Hardbopjazz

Saw Count Basie and his band. Cica 1981 at the NEW Savoy Ballroom in harlem. Don't think that's there anymore. The band was great. Basie came out on a mobilized wheelchair. Freddie Green was there too. In fact, this was the first live jazz show I ever been to.

It's a Phil Woods album form 1971. It is on NDR records. Not too familiar with NDR the catalog. I'm on Phil Woods kick, and was thinking of picking it up. Wondering if it is good session.

They have no plans to come to the states from what I read. I would love to go a show.

Well, if it doesn't matter, I wish someone would sign Horace Silver and Jackie McLean and Lou Donaldson...

I came across two private recordings someone gave me a copy of. I'm trying to figure out the sidemen and a couple of the tunes. The dates are 11/27/86 at Bradley's in NYC and 7/23/93 at San Remo, Italy. I have the musicians figured out but not the set list.h

Are the senior jazz artists denied contracts because of age? Do you think record companies just go with the younger artists because younger artists attract a younger buying group, which spend more money? Example number 1: Jackie McLean, Jackie McLean hasn't put out anything new for a few years. The last studio session was "Nature Boy" in 2000. He can still play, and I'm sure he would still enjoy recording if giving the chance. There must be a ton of other senior jazz artists without contracts too.

Does a discography of Joe Henderson exist on the web like the artists on Mike's site?

Just wondering what other stuff people here like to collect, coins, stamps, assault weapons, orchids or what ever. Tell us about it.

Outside of Bill Hardman and maybe Julian Priester, who else were the main stays in the Messengers at this time? I believe Ronnie Mathews palyed piano, but he was replaced by the first woman messenger, Joanne Brackeen by 1970 or even earlier. Was Lawrence Eveans on bass around this time? There's not much studio work from the band at this time.

Yes welcome to the board.

I guess you can say they were stillborn.

This one crack me up.

So we hit over 1000, but how many of them ever posted? I bet there is only 600 active members.

yet another.

This one too.

This made me laugh.

Wow, this is a great but a very sad thread.

Welcome to the board.

You almost got to see Coltrane! Too bad your plane didn't have engine problems when you left. You could have stayed an extra night or two and saw him.

I'm at 0.49

Sure.

I plan on going to see the Heath Brothers on the 19th. 5 out of 6 nights look to be great shows. Just ain't no better club for jazz in my opinion.

I bought a 50 pack of them today. They look just like an album. Also seem to be good quality.

Did pledge. Those birthday broadcasts rule. There should be more of them.

The board is almost at 1000 members. This will happen in a few days.
