....strange guy if I recall!

Yes, he is a very nice guy indeed. I also chatted with him a bit over email. I too had never seen any of his photos before, but he tells me that some of his images were used in the Eric Dolphy film "Last Date". He also told me that he is on the planning committee for the Bergamo Jazz Festival. Nice! What year are those from? I have a group of button from the early sixties and the ones posted above are from the late sixties and early seventies. I think Nat passed away in 65.

Wigwise, I have about 30 prints (Elvin, Coltrane, Dolphy, Shorter, Hubbard and many others) made by Riccardo. I don't think I had seen any of them before. I had a few email conversations with him over the course of a year...nice guy. I also have about a dozen original Herman Leonard prints, another dozen or so by Francis Wolff (one I had signed by Jimmy Smith several years ago), a couple by Gottlieb and something by Claxton. Have a nice poster of with the RVG covers sigend by RVG in silver marker that's hanging in my music room. I dig the shot above by Roy....very nice. I have his book as well...too cool~ Although I now have a few thousand images that I have made, I have none of them hanging up at home; have several of my prints signed by various artists in my office at work! One other thing I have in my music room at home is a collection of Monterey Jazz Fest Press pins and ribbons that I got from Nat King Cole's road manager; all framed in two shadow box frames. Mark

....as an American, I thought you were always behind us!!! Just kidding, I'm a big fan of your and your country! m~ Works both ways... although I wonder about your country these days ....I wonder about the entire world but at the expense of turning this into a political thread, I will just say "have a great day" from your American friend!!! m!

Saw this http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/24/arts/mus....html?th&emc=th in the NY Times this morning. m~

I have some things that I want to part with, possibly on Ebay. Is there someone that experienced in selling that can answer some questions I have via pm, email or phone? Thanks in advance! Mark

Im willing to sell the RVG's for $7, the Connoisseurs for $10, the 20bit K2 for $9, considering the conditions of the cd's. You could make me an offer if you're gonna buy more than one. I guess where you'd win with these cd's is with shipping prices. I'll charge you whatever they charge me. Don't plan to make money out of it. ...fair prices!

A clever, if inside, joke. ...good one! I think their commercials are quite witty!

Hi Jim, have a GREAT day! ps, 50 is the new 30 ~~~

...won't be too long and you guys will be too big for the rest of us!!!

....as it does Gerald's
