Hardbopjazz Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 The only ones that come to the top of my head are Max Roach and Hank Jones. Are there any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceH Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 (edited) Roy Haynes ← Yeah. Now that Lucky Thompson has passed away, he's the only one who comes readily to mind. (Aside from Max Roach and Hank Jones that is.) Edited September 23, 2005 by BruceH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceH Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I knew that some names would come up that I'd totally overlooked. Isn't it awesome that McShann is still alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I remember being totally amazed that he was still musically active when I saw him in Toronto but that was 15 years ago.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it awesome that McShann is still alive? ← Even weirder to think I own some of his recent releases http://www.stonyplainrecords.com/Web/artist.asp?id=394 sidewinder - he still returns to Toronto regularly. As recent as April of this year. Not bad for an 89 year old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to hear. It was at the Cafe des Copains where I saw him in solo recital (now the Montreal Bistro, I think). Great show. Around the same time I also saw Sir Charles Thompson (another one for the Bird list, I think). Stony Plain - that's a great little label out of Edmonton, Alberta Edited September 23, 2005 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Sir Charles Thompson is still around? That's great, too. I always liked his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
