I've never run across a copy of Cry Young or The Bright, the Blue and the Beautiful.

A hiatus? He released 15 albums from 1960-68. 1960 Happy Moods Argo Trio, with Israel Crosby (bass), Vernel Fournier (drums) 1960 Listen to the Ahmad Jamal Quintet Argo Quintet, with Ray Crawford (guitar), Joe Kennedy (violin), Israel Crosby (bass), Vernel Fournier (drums) 1961 All of You Argo Trio, with Israel Crosby (bass), Vernel Fournier (drums); in concert 1961 Ahmad Jamal's Alhambra Argo Trio, with Israel Crosby (bass), Vernel Fournier (drums); in concert 1961 Ahmad Jamal at the Blackhawk Argo Trio, with Israel Crosby (bass), Vernel Fournier (drums); in concert 1962 Macanudo Argo With Art Davis (bass), orchestra 1964 Naked City Theme Argo Trio, with Jamil Nasser (bass), Chuck Lampkin (drums); in concert 1965 The Roar of the Greasepaint Argo Trio, with Jamil Nasser (bass), Chuck Lampkin (drums) 1965 Extensions Argo Trio, with Jamil Nasser (bass), Vernel Fournier (drums) 1965 Rhapsody Cadet With Jamil Nasser (bass), Vernel Fournier (drums), orchestra 1966 Heat Wave Cadet Trio, with Jamil Nasser (bass), Frank Gant (drums) 1967 Cry Young Cadet With Jamil Nasser (bass), Frank Gant (drums), choir 1968 The Bright, the Blue and the Beautiful Cadet With Jamil Nasser (bass), Frank Gant (drums), choir 1968 Tranquility ABC With Jamil Nasser (bass), Frank Gant (drums) 1968 Ahmad Jamal at the Top: Poinciana Revisited Impulse!

The most obnoxious posters are the most pseudo-knowledgeable and the least thought provoking.

Finally received a shipping notice.

He's a major jazz musician, not a minor one. The place to start is the Mosaic set, or to put your toe in the water first, Cross-Country Tour. He's also still alive and producing excellent recordings at an advanced age (currently 89). For example, Ballades (solo and duo) from 2019 and Marseille from 2016.

Palo Alto is the first of a series of joint releases to come over the next five years from Impulse! Records in conjunction with the Monk estate’s Rhythm-A-Ning Entertainment, which is led by T.S. Monk. We hope!

13 here.

Omer Avital, Qantar: New York Paradox (Jazz & People)

I should have just left the email alone. Lynch, which technically refers to a mob killing and which in the rest of the world may not be race specific but in the United State has taken on a racial meaning. See the linked story of the last lynching in Dallas, occurring in 1910. There was even a postcard of the event. https://timeline.com/allen-brooks-dallas-lynching-4fc9132ee422

You cannot have too much Ellington. It's a mathematical impossibility.

He used a rather racially insensitive reference to killing him which he shortly later apologized for in a follow up email, so I deleted it from my paste.

The SmallsLIVE Foundation Newsletter 6/16/20 Dear Friends: Yesterday was 90 days since our clubs have been closed. We had to lay off all of our employees and have now cancelled 450 bands - we had programmed 5 bands a day between both clubs. Yes, we have gotten some funding (the PPP loan) but it's been 8 weeks already and have used it up on the payroll and other expenses. New York is a strange place these days. Some are still quarantined and others are partying in the streets as bars are allowed to sell in paper cups. There is no clear information on the reopening and things feel chaotic. There doesn't seem to be any communication between landlords and businesses and everyone is at odds. For us at Smalls, we are biding our time. Thanks to the strength of our grassroots support (which is you guys), our international jazz fans and the brave musicians who have agreed to stream from the clubs, we are surviving. Our campaign to "get the cats working again" has been successful enough to fund through July and well into August. This means we can pay one band per day to perform and to pay the rent. For the musicians, I can say that the chance to walk into Smalls, rehearse and do a concert is cathartic. Even though the club is closed to the public, the spirits and ghosts still dwell there. The vibe is still strong and the energy is there, waiting to be tapped. The response to our live shows has been amazing. We average about 20K views per show and the comments and emails have been gracious, grateful and ecstatic. People need music and need jazz - this is clear. I see that many clubs are now streaming live. Even the venerable Village Vanguard has started a live stream. I find it amusing that 12 years ago when we first started our live stream, musicians were ready to . Even up to the covid disaster I still had musicians who refused to play at Smalls because of the live stream. Now it is our lifeline and the one thing that's keep us in the game. Also, our extensive audio/video archive is a piece of history. More than 18,000 recordings representing more than 4000 musicians. Nothing like it exists in jazz history. Supporting members ($10 year minimum donation) can access this archive and we pay royalties to the artists. If you would like to fund an evening of music at the club, email us at foundation@smallslive.com. I thank everyone for their concern and support. We will prevail here, it's just a matter of time. Our music is too strong to die and the people that love it are dedicated and passionate. I look forward to the day when I can (safely) shake your hand, welcome you to the club and offer you a drink at our bar.
