  6. This should be a good show to catch. Frank Wess Quintet Special Guest: Kenny Barron (piano) with: Roni Ben Hur (guitar) Victor Lewis (drums) Santi Debriano (bass) Frank Wess is revered as a smoothly swinging tenor saxophone player in the Lester Young tradition, as an expert alto saxophonist, and as one of the most influential, instantly recognizable flutists in jazz history. During World War II, Frank began his career by playing tenor saxophone and solo clarinet in the army band and later led a band accompanying Josephine Baker. After being discharged, he went on to play in the bands of Billy Eckstine, Eddie Heywood, Lucky Millinder and Bull Moose Jackson. In 1953 Frank joined the Count Basie Orchestra, in which he played tenor saxophone, flute and alto saxophone until 1964, when he moved to New York City to lead his own groups and play with groups such as such as the New York Jazz Quartet and Dameronia. From his Basie days, he formed a unique partnership with fellow tenor player Frank Foster and utilized the popularity of the Basie band to introduce the flute as an independent voice to jazz audiences, becoming one of its first major soloists. Wess and Foster continued working together in a quintet called "Two Franks" for almost twenty years. From the late 80's to the early 90's, Wess led a successful Basie-style big band featuring many of the original band's alumni such as Harry "Sweets" Edison, Joe Newman, Snooky Young, Al Grey, Benny Powell, Marshal Royal and Billy Mitchell. In 2007, Frank Wess received America's Highest Honor in Jazz, the prestigious NEA Jazz Masters Award. Today, at 88 years old, Frank hasn't slowed down, and he remains one of jazz's highest ranking and respected musicians on the scene.

  12. Yes Edmar is a real talent. I've seen him 5 times and he's always gotten better each time. I have both of his CDs. I really enjoy them.

  18. I have a copy of this. Most definitely a bootleg. The sound is somewhat poor, but worth having for the musicians on this jam session.
  19. All the best Guy. Many more to come.
  20. How about having a web site showcasing your band? Have everything on the website that the press kit would have. It may be easier for club owers to just go to a web site.

  25. Try not to run into these fellows. They guard the entrance to the afterlife. I took this photo at a museum. They was an exhibit of Chinese culture.
