It was reported on several Facebook pages. I enjoyed the sessions he played on with Woody Shaw.

What a great ball player. RIP Al.

Last summer I bought 4 CD's used at a yard sale by Arthur Prysock. All four are on Verve. Why wouldn't a label such as Verve know who played on the session? You would believe this would be tracked.

Yeah. Also both did recordings in the 70’s and 80’s on Pablo records and jazz festivals at Montreux where they both appeared. .

I don't believe so. I've collected everything recording by Joe Pass, as least I think I have, and I don't have anything with Sonny Stitt.

Oh no. The virus jumped species again. https://www.thedailybeast.com/tiger-in-bronx-zoo-tests-positive-for-covid-19?source=facebook&via=mobile&fbclid=IwAR3AsiEJLtyljv5AQOKr4ePN7Ws9WHfLFJFN-ObIetOaPseGkk2_z4loxbo

An article in Smithsonian Magazine. Pianist and educator Ellis Marsalis Jr., trumpeter Wallace Roney, and guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli succumbed to complications caused by the novel coronavirus https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/covid-19-claims-lives-three-jazz-greats-180974574/

This certainly has been a bad time. Too many deaths. RIP Mr. Withers. Thoughts with you and your family.

I was just listening to one of Dizzy's last sessions, "To Bird With Love." He had a number top musicians on this record. I really enjoy it. It is a live concert recording of high quality. Telarc puts out a lot of classical recordings, but their jazz releases are just as good. What are some others like?

It's been a busy week with the deaths of musicians. RIP, Bucky. Thanks for all the music and your military service in WWII. Thoughts with your family.

This is getting to be too surreal. R.I.P., Ellis. Thoughts with the Marsalis family.

No Russian interference here.

I’ve been telecommuting ever since post 9/11. My work involves the stock market and all the money banks invest. I’ve been extremely busy as a result of the volume of the markets. this pandemic isn’t going to go away anytime soon. China had started to lighten up the restrictions. Today china reported 1300 new cases. That’s just one day. A vaccines is going to be needed to eliminate this surreal nightmare.

Why can't the whole world be like Sonny?

Amazing young man.

Alex Layne played in George Braith's band. I just read on Alvin Queen's and Gary Bartz's Facebook pages he died yesterday. 80 years old. My exposure to him was when I went to see Geroge Braith live a few times.

Here's a schedule of some live streams coming up. https://www.livefromourlivingrooms.com/schedule

Gosh, another loss. RIP Wallace. Thanks for the music.

My list sorted by album title. I have over 30 fields.

RIP, Manu. Thiughts to you and your family.

Another loss. RIP, Ray.

I've concerted my entire collection to my PC and store each CD/Album on to external drives. I have a backup of each drive. I had one die and I had to redo a ton. While redoing it, my CD-ROM drive died. I am using iTunes to track everything. I keep a quite a bit of information, besides session and musician/Band. I can then export a report to MS Excel. I can sort on various fields.

This is sad. I will seeing him live. Prayers to him and his family.

A bidet helps to save in toilet paper.

Here is an article on this concert. IT was in Detroit , Cobo Hall February 1967. There's no mention of George Coleman. I guess it could be Rouse. http://vancouverjazz.com/2016/02/jazz-notes-john-coltrane-thelonious-monk-cobo-hall-1967.html
