I don't recall seeing Wayne with all grey hair. He appears to be hard at work.

I wish I could have seen this group.

Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday.

This thread is somewhat hostile. All I was after was the opinion of others on what they felt about O. P.'s playing.

RIP Mr. Terry.

To borrow a few words from a great American, "Can't we all just get along?"

I’ve seen mention here as well as other places on the web, where people state that they’re not big fans of Oscar Peterson. “He plays too many notes”, etc. Does he get a bad rap? After all, he’s performed and recorded with all the greats of Jazz, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster and many others. Norman Granz featured Oscar Peterson in his first jazz at the Philharmonic tours back in the late 40s. I don’t mind his playing. In fact I kind of like it. How about the rest of you here?

I saw Ray live back in October of this year with Barry Harris. Barry said while introducing him that “Ray hasn't performed or played much in the past year due to illness. Now he’s feeling better, expect to hear a lot more of him.”

Happy birthday

Nice photo.

Rice cakes taste like cardboard.

I have a recording of the Jimmy Smith Trio live on the BBC 1966-01-26. I did some googling but the content is not available in my country (US). Does anyone know if Jimmy Smith appeared on the program Jazz 625? I am trying to determine if this may be that program.

This is the first I've seen of this photo. I would guess it is from the 1970's.

Anyone know who is playing guitar and the two drummers might be?

Solo piano. A lot of the lower register on the piano. Randy's use of the left hand gives him his unique sound. It is a live recording too. I like it, but I enjoy every session Randy issued during his life.

Does anyone remember the commercial with Jon Hendricks? I remember seeing it back in the 80s. I don’t remember what product he was pitching. I want to say the commercial was for butter or margarine.

Thanks.

Yes, it appears to be a radio broadcast, but does anyone have this? I just came across this today. I've never new of it. https://archive.org/details/cd_tete-montoliu-chick-corea-victoria-gast_tete-montoliu-chick-corea
