Well I sent the person an email and if I do get the show and it is unrelased Wes, I wonder if I could seed it on Dime for all to grab?

I did, and he will send it to me. He claims it is a lost Riverside date that got canned. If true, it should still have made it into the Riverside box I would think.

Someone had contacted me regarding some rare music I have and if I would like to make a trade. He claims to have an unreleased Wes session from 2/16/1960 from Bell Sound Studios. I could not find any info on this date. At this time Wes was still on Riverside. I have the Riverside box, but handy at the moment, but I don't recall this date. Anyone know this date or what this session could be?

So what's the total number of band people? I can think of only 2 others.

Just came across a new nickname for a jazz artist. I was listening to a live performance of "Buck Eye Key". Any guesses who went by that name?

Any idea what a box of these cards are worth? It has to be in the thousands I would guess.

Sad news. RIP.

I believe in the US, there's about 23 left from WWI as of November 11th 2005. The day for veterans in the US.

Do you have a favorite standard that when you play it, you tear it up? When I use to play, I could play my ass off when doing "The Shadows of Smile" and "On Green Dolphin Street". List your's.

The Autobiography of Horace Silver is due out in March of 2006. It's a bit early, but you can pre order Horace Silver's book. Book

Who was the first saxophonist to go without a piano player? I thought it was it Sonny Rollins. But I've recently heard a Gerry Mulligian recording from the early 1950's minus a piano player. Any thoughts on this?

That was great Dan. Thanks for this post.

Thanks for keeping the beat. I enjoyed your playing. I think I'll spin some Horace Silver now and listen to your druming.

I think in Frank Morgan's case, was he spent a number of years in prision for drug possession.

For someone at 75 to continue to play tenor like he does is testament to how great a musician he is. It takes a lot of air to play the tenor. Especially the swirling sounds he makes.

Has anyone esle here check it out yet? Clark Terry

All the best and many more.

As long as it's clean beaver.

RIP.

Just how cold does it get by January?

Sad to hear this.

I may squeeze this in tomorrow.

Time to get out while you can.

A cat will work fine. I live in a rural area on Long Island, my cat bring my wife and I dead mice as presents all the time. She goes out in the yard and comes back with what she thinks is a gift. I am the one that ends up picking it up to throw away. The hungrier the cat, the faster the mouse will be history.
