Why don't you ask Sonny? I'm sure he'd be ultra-pleased to answer your question. I will. I did ask on his website.

I'll listen to it again tonight to see if I can figure who it is.

Yes

Houston Person Dean Person Dean Martin

My recording is just a 46 minute version "Poinciana." I have the recording you mentioned, but I believe it was from Ronnie Scott's club. Tony Oxley was the house drummer at Ronnie Scott's in 1967.

In 1967 Sonny played a series of gigs at Club 43, in Manchester, England. He played with local musicians. I have a recording for one of these gigs, but the piano player is unknown. Anyone familiar with who was on the scene in mid 1960s that would have been playing at Club 43? Sonny Rollins- tenor sax, Alan Cooper- bass, R. Cary- drums Unknown- pianist.

I've met Miles Davis' grave in the Bronx. Woodlawn Cemetery. His tombstone has line on music in common time, but only three beats in the measure.

if I ever open a jazz club, the name will be "Woodshed."

75 and going strong. Happy birthday Charles.

Something I've heard his band play sounded like this track.

It is Louis Jordan on #2?

I haven't read anyone's comments yet, but this BFT is really stumping me. So far I thinnk I have the first track. Track 1 This Is Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. I have all Blakey's records but I can't find this one. I wonder if it is one I don't have. Track 2 Sounds like Louis Jordan and his band. Track 3 No clue yet Track 4 Oscar Pettiford's "Blues in the Closet." I don't know who this is on trumpet. Could it be Howard McGhee? Pianist I have no clue either. Track 5 I really like the changes to this one, but I have no clue who this is. Track 6 This sounds like the Texan, "Arnett Cobb." I love Cobb's tone. If it's not Cobb, then it is his lost twin Track 7 I like this. No guesses at the moment. Track 8 Sounds like something that would have been put out by Blue Note in the 60s with Grant Green, Lou Donaldson and Baby Face Willette. I don't know who it is, but I am going to buy this once I find out. Track 9 Stumped. Track 10 No idea Track 11 Can't say I have any idea who the tenor player is, let along the pianist. It not Sonny Stitt? Stitt played better. Track 12, "I'm Beginning to See the Light." I have this recording, I know I do, but I can't recall who the hell it is on piano. His grunts on this one is what is familiar to me. Track 13. "Old Devil Moon" I want to say Brubeck. When I saw Brubeck at the Blue Note in NYC 5 years ago he played this. Track 14 Although not Gene Harris, I see this person did some listening to Gene. Track 15 "Lullaby Of The Leaves." Is this Von Freeman? Track 16 no clue After I receive my failing grade, I will go back and listen again.

Many more Roy.

August 29, 1920 - March 12, 1955. I've been playing nothing but Charlie Parker today. Bird Lives!!!

THe Solo Concert.

Amen to that.

On the advice of his doctor, Sonny Rollins has postponed his touring schedule till June do to a respiratory problem. I do hope all is well. The world needs a Sonny Rollins in it. Get well quick, Sonny! http://www.sonnyrollins.com/

Damn!!!. RIP Melvin. Thanks for the music you left us.

"People, Hell and Angels" I like this better than the original version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFjuS5zeg3A

I was ten but I had these on vinyl at some point, most likely later. I only have two today on CD, Wings and Yes. Quadrophenia - The Who Catch a Fire - Bob Marley Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd Band on the Run - Wings Tales of Topographic Oceans - Yes Coundown to Ecstasy - Steely Dan

Happy Birthday Big Al.

I pick a copy up Wednesday at the Dexter Gordon tribute. I haven't listened yet, and after hear the two comments giving praise, I will have get around to listening to this real soon.

I guess you can look the planet as a living entity, and all the creatures living on the planet as cells in the entity. Human would be cancer cells. The planet will cut us out at some point. I know when I get a 6 pack of soda I always cut the plastic so there is no chance some animal gets stuck like the turtle in the photo.

This is from a radio broadcast. Me too on the Fortune. Where is that Renee Rosnes available, is that on CD? Would like to pick it up if so. I recorded this from the radio.
