This clearly has to hurt. No offensive to this bullfighter, but sometimes the bull does win. This will go down on Wide World of Sports', "the agony of defeat." http://www.nypost.com/rw/nypost/2010/05/22/news/photos_galleries/bullfight/cropped/SPAIN%20BULLFIGHTING_001195151--400x600.jpg http://www.nypost.com/rw/nypost/2010/05/22/news/photos_galleries/bullfight/cropped/BULLFIGHTING-SPAIN-SAN-ISIDRO195149--500x380.jpg by the way, he did survive, the matador that is. The bull was put down.

The jam with Larry Young is really not that bad. I have a copy of that.

Hey, this a Hendrix/Rivers discussion.

Rivers said Jimmy was a blues player who couldn't read music. All Rivers did was get to the basics and play straight ahead blues when they jammed. True, maybe there's not something interesting here and thus Rivers never bothered to get this released. We may never know.

Maybe another Mosaic set one day.

While at the Sam Rivers show earlier this month, Sam mention that in late 68 or early 69 he invited Hendrix to jam with him. Sam said they played from dusk to dawn in a loft across from where Sweet Basil was. Sam also said he recorded the jam session. During the question section of the concert Sam said they played nothing but the blues for 12 hours. I would love to one day hear this. Does anyone know if this is circulating with collectors that are into these private recordings?

I heard that one part of the concert will be a trio with Rollins, Roy Haynes and Christian McBride. The same trio from Sonny's 2007 Carnegie Hall concert. A friend of mine was having a conversation with Christian and he confirmed that Sonny has asked him to be apart of the concert, and that Sonny was trying to get Haynes too. Man, I would love to see these three go into the studio and put out an album(CD). For now, I settle for the concert.

What a wondeful story.

From the NY Times Hank Jones, Versatile Jazz Pianist, Dies at 91 By PETER KEEPNEWS Hank Jones, whose self-effacing nature belied his stature as one of the most respected jazz pianists of the postwar era, died Sunday at a hospice in the Bronx. He was 91. Mr. Jones spent much of his career in the background. For three and a half decades he was primarily a sideman, most notably with Ella Fitzgerald; for much of that time he also worked as a studio musician on radio and television. More Arts News His death, at Calvary Hospital Hospice, was announced by his longtime manager, Jean-Pierre Leduc. Mr. Jones lived on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and also had a home in Hartwick, N.Y. NY Times

This is new to me as well. I wonder how Hank Mobley's playing is at time point in his life.

He was 99 and gigging up to his death. Mr. Max Lucas, Saxophonist, is a Jazz legend and American treasure. He has worked with the greats of Jazz, the Louis Armstrong Orchestra, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughn to name a few. Mr. Lucas celebrates his 99th birthday on Friday, September 18th and Saturday, September 19th , at the Lenox Lounge, 288 Lenox Avenue/Malcolm x Blvd in Harlem, NYC. The evening will be extra special; Mr. Lucas will perform will The Nathan Lucas Trio lead by his talented son. The sets will run from 8 to 11 pm, and there is no charge for admission. So come out and celebrate the life and music of Max Lucas a Jazz legend and icon of Jazz! His life of playing, creating and making music, is Jazz! bio

He was always so dapper in his suits.

WKCR has a memorial broadcast going on right now. WWW.WKCR.ORG

This is very sad indeed. But I will remember him by pulling out some of his music. That's the best way to keep his spirit alive. God bless you Hank, and thank you for the wonderful music you gave the world.
