Hardbopjazz

Can you think of artists that a jazz label stayed afloat because of him/her? I can think of these three. John Coltrane - Impulse. Jimmy Smith - Blue Note. Miles Davis - Prestige. Would Wes or Monk be a strong candidate for Riverside?

Hard to digest this news. I am a huge fan of his music. I can't even count how many times I've seen him live as a leader or sideman. At a gig early this year, I did him discussing with some of the other musicians before the set started, about prostrate cancer. I don't know if he was referring to himself. Time to play some of his music. Thanks Mr. Mabern for the music.

Thanks. That worked.

I have an audio file that someone gave me. It is in a format called AOB. I downloaded some software that claims to play and convert this format to WAV, but it didn't work. Does anyone know how I can listen to this format? Online I read it can be played in Blue Ray players. I don't have one of those.

I have to get with the times. I haven't used any streaming service yet. How good is the the catalogs for Amazon or the others in terms of jazz? Since this the music is going to be HD, I may check it out.

Wow. RIP Rick. The Cars had their own sound.

I haven't participated due to a busy schedule these past few months, but if you need someone for Oct I can put something together. I did do March.

RIP. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/eddie-money-two-tickets-paradise-140445527.html

R.I.P.

I really enjoy Houston Person. His newest release is real nice.

Over this past weekend, I went to my local library to return a book. There was a man trying to donate a crate of about 300 rock and R&B CD's to the library. The CD's came from a family member that had past away. The librarian kindly said, "Sorry, we have no need for the CD's. No one is borrowing CD's anymore." Are CD's really worthless that a library would refuse free CD's? I have many CD's and often thought where should they be donated to when I check out of this world. I know vinyl has made a come back, but are CD's really headed in the direction of the dodo?

Happy birthday.

I have the CD as well.

Happy 89th Sonny. Many more.

Impulse put out two LP's titles Americans in Europe.

Duke Pearson's nephew runs a Facebook page, "Remembering Duke Pearson." He seems to know a ton about his uncle. Why not ask him?

There have been a number of jazz musicians that left America and decided to live in Europe. Can you name some? Dexter Gordon Eric Dolphy. Don Byas.

Was this one discussed? This is a new one to me. http://nobusinessrecords.com/emanation-sam-rivers.html

There’s so little of him music out there. He died way to young.

Outside of "That Old Feeling" and a session he co-led with Stan Getz, "Poetry" there is not many recordings of Albert Dailey as a leader out there. Does anyone know of any? I really enjoy his playing.

thanks.

I know this tune, but age has ravaged the brain cell that has the answer. It is Sir Roland Hanna playing piano. https://gofile.io/?c=26VCNJ

The Charlie Parker Jazz Festival in NYC. Sunday was great.
