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

    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.

    Thanks Pete.

    Dex - keeping his ear on the Bachrach songbook! What a place to slip in that quote! So unexpected. If someone would be so kind as to embed the youtube here that would be great. I couldn't figure out how to do it.

    Top of his second chorus.

    Couldn't say I'm an expert on his whole output but I always loved his inspired work on the Thad Jones Mel Lewis date.

    My only experience thus far playing with Alvin was on the Griffin/Grossman recording, which I recall describing in another post. Suffice to say Alvin's quite a character and was a lot of fun to play with. He and Johnny were pretty close. Yes - Geneva.

    Neither did Buddy. I think not reading music only strengthens the ear and all the instincts associated with making music. I played with Steve Lacy in 1981, playing among other things, his written music.

    Picked up my copy a few days ago at a great store in Barcelona, Jazz Messengers. Can't wait to hear it.

    Thanks for posting. Lots of goodies there.

    Sure would have liked to hear the rest of that! I've been playing this tune for years. One of my favorites. I first learned it from a live KD broadcast from the Half Note - a feature for Sonny Red. Great tune. Never got to hear Teri Thornton's version.

    In 1995 I toured with the Jazztet in Europe with our first concert at the Vienna Volkstheater. It was, I believe, Curtis' first return to the stage after his lung operation. We followed George Shearing's trio. - a great treat.

    Which sister? The one I knew, Elaine Dundy, died a few years ago. Betty Lorwin

    At a stoop sale yesterday for $1! Just about in front of Ronnie Mathew's old house.

    New print available. Interesting article about the new Shirley Clarke Project in the NY Times today. Coincidentally her sister lives in our building.

    What about Steven Mackey?
  21. Michael Weiss
    You can do that, or if you aspire to be a professional musician, the recommended course of action is to develop your ear and transcribe it off the record yourself.

    I have a tape of another gig from the same club in Newark, two weeks earlier: Horace Silver and Lou Donaldson in a quartet with the same bassist Jimmy Schenk and Lloyd Turner on drums.

    Herbie sure knows, among lots of things, how to put those bass trombones to work.

    I played there with Johnny Griffin in 1985. I remember a nice vibe in the club. People were there to listen.
