Correct on # 13 too.

You are good, Michael. This BFT may be over fairly quick. 10. This is Jimmy Heath. Still need the pianist. I rally think anyone would get Jimmy Heath. 11. This Is Charles Rouse, Tommy Flanagan, George and Kenny. 12. Yes, this is Wayne Shorter with the J@LC orchestra. I liked the arrangement that was done on this tune and decided to include it.

I hope all of you have no issues downloading or listening to the music online. The link to the zip file is in the sign-up thread. Here is the link once again http://thomkeith.com/BFT/bft135.html

Happy Birthday, Clint.

Yes, I recall Cyril mentioning this. RIP Hans.

A lot of good music here. Some I will need to dive into more. Freddie Slack and Dollar Brand are two I really enjoyed. I will look for these recordings.

Here is the download link. Thanks Thom Keith for setting this up. http://thomkeith.com/BFT/bft135.html

Snail mail is basically a slang for mailing through the postal system. That being a longer method to receive it, thus snail mail.

thanks getting it to embed.

I don't think this is legit. I've had these recording for several years. Your heading says the Village Vanguard. I got real excited. But the recordings are from the Village Gate.

Today on Bird Flight, Phil Schaap offered up the reason he was gone from the station for the past few weeks. He quit or early retirement was the reason. Since he doesn't get paid, he rather call it early retirement. The station was going to pull the plug on most to all jazz programing. Over the past week or two the station had an emergency fund raiser. After that ended there would be little to no jazz played on the station. I don't know who the program directory is these days, it was Ben Young, but as mentioned in this thread, he seems to be gone. As per Phil, he won, and jazz will remain on WKCR. We seem to knock on Phil, but there aren't many as passionate about jazz as him.

The 2015 Broadrway revival of this musical.

RIP Ron. I didn't know he was still alive.

Sonny Rollins Reflects on His Life, Career, and Goals, Both Musical and Spiritual "Legacy is the last thing I would ever want to think about. I want to do more." Sonny Rollins Looking every inch a silver-maned patriarch of Biblical grandeur, Sonny Rollins, the 84-year-old genius of the jazz tenor saxophone, was especially elated last weekend to receive an honorary doctor of music degree from the University of Hartford at graduation ceremonies on its West Hartford campus. Sure, the Grammy Award-winning Rollins probably already has a warehouse full of prestigious awards earned over his remarkable, nearly seven-decade career in which he has clearly established himself as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, most exultantly celebratory, thematic improviser in jazz history. Among Rollins’s countless coveted prizes is the Medal of Arts, the nation’s highest honor for artistic excellence, awarded to him personally by President Barack Obama in a ceremony at the White House....

"Years later after Sugar Hill, Jackie and I lived close to each other again down on the Lower East Side. In fact, Jackie even went up on the Williamsburg Bridge with me, at least once, maybe more,” Rollins said of when he practiced endless hours at night on the Williamsburg Bridge.

WTF? I thought paying 500 was a lot.

Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday

R.I.P. You made me laugh many times. Thanks.

RIP Marcus.
