Hardbopjazz

It could be a shot in the dark, but have you tried doing a searching on Linkedin or Facebook? I did a search on linkedin and found two people with the Hugh Denton name in Australia.

I just both a used copy of this. 25 UDS for all 10 CDs. I never heard of Squatty Roo Records before. They seem to focus on live recordings. Are they a legit label?

Anyone else seen this before?

Thanks.

Some amazing music to listen to on his website. https://www.jazzhistorydatabase.com/archives/gene-perla/index.php

Happy birthday George Benson. He turned 78 yesterday.

Yeah, I checked that list before. I have volumes up to 98 with gaps between some. Those missing volumes I've never seen, and makes me wonder do they actually exist. Example, I have volumes 70 to 76, but I could never find volumes 77 to 79. I have volumes 96 and 98, but none from 80 to 95. Here is a listing of volumes 26 through 157. If these exists, I've never seen any of the higher numbers for sale. https://drive.google.com/file/d/14IWFyhe2T22jSrRRZ_UKWfYCVikRiCo_/view?usp=sharing

Does anyone know the number of volumes in the Bird's Eyes releases?

Another one gone so early. R.I.P.

He has been composing an opera with Esperanza Spalding. I am eagerly waiting what this to be released or performed. Does anybody know more about this project?

This is sad. He was great composer. The last time I saw him I handed him one of his CDs to sign the insert. I handed him a pen that had A little flash light at the top. He said this is great. I told he could have the pen. He was a very humble person. Time to spin his music. RIP Mr. Redd.

Did anyone create mix tapes of jazz music back in the 1980’s? If yes, what did you include?

Happy 96 birthday Mr. Haynes.

Dr. Lonnie Smith with Iggy Pop. This is so greasy.

RIP, Mark.

The tenor master is 86 today. Here's to wishing you all the best and many more to come.

Too young. RIP, Ralph.

A very nice article from yesterday. https://www.jazzwise.com/features/article/sonny-rollins-interview-i-love-music-of-course-but-i-don-t-listen-any-more-it-s-too-frustrating-to-listen-to-music-when-i-can-t-participate

From Ed Cherry's Facebook page. Thelonious Monk passed away February 17 1982 I was in Dizzy’s band then, on the road somewhere in the mid-west ,southwest, I don’t remember... A small town hall situation, mostly people who’d never been to a jazz concert. Bob Redcross was our beloved road manager and Dizzy’s right hand man.. We were in the middle of the set when he called out to Dizzy that Monk had just died.. Dizzy just stopped the show, told the audience that ‘the master of our music’ Thelonious monk just passed away.. there were a few gasps in the audience.. Dizzy left the stage and went into a side dressing room and closed the door where we could hear him crying.. about 10 or 15 minutes later he came out and finished the show...if I remember correctly, we played “round midnight”....monk and dizzy were super close, I never met him but dizzy would mention him often, and even played piano in a similar style.. I guess they’re jamming with bird ,miles, bud ,Charlie Christian, and bob redcross...the conversation probably goes something like “ awww , you a lying’ motherf*****!! “ everyone screams with laughter... Rest in Power Mr. Monk

Jazz visionary Thelonious Monk, a musical maverick whose artistry and originality as composer and pianist made for him a permanent place wherever jazz is heard, died Wednesday in Englewood, N.J. at 64. “The Monk is dead,” a spokesman at Englewood Hospital announced shortly after the musician died at 8:10 a.m. Monk, who had not performed in public since the middle 1970s, suffered an apparent stroke Feb. 5 at his home in Weehawken, N.J. He was admitted to the hospital the same day. Doctors said his condition was complicated by hepatitis. Playing with and sparking exchanges of advanced musical ideas with giants such as saxophonist Charlie (Bird) Parker, guitarist Charlie Christian and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, the pianist was one of the inventors of the once controversial jazz form known as be-bop or simply bop. Hip hipsters called Monk “The High Priest of Be-bop.” Monk’s musical style was described as “unorthodox, ang https://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/archives/la-me-thelonious-monk-19820218-story.html I was in a music theory class in college when someone told the professor. He in turned told the class. Most of the class were members of the 802 music union and they knew who Monk was. I went to high school with someone who's mom was Monk's niece. I remember the band teacher had him try to get his mom to ask Monk to visit the school. She called, but Monk never came to the phone. That was in 1979. We all must, at some point today, play some Thelonious Monk in memory of the High Priest of Be-Bop.
