Last night at the Eric Reed concert he mentioned a youtube clip someone put together of Buddy Rich tirades set to the tune "Cute." This is funny stuff. Buddy Rich did have a bit of a temper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4UYiXlKJro

Chuck Finley Charlie Brown Sally Brown

Jimmy Greene Beautiful Life. Celebration of his daughter's Ana's life. Very powerful two sets of music.

Eric Clapton Steve Windwood Rich Grech

I thought so too. Outside of the chords noted at the top bars not much else there.

Coltrane's sheet music to a Love Supreme.

There were a lot of musicians that left us this year. I want to make sure they all get remembered. Here are a few that come to mind. Horace Silver Joe Wilder Kenny Wheeler Frankie Dunlop

The JALC trumpet section paid some respect to Mr. Terry yesterday.

Happy Birthday.

Does anyone know how Kenny is doing? I haven't heard of him performing in a few years.

It's nearly a year since Jim Hall passed away. Today is his birthday.

I had made reservations for the first set tonight to catch Lou Donaldson, but Lou isn't feeling well and he will not be appearing at Dizzy's. Hope all is well with Lou. Send good vibes out to Lou Donaldson. * Due to medical complications, Lou Donaldson will not appear at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola this weekend. We will celebrate his incredible music with his band of over 20 years, Randy Johnston (guitar), Akiko Tsuruga (Hammond B-3 organ) and Fukushi Tainaka (drums), and featured soloists Jaleel Shaw (Thursday, Friday, Sunday) and Melissa Aldana (Thursday, Saturday, Sunday).
