...thought I would post a link to this...not sure if anyone is even aware of the organization and their annual awards but here it is..... http://www.jazzjournalists.org/ and a link to the "photo of the year" nominees. I have one in here as well and chose it basically because I like the photo, love Fathead Newman and this was the last photo I made of him before he passed away. http://www.jazzjournalists.org/photonominees?page=1 m

I know Arthur....ran into him many times in LA at the LA Jazz Institute Big Band events....bought a few books from him; nice guy. m

...Happy Birthday....glad it's been a good one so far....enjoy dinner!

...would love to have it if not already gone....will find something to offer up as well. m

...Tony Monaco this weekend in Indy.

...is he giving him a light or snapping his fingers....hard to tell? m

I found an original copy of this on ebay a couple years ago...bid more on it but won it for 12 bucks. Everyone else must have been naping. Stock is a very good photographer! Always liked that shot of Crow and his bass...use it as a screen saver. m

...don't be afraid of sex...it's fun .

...where in Chicago?

...met him/photographed this this past fall in LA along with Jack Costanzo, Armando Peraza and Francisco Aguabella>.....all cool guys! m

I picked this up at a used record store years ago for $19.00....probably rates as one of the better bargains I've received! m

....hey Lazaro....hope you had a good day!!!

..... ....have a great one!

. ..hope you had a great day!

...saw him once 6-7 years ago...good show, not great. m

....agreed!

....wow, you've changed a bit since I've seen you....David still looks the same! m

...dude, I think your....uh...birthday wishes say alot about you. I will share this with Gina to give he a little more insight into your mind....I'm sure it will scare here.

...I'll be 52 all year so you're good! Thanks again! m

...one of these days I'll get a good one....! Thanks for all the birthday wishes....greatly appreciated! m~

...thanks for posting. I'll share it with my "great day in indy" email list as they are almost all from Indiana so will get a kick out of this. I know his daugher Nina is aware of the program but I'll copy her as well. m~

...hope you had a Great Day

I think the bassist is Nick Tountas. Willie is an amazing player! ...amazing player and wonderful man! I went to his 70th Birthday party and it was basically a tribute to him by a couple dozen great musicians/friends....Faddis, Bellson, C. Terry, G. Bartz, Bunky Greene, Barry Harris, Robert Shy, Larry Gray, Richard Davis and many others.... m
