That photo is by Dennis Stock . It only says 1958 on the details.

There's a song in there, clem! And aint it the truth.

Here a link for Beehive Records Discography Jim Neumann, the label owner is still around in Chicago, I believe. Chuck Nessa and Mark Sheldon can help. Here's a article about him and his dontation to Oberlin: The Roof That Jazz Is Raising Could photographer Joe Rizzi be related to the owner of Master Sound Ben Rizzi?

I mst correct you that the drummer is the very fine DAN Weiss.

Wasn't the lead singer his wife?

Happy Birthday Allen!!

Here'a link to Zan Stewart's review of Thursday night: Heath Review Sorry to say that the Iridium is not one of my favorite places.

Nice post, Matk Stryker. Don't forget that Freddie could play the shit out of the flugelhorn too. One of the better practitioners, in my estimation.

Hey Laz, Happy Birthday!

This is for you, Clifford:

Cindy Blackman's the Man...er, girl

Soul Station has one of the all time great Blue Note songs (and song titles): THIS I DIG OF YOU.

For the life of me, I couild never finish a Burroughs book.

Chuck, I knew there was something really wrong when I saw his collection go down to just a few LPs.

Kiener told me that once when they were playing in Vegas, that Frank sent over a couple of pounds of pot for the boys in the band. How true, I can't say, but it sounds like a nice gesture!

While I'm at it, here's a Buddy Rich Quartet with Steve Marcus, Mike Boone on bass and my best friend Barry Kiener on piano, about six months before Barry died:

Mark, I've got to say that's Joe Romano on alto also. Thanks!

Bexause I had friends who played in Buddy's band over the years, I saw the band more than most people, and I never, ever, saw Buddy play a set that he didn't mean or a solo that didn't thrill. You can't say that aboput many performers. Here's a clip made at the Top of the Plaza, in my hometown, Rochester, N.Y. I saw many big bands there that played for a week at a time: Buddy, Kenton, Herman, Freguson, Thad & Mel etc. I even saw a Buddy Rich Trio there with Jimmy McGriff and Illinois Jacquet. This band had a Rochester area native (Mt. Morris), Pat LaBarbera:

I got the same thing yesterday, Chris. On my Mac.

I always dug this one: Jazz trivia: Joe LaBarbera once told me that the owner of the club was drunk and laying on the stage with his head next to the bass drum.

I also saw the Rivers-Holland-Altschul Trio, but no photos, Here's a couple more of the duet with Joe Daley:
