vanguard 2000

Great final today. Pound for pound one of the best matches I've ever seen.

Lotta Johnny Griffin on there.

I see y'all missed this Kenny Dorham Tribute with Charles Davis.

Talented young men on the NY scene: Anderson Twins

You beat me to it. Actually it's Wilfred Middlebrooks, III. I played trio with him and Billy Higgins in LA.

Cyrus Chestnut

I got Miles' "Right Off" from Jack Johnson, but... it's time for a change.

That must be Hobart Dotson.. Reminds me of Nica's address book. Although hers was much more colorful.

Great musician and composer. I played a number of his pieces while working with Art Farmer.
