I used to knock about with a man called MacGregor. I called him Mac. You remember Mac? Eh?

I was privileged to see the Irene Schweizer-Pierre Favre duo in their U.S. debut (after 40-some years of playing together) at The Stone on Saturday night. There's a nice clip from the show on YouTube (I'm blocked at work). I'm glad I swapped seats with the guy who is now in the frame the whole time.

That must have come through within the past year or so.

I didn't go with Magic Jack because you can't port your number, so I use Callcentric instead. I use it through a softphone on my computer and headset, but you can also buy phones that connect to your modem. http://www.callcentric.com/

Thanks!

I can't figure out how to download them as mp3 files. I'm listening on the computer. Can anybody help? Looks like maybe I can't download them without an Android device, which I don't have: https://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1067233

First time I've come across that particular fetish.

In 1974, IIRC, when I was 18, Grappelli came to NYC and played the Bottom Line. My friends and I said to each other, "He's ancient, we'd better go, we may never get a chance to see him again." He was great, and of course he had more than 20 years ahead of him on earth and on stage. I just found this on Spotify. Check out the lineup.

Some totally new names to me. Let's see what Spotify can do for me on these names...

I like this one for the great rhythm section and the differing styles of Burrell and Bucky.

First time I went to the Monterey Jazz Festival I saw Patty Waters (as well as another favorite of mine, Bobbe Norris). Patty's sound was so brutally honest and vulnerable, I was on the edge of my seat. I had known the ESP recordings, but this was more profound. I also noticed how much she got from Ethel Waters, and when I spoke with her she confirmed this. A few years later I got to see her reunited with Burton Greene at the Vision Festival. I saw a Hendricks & Ross reunion at the Blue Note in 1999. The pianist, David (whose last name I can't remember), had been a classmate of mine in an abnormal psych class at Brooklyn College ca. 1974, but that was the only time I saw him gigging, and haven't heard of him since.

Unless you're an accordion hater, you've got to have some Gus Viseur. Here's a blog post about him from Durium: http://keepswinging.blogspot.com/2008/12/gus-viseur-accordion-player-1915-1974.html

Bley has been known to "vocalize," but not as egregiously.

She needs a medical alert device and plan. My mother has one, and before she had full time aides she was rescued at least three times after falls--the company gets the notification and they send out local emergency services. There are a number of providers. I think my mother might have this one: http://www1.lifestation.com/

Charles Lloyd, "Pre-Dawn," on the "soundtrack" album. It's a live solo sax performance that is Ayler-influenced and anticipates David Murray. It's a discrete track, but it segues directly into Forest Flower, so I suspect it was really intended as a long intro of sorts.
