oh that´s bad news. I first heard him with Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band. It was shortly before Thad and Mel separated....., and I remember that´s the first time I had heard that great pianist.

Max Roach with Strings ! I heard them live.

yes thats it, I ask the tenor player the way he wants to do it.

Yes you are right, I heard it. It´s good that way, easier to memorize, I mean I don´t like to have sheet on the piano, so you are right, I just keep the form of the song the way I have memorized it and play the solos just in the form. 😀

I love it

Me at a studio for promotion fotos Thats the wonderful Miss RA, my girlfriend, who is not a trained musician but can finger out stuff that really makes sense to me and I picked up some of her stuff. She has such a sense for music, it´s incredible..... Here we checkin out what I rote down from the stuff she played...... I´d say after such a rough start this year it turned out to be the best year I ever had. And this one was done outdoor. Well I lost some pounds that´s true

So great ! I love it so much and it helped me so much....

I just want to ask you musicians about that great tune. Of course I know the form of the song, but is it true that for the solos most musicians omit the last 4 bars ? I have listened to some records, one of it by Clifford Jordan and the Magic Triangle, and one by Bud Powell. Sure I also know the Miles Davis version, but that one is in Eb and I have to play it for someone who want´s it in F. So please, tell me if I´m right and on solos you just play the form, but not the last 4 bars, or am I wrong ?

Last night: Chico Freeman. Time flies, first Time I saw him in 1979 at Velden. He îs great!

That´s a very nice album and I love Clifford Jordan´s playing, it´s so forcefull

I saw him together with Chico Freeman doing a Tribute to McCoy Tyner at Porgy&Bess this spring or early summer.

That´s a very fine album

I love this !!!!!!!

yeah that´s right and it feels so good to help a talented young musician from Hungary. You are a saxophone player, you might like the way he plays, but I think anyway you heard him on our last album and maybe on youtube. You sure must like him ! And now that I get more and more away from straight ahead boppish kinda music he sound so good on my new stuff also, it´s just wonderful to have such a person !

oh, first I want all my band members feel good and he is the youngest and still student at the famous Viennese University MUK, the best place for studying jazz in my country. Many students from all the world come to Viena to study here because it´s so good. He is so good he gets such a lot of calls. I was the first to give him a job. And it´s not for just one tune: He made copies of ALL MY compositions on our last album last year ("Waltz For Serena") and from 3 new tunes we play currently and will be on the album we gonna record on october 4th/5th, plus the three compositions we still hadn´t performed. AND: He transcribes it for C, Eb, and Bb instruments. So that´s quite a JOB and I think 200 Euro this time is okay for me and he was very very glad to hear that I pay him. And last but not least: He comes to my place, we check the tunes together. We did it in the past and I didn´t pay him, but now I think he must get some money.
