I just remembered that one of the shows I taped was a Jazzmobile concert, that was recorded by the local NPR station here in Rochester, with the Milt Jackson Quartet with Sonny Red! Gone forever unless the station kept it in their archives.

Geoffrey Keezer: who never ceases to amaze and grow. Exciting and endlessly full of ideas. Frank Kimbrough :who, as a composer of his own unique music, is his best interpeter.

Not to put this effort off tract but to expand the subject of direct contribtions we might want to consider contributions to directly to or individuals suggested by the Jazz Foundation Of America. I regulary contribute to that cause, personaly. The Jazz Foundation Of America Web Site

I used to video tape everything that I couls off television when VCRs first came out, some were on Beta, for many years. I had a nice collectrion of things from local stations where I lived and of course, manyt many guest shotsfrom Tonite, Mike Douglas etc. When I went to play them back a few years ago EVERY tape, and there were many hours of then, were unplayable. A TOTAL waste!

My, My, this has been fun! Allen, you got caught triping over your own tounge; be a mench and lick your wounds in a quite place. You're not such a bad guy. As far a real guitar sound, then you have to start with a acoustic, right? When you move to a electric, the sound has ben altered, and I respect everyones taste, but I LIKE what has been done to alter the guitar voice. I think it can come closer to that of the human voice, and then some. I like what say, Vic Juris has done. It's very expressive and flowing almost......eh, NATURAL!

Martyjazz: This was probably a typo, but Evans died in New Jersey. I was at his last performance at Fat Tuesday. Michele Le Grand was there also, by the way. Evans had to have someone on each side of him to get around; he was so unsteady on his feet. Joe LaBarbra ( who is from my area ) told me that night that he recorded every set of every night that he played with him!

Can I suggest to everyone here to put on some headphones and listen to a little of ( a young guy, youmustbe ) Adam Rogers and cool it?

There just happens to be a article about him in the March JazzTimes. He had been teaching in Pittsburg untill his illness. This is a favorite of mine: ＩＮ　ＴＨＥ　ＬＡＮＤ　ＯＦ　ＴＨＥ　ＧＩＡＮＴＳ　（PRESTIGE） ＥＲＩＣ　ＫＬＯＳＳ （1969/1/2） IN THE LAND OF THE GIANTS ERIC KLOSS (as) BOOKER ERVIN (ts) JAKI BYARD (p) RICHARD DAVIS (b) ALAN DAWSON (ds) SUMMERTIME / SO WHAT / SOCK IT TO ME SOCRATES WHEN TWO LOVERS TOUCH / THINGS AIN'T WHAT USED TO BE

AL GAFA - LEBLON BEACH - Pablo

Calm down Allen, you'll hurt yourself. Back to the subject: John Coltrane - Live at Birdland ( Steve Marcus once told me that it is him, claping all alone, at the end of "I Want to Talk About You !?)

It's kind of like a lot of educators bios that you see. You know they "played with" Liebman, Woods and others when all they did was attend a workshop!

In the Jazz field can we count Gene McDaniels? "Compared To What " (Les McCann & Eddie Harris) "Silent Majority" ( Eddie Harris - Live at Newport )

Here is a photo of Danny Bank!

KCSM has a nice show called "Desert Island Jazz" where they invite artists to come on the air to play and discuss their favorite records. Here is a link where you can view their choices:DESERT ISLAND JAZZ

Yes, I think that description will do! Cannbal-addict - Nice list! I forgot about Chris Cheek; he holds his own on the Paul Motion record playing Monk and Powell with Chris Potter.

Stubblefied is great but his own recordings don't show make the same impact as he does live. Maybe he just makes such a great impression live, that his recording pale some in the light of day. Suggestions are welcome! I first saw him play with Thad & Mel's band. Wow! Here is a link to a interview with him:Link

Tommy Smth ( Bluesmith - Alone At Last ) Billy Harper (Capra Black) Chris Potter (Lift)

Chuck, your production of "Have No Fear" is one of my favorite records. Much, much better that the Atlantic "Doin' It Right Now". Thanks!

I just ordeded it from Barnes & Noble. Total cost was $37.02 with member discount.

LIGHT BLUE Not the obvious choice but I dig that rolling rhythmn and the surprising melody. You can hear a little HERE

Here's a recent photo from Barry Quick:

A bit like having a mint car that you nerver drive! I'm a home bulider and I quite often build homes with 3 or 4 garage bays so the Owner can salt away a car that he NEVER DRIVES! Such a waste. Records are ment to be played. Like money, you can't take it with you!

The piano player was probably David Budway, who when Tain was a a youngster, turned him on to Jazz. Budway is a gifted composer,arranger and pianist that can play in any style on any gig.

These are the two extremes of the crappy jazz spectrum. Neither is to be taken as "the real thing". Neo Cons both!
