Happy Birthday Sonny Rollins. 92 years young today.

Yes. Thanks.

He is in Clark Terry's band 1973. No name given.

Anyone know who this is?

This is so great. Long live Hank.

So long Joey, Rest In Peace.

Happy 89 Wayne. Many more to come.

He was there from the start. https://www.wbgo.org/tags/michael-bourne

For me, Mal was versatile. He’s was good backing others or as a leader. I enjoy Mal in live settings. On my Facebook group I have a private recording of him leading his group at the Vanguard. The band swings the whole set. https://m.facebook.com/groups/327260927975997/?tsid=0.11444042330453097&source=result

Amazing.

A tragic loss. This was a wonderful little hole in the wall to go listen to jazz, and drink beer.

Ernest Ranglin turned 90 today.

Anyone read this book? I just ordered a copy. Seems like it will be a nice read.

Damn, this is a sad day. RIP Grachan.

Drummer Leroy Williams passed away today. He was 85.

Just in case anyone is interested.

Actor Ray Liotta has died. He was 67. RIP.

Best known for the drummer in Yes, Allen White has died.

It’s going to be on time this one. Usually Mosaic doesn’t charge my credit card unless somethings going to be shipped soon. If The release date is out into the future, they usually don’t take payment. The last set, Lenny Tristano, I ordered that one was first available to order, but not anywhere near the shipping date, I wasn’t billed until 15 days or so prior to the release date. My credit card was charged $169 yesterday for this new one. I placed the order a few weeks ago.

Another one that hits me emotionally, Billy Stayhorn's Lush Life.

Con Alma = With Soul. The title is so apropos for the mood it gives off, regardless to who is playing it. This tune bring me into a state where I am almost in tears, but not a sad sense. So beautiful. In my opinion, it is Dizzy's best composition. I was just listening to a live Mike Longo recording from 2012, "celebrating Dizzy and Miles." He plays this on the CD "with soul." Any others?
