I was stumped on many of these. I'm not ashamed to admit it.

My folks use to listen to the Andrew Sisters and the Mills Brothers all the time. RIP Patty. I'll have to go on Netflix and watch "Buck Privates."

I just discovered her. I have to say I enjoyed what I heard of her playing. Anyone else here familiar with her?

Wow, another one. R.I.P. Butch

I will post the link on Thursday.

Sometimes you may know a little about it from the word of mouth. Sometime the same players or organization have done them before and you know from past experiences whether it's worthwhile to give a listen. The Blue Note has done many with McCoy and others that I wouldn't go to, for example. All of these factors can give you a idea if the program is going to be worthwhile, or if it's going to be a thrown together set of players picking tunes on stage, playing with little real energy. There's going to be a Dexter Gordon Tribute coming up soon. Dexter's widow and manager Maxine Gordon is fully involved, and the musical director is George Cables. Sounds good. Some more on the Dexter tribute. In honor of what would have been the 90th Birthday of the legendary bebop tenor saxophonist and Academy Award nominee Dexter Gordon, an all-star crew of musicians celebrates his legacy by performing some of his favorite tunes and original compositions. Pianist George Cables, who performed and recorded with Gordon extensively, and drummer Victor Lewis, another Dexter alum, anchor a group that includes Jerry Weldon, Walter Blanding, Jr., Joe Locke, Dezron Douglas, and Brandon Lee. Join Michael Mwenso, the late night host at Dizzy’s, for a special listening session of Dexter Gordon’s recordings on Tuesday, February 26 at 6pm. Michael Cuscuna, Gordon’s Columbia Records producer, and pianist George Cables join.

Thanks. I will tune in to this.

This is great.

I will try to get to the Vanguard to see him. He is such a great tenor player. I need to see him as often as I can.

I'll give this a try, Sounds easy.

Recently I learned that just about all commercial breads bought in super markets contain L-cysteine, which comes from human hair harvested in China. L-cysteine, makes bread dough more elastic when stretching and kneading dough. I now make my own bread. http://www.naturalnews.com/032718_L-cysteine_commercial_bread.html Anyone here bake their own bread? Any good recipes?

Sorry I can't make the show Michael, I’ll get there another Monday, but 500 gigs is a major milestone.

It is the Nonesuch CD.

This sucks to hear this. Too many musicians are suffering with medical costs.

Thanks.

I've been going through a box of CDs that belong to my father when he was alive. My mother decided after 13 years to get rid of much of everything, so I took the music. Mostly classical/opera. I came across one CD of Gershwin playing his compositions to a piano roll. When he played jazz, he could swing. Anyone else ever heard any of these piano rolls?

I just want to gauge how many CDs I will need to send out for February. Please let me know what you will take, a DL or CD. HEre is the link to the music. http://www.sendspace.com/file/ed45wn

You can put me down for aother in 2014.

I am stumped with the rest of these tracks. A great BFT by the way.

Wow. Sad news. RIP George. Thanks for all the music.

So far here is what I have after one time through. I haven't looked at the posts yet 01. The is the Montgomery Brothers. I have this record. 10. I am sure I have this one. Is it Donald Byrd and Kenny Burrell? 12. This has to be Sonny Stitt. I have this record too. Don't recall the title of the recording. Gonna listen once more before I look at the other responses.

Here is another clip with Cosby,

Plus you would have heard the show in better fidelity then anything that could have been recorded.

That really blows. So few jazz stations. They are going the way of the white rhino.
