I never played the saxophone, but I would think this would not be an easy task playing without a strap. Is this common? Prez seems to be resting his arm on the chair.

Sad news. RIP, George.

Although he still was playing at the Blue Note pre-COVID, could it be he slowing down? At 96, why not slow down?

This is very exciting. I’m definitely going to order this one.

Sad. 61 is way young. Cancer is a horrible disease.

I meant OOP.

I like that feature. Also, some OOO sessions are on the streaming service. For example, Charles Kynard's "Your Mama Don't Dance" is there in vinyl. You can hear the pops of the record.

95 is a food long life. Thanks to him the jazz festivals were born. RIP Mr. Wein.

Some of Phil’s 78’s at WKCR. This is just small sample.

From the Washington Post. “My words are not that powerful. I started saying in 1985 I don’t think we should have a music talking about niggers and bitches and hoes. It had no impact. I’ve said it. I’ve repeated it. I still repeat it. To me that’s more damaging than a statue of Robert E. Lee.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2018/05/22/jazz-musician-wynton-marsalis-says-rap-and-hip-hop-are-more-damaging-than-a-statue-of-robert-e-lee/?fbclid=IwAR0Ntw7tB1CkTLY2Uv-gnkl6uDVBSshD8CJ2_3HtGwRElMMf-a7zpv3Ye5I

Thanks for sharing this.

Today I received this LP with Albert Dailey. I haven't listen to it yet. Anyone else have this?

Wow. Don't know what to say. R.I.P Jameel.

That's good to hear.

Ha.

Yes, all must be saved. There is too much historical music that would be a crime to see it in the dumpster.

It is with a heavy heart that WKCR mourns Phil Schaap, who passed away yesterday evening at the age of 70. For over 50 years, Phil has been an irreplaceable presence at the station. The mentorship that he has provided students as an educator has helped shape a new generation of jazz historians and appreciators, and his impact will be felt for decades to come. Phil was unquestionably a giant in the jazz community. This past year he was recognized as a Jazz Master by the National Endowment of the Arts, and throughout his distinguished career has been awarded six Grammys and numerous other honors. WKCR will continue airing rebroadcasts of Phil's programs during their usual times. Further details for an expanded tribute will be announced in the coming days on our website, wkcr.org

It's a sad day. Despite how anyone felt about him talking too much, he loved the music and beyond a doubt it is why WKCR still has jazz programming.

Another one from the Jazz Museum in Harlem. Cannonball and Jackie McLean on the left and right, but who is in the middle? Any idea?

Sonny is 91 today. Happy Birthday to him.
