Arnett Cobb's "Funky Butt", which album cover was the original? My Japanese import CD has the photo one.

Glad she’s getting back to her old self. I had heart surgery when I was only 21 due to a virus and Rheumatic fever. Streptococcus made my heart like Swiss cheese. That was 36 years ago and I’m doing fine. Your wife will also be just fine.

Yet another session in a Facebook discussion by two bones players, Buster Cooper and Thurman Green ,that I've never heard about before. Anyone here heard this before and if yes, what's your thoughts? Is it worth tracking down a copy?

My bad, he is on the Onzy Matthews select.

With many musicians having downtime because of venues closed do to Covid 19, some are interacting with fans on Facebook. Eric Reed started a listening discussion. I've never heard of Roosevelt Wardell. Looking through my collection, I do have him on the Curtis Amy Mosaic Select. I can't even find much information about him. Anyone else know more about this pianist?

Beautiful statement.

a facebook contact Cyrille Stephan passed away last Friday. We shared (since 2014) a lot about photography, she had many jazz contacts at home and abroad and shared her opinion about the Royal House, politics (wrote for the Republican Society) and social themes ... a beautiful one nice person went .. RIP Cyrille Stephan!

From her Facebook page. Heel droevig nieuws, ik lees nu dat Facebook contact Cyrille Stephan is overleden. Ik heb haar nooit ontmoet, wist zelfs niet hoe zij er uitzag. We werden jaren geleden FB vrienden omdat we beiden fan van drummer Pierre Courbois waren. Een FB maatje gek van jazz, zoveel heb ik er niet. In de loop der jaren ging zij ook muziekstijlen waarderen waar ik mee bezig ben, waar zij aanvankelijk niets van moest hebben. Toch bijzonder hoe je iemand alleen virtueel kent en toch verbondenheid kan voelen door een gemeenschappelijke passie. Ik wist dat haar gezondheid niet goed was maar dit had ik totaal niet verwacht. Rust zacht Cyrille, het is vast swingtime in heaven. Very sad news, I now read that Facebook contact Cyrille Stephan passed away. I never met her, didn't even know what she looked like. We became FB friends years ago because we were both fans of drummer Pierre Courbois. An FB buddy crazy about jazz, I don't have that many. Over the years, she also started to appreciate music styles that I am working on, which she initially did not like. Still special how you only know someone virtually and still feel connected through a common passion. I knew that her health was not good, but I did not expect this at all. Rest in peace Cyrille, it must be swingtime in heaven. Helaas moet ik jullie melden dat een goede Facebook vriendin, Cyrille Stephan, afgelopen vrijdag om 07:30 overleden is ten gevolge van een longontsteking. (GEEN Corona virus!!!) RIP Cyrille, je hield zo waanzinnig veel van Jazz en je wist er ook heel veel over, vol met passie poste je allerlei dingen over de Jazz muziekanten, hun muziek, hun overlijdings berichten, van overal ter wereld, en maakte je deel uit van hun netwerk. Heel veel sterkte en courage voor haar man Maxim, die zo vriendelijk was om mij persoonlijk in te lichten. Dank u!

She had had pneumonia a number of times in the past she told me.

Fuck. I only spoke with her on the 9th of March. She had Pneumonia and was going to the hospital. I'm really sad by this news.

Singer and bassist Kenny Rogers has past last night at 82. I can’t seem to find any articles confirming this, but it was mentioned during a gig at Lincoln Center last night and a moment of silence for him, McCoy Tyner and Jimmy Heath was observed. He was on the charts a lot during the 70’s through the 90’s. Two tunes I recall that were played a lot, “She believes in me” and “The gambler.”

Happy 85th George.

Pat hasn’t been able to play since 2018 due to health issues. Go Fund me page. It doesn’t look good for another legend. https://www.gofundme.com/f/pat-martino-fund?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet

RIP Mr. Tyner. Thanks all the music you gave the world. You'll be missed, but your music will remain and your memory won't be forgotten.

The the George Coleman thread, it was mentioned that George is in the film Freejack. He plays a saxophone player. That's a stretch. Any other jazz musicians that have had cameos in movies. 'Round Midnight can be left off.

I only recently discovered her. Nice guitarist. RIP.

RIP, James.

It is free for iPhones. If you hear a tune and don't know who it is, Shazam will tell you and tell you what album the tune is from. Pretty amazing.

Glad she is doing well.

The valves are so far apart. How would someone play this?

I was working at 52nd street at Broadway. I would go the the Tower Records up by Columbus Circle. They use to get the TOCJ Blue Note Japanese imports. I loved perusing through the rows of jazz CDs.

Sorry for you loss.

Did anyone watch the Miles Davis episode on American Masters? I enjoyed it a lot. If you didn't catch it, check your PBS station for when it will be airing.

Looks like the film is finally getting released.

Baby Dodds, Pops Foster, Louis Armstrong and Rudi Blesh, but who is the guitarist?
