For some reason, I'm impressed by the following (even though I'm not a jacket & tie guy): In the notes for Alone With Just My Dreams, drummer Sherman Ferguson, after remarking what a pleasure it was to record with Joe Wilder, said: "And he never took off his jacket and tie!" Sure enough, in the booklet, there's a photo from one of the sessions, recorded August 6 & 7, 1991, when it had to be hot in NYC. All of the musicians are in short sleeves, except for Mr. Wilder, looking natty and cool in jacket and tie. Today, I listened to Johnny Hartman's Once In Every Life, which was recorded in August, 1980 in the NYC area. Once again, in the session photographs, all of the musicians are in short sleeves, except for Mr. Wilder, in jacket and tie. And both times, he looks completely comfortable and natural.

Illinois Jacquet (Epic Classic) Normally I'd listen primarily to the horns, but tonight my ears were locked in on George Duvivier's masterful bass playing.

It might be interesting to read how certain musicians were influenced by certain records. Might not make a book but certainly a long article.

I imagine that there would be a fair number of people here who'd be interested in the CD set once they'd heard some of the music.

Surprising he he didn't record with Dudu Pukwana, Mike Osbourne or Trevor Watts - at least not as far as I know Three pretty significant saxophonists of the 70's and 80's Don Cherry did record with Dudu Pukwana on Johnny Dyani's Song for Biko album. Thanks Me needs to look for that CD. On steeplechase, I think.... Yes. And, as Chuck (I believe) pointed out some time ago, the CD has a cut that the LP lacks.
