Yes he is. He's produced the Art of Jazz Series at the Albright Knox Art Gallery for some time. Now with the AK closed for a major renovation, he's connected with Kleinhans Music Hall - Home of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra - and has moved the Art of Jazz Series there.
The Art of Jazz at the Philharmonic
The soon to become Albright Knox Gundlach Art Museum as a fabulous place with one of the world's great collections of Abstract Expressionism and other genres of modern art like cubism, surrealism and pop art. Also very nice collection of impressionism and post impressionism. Kleinhans Music Hall is just a great place to hear music. It was designed by the Finnish architects Eliel and Eero Saarinen. Beautiful building and acoustics
Thank you!

In addition, one disc per day from this box:
I started to do the exact same-working my way to the Punch Miller set, but I got sidetracked after disc 1 (actually just the Young Tuxedo Brass Band). Thanks for the reminder!

Would anyone know whether my old friend Bruce Eaton is still putting on shows there in Buffalo?

I don't understand why they didn't release it years ago. All the metal spine boxes they did seemed to be heading towards a culmination with the Agharta/Pangaea material. Why was that box never released?
I was laboring under this misapprehension as well.

I enjoy this one-but I really like Jess Stacy (and Allen Reuss is a favorite).

Wait. Kenny Dorham? I must check this out.

This was the edition of the Mothers the first time I saw Zappa. I loved it, but was decidedly disappointed by the studio record made by this line up. This is much closer to the music I enjoyed, as nearly as I can recall at this late juncture, that fateful night back when I was 16.

And at one point he shouted to the audience "What do you want to hear" and one guy shouted back "Salt Peanuts", and Sonny made that grimasse and played something else (I think "They can´t take it away from me").
I ran into Mr. Stitt at the Homewood library in Pittsburgh. Typically there would be lessons given on Saturday, but nearly everyone was at some event leaving me and an assortment of neighborhood folks on hand. In walks (Mr.) Stitt alto in hand asking what we want to hear. "Cherokee!" was the near universal reply. Followed by my lone addendum "Koko." He turned the bell of his horn towards me and started playing Koko. It was amazing-I will remember that as long as I live.

Donald Brown was my favorite of the Memphis pianists who came to prominence in the 90's.

I've started playing Wordle of late. I played a word game called Wordscapes for a couple of years but was starting to tire of it and the adds that came with it owing to my unwillingness to pay for a game.

Disc 2
When I was 18 I took my mother to see Mr. B and the Basie band. She was a longtime fan and was pretty happy when I gave her this set years later. As much as I like the more boppish material reissued by Savoy, I find this more to my liking.

I hadn't listened to this one in years-it still kills.

The Complete H. R. S. Sessions.
Listening to the Pee Wee Russell, Jack Teagarden, and Sandy Williams elements.

I love disc 3 from this one for some reason. Great set though.
Yes! Thank you for recommending that. Embarrassingly, I found that my set's third disc had never been opened. Perhaps it was meant to be so...I am finding it the perfect record for me today.

![SIDNEY BECHET - MOSAIC SELECT #22: SIDNEY BETCHET BY SIDNEY BETCHET CD BOX [NEW] 79899600028 | eBay](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/xrYAAOxyOlhSrOtk/s-l300.jpg)
I had been listening to the material on disc 1 from other sources for years and not really played the Mosaic version very much (if at all). Disc 2 is a go-to for me as always.

Mixed emotions about these for me (as with Grossman in general, not just these records, he was apparently a "complicated guy")
My buddy Jim Spake took a lesson or two with Steve Grossman in the mid-seventies. Mr. Grossman made my friend work a bit harder on friend's Coltrane transcription; Mr. Grossman apparently interrupted the lesson to yell to his mother asking after the whereabouts of a joint.

Hello All -
Any recent word on this box set? Maybe in 2022?
On 4/23/2021 at 4:12 PM, JSngry said:Do they have all the missing parts now? Hope so, this is a set I could preorder without hesitation.
I wrote offering to preorder sight unseen and received this reply: We’re not set up in the system yet for the B&W set – we’re looking for it to be released sometime in March. We’ll send you an email when its ready.

Finding this more germane now that my tastes have broadened.

Lovely. Do you remember his response?
He very pleasantly and coolly reassured her that it was okay.
Another time he brought Memphis tenor legend Herman Green to town to play, and it was a proud moment for me digging a hometown legend with my Pittsburgh people. Herman in turn brought Jothan here to play and record with local band Free World. I believe they recorded one of his tunes Sons and Daughters of the Sun.
The last time I saw Jothan was in Jackson Mississippi playing with Sun Ra C 1991 (it was a triple bill: Sun Ra, Tito Puente, and Al Green for $8!) Despite the fact that there were maybe a dozen people in attendance for Sun Ra, I couldn't find a chance to say howdy.

Jothan Callins was my section teacher in my Jazz (appreciation) course at Pitt. I vividly recall a class wherein he played us Out of This World from Coltrane Live in Seattle, prompting one of my classmates to raise her hand and ask, "Is it okay if we don't like this?"

And damn near EVERYBODY got squirrels, right?
I have been told in all seriousness that "it's not gumbo without squirrel."

I'm always glad to hear Muggsy Spanier and come back to these records regularly. My favorite from this set lately has been I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate.
