wanna say again how much it sux it was removed. grant was shreddin! im sorry i never got to see him, he was the real deal.

there used to be, i tried unsuccessfully. i wish GGjr would at least freakin release a statement. it meant a hell of a lot to me to see the man in action for the 1st time....and its removed...by his -son-? so weird

sux it came down, good thing i watched it 10 times- is GGjr really sellin it, how can i get one. if hes not sellin it, why take it down

sadly i only have the warne but i look forward to locating others

i wonder if this same french tv studio ever did a hank mobley episode There are a lot of great guitarists that never used their pinky that much; Kenny Burrell, Wes, Jimmy raney, George Benson, Chris Flory and Peter Bernstein, who Peter Leitch thinks is so Grant Green influenced that he calls him Peter 'Green'stein. ? wouldnt grant bernstein be a better nickname, i mean, come on....

the cd-stuff is just a footnote. the vinyl cutting was where it was really at, and he cut jazz records well into the 1980s. lots of great van gelder lps, even besides blue note

I believe it!! id go on tour with the jug too if i was around then. i also believe that 2nd part about his universal appeal.

after seein King Crimson perform "Red" & "Starless" earlier this month, im good on holdin off on this set for a little while

it seems in mullgians discog it notes he does play Carnegie during this time but the mulligan date matches up to that club date i found. shorty was on tv so much and there was the announcer before his piece.

k im rockin this rt now, so fantastic.....gerry sextet 12/3/55 b'cast from basin st, side 2 is chet broadcasts: the tonight show 5/12/55 + 8/7/55 birdland.... the one shorty part is the song: "my heart stood still".... cant seem to trace this one yet, should be pretty easy for those who know this sorta stuff....what tv broadcast did shorty play this tune on? i mean it could be a regular radio b'cast, but its just one song he put on this lp, theres other TV stuff on the lp, shorty WAS on TV a lot i know....so yea....my heart stood still/shorty/tv......anybody?

i mean they just had their labels printed like that, they printed the labels that way, its kind of funny. ill put this right next to those blue note "Climax" issues they did in the 78rpm days....

http://www.musicmattersjazz.com/category_s/92.htm all the classic lps on this page, have pic of their respective tape boxes. its so great to finally see the Sidewinder tape, look at that cover, its been thru hell n back! Mobley soul station. All of them. (btw did you see that autographed Mobley record that sold on ebay today, it also had the entire Miles band sigs so it went for 2k)

art 1955 tonight show performance and interview w. steve allen

saw this on ebay... never seen this before

he was like the west coast duke ellington, + more, i cant think of anything else to put it. the godfather of west coast jazz. Gerald Wilson. RIP. he played up here once maybe 7 yrs ago,but it was the wildest commute to reach it, involving a auto-ferry and multiple residential point by point turns. it was a time when i was not driving much, and i did not go. But i have all his records incl. the bootleg of his 78rpm stuff, all his pacific jazz lps as a leader, the 'orch. of the eighties' lps.......

the outpouring today is really awesome, although i have to say its sad how like sonny, is the sole tenor saxophone-recipient of anything like this! wish everyone was still around

aug is pickin up already had toto/michael mcdonald on the 3rd (was awesome when MM announced: we'd like to welcome the newest member of our group, on tenor sax would you please welcome, Brandon Fields), Fourplay feat. bob james, Deep Purple (who sounded exactly like Deep Purple), tonight: Miami R&B legend BLOWFLY, aug. ends w/ Yes next week and then the Beach Boys finishes it off Aug 30.

you know what would make it perfect? + Joe Sample on electric piano

look, i took a gander at this, am outraged. wrote in to the mag. its stupid, disrespectful, misleading & deceptive. obviously written by an indie-rock fool. i always knew there was somethin 'funny' abt 'the new yorker', now i get it.

when i saw Pat last year i presented this for him to sign- he smiled and recalled it as his 1st session! he was also like: theres my real name. my 1st prestige record

RIP. the very most funkiest blue note sessions, 1967-71, all contain Idris. his 1st bn date, Alligator Bogaloo. Reuben Wilson- Love Bug. Grant Green Alive! he represents ths entire blue note era for me. in 2006 i chose to see him over the Rolling Stones, true story. i had just seen the stones a few months before, and after all, charlie didnt play on Grant Green Alive! so i went to the jazz club

on the way: Copenhagen 1981, volumes 1, 2 & 3, there apparently is also a vol 4 out there w/ the very tail end of show/encore. it was $200, but i really wanted it-- doubt ill ever have another chance to come across this, let alone as a set- once in a lifetime opportunity, so i had to take it in other news, this morning i spotted this downtown!!!! (pic 2)

got a sealed copy of this 1968 verve lp today, im checking it out. there is moog, tape manipulation, lots of hubart laws on flute. and all these little instrumental interludes between the main tracks, which are pop tunes. its kind of like a real late period space age bachelor pad style lp, but it has that late 60s pop jazz sound, like those lps on A&M of the same time.... oh and side two has larry coryell on guitar on a track, and on another, he plays 'electric sitar'
