sheldonm Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 There is the annual West Coast Jazz event put on by Ken Poston and the LA Jazz Institute this Thursday-Sunday. I'll be there from Friday-Sunday....if anyone from the LA area is attending, send me a PM http://lajazzinstitute.org/images/e.pdf I went to the event last year as well and had a great time. Fun event to attend if you like WCJ and the opportunity to chat with the musicians. Mark~ Quote

Adam Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 I had been thinking of going to a few concerts - not the whole thing, although I've been to a couple of the festivals in teh past. But I haven't gotten any tickets yet, and my weekend seems to be filling up with other things. I woudl like to see the Clare Fisher & Bill Holman Big Bands. Quote

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 is that all that is left of WCJ? Quote
sidewinder Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 is that all that is left of WCJ? Sadly, the roll call is badly depleted since 1999 when I caught one of these excellent events. Names from that event that come to mind that are no longer with us include Lou Levy, Harold Land, Conte Candoli, Teddy Edwards, Cy Touff, Bob Enevoldsen - just for starters. Fortunately, the great Bill Holman is still going strong. Quote
