Tutu Jones at Tolbert's in Grapevine. A restaurant with a live music stage in "historic" Grapevine and a meager crowd--nonetheless a superb performance by a Texas blues master.

Happy Birthday.

KRTU 40th Anniversary Concert Date: Oct 7 2016 - 7:00pm Location: Laurie Auditorium, Trinity University KRTU Celebrates 40 Years of Broadcasting and Expansion with Concert Join Trinity University’s KRTU 91.7 FM in celebrating an important moment in San Antonio’s history as the community-supported radio station expands its broadcast signal! At the KRTU 40th Anniversary Concert on Friday, October 7, 2016 at 7 p.m., KRTU will “flip the switch” and go live with the significantly stronger 91.7 FM, reaching beyond the 1604 loop into the Hill Country. Legendary saxophonist Benny Golson will grace the stage of Laurie Auditorium in Trinity University’s Richardson Communications Center for the concert, which is open to the public with free tickets available in advance for a suggested donation to the non-profit radio station. At age eighty-seven, the NEA Jazz Master Benny Golson is one of the last surviving links to the Golden Age of modern jazz, ushered in by the likes of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell and others in the early 1940s. Having recorded over 30 albums and written more than 300 compositions, Golson has made major contributions to the world of jazz with such standards as “Killer Joe” and “Whisper Not.” The concert will open with a performance by Henry Brun & The Latin Playerz, an internationally touring ensemble led by Grammy Award-winning percussionist Henry Brun. Witness history as KRTU 91.7 FM launches its newly expanded broadcast signal at the KRTU 40th Anniversary Concert, enlarging its reach from 549 square miles to 3059 square miles with an increase in signal strength from 8,900 watts to 32,000 watts. The “KRTU Tower Initiative” will ensure the radio station’s ability to reach the rapidly expanding population of the community it serves. Financed with support from Trinity University and individual donors, donations received during the concert will go directly toward the KRTU Tower Initiative. KRTU is a FCC-licensed non-commercial, educational radio station (NCE) broadcasting from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, KRTU is community-supported through individual donations from listeners and underwriting from local businesses and organizations. In 2002, KRTU transitioned to jazz as its primary format, and is one of only 52 FCC-licensed jazz radio stations in the country. Since 1976 when it was founded by Trinity University students, KRTU has provided programming that is educational, engaging, innovative, and most importantly, a reflection of the community from which it broadcasts. The KRTU 40th Anniversary Concert is sponsored by Palo Santo Records of Dallas, Texas.

The Montgomery Brothers and Five Others (World Pacific). This one does not appear to have been reissued on CD, despite the presence of Wes Montgomery; it should be.

Most of us are obsolete now and are in the process of being recycled.

The new alternate take of "Tune X" is great.

One thing I have noticed in searching locally for many years for vintage jazz LPs--'50s-'60s era Savoys very rarely turn up. They seem to be the least common independent jazz label to be found in this area (Dallas), in my experience anyway. Was their distribution worse than Prestige or Blue Note or Contemporary or Pacific Jazz? Does anyone on the board have a substantial collection of vintage Savoy pressings?

A very interesting listening project. I have almost all of this material in LP and/or CD form (no Faye Adams or Jimmy Grissom though), but acquired over many years in random order; it sounds worthwhile to listen to it all in short order..

Keith Jarrett, Mysteries (Impulse) and Shades (Impulse)

That was the first time I was in New York as an adult, on a work trip but with a couple of free evenings--first, to the Village Vanguard to see George Coleman, the next night to Lush Life for Bobby Hutcherson--Fantastic!

I actually went to Lush Life once (1983 or 1984) --Bobby Hutcherson was performing. Do you recall where that club was located?
