Happy holidays to all. Stay safe and healthy.

Which two board members will do he test of strength and wrestle each other?

I wonder how many times this has happened to someone?

I would love to get a listen to these broadcasts. I have those that were issued as well as a few that trade amongst collectors.

There more for sure. It was a very bad year https://www.npr.org/2020/12/16/947111849/in-memoriam-jazz-night-in-america-remembers-10-musicians-who-altered-shape-of-ja?fbclid=IwAR1aXADtL3m_0MU1NsptL42N-ckwCt_bP1bUqKi7fGurXfc4tGud2g8gTDE

Stanley showing some other big time pianists pointers at the Vanguard. Jason, Fred and Ethan soaking up every bit of it. All three are so immersed in the moment.

His daughter, Sunny, posted on her Facebook page, he was getting treatment fir cancer when he went into shock.

What a horrible year. This is bad news indeed. I was just the other day playing his "Beautiful Friendship" CD with James Morrison. RIP, Jeff. 65 is too young.

695 months

This is really bad news. Rest in peace

Happy Birthday, Barry Harris. 91 years old today.

This isn't a tenor or alto. Could it be a soprano sax?

This is due out in February. https://pitchfork.com/news/archie-shepp-and-jason-moran-announce-new-album-let-my-people-go/?fbclid=IwAR3-wlRQfC6NtroDMbRBBJ4CDBQLPjJ35tJZzY04LKmfFz4VCRZLSLVhnZs

Country music legend, Charley Pride has died from Covid-19. He had a very good voice. RIP.

The music sounds real good through that old unit of yours.

One of the iterations of this release, contains the unissued track which is listed in the Blue Note discography. I can't fine any place selling it. 10 minute blues with Lou and Grant is worth getting a third copy of this session. Does anyone here have this release of Here 'Tis? https://www.discogs.com/Lou-Donaldson-Here-Tis-/release/14145120

RIP, Ron. another one gone in a already bad year.

Thanks for share this.

The pandemic has claimed another casualty. The Jazz Standard could not survive the tumultuous time we’re living in this year. Dear Jazz Standard Community, It is with great sadness that USHG shares that Jazz Standard and Blue Smoke Flatiron will not be reopening on 27th Street. We have explored every avenue to arrive at a different outcome, but due to the pandemic and months without revenue—as well as a lengthy rent negotiation that has come to a standstill—we’ve reached the disappointing conclusion that there is no alternative but to close Jazz Standard and Blue Smoke Flatiron. The current situation surrounding the pandemic, including the regulations for restaurants and live music make it impossible to maintain our quality and continue to “set the standard”. Almost two decades ago, Union Square Hospitality Group set out on a pioneering journey to marry authentic pit barbecue with great jazz in New York City with the opening of Jazz Standard and Blue Smoke in NYC’s Flatiron neighborhood. Every year since, it has been hailed by audiences and critics alike. We are proud to be part of the culture of a vibrant and thriving city. We became a fixture not only in New York’s jazz scene, but of the world’s. Our longevity can be credited to inimitable hospitality and staff, extraordinary musicians over the years, and our valued, supportive patrons. Although we are devastated by the closure, we are optimistic about the future and look forward to writing the next chapter of Jazz Standard. In the meantime, we continue to host exclusive artist interviews and virtual performances across our online platforms including a Facebook Live series co-presented with the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC). Please be sure to connect with us for the latest events and news on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Immense gratitude to our team members, our guests, and the city of New York for embracing Jazz Standard. We value your support more than you can ever know and look forward to reuniting again with some Mingus and Merlot. - Your Family at Jazz Standard .

How do you like it?

Jazz tunes names after alcoholic beverages. Can you think of any? Eddie Harris - "Cold Duck Time."

RIP, Mr. White.

Although it’s a novel, I am really interested in the unissued Live recording that comes with the package. Any information on the recording?
