Don't forget "Midnight Mood" by Mark Murphy with an octet of Clarke-Boland bandmembers backing him.

I think it was my second set....after Larry Young. Great stuff! FWIW, there's one on ebay right now - still under $100 if anyone's looking for it.

I only saw him once and unfortunately don't have a great recollection of the show - but I'm SURE it was great. 12/30/1979 - Keystone Korner, San Francisco: Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Reunion w/Cedar Walton, Billy Harper, Curtis Fuller, Airto, Jackie McLean, Eddie Henderson

Yeah......nice album. I never listened to him all that much before.

He did some nice work on Bill Evans' "Quintessence" album.

What??? Damn. RIP, Jackie.

Looks like I'm going to have to order this one. (It's all YOUR fault, Free For All!)

Crap. I might actually have to buy the JJ now. I wasn't going to at first, but too many people have said too many good things about it. Well......what's another $100+??

That pretty much sums it up for me, too, MD.

He'll be here this Saturday night with Zooid for the SF Jazz Festival

Blondie Veronica Dagwood

I wonder if Bobby's going to sit in with Joey & George at Yoshi's in a couple of weeks. He's not on the bill, but he DOES live around here.

Don't get 'em mixed up - I just can't seem to get the spelling right: Bill Frisell/Lefty Frizzell

Yeah. THAT works! BTW, I like it in the logo bar at the top, but I voted the other way. Can I change my vote?

Mark Dresser/Paul Dresher

I have no............ORGANISSIMO!

You could start by checking out Gerald Wilson. His latest ("In My Time") might even be one of his best. Missing for me: - All those older big bands that Paul mentioned above (except for Woody Herman) - Jimmy Smith (I know......shocking on this message board) - Gerry Mulligan

BF actually ponying up some funds? Yeah. Have to put the Single Malt on hold for now, I guess. And that's different from any other day because........? Because............er, uh,..........well............. ......just because.

Not necessarily a GOOD thing.

Hey, Conn........I'll trade ya' Carmell Jones for the Curtis Amy set!

Good to know. Both are available on eMusic.

... and I'm the second. I think I cancelled you out catesta - sorry.

I went last Thursday. They played "Illumination", "Funny Valentine", "Soran Bushi B.H." & "Light Within". As ep1str0phy said, Francesca was on fire. She's really come into her own and is making a run at claiming the McCoy Tyner sound. VERY impressive. All in all a very solid show. With the exception of Keyon Harrald, this group has been together for well over 10 years and it shows in their communication.

OK.......I threw a couple o' bucks into the PayPal pot (well, more than 'a couple', actually) WELL worth it! (even if I DO have to put up with Conn in the chat room)
