That was just my unfounded opinion. If you don't keep the mind active, it will soften up on you. I do wish George many happy years to come whether retired or actively performing. What I was trying to convey was this, the webmaster said there are no shows listed because George has retired. But he did play a week in NYC in late November. I guess it is hard to completely hang up performing. The ovation from the audience must keep you coming back for more, as well as the money to support yourself. Anyone at 76 should be able to explore other desires in their lives.

Henry Grimes kind of retired from music scene and changed professions all together for 30 years. Now he's back. But that's the reverse of what I was asking.

Yesterday I sent an email to the webmaster for George Coleman's web site. I was wondering why his itinerary tab has been blank for nearly the past 10 months. The reply I received was George is in retirement. I did see George Coleman live in November of 2011. If he is retired, why do a week's engagement at a club? When it's in your blood I wonder if you can ever stop playing? Horace Silver when I saw him live in 2004, said this would be his last performance and that he was going to retire and do other things instead of music. I think retiring led to Silver's Alzheimer's disease. That's just my speculation. Basie retired and ended up needing a wheel chair to get around in his last few years. I did manage to see Basie and his orchestra when he came out of retirement in 1982. The band played the New Savoy Ball Room in Harlem. Basie rode out on his motorized wheel chair and slide himself over onto the piano seat. Basie said to the audience retiring was the worst decision he made. I recall a interview with J.J.Johnson on WKCR from the early 90s. Johnson said he had officially retired from traveling and performing. The first time he traveled after retiring, his wife and him were waiting for their luggage, after they grabbed their bags, his wife asked what are you waiting for still? He told her, my trombone. It still isn't here yet. She told him, you didn't take your trombone. I can't think of any musician that retired and didn't pick up his instrument at some point and go out and play. I am hoping it is the same with George Coleman.

Happy birthday Patrica.

Happy birthday David. Many more.

Wow, this thread started 8 years ago. "Time passes much too quickly."

My memory is long gone.

Yes, nice band. The best of luck with this.

I am always opened to new sounds, but I can't say I have a clue who they may be.

Does the file play in WinAmp. This media player supports flac files. If the file plays without issues then there maybe another issue. May the original file is 24 bit. I've had problems with some files that were originally 24 bit. I did find some software that corrected that problem. It is called dBpoweramp Music Converter. You can find the free version online to download and use.

Yes, this is an adaptation of Smokey Johnson's "It Ain't My Fault." The original version on NOLA Records was a local New Orleans hit in the 1960's; since then, the tune has become a standard for the brass bands of that city. I'll give you the entire instrumentation: clarinet, alto sax, trombone, accordion, banjo, tuba and drums. This band has several albums and should be better known than they are, in my opinion. I have no clue. Not even a spark. Not many folks around here know about this band, which is one reason I included a track by them - to promote them a little. Is this band still together?

#16 is a tune written I believe by Smokey Johnson. I don't think it is Smokey Johnson singing it though.

I don't think I'll ever guess what #4 is. I am hearing a tuba along with the clarinets and accordion and drums.

I've only seen him once, and "bland" was my impression. But considering all the comments here and the fact that he IS a first call guitarist, I should revisit some of his albums. If Sonny Rollins added him to his band, he can't be shabby.

Are you paid based upon someone clicking on the ads? If so I wonder which ad(s) were clicked on. The current one at the bottom of my screen is for single men. This board is comprised of mostly men and I can't see that one being clicked on. The second one is for organ transplant rejection. A new wonder drug to help with rejection.
