  1. She had had pneumonia a number of times in the past she told me.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.”
  4. Happy 85th George.
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. I only recently discovered her. Nice guitarist. RIP.
  9. 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.
  10. The valves are so far apart. How would someone play this?
  11. 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.
  12. Sorry for you loss.
  13. 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.
  14. Looks like the film is finally getting released.
  15. Baby Dodds, Pops Foster, Louis Armstrong and Rudi Blesh, but who is the guitarist?
  16. Pianist Julius Rodriguez. Anyone else hear of him? After a few highly talented jazz musicians said this man can play, and he will make a big impact to the music, I checked this out this YouTube concert.
  17. I like what he has for place of employment.
  18. Wow, too young. RIP Lyle.
  19. A real fine actor. A real long life. RIP. Spartacus and Lust For Life were my two favorite film with him.
  20. G Sonny and Gary Bartz sure look similar in these photos.
  21. I like this photo.
  22. Here is George working on his mouth piece and reed.
