Happy Birthday, Joe!!

I had the same experience a few years ago in Boston. "Rigor Mortis!", as Babs would say.

Happy Birthday, Mark!! Keep those photos coming!

Happy Birthday, Erik!!

It weird Tom, that you post this. For some reason we're killing a few centipedes in our house every day and other friends have seen the same thing in theirs.

That is absolutely Thad Jones on cornet. Look Here

Happy Birthday, Evan!!

I voted no for the same reason as Chuck.

There's a Borders by my house and I've used coupons to cherry pick what they have there, but they have totally eliminated their "jazz" stock. This is a store that not having any kind of close out sale. It's time to bid that store adieu!

Happy Birthday, Allen!! Keep fighting the Good Fight!

Happy Birthday, Jeff!!

Thanks! Wonderful!!

I talked to Todd last week and I know he's really psyched to get out of the rehab hospital and be a part of this. Mandel is one of the great ones.

Isn't that Gadd? Oh my God no, it's Vinnie Colaiuta. The other guy's name I can't remember, but he played keyboards and sang. So did Tal and another guest singer. Then, at one p[oint, Herbie played the Keytar. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

She was with Herbie Hancock last Summer on his Imagine tour. I saw them. To me it was a snooze. I met her once, She's a friend of Geoffrey Keezer.

So is Jimmy Heath's "Picture of Heath".

Here's one of my photos that I dug up recently:

I remember once that I saw a show at Avery Fisher Hall that had the band of Morello, Haynes, Blakey and Roach. Blakey brought out Morello at the end of his set to play a kind of a drum battle together on a song. It was nice!

The only LP I have is this one: But I have a killin' tape that I made back in the day the him playing with Elvin Jones at the Vanguard.

Happy Birthday, Paul!!!

That's my photo of Freddie on the cover. I haven't received my copy yet. These are from Todd Barkan's tapes made at the Keystone Korner. Toddy has lots. I know that they are talking about a Dexter Gordon date to be released, and I would guess, more to come from other artists.

I talked to Azar a couple of weeks ago at Dizzy's in NYC. He's looking for gigs. Someone introduced him to me and I immediately said "Bridge into the New World!". He kinda like that. I haven't heard his recent recordings. though.

I haven't enjoyed McCoy, either or records or in person, in a long. long time. Since these days ( October 8, 1976 ):
