Yes, live in Chicago in 1959 with Eddie Higgins, Bob Cranshaw, and Walter Perkins. Was excited to stumble across this record.

His website has a pretty extensive discography. https://luisperdomojazz.com/discography/blog/6156355/selected-discography

Jason Moran, From the Dancehall to the Battlefield (Yes)

In the early days of the band at the Time Cafe, Britt Woodman was on trombone. Did he ever sound great.

Luis Russell, AT the Swing Cats Ball, volume 1, 1938-1940 (Dot Time)

Art Farmer Quintet Plays the Great Jazz Hits (Columbia) Coleman Hawkins, Blowin' Up a Breeze (Spotlite)

Yes, I like his playing. The last time I saw him live was in 2019 in a group led by bassist Gregg August. I have this one on CD.

Cooper-Moore Two Distinct Concerts at Two of Houston's Great Cultural Centers Free of charge Solo with Hand-Crafted Instruments and Voice Sunday, March 5 at 6pm (doors open at 5:30) in the Courtyard at Project Row Houses 2521 Holman St. + Solo Piano Tuesday, March 7 8pm (doors open at 7:30) in the Gallery at DeLUXE Theater 3303 Lyons Ave. The work of Cooper-Moore is a testament to commitment, vision, compassion, and invention. Trained as the pianist of his family’s rural Virginian church at 12, community service was ingrained from the beginning. A working musician and composer, Cooper-Moore developed a method for teaching academic curriculum to 3 to 5 year-olds through music. Publishing this method, he traveled the country training Head Start teachers. His has been core figure as a pianist in New York’s free-jazz scene (first in the early 70’s, then again since 1985). But his artistry has also included music for theater, dance, and film. Cooper-Moore’s current performances encompass wide-ranging explorations on hand-made instruments, insightful storytelling, and virtuosic piano playing. He is an artist whose music embodies the urgency of the moment, and whose voice delivers plainspoken truth with unwavering intensity. In 2006 and 2008, Cooper-Moore came to Houston to work with children in Nameless Sound’s workshops, training Nameless Sound’s staff in his methods. Raising the bar for our own mission, he left an immeasurable influence on our organization.

Benny Carter and his record collection.

This evening, Shelley Carrol at the Kitchen Cafe.

If you like Michael Blake, this one is rather good (led by Kresten Osgood with Dr. Lonnie Smith): Hammond Rens

Milt Jackson, Soul Pioneers (Prestige)

Hank Mobley, Messages

Last night, my first trip to a dive bar since before COVID, with Tutu Jones and His Twisted Soul Band, at the Goat. Dallas' best active bluesman sounded great, playing a 75 minute set of instrumentals (with a single vocal exception).
