Where is Lee playing at? The Charlie Parker 10th Memorial Concert, 3/27/65 at Carnegie Hall.

"Blues For Bird": Lee Konitz

I have it, but have not listened to it in decades. That should tell you something.

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.

Rene Marie. Wonderful 2 sets with a REAL jazz singer with a lot of heart and and a commanding stage presence.

I think it was Denzil Best, but who's counting?

Ryan Keberle

They keep adding more every day. Here's one of Charlie Shavers.

Happy Birthday Connnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

Jazz at Lennie's On the Turnpike Like this one:

Happy Birthday, Jeff!!

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.

Happy Birthday, Brownie!!

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.

Yes, I have that one too: I have a couple of others that have wonderful playing along with the moaning. This is one of those:

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."

Nah, Bob is very fit, even now in his mid seventies. He just got used to the electric bass, wanted to be better heard with Sonny and got tired of carrying around the acoustic. I asked him because Joe Locke wanted him to play acoustic on the "Rev-elation" cd and tours.
