It seems I was lucky to see him perform live on five occasions. The best was at Smalls, backed by an excellent trio of Italian jazz musicians. 1987: George Gruntz Concert Jazz Band at Caravan of Dreams 1999: with Ted Brown, Earl May at Birdland 2007: Guest appearance with Frank Morgan at Jazz Standard 2008: With Marco Di Gennaro Trio at Smalls. 2017: Quartet with Dan Tepfer on piano, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

Thanks for the lovely gift.

Another Sun Ra reissue, on Modern Harmonic--Celestial Love, the final studio recording release on the Saturn label, from 1982. This is a very pleasing, balanced and cohesive album, featuring a twelve piece band, the usual amazing John Gilmore solos, five Sun Ra compositions, two of which are present in their only known recording, two Ellington compositions, and two standards.

I have a 1960s era Jazz Heritage mono reissue on Decca for Jimmy Lunceford, Rhythm is our Business, Volume 1. While most of this series of reissues that I run across seem to be in simulated stereo, there are less common mono versions. The mono reissues in this series, including this one, sound great.

You might want to try the Tone Poet reissue of volume 2 of Joe Henderson at the VV; it sounds amazing/ with you are there sound.

Actually, the Village Vanguard, if you actually go to hear music there, sounds great. The sound is perfectly balanced. You can hear from any seat in the house. It is fabulous.

Ha ha. Jackie Venson is a pretty young woman from Austin. She went to Berklee as a Classical pianist and switched to guitar in her last year. That was nine years ago. She's a hybrid rock/blues/soul player. Amazing guitar player (plays a custom Gibson Les Paul made for her in their Nashville factory), terrific voice, and writes excellent songs. Not a jazz player to my knowledge. She's out of my usual areas of interest, but I stumbled across her when I went to see Vieux Farka Toure in Houston last year; she was the opening act, playing guitar and singing, using a sampler to back herself up (she plays all the instruments). I liked her immediately, and then even more when she joined Vieux Farka Toure onstage during his set. Now, every night from her house in Austin she plays a one hour live concert; plays some of her own songs solo and with sampler backup--then she does remixes of her own songs, jamming on guitar. Turning her up to 11 every night.

Every night at 9:30 CST, Jackie Venson on facebook live. Highlight of the day without fail.

The studio recording of Senor Carlos was on a rare somewhat commercially oriented McCoy Tyner recording, but I recall hearing thrilling versions of the composition live.

The best sources of his playing in his later years are his recordings as pianist of the Avery Sharpe Trio

I saw play as a leader a couple of times; he was excellent.

This was one of the first jazz records I ever purchased, probably in 1974. An unpretentious, pleasing record.

Dave Brubeck, The Last Set at Newport (Atlantic) Lester Young, Jammin' the Blues/Apollo Theater (Jazz Anthology)

Gene Krupa, Sing Sing Sing (Clef)

He does not sound like he has only two solos to me.

Well, there isn't exactly a booming jazz scene here. But I would say that the two best tenor saxophonists in the area that I'm familiar with are Rachella Parks Washington (in Fort Worth) and Shelley Carrol (in Dallas), and both sound like Texas tenors to me (especially Rachella).

David Newman and James Clay, The Sound of the Wide Open Spaces (Riverside) The Definitive Jazz Scene, volume 2 (Impulse)
