1950’s listening booths for jazz records. how popular were places like this? Were these booths in just about all record stores? I’m guessing that the records were not sealed.

RIP.

Verve Announces Posthumous Jimmy Heath Album, ‘Love Letter’ Verve recently announced the release of saxophonist Jimmy Heath’s final recording, an album completed just one month prior to his Jan. 19 death at the age of 93. Love Letter, a collection of ballads that spans covers like “Con Alma” and Heath originals, counts contributions by trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, pianist Kenny Barron, guitarist Russell Malone, drummer Lewis Nash, as well as vocalists Gregory Porter and Cécile McLorin Salvant. For the album, the bandleader mainly sticks to alto, picking up the soprano saxophone for “Inside Your Heart,” a piece originating in a 2010 suite Heath recorded with the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra. https://downbeat.com/news/detail/posthumous-jimmy-heath-album-announced?fbclid=IwAR1FLAz6u6EhK1c-BJ7ZlmwMi7SVcZRCmbboCggK9ARhz8qnB40dc21dVZU

93 and he can still belt out a tune. This was recorded in his living room.

One of the all time best. Happy Birthday, Kenny.

He's way under recorded. He did for sometime seem to disappear. So maybe he himself had something to do with it.

He's 92 today. All the best Freddie. I'm listening to his last session right now from 2016, "With Due Respect."

Sad day. He will be missed. A great drummer has been silenced. RIP Jimmy. Thoughts with you and your family.

No. It was on Tony's Facebook page

I have this Elvin Jones album and it has the ABC logo on the album cover and vinyl. Did ABC acquire Impulse at some point in time?

Odell Brown. Just finished this one. Now listening to

Really? Maybe that's why the best price I can find is 55 dollars for the vinyl.

Here's one that I am looking for. I don't think it ever made it to CD. Larry Young "The Magician."

RIP.

Just heard blues musician Lucky Peterson has died. I saw him once and he out on a great show. Thoughts with him and his family.

Wow wow wow wow!!! Wow wow wow wow!!!

yes. I did pick up a copy.

Jerry Stiller has died at 92. He was a very funny guy. "Happy Festivus." http://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/jerry-stiller-seinfeld-and-hairspray-actor-and-comedian-dies-at-92/ar-BB13TBMw?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=DELLDHP17

Early rock performer Little Richard has died at the age of 87. Rest in peace thanks for the music.

Wes Montgomery's "Full House". This was around 1976, shortly after I started to play guitar. I was blown away by his playing. I still am 44 years later.

Plus, the quality isn't all that great. Very grainy. The Sonny Rollins concert from B.B. King's has a lot of frames freezing. I though it was my internet, but I watched it additional times with the same issues.

I believe I may have been at this show. I recall seeing the two at the Blue Note in the late 90's.
