God damn. How sad this is. Rest in Peace Sam. Thanks for the music you gave the world.

I do have one I am using.

I did pick up a few Sonny Rollins' LPs on Milestone0

The back of the LP had it spelt this way. image

Don Pullen and George Adams Quartet "Breakthrough"

If one was going to start collecting LPs from a label, are there any labels that won't cost hundreds per LP? Blue Note, Prestige and Riverside original pressings are way out of my league, unless I find some estate sale where the sellers have no clue of the value. Any label(s)worth going after?

At least there is a happy ending to this story. She was reunited with her violin. But how do you forget something worth that much in the first place? If it were me, I would have had the case chained to my wrist. Reuters) - Christmas came early for a Boston music student who was reunited with the $170,000 violin she forgot in the overhead compartment of a regional commuter bus she rode last week, police said. Muchen Hsieh, a student at the New England Conservatory in Boston, had traveled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, arriving at roughly 11 p.m. on Tuesday. Christine O'Brien, a spokeswoman for the Philadelphia police, who helped Hsieh track down the missing instrument, said then came a moment of sheer panic for the student. O'Brien said Hsieh realized she had forgotten the instrument after she was picked up from the bus station. She blamed her absent-mindedness on travel fatigue. Article

I am listening to a Lambert, Hendricks and Ross LP. What a fine pianist Gildo Mahones was. Outside of playing woth LH&R and his session, "The Great Gildo" and Wes Montgomey's "Good Git Together" I don't much more with him playing piano. As far as I know he is still alive, but does he still play?

You can't beat $3. My only qualm with the Fat Cat is the crowd talks too much while playing pool while the musicians are performing. I must convince the wife I need to go to this show.

McCoy Tyner's "It's About Time"

I have to give Chrome a try.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Grammy-winning singer Etta James, who has been deemed terminally ill with leukemia, has been hospitalized in California and placed on a breathing machine, her long-time manager and friend said on Friday. James, 73, best known for the blues ballad "At Last," was taken to the hospital near her home in Riverside, east of Los Angeles, earlier this week because she was struggling to breathe. "They took her to the hospital. She was having trouble breathing, so they intubated her. She is on a breathing machine and is resting," Lupe De-Leon, the singer's manager for 30 years, told Reuters. article
