...we heard you the first time!

...Freeport?

I brought this up in a different thread....not that I'm losing sleep over it but it's kinda strange....very chewy like. m~

I saw this flick as a kid and thought it was pretty scary. Would like to see it again as an adault. m~

Henry's is a book of poetry reflecting on his thoughts over a long period of time including the time he was off the music scene. It was supposed to include some of his drawings as well but for some reason they were not included. I am not a poet....and I know it.......... but as I've had a chance to spend a little time with Henry over the past couple years, I think it's quite interesting. I did not pick up the Parker book but the publisher sent me a copy even thought I did not contribute to it. I have not read this one yet...only paged through it a bit but it appears to be interesting as it's William's take on music, the players, the industry and so on. Hope to read it in the next week. m~

I have the book as well as their new one by Henry Grimes. I have a handful of images in the Grimes book which I did grant permission to use. I have nothing in the Parker book. I've had many conversations with the publishers as well with no issues. m~

...at what point did young aloc start discussing himself in the third person... RIP John!

...sorry I missed the party....hope it was a good one!

...I agree!

I picked up a couple of these from the Bastards this weekend....Dr. Lonnie Smith's "Keep on Lovin'" and Lucky Thompson's "Illuminations". The Thompson disc is pretty staight forward playing by Lucky...Walton's electric piano gives it a trippy feel. I really like Lonnie's disc as well with the exception of his singing on the title track. He sings on at least one other track that I can get into. Overall, I'll pick up others from this batch of releases. Note.... the liner notes leave a LOT to be desired. Nothing there but the song titles and a few credits. m~

Phil's a great guy. He just sent me an LA newspaper with an article about him. He played in Indy (his hometown) with Slide Hampton and Steve Davis a couple months ago and I sent him some photos of the three of them. Belgrave will be here in the near future...would be good to see Phil show up to play. m~

Yes, I was at one of those shows with you--thanks for holding the great seats! Definitely go see Benny; it's incredible, if nothing else, simply to hear him perform something like "I Remember Clifford" or "Along Came Betty" live. ....and one from that show! m~

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

It chewed through the wood window frame upstairs (and most of the way through mine). But the nonprofit upstairs is still stuck with a hole chewed straight through the window (the landlord never fixes anything regardless of severity or urgency). Now that makes more sense....I've seen some crazy squirrels including one that ate himself to death and died next to a consumed 40 lb. bag of sunflower seeds in my garage dead with all fours in the air!....but not one that could eat through glass! m~ At 1:17AM I tend to fogive myself for saying "the window" when I mean more specifically "the window frame". I forgive you as well. BTW, your photo from Vision Fest is going out tomorrow....thank god the squirrel is gone! m~

I saw him with Lee last year in Chicago....very nice! m~

Info on those particular prints was sent out in an email a couple days ago.....here http://www.mosaicrecords.com/photosearch.asp?search=52 is a link to the other photos on the Mosaic site. m~ And nary a Jackson, Wilkerson or Willette among them - just those commercial people MG I have dozens of these prints in various sizes, bought before they changed to the ink jet prints (which are very nice and archival as well). At that time, they told me they would basically print anything that I could find that Francis shot? May be worth giving them a call. Most likely they don't want to list everthing he shot....hell I wouldn't list everything I have shot. I have a nice big print of Jimmy Smith that was used on the Mosaic set that I had Jimmy sign...very cool. He was under the weather that night and a "little" grouchy! m~ >edited for spelling

Jan, you're telling a squirrel chewed through glass? What do you take us for ??? m~

Nice site David and thanks for the earlier peek inside! Thanks for using my two photos of Henry Grimes (one with Fred Anderson @ the old Velvet Lounge) as well!!! m~

Jim's a little pricey! m~

Hi Von, you'll find many fans of West Coast Jazz and your Dad on Organissimo. Love those Nocture recordings as well. Stick around and post when you can. Mark~

Have a good one! ...who is the best guitarist in NYC???

That matches my own very limited experience in Bloomington & Indianapolis--it still retains a following, but mostly among older listeners who grew up in the 1950s, 60s, or 70s. Also have very limited radio-demographic evidence to back this up, but there seems to be more of an African-American audience--younger, anyway--for smooth jazz rather than straightahead/classic. I've made this observation many times in Indy. m~
