Nothing that I know of. There was a European tour with Tommy Flanagan ( with George Mraz on bass, who told me a funny road story about Joe Hen the other night), but none with Hank Jones.

Happy Birthday, Mike!!

I agree. A great recording!

Chuck speaks the truth.

I'll be at Dizzy's while Joe Locke is playing there (Feb. 15 - 20) with vocalist Kenny Washington, Geoffrey Keezer, George Mraz and Clarence Penn, and after hours Christos Rafalides is playing the late night sets with his Manhattan Vibes band. If you dig the vibes, it's the place to be. Thursday ( Feb. 17), after the last set, Joe and I are going down to Smalls to hear Hal Galper who will have our Seattle friends John Bishop (drums) and Jeff Johnson (bass). John is also one of the owners of the Origin Records label.

Bobby has been ill with emphysema for quite some time, but soldiers on. Here he is burnin' with Joe Locke on Mr. PC from, I believe, 2007: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HlNHMT2-tg

Barry Altschul

I'll have to post of photo of him with Mercer at a later time.

I think it's like "aint"! You know, "taint" no bodys bizness...

Taintradio is the creation of a really wonderful and soulful cat named Bob Rogers.

Allen, I have lots of these. Do you want complete contact information, or just the emails?

1958 here: RC Newport

"The 1975 Lincoln Center concert presented here was Thelonious Monk's last recorded performance ever, either live or in the studio. "

Mark Murphy is from Syracuse. The following Tuesday the 28th, they opened at the Vanguard.

I'm sure it relates to a recording that made a deal with the AFM, late in the last recording/broadcast ban in the 1940's.

Happy Birthday, Tom!!

I think I mentioned this before, but I have this one, but with a defective pressing. 75% of it comes out of one channel!

Here's a very good later group with Tom Harrell, Steve Goodwin and Joe La Barbera: Here's a closeup of the pin he was wearing:

"Personnel includes: Ella Fitzgerald (vocals); Ronnie Lang (alto saxophone); Bob Cooper (tenor saxophone); Don Fagerquist (trumpet); Alvin Stoller (drums); The Nelson Riddle Orchestra."

Happy Birthday, David!!

I've been addicted to George Pelecanos for a few years:

Try listening to it with some LSD and headphones. Just a thought.

Happy Birthday, Nate!!
