I see from that link that Sweetwater was on the show. They were one of the bands that played Woodstock, but were left off the record and film, like Bert Sommer and Mountian.

As a builder, I find this to be quite amazing, to say the least. He must have the thickest head in mankind or they were very short, small finishing nails. It still must have hurt like hell!

The fakeness, for a better word, repulses me too. Some wise critic called his live performances like a Broadway show about rock n' roll, or something to that effect. The jean jacket with the work boots, the western outfit with the bolo tie and the fake blusey/rough voice make me cringe. He reminds me of John Hammond. I never like John Hammond Jr.'s fake pseudo delta yelping either. Son House, he's not. No matter how much whiskey he drinks. And his saxophone player is worse. Sorry!

Yes, the same Noal, who lives in N.J. and is a esteemed discographer.

The Hat: The hat made its first appearance in the year 1969, when Chuck was just beginning to feel loose and natural as a musician and as a man. The era of the jazz musician wearing black tie and tails was finally crumbling in Rochester, New York, where Chuck was born in late 1940. "Everybody was uptight with all those tails. That had to be wiped away so musicians could feel free like they naturally feel." When Bill and Marie Tedeschi gave him the now classic hat as a Christmas present, Chuck wore it. The picture that appeared on the cover of that first album, Friends & Love, (Mercury SRM 1-631) became an image. Early hat/partial hat music you may find interesting: Flugelhornist Chuck Mangione became a household name during the 1970s and '80s due to some pop hits, but this LP (now out-of-print) actually contains his finest playing. Mangione, who also contributes some background electric piano, teams up here with Gerry Niewood (tripling on tenor, soprano and flute), electric bassist Tony Levin and drummer Steve Gadd. Together they stretch out on lengthy versions of "High Heel Sneakers," "Legend of the One-Eyed Sailor," "Sixty-Miles Young" and "St. Thomas." The fire heard during these performances is a sharp contrast to Mangione's more popular recordings. Well worth searching for. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

This is a great example of the music these guys made at that time. Balls out burnin'.

Yes, Larry Combs is a '61 Eastman Graduate: From Noal Cohen's site: The Chuck Mangione Quintet rehearsing at Mangione's home in 1960 - Note the Dizzy Gillespie designed trumpet. Left to right: Chuck Mangione, trumpet; Larry Combs, alto saxophone; Paul Tardif, piano; Dick Samson, Bass; Noal Cohen, drums. The extremely gifted and versatile Larry Combs is prinicipal clarinetist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and has also performed with the unique Chicago jazz ensemble known as Ears. On March 5, 1999, Combs appeared in New York with the American Saxophone Quartet to premier Mike Holober's Views From a Train. He can be heard on the recently reissued Riverside album, The Jazz Brothers, with Chuck and Gap Mangione, recorded in 1960. Photo courtesy of Paul Hoeffler.

Joe Chambers plays drums.

I agree with the caveat that he wrote, at one time, some beautiful melodies. When he had that youth band, he trained many, young people in Rochester and showed them the love, and fun, in playing music.

In 1968, Chuck began his teaching career by creating an all-city/county high school jazz ensemble and by joining the faculty of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester.

Together is one with Steve Gadd, another Rochester boy. Still lives here in the suburbs. Here's Steve with Basie in 1961, at Birdland:

That really makes our concern for poor Tiger moot! Now if you really want to feel concern for the guy, here's a picture of that homely wife of his. Remember when the sports guys were saying marriage might ruin his career?

Yea, the ones made in 1943. I collected pennies as a kid and still check them every once in a while.

Hibiscus is a stunning composition written by Keezer. It can be heard on Storms/Nocturnes By Tim Garland along with Keezer and Joe Locke.

I love that one; I have a soft spot for it. What ever happened to David Lee? I believe Masou is in NYC.

It's amazing! I never HEARD of anyone being able to negotiate a bank into a lower margin. Just shows how different things are. MG Sometimes, all you have to do is ask. In my case, my home was one that the bank ( Chase) " portfolioed ". That is they kept the mortage instead of selling it because the loan to value ratio was so high. They reduced their margin ( profit in percentage ) by 18 basis points.
