I don't know if any of you have seen this: An Open Letter To Marcus Strickland And His Facebook Friends In short, Payton blows a fuse because Marcus, who is a wonderful saxophonist, composer and very nice man, asked the question (to paraphrase) : Why is Jazz dead, and how is this rant helping anyone? Payton pisses all over Marcus, and more, in his reply. Some insightful observations include: Who in here knows more about the history of this music than me? Who here is qualified to go toe-to-toe with me musically or otherwise on this subject? Any takers? I’ll answer. Not one of you. Not one. There is no living soul who can walk on a bandstand anywhere in the world and play more horn than me. Period. Oh, my head hurts! BAM!

He used to have that and other 78's signed by Wynton, at the JALC gift shop when he ran it, along with bunch of other flotsam not worth buying.

Happy Birthday to Peter Friedman

Happy Birthday Peter!!!! -
I first heard him with Art Blakey and then Milt Jackson. I've heard him a few times recently with his own trio and then in a duo with Mulgrew Milller. Very good pianist and a a fine entertainer, although I wish he would play more and sing a little less. I know he's living in NYC now.

Because I had the opportunity to lurk around in some of the Sony media files recently, I think there may be something coming up regarding any live concerts of Miles/Gil Evans. I saw a few photos of the 1961 concert there ready to be used in some package.

I'm not sure if this qualifies, but I picked up a used copy of Gary Giddins' "Satchmo: The Genius of Louis Armstrong" that was inscribed by Giddins to John Lewis and his wife Mirjana.

Keystone Korner bio
marcello replied to BFrank's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
In a related story: I knew that a police station was next door (across a alley), but Kenny Barron opened my eyes this Summer on how it relates to the name of the club: Keystone Korner - Keystone Kops. Todd is really out there! It was a strip club/bar before: "The Keystone Korner at 750 Vallejo Street opened in the late 1960's taking over from a bar/club which had operated in the same building. It became a rock venue in 1969 initially providing a weekly venue for Mike Bloomfield. It's popularity grew over the next couple of years at which time the owner, Freddie Herrera, took over a larger club in Berkeley which he named the Keystone Berkeley. The Keystone Korner was sold to Todd Barkan who turned it into a jazz club. It continued as one of the Bay Areas finest jazz venues until closing in 1983." And: "Freddie Herrera opened a club called the Keystone Korner at 750 Vallejo Street in San Francisco. The club was just a few blocks off of the "entertainment" district on Broadway. It had previously been a rock club called DenoCarlo's, and various local bands had played there in 1968, including a regular Monday night residency for Berkeley's Creedence Clearwater Revival. Herrera took over the club in 1969 and tried to make it into a topless dancing place, but it was too far from Broadway to capture the tourists and sailors. Fortuitously, Nick Gravenites wandered in, and he was looking for a club that he could use for various ends. As a result, starting in mid-1969, The Keystone Korner became a rock club, often featuring various expatriate Chicagoans who had relocated to San Francisco, including Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop. Bloomfield and Gravenites played there almost every other weekend from September 1969 through March 1970, and the little venue was sort of like their clubhouse."
