I did manage to get the answer to the leaking mouthpiece. The clamp that holds the reed in place on the mouthpiece was not tightening. When George blew into his mouthpiece the reed didn't have a tight seal and thus it would just product air. That is the leaking mouthpiece. Wouldn't it be better to have a mouthpiece where the clamp is all one piece? The only reason I can see why not wouId be changing reeds on the fly during a tune may not be as easy as the clamp being separate component.

Wow, I didn't get Howard McGhee on #2. I have this CD. I guess I have to revisit it.

Study excursions with Professor Zak..... The cover just needs a load of bread hanging out of his bag.

Not reading the other relies yet. I am Mr. Led ears. 01. Guessing here. Fats Waller? 02. Could this be Gene Ammons? I have no idea who is playing trumpet. 03. Like this one a lot, but I don’t know who any of the musicians are. 04. I like this but don’t have a clue with my led ears. 05. Dizzy’s big band? I try to listen to Caravan on Allmusic to find the answer. There are too many recordings. 06. I like this one too. I wish I knew. 07. No idea L 08. Another solo piano. I wish I knew. 09. Is this AEC? 10. I like this. Once I find out who this is I will have to buy this. 11. Another one I am clueless. 12. Can’t say I know this one. 13. Moments notice. McCoy Tyner?

It has been here before.

Happy Birthday.

We all knew it was coming. Regardless, it is a sad day. Thank Mr. King for all the music. May you rest in peace.

Happy Birthday.

I was lucky to get a front row seat for Friday's concert. I bought my ticket when they went on sale. Anyone else here attend the shows at Lincoln Center?

Stephen Foster. I bought a used CD of his music on Amazon. What a great composer. I particularly like "Nely Was a Lady" and "No One To Love."

Today marks the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII in Europe. May we never have another.

Happy Birthday.

Thanks.

Jimmy Cobb is on drums, but who's the bass player? I have no clue.
