do you have their 'kismet' vinyl? With the Montgomery brothers being from Indy, I've always been a fan. I got a chance to hear/photograph Buddy playing piano in the afternoon and vibes in the evening a while back....nice! ....a fan of everything Montgomery....even Elizabeth Montgomery m~

I saw Oliver Nelson, Jr's trio.....here's a photo of Oliver, jr.

Henry's gig is in support of the "Let your motto be resistance" exhibit at the ICP. I went through the exhibit a week or so ago....very good....catch it..and Henry if you can!!! m~

Hey Stefan, you've got mail!

Have a Great Day!

...and that's all! R.I.P. Johnny!

Here are a few photos from the last time I saw Johnny. Although he didn't play this night he had the crown in stitches with his stories! m~

....you'll now need to change your name to henderson_fanatic!!!

Wow, what a complete fucking asshole. I've probably bought around 2,000 cds over the last 10 years, and I'm the reason the music industry is dying. Why don't you get the slightest clue about who/what you are posting about before you go around throwing words like "asswipe" around? Some of us have been weary of (or even insulted by) Universal/Verve's cynical marketing methods for years, and see no need to give them the benefit of the doubt, ESPECIALLY when it comes to new repackagings of material by major artists (where they tend to stoop the lowest). Off I go to figure out that "ignore" feature... A complete fucking asshole is someone who calls something "lame" without having the slightest clue about what they're talking about. Alternative definition - any wimp who calls someone a "fucking asshole" on an otherwise civil internet board. Real men don't do anything online they wouldn't do face to face. Too bad any fool with a computer can post his stupidity online. Anyways, my mistake, I wasn't aiming my comments at you (I know, you probably assume anytime someone uses the term "asswipe" they mean you) but really at music lovers who should not let the comments of a few dimwits prevent them for getting a great, bargain priced release of kick-ass music in superb sound. And yes, it's people like you - numbnuts who post DEAD WRONG information without having ANY IDEA AT ALL about the title in question that give otherwise sincere potential buyers the wrong idea about a title that causes them to decide not to buy. An unfortunate byproduct of the internet era is that it gives even those with nothing to contribute the ability to damage a product, and that has indeed contributed to labels only playing it very safe...and to declining sales. ...mis-informed maybe but a complete asswipe is a little strong...just my 2 cents. m~

Johnny was a funny guy and wonderful player. I had the chance to talk with him for a few minutes at Joe Segal's 80th Birthday party in 2006....I have some nice photos I'll post of him later today. R.I.P. Johnny

Tom, Sorry to hear about the bad luck. One thing I can offer is that with each job change I've had in my career, each of them have been progressively better positions with more opportunies as well....keep your head up! Good Luck and keep us posted! m~

He performs "Back home again in Indiana" every year at the Indianapolis 500 to the cheers of a few hundred thousand people. m~

...please respect that some do. That said, I know nothing of Randolph with the exception of his hit. m~

I'm not sure.

Eldee was the bass player. He played cello too. Always a positive spirit when I encountered him. Mike may have been referring to Jazzkat's question and my reply about Holt. m~

I saw Redd a few weeks ago at the Jazz Kitchen in Indy. The show was a blast and he's a great guy. I got some really nice photos and then my kazillion dollar camera expired on me....but the show was cool. m~ ps, the camera has been repaired!

Bassist Henry Grimes has a wonderful, newly published book of his poetry...see the note below on how to get it. Most of this was written during the time Henry was off the music scene.
