    Although there doesn't appear to be any formal confirmation of this, he had been ill for quite a while, so it is not unexpected. I consider myself lucky to have seen so many Jazz greats - and Ray was one of them. He was a force on the bass. I've been meaning to pick up a few more of Ray's Arabesque CDs. I have "Vignettes" and it's really nice. I'll have to play that in his memory.

    I saw Gumbs once when he was in his straight ahead phase in the early 00's, but he was off my radar for most of his other visits to the Boston area, when he was more on the smooth side of things. He was quite the pianist that one time I saw him.

    I just bought a copy at the Bull Moose store in Portsmouth, NH for $7.

    I always appreciated brownie's posts. He was such positive presence here.

    I have quite a few of the Legends of Acid Jazz CDs. The graphics suck, especially if you want to actually read what's written in front of said graphics. For instance, on this CD: This is the back of the booklet: Have fun reading that. I'm spinning this now and it's pretty darn good, crappy graphics and all.

    I have a ton of Stitt's records but I never got around to that "Legends of Acid Jazz" CD, mostly because Stitt plays with a varitone attachment on this session & I am not a big fan of that sound. It's now going for over $20 on the used market, so I'm out. If I find one in the cheapie bin, maybe. Especially since, as I said, I have a ton of Stitt already.

    I've been meaning to pick up a copy of this for a while. I'll have to rectify that one of these days.

    I was a season ticket holder with the Boston Celtics for close to a decade and in the old Boston Garden, they most definitely had a "basketball organist".

    Alan Dawson & Richard Davis were locked and loaded for quite a few years with Booker Ervin for his "books".

    Gheorghe - I missed that your wife had died. I am so sorry to hear this. 47 is too soon to be taken away.

    This is a bummer. Such a great player. Subtlety at its finest.

    Church organ and roller rink organ are two very different breeds. Church organ makes me think slow, somber held notes. Roller rink organ is not slow or somber and lightly held notes. But that's just me. Catholic churches were dark & somber in general, so it makes sense that I'd think that about the organ playing. Best church organ song ever:
