kh1958

One of my favorites--it seems I was fortunate enough to see him live eight times, but never in the city where I live.

The small group Pablo releases featuring Basie, which I ignored at the time, have proven to be a bountiful treasure. Thanks once again, Norman Granz, for capturing it on record.

Johnny Lytle, The Sound of Velvet Soul (Solid State) Chick Corea, Miroslav Vitous, Roy Haynes, Trio Music (ECM_ Solo/Quartet on Contemporary and all of the Landmark releases are better choices.

Oops I bought it already. Sound is generally good (mono); Gary Burton is a slight bit loud relative to Stan Getz at times in the mix.

I believe the label name is The Lost Reoordings. www.thelostrecordings.store Sony is listed as distributer. Made in the EU and seems to be of French origin.

Recently I've been up in the Colony a few times. Really dislike the area. Very overcrowded. Insane speeding aggressive drivers. Strip malls and chain restuarants and stores everywhere. Suburbia and freeway nightmare.

Actually, I just checked after entertaining the thought of going, and both nights are sold out.

It appears to be a new place, so they may not know any better.

One should only make a cancelable hotel reservation that does not require prepayment. From Dallas by air, American Airlines is the only option, so a one-sided policy is a guarantee. The opinion of someone for every music festival in the World.

Richard Groove Holmes and Ernie Watts, Come Together (World Pacific) Keith Jarrett, Bremen-Lausanne Solo Concerts (ECM) 70s reissue/Conn CD/Tone Poet here. Only 3.

I saw him live one time at Sweet Basil in 1997.

Found an original pressing of Got a Good Thing Goin' in the cut-out bin of a department store back in the 1970s.

The Tone Poet All Seeing Eye sounds fabulous; much better than my blue 1970s era pressing.

The wonderful live music bar in New York City, the 55 Bar, is in danger of closing. Here is their GoFundMe campaign. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-keep-the-55-bar-alive Adored by patrons and musicians alike, 55 Bar is utterly unique in the New York City music scene; an unfussy, inexpensive, dive bar where audiences can watch some of the world’s best jazz and blues musicians from ten feet away. It’s a club where brilliant newcomers can launch their careers and seasoned professionals can workshop new compositions before going out on the road. Regulars include Mike Stern, Leni Stern, Wayne Krantz, David Binney, Adam Rogers, Henry Hey, Keith Carlock, Tim Lefebvre, KJ Denhert, Sweet Georgia Brown, Tessa Souter, Kendra Shank, Ayana Lowe, Duchess, Thana Alexa, Nicole Zuraitis, Ben Monder, Jim Ridl, Jim Campilongo and many, many more. Now, in an all too familiar story, this iconic venue is in danger of closing; however... 55 Bar is savable. The numbers are perhaps too big for the 55 Bar to handle alone, but completely achievable through a wider effort. To that end, we appreciate any and all donations and thank you kindly for reading, for sharing, and for your support over the years. We are all excited to continue the dream of supporting and keeping accessible...great music and incredibly talented musicians!
