I dig everything session Big George has put out in his long career. I am excited about his new one coming out in September. On Amazon you can sample 30 seconds of the first track.
In your collections what is the rarest item anyone has?
I’ve moved my collection, CDs, vinyl records to digital format. I took up a room in my home with cD’s and LP’s. My wife can’t understand why I need 32 takes of Charlie Parker playing ‘Star Eyes.’
Is this Joe Henderson or not? Charles McPherson says no, but Barry Harris says yes. I don't recall ever seeing a photo of Joe Without Eye Glasses.
It's Pepper Adams on bari sax, Boo Boo Turner on piano, Al Jackson on bass. The drummer is unknown.
The dish was still empty earlier. Monk must have been a fast eater. That’s Phil Woods. I don’t have any clues who playing sax next to Phil. Any guesses?
Photo taken at the Jazz Loft during a 1959 rehearsal. At the bottom it look like Monk had some take out food. You can see the take out container. I wonder what he ordered.
