I think Ornette Coleman is celebrating his 80th birthday today and not 79.

Also on March 8: Gabor Szabo, guitar, 1936. Anat Fort, piano, 1970.

This one looks interesting: Horace tapscott with Roberto Miranda (b),Everett Brown Jr (ds), Louis Spears (cello), Melvin Moore (vln). Any idea when this was recorded, Bentsy? Unfortunately not.

Also: Peter Brotzmann, tenor sax, 1941 Charles Tolliver , trumpet, 1942 How could we forget Flora Purim??? (vocal, 1942).

March 6: Wes Montgomery, guitar, 1923. Howard McGhee, trumpet, 1918.

Manchester United striker Michael Owen ruled out for rest of season. What a bad luck.

Also Wilbur Little, bass, 1928.

Also on March 4: Jason Marsalis, drummer, 1977. Bobby Shew, trumpet and flugelhorn, 1941.

You are right.

Yes. To the best of my knowledge, this is her first solo recording. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

"Flying Toward The Sound" will be released next week. Geri Allen is one of my favorite contemporary pianists and I'm really exited.

My favorite session is the one with Geri Allen.

According to several websites, Stan Kenton was born on December 15.

The Jazz Loft offers it for a relatively cheap price.
