Thanks for making all those great sessions. RIP.

In his place is CYRUS CHESTNUT QUARTET feat. RUSSELL MALONE. Hope all is well with Sweet Poper Lou.

I was all set on seeing him for the 21st time this coming week. But his shows were just canceled. Anuone know why they were canceld?

Wow. No more film. I guess it was about time. Here's a shot I took last weekend with my digital camera. The quality is as good if not better than film in my opinion

Yes it is Mr. Lion's birth place.

Any guesses to who was born in this place?

That's the one. Thanks for finding it.

Hey, has anybody ever gotten banninated before, after only one post?? Edit: What's the record for least number of posts before bannination?? Musicboy was something like only 8 posts -- but what an amazing 8 posts they were. I do recall someone being banned after 1 post. I think he was claiming to be Clint Eastwood. I have to check to see if I can find the post.

Which Isley Brother are you?

I was thinking of Maxine. She does read on this board. I know she posted once. On the Dexter Board she said she comes here and reads some threads.

Enjoy your birthday 7/4.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, and many more.

It seems over the years Monk gets most of the credit for writing Round Midnight, when it was co-written with Cootie Williams. How much input did Williams have on the writing of Jazz's greatest known tune?

Have a good one.

Happy Birthday from all of us. We miss your art work.

Damn, I wish I could make his one.

I built a small room in my basement where I have CD's and stereo and a nice chair. Does anyone else have a private listening room?

Not familiar with Cool Summer or tade. Can you 'splain? Cool Summer: Dexter Gordon & McCoy Tyner (2002) From a online review: When Dexter Gordon takes the stage, he deflects the audience's applause to his horn, but there's a bit of false modesty there, I'd guess. The disc gets right to it, and he sounds great. His performance is intercut with backstage interview footage of him; he doesn't have anything especially revealing to say, and the clips only impede the sense of flow, as they're spliced into the first song in his set. You never really get the feeling of what it's like to be on stage, or even in the audience, but man, Gordon can blow that horn. Unfortunately, we get only a truncated little set, running less than half an hour, of three songs—they are: Cheesecake Skylark Backstage at the Village Skylark is probably the best of these, a plaintive sax rendition of a torch song standard. I remember seeing this when it was broadcast on TV (the series was called Harvest Jazz, from 1982 ) and was not very impressed. The other portion has McCoy Tyner with Bobby Hutcherson, that I have not seen. The "Cool Summer" DVD of separate sets of Dexter & McCoy is available now on eBay, little time left, for $11.96 + $4.50 for domestic shipping. The fact that there is a cutaway from a performance in order to interview is a turnoff to me but perhaps not to others. Here. The cut away is a big issue with me. Let the tune finish, then cut away for the interview.

Do you have any other web sites you visit regarding jazz?

On the subject of Dexter, how bad is the "Cool Summer" DVD? It could have been a tad longer with some more information. Has anyone here seen the "Cool Summer" DVD?

I have to add Henry Grimes too.

Elvin was June 2004.

How could I forget Benny Bailey.

For me, it was James Carter. I really dig his playing. I went and saw him live and he was amazed, great soul jazz and straight ahead playing from him.
