I found "This one's for JA" both in Japanese ($58.) and domestically ($28.). I'm thinking about getting them both. I have a few good pictures of Pop but I cant load them here. Does anyone have anything I can copy or scan?

I want to THANK YOU ALL for this. When he would play Jones' he'd call me and I'd go down with my friends. He played Lily Greenleeves in Plainfield also. I KNOW Jones' is gone. I dont know about Lily's. I havent been in Plainfield in years. I'll pick up Patton's CD. I saw last night that Baraka wrote a book called Eulogies. It popped up when I was searching for Pop's (as my wife and I called him) name. I'm assuming Pop is in there. I had an old number for Baraka but I lost it over the years. I'd like to contact him also. If anyone has any pix of my father, please email them to me. Postal mail them to me and I'll scan and return them. I showed these replies to my kids. They think it's cool their grandfather is famous. ------------------------------------------------------------- I once read that my father was called the bulldozer of Jazz. Anyone have any comments on that???!! Love to hear it.

Thank you. I'm familiar with Ponder. He was in my father's address book. I will check out his stuff. I thought he recorded with Gloria Lynne not Coleman. I couldnt locate any info looking for Lynne anyway. I am trying to locate and obtain as much as possible for my children and future grands so that they can see that they descend from musical royalty. Thank you again.

"Legendary Tenor Jimmy Anderson". I like that. I am honored and pleased. My name is Gregg Anderson. Jimmy Anderson or JA was my father. I have been looking for years for photos, any recordings and ANY information on him. My father passed in May 1992 shortly after the birth of my son and his namesake. I attended his tribute held at Newark Symphony Hall, "A Jam for JA" which was hosted by Amiri Baraka. I was presented with a plaque from Mayor Sharpe James proclaiming the day, Jimmy Anderson Day. The event was filmed but I was unable to obtain a copy. That was the last time I had any contact with people who knew my father, with the exception of one man I met about five years ago, who played with him, Mark Polishook. Please, anyone who can tell me about my father, can provide me with photos, copies of his work or people he recorded with/for, I would seriously appreciate it.
