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. That's interesting! How would you have answered any questions about how you came across said recording? Sonny knows there are private recordings of him out there. All I asked was, in 1967, what playing at Club 43 in Manchester, who was playing piano. Oddly, my post on his guestbook page never made it there. I know he knows. He has also been known to stop their sale, as he did with the London gigs on Harkit. Well, I don't sell. I just happen to get a copy of this from someone.

The pianist was Stan Tracey. I asked someone that reached out to Bill Birch years ago.

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

Yes

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

Happy Birthday Big Al.
