Saw Bob Mintzer with the Royal Northern College of Music Big Band tonight. http://www.rncm.ac.uk/whats-on-mainmenu-47/explore-whats-on-mainmenu-95/icalrepeat.detail/2012/07/07/1285/413/rncm-big-band-with-bob-mintzer.html A great show - the student band handled Mintzer's charts with ease and Bob played startlingly accomplished saxophone with overtones of both Coltrane and Oliver Nelson to my ears. Show was preceded by a performance of saxophone quartets written by Mintzer - liked these too. In each case I was about ten feet from the performers and the sound quality was perfect.

Interesting, and no, I don't recall. I remember the "Dju Berry" alias, but I've forgotten who it actually was... probably because I don't think I kept that LP for too long. 25+ years has separated me from the details. Stan Getz.

At the age of 72, I have to be careful what I put here, but I wouldn't be displeased if Rupert Murdoch went before I did.
