  5. Thanks, that's the guy.
  6. Does anyone remember back in the late 70s or early 80s, a TV ad by a singer selling his album? Although he was an unknown singer, he made himself sound as if he had been around for years. I believe his first name was Frank. I do recall reading that he sold 80,000 copies of his album through the commercial.

  11. This sounds like a great festival The First Annual Dexter Gordon Festival NOVEMBER 14th – 23th 2010 - DEXTER GORDON FESTIVAL November 14-23: Concerts and Reminiscenses When we talk about the European period of the legendary tenor Dexter Gordon in the 60’s and 70’s, we immediately think about the jazz club Jazzhus Montmartre. That was his home there. For this very special Dexter Gordon tribute festival, with the close collaboration of Maxine Gordon, famous Danish and American musicians will be part of this event. Some played with Dex already 45 years ago, as the very great drummer “Tootie” Heath for example, or George Cables who was Dexter’s choice of pianist when he returned to the US in 1976.

  17. 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.
