Here is one image I made of Frank Morgan last night. m~

...the book can be had on-line for $120.00 or so; worth every penny IMHO~~~ It may take me until the end of spring to read it completely . May have to build a new book case to hold it....it's freakin' huge!!!

Mel will be at the Green Mill with Peter Bernstein the week before we play there in January. ...another great show at the Green Mill on January 27th will be Dana Hall with Tim Warfield and Terrel Stafford!

.....you're killin' me!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from me as well. I'm off to Chicago to see Frank Morgan tonight, spending Christmas Eve with my better half's family in Lafayette, Indiana and Christmas Day with my family in Indy~ Looking forward to a great and properous 2006 for everyone! Drive safely and don't over eat !!! m~ ps. Thanks to Jim and the guys for the hospitality in 2005~~~

He's now in NY. The trio will play in a tiny (non-jazz) club in Indy tonight but I'll be out of town......that just killls me to miss it! m~

I was asked to photograph Killer Ray Appleton receiving his Indiana Hall of Fame award tonight at the Jazz Kitchen in Indy. Here is an image after the show with Mel Rhyne, Tenor player David Young (G. Russell's Stratusphunk) and Killer Ray Appleton.

...you poor guy!!!

That's all your feygeleh vodka bottle is good for - beating up on some poor sap in a parking lot. Stick to Stoli, leave all these phony vodkas to the Hamptons crowd. Snob!!!

Well....my better half is a vet and if I gave her a jazz cd, she would look at me like I had a third eye ....it would end up as a coaster!!! m~

Blake, come on the 9th instead!!! The 10th-15th is Joe's regular weekly shows.....in any event, I will be there on Monday the 9th! How about the other Chicago guys.......JazzyPaul, Larry Kart???? m~

...headin' out the door for the Indy game right now.....can't wait!!! m~

Brad, I have the entire set of BeeHives and you're right; very good stuff. Believe it or not, I bug Jim Neumann about releasing on cd everytime I see him. I'll see him again in the next couple weeks for dinner and a show and I'll bug him again!!! m~

...on page 62 of the book there is a photograph of who I'm sure is Charles McPherson but the caption says Bobby McPherson as does the index......does he have a twin brother that plays alto named Bobby or is this an error, twice? m~

Thanks for the info guys. It was nice getting the book as I had not seen these images before! Mark

I don't really know much about Leloir but my friend Jim Neumann just sent me an early Christmas gift, a book that is called du Jazz plein les yeux. 97 pages of jazz images I've never seen before.....outstanding! Mark

well.....some of you are in the home of Big Ben !!! While I am a Pacer fan and they are good, they are certainly not the best team in the league at this point in time!!!...........Rachel...... indeed????? m~

...that was my first thought as well.

....signed print from the Golson show last night in Chicago.....is now available!!!

....one photograph from last nights show.

...same here!

That sucks big time!!! Phil was born in Indy and plays here from time to time; great player and nice guy. Hope he recovers fully and soon! m~

Great show David! I had a note from Margaret and she said she tried to call in but got voice mail. She said Henry was very excited about the show!!! m~

This print has been signed by Fred Anderson and Henry Grimes!!! Mark, Being a B&W print, did you get the signatures in silver? I have a few B&W's signed in silver and they look phenomenal. Kevin Kevin, The prints are in acid free, white mats; they are signed on the mat with a thin line black marker. I know what you mean about the silver on b/w prints, very cool looking!!! m~

....do you mean his wife (Peggy Moffitt-Claxton) or do you mean Peggy Lipton from the Mod Squad??? m~
