Randy Twizzle Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 This article ran in the Syracuse Post Standard on March 13, 1955, the day after Charlie Parker died. The news must have traveled slowly. Sadly Bird never got to play his "also" sax at Watson Dining Hall, though I'm sure Dizzy blew up a storm at Sims Dining Hall. I'm quite familir with both venues, but during my time there, nothing this exciting ever happened. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 I guess they didn't have the internet back then! How many days did it take the major media to realize Jimmy Smith had passed? Quote
slide_advantage_redoux Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) It goes on to mention that Dizzy will provide the jab...I had no idea that he was a boxer! typo city Edited March 4, 2005 by slide_advantage_redoux Quote
