Sonny Rollins Meets Rahsaan Roland Kirk. I never knew about this. I have to find the full video.

The late Randy Weston was always telling stories about James Reese Europe at his gigs.

I have about a dozen or so CD's from this Italian label and enjoy them all. Does anyone else here also like what they release? If so, any favorites? I have all the Cedar Walton, Sphere, Billy Higgins and some others.

I don't either the Rollins or Silver when I looked on the website. I see sessions that are over 50 years old and are in the public domain in Europe and have been repackage.

I have only two of these tracks. Number 2 and 9. These were identified already. Nice set of music. I enjoyed this BFT. Waiting for the reveal at the end of the month.

Way to go Wayne.

Happy Birthday.

Yes. I have that album. It is real real good. I knew I've heard this version of the tune.

#2, I know it isn't going to be him, but is it Bill Frisell on guitar? The last time I saw Bill live he played Stranger in Paradise and it reminds me of his rendition.

Happy birthday

Sonny in Munich 1992.

yes, they're the only two.

Inside, plastered across two pages, was a photograph that would go on to become a pop culture artifact. It was called A Great Day in Harlem, by photographer Art Kane, and it brought together 57 jazz musicians in front of a New York apartment building. Since that photo was taken, Kane and many of the musicians who appeared in the photo have died. Former Esquire magazine art director Robert Benton and one of the last two surviving subjects of the photo, saxophonist Sonny Rollins, take us back to the day of the shoot and discuss the lasting impact of A Great Day in Harlem.

Good for him. Glad he’s still going strong.

Wow. I didn't know about this.

Benny remembering the photo shoot.

Wow, a major loss. RIP Michel.
