I'll have to get that one out and play it again. I remembered Gonsalves and Getz being on it, but completely forgot about Hawk.

Warne Marsh: Posthumous (Interplay)

Boyce and Hart The Boys from Syracuse Jim Boeheim

I read something once where he said that Lester Young couldn't play saxophone. Sounds like some of the things Miles was quoted as saying - maybe coming from some of the same places.

Interesting. I didn't know much about his later years. I still don't, but have a little more idea of what happened. Thanks for posting the link, Chuck.

John Fahey: Volume 6 - Years Have Gone By (Takoma)

A Power Stronger than Itself was published by the U. of Chicago Press. I've read it, learned from it, and have kept my copy.

-15 here last night. Too cold for me. At least no snow. Boston, you have my sympathy.

Mr. Crouch, anyone?

Happy Birthday!

Johnny Littlejohn could do it. Heard him play live once - quite a night.

Should say "Inez Andrews" below the picture, but I couldn't find a better image.

Anything with Terry Teachout's name on it

I feel that Hawk played some of his best music in his later years - perhaps not the last 2-3 years of his life but, say, 1957 to 1963. (Some might go later than 1963 - I hear Jim coming - but that's a good cut off point for my ears.) Perhaps he didn't look as good as he did as a young man, but the music was as good or better than ever.

All morning: the opening riff to J.B. Lenoir's "Let Me Die with the One I Love"

Didn't expect a lot but got more than I expected - always a good thing. Makes me want to play the record again - also a good thing.
