My only opportunity was a two night engagement at the Caravan of Dreams in Fort Worth, May 10-11, 1985. Naturally I went both nights and heard four sets. Terence Blanchard was the musical director, with Mulgrew Miller, Lonnie Plaxico, Donald Harrison, and Jean Toussaint. On Saturday night, Marchel Ivery joined the group towards the end of the second set. Two weeks before this, I heard Sphere at the Caravan, and then a couple of weeks afterwards, Horace Silver. About the same time, also Miles Davis at a theater in Dallas.

Fred McDowell, You Gotta Move (Arhoolie)

Eddie Costa-Vinnie Burke Trio (Jubilee)

Eddie Harris, A Study in Jazz (Vee Jay) Yes, I was a bit surprised when I picked this up at the record store recently and looked at the brief notes on the back and it referenced Mingus, Fats Navarro, and Wes Montgomery. Also, Leo "the Whistler" Shepard on trumpet is, I assume, the man playing the high note trumpet to rival Cat Anderson. Pretty good sound too.

The documentary The Festival, covering the Newport Folk Festival from 1963-1966, from the Criterion Collection. The performances included are short/edited/fragmentary, but there is some great stuff to see (Son House, Mississippi John Hurt, Fred McDowell, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, John Lee Hooker (bonus material), the Butterfield Blues Band, with and without Dylan, Odetta). There is also plenty of folk as one might expect (Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Peter Paul and Mary, etc.), acoustic and electric Dylan, gospel and country (Johnny Cash). A pretty fun viewing experience, overall, and an interesting cultural snapshot of popularity of folk music in the early 1960s.
