The Dexter Gordon Complete Columbia Albums Box Set!! it's glorious! i'm in heaven!

i will bet you anything that those Vanguard shows are going to sell out very quickly!!

fyi: Steve Schwartz will be paying tribute to some of the folks we lost in 2011 during his WGBH-FM show tonight. starts streaming at 8pm-12M and for me on the West Coast at 5pm-9pm.

interesting that Los Angeles is not listed in the top 40 but San Diego and San Francisco are.

ah, thanks for the clarification, Mike. i knew my interpretation was too good to be true! LOL

read posts above, Mr. Schrick. is this bio still available? if so, where? is it in English? thanks in advance.

i'm sure Gildo must have recorded with Lorez Alexandria as well.

Gildo Mahones is still very much with us but spends most of his time these days playing for his gorgeous baby grandson. after living for many decades in L.A., he and his wife moved to Oakland, CA last year to be closer to their daughter. i know he has done some "sitting in" in SF and Oakland recently.

you guys are just stupid! not even stupid-funny!

it's not just to see Wynton but all the other brilliant musicians, 4-5 course meal, champagne, etc., etc. and it's New Year's Eve! wanna take me?!? LOL

hope you're enjoying some warm weather on your birthday!! i'm freezing in Santa Monica!! best to you, always, David. btw, i don't have a current email for you. please send when you get a chance. meanwhile, continue enjoying!! best to Gloria too!

good luck and enjoy! i'd stop by either or both gigs but the 3,000 mile distance won't allow it.

this is a big loss. very sorry to hear it.

i would go back to 56 in a heartbeat!! probably a stronger one than i have now! Happy Birthday to you!

it would be great if you guys left your messages/wishes on his blog as well. his wife reads them to him on a regular basis. www.clarkterry.com

is Mr. Jarman best known for his work with the Art Ensemble of Chicago?

wow, i'm another one who didn't know he was still around!! i always appreciated his dry wit. sure brings back memories of '50s tv.

thanks, Larry. that was a treat!

not the pianist but the piano, right?!? just double-checking!! LOL thanks for posting this treasure, Mark.

negativity for sale!! get it cheap while it's hot!! LOL

alas, my favorite session is an unrecorded one: happened during a Sunday matinee in a Boston jazz club 'round about 1943. the story goes (as it's been told to me), Roy sat me up on top of the piano, played to me, and dubbed me "Little Jazz"! i was about 3 years old! can't say i remember much of it though!

i cannot wait for the new season to start! don't have a clue as to when that will be though.

Staples and every other store that sells computers also sells various and sundry cloths for cleaning monitor screens. most of them are priced very reasonably.

sounds right to me, GA!
