kh1958

I heard the tail end of the Peter Bernstein solo performance, that was pretty nice. Now, Ari Hoenig returns to Monday night, with Tivon Penicott on tenor, and Shai Maestro on piano.

Ole Coltrane (Atlantic mono)

Buddy Guy at the Bedford Blues Festival. Feels LIke Rain never sounded better than when played during an actual light rain, cooling off the brutal heat.

Ornette Coleman, Ornette! (Atlantic mono). An insert card says you get a free copy of Ornette! with your subscription to downbeat.

These are in Today's Sunday New York Times Magazine.

Open Sesame.

Jackie McLean, Jackie's Bag (Blue Note, King pressing)

Coltrane Plays the Blues (Atlantic mono)

Your timing is a bit off: http://www.bluenote.net/newyork/schedule/moreinfo.cgi?id=11424 (Kenny G at the Blue Note, October 17-20).

I think the most comprehensive single source is New York City Jazz Record. But it's published on a monthly basis, so you are a little early. http://nycjazzrecord.com This site collects links to most of the club websites. http://bigapplejazz.com

Fine thanks, and received the Earl Hines and Woody Shaw Mosaic sets as gifts.

It was the best of times... Thanks very much for the birthday wishes. Would you like a handbag Oprah?

His newest one. Live at Smalls, is good.

Not only is it hot, but Oprah is going to be just a block from my office tomorrow.

Thanks very much!

John Gilmore's solo on Dancing Shadows is a personal favorite.

This sure was an excellent recommendation. Analog Africa has another compilation coming out in a few weeks, Afro-Beat Airways, volume 2. http://soundcolourvibration.com/2013/08/10/analog-africa-afrobeat-airwaves-2/

Eric Dolphy in Europe, Volume 1 (Prestige, blue label mono), and The Charlie Parker Story No. 3 (Verve).

Fats Navarro, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis--Trumpet Giants (Prestige/New Jazz mono). Cedar Walton--The Electric Boogaloo Song (Prestige)

Have a merry birthday!

It was a thrill seeing Cedar Walton at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival with the Timeless All Stars, and seeing him at the Caravan of Dreams playing with David Newman.
