I donated 10 matted prints to Fred Anderson to sell at his benefit show this coming Friday at the Velvet Lounge. As many of you know, the city is going to bulldoze the Velvet in the near future and Fred, along with many other musicians are holding a benefit this Friday night to raise some cash to revamp some new digs. I asked Fred to sign the 10 prints, which he did. I will offer them up to the first 10 folks that would like to help Fred and the many musicians he has helped through the years. These are 5x7 black & white images, which are matted to 11x14. The cost is $50.00 per print and includes shipping to any U.S. address. Every dime of each sale will go to Fred. Please PM me if you are interested. Any unsold prints will be returned to Fred to sell this coming Friday night. Thanks! Mark This is one of two different images

Here is one from tonights show at the Jazz Showcase!

...and another!

I photographed the benefit show today for Fred Anderson as the Velvet Lounge will be bulldozed in coming months. Here are a few photos from the benefit at Hot House in Chicago!

Not only IS Reggie a superstar (despite playing in a small market), I would start taking bets now that he will absolutely be a hall of famer!

Happy Birthday David; I hope it's a good one!!!

What did it taste like? My family was strictly RC Cola while all of this was happening. ←

I thought I would "up" this thread as the first of two benefit shows takes place tomorrow (5/22) at Hot House in Chicago 1-4:00 p.m.; be there!!! The second show is next Friday night at the Velvet Lounge! B-) Mark

Oscar Brown Jr (on the jazz scene USA)! B-)

No regrets here; The only ones I don't have are the ones that were gone before I knew what Mosaic was, which were many classics !

I agree, a little too pricey and I live 3 miles away! I like Branford and have seen him a few times but will pass on this one! ← What/where is the Music Mill? ← A little east of Keystone at the Crossing behind Uno's Pizza on 86th Street. Restaurant /Music venue (various).

He's done a half a dozen things in the past few years on HighNote.

...same with me! RIP

Mike, I'm sure I can get the set list from Bob Lark who was the leader of the band, as they say. I'll email a few other images to you as well; still diggin' for an Ira that suits your fancy . Slide will be in Indy if a few weeks to do a tribute to Jobim; anything you would like me to ask him? m-

I didn't know they had bumper stickers or cars back then!

I would agree with you on the Big Band; very good! Some dude from DownBeat was at the show I attended and gave an award to one of the trumpet players as well as the conductor. Did you pick up any of the cds they had for sale? I was in the audience when the recorded the Tom Harrell a few years ago and last years show with Phil Woods so I bought them as well as the one with Bob Brookmeyer. The price was right 3/$20.00!

WILD WOMEN RARELY GET THE BLUES!

He's in Chicago next week; I'm sure I make at least one show! B-)

Slide Hampton played the Jazz Showcase in Chicago this evening as guest soloist with the De Paul Jazz Band. Great show with many classics played. Here is one photo; I'll post a few others tomorrow. Mark

I have no problems with this . RIP, very sad to hear of his passing! Mark

Have a great one Dr. Rat!!!

Have a Happy Birthday!!!

I only saw the final 8 minues but I couldn't believe how many threes they took and they didn't connect on one of them. Nash made them all look silly!
