ghost of miles Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Thought I'd pass this along: n the list of jazz’s might-have-beens, pianist-composer Dick Twardzik (1931-1955) ranks high. A genuine innovator, he left only a small body of recorded work, including half of a piano-trio LP and memorable sessions as a sideman with baritone saxophonist Serge Chaloff and trumpeter Chet Baker. Twardzik, brief as his career was, pointed the way towards important developments in the following decades. The show will air this Sunday, November 25, from 11 p.m. to midnight, Eastern Standard Time. If you live outside the New York City metropolitan area, WBGO 88.3 also broadcasts on the Internet. I still want to do a Twardzik Night Lights and am still waiting for Jack Chambers' bio to come out....which (through no fault of his) may be a long, long time.

Lazaro Vega Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 That date with Bird in Boston is something else, especially "Don't Blame Me." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Twardzik Night Lights ever happen? (My googling tells me “no”.) And was the WBGO broadcast archived? — is there a link out there? (Still looking for that myself, haven’t found it.)

Second that one too & so would Stonewall (Dan S - another board member), both of us having communicated with Jack Chambers in the past BTW Jack's bio of Dick T was published in 2008 https://www.amazon.com/Bouncin-Bartok-Incomplete-Richard-Twardzik/dp/1551281414 looks like it's OOP though second hand copies are circulating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, never got to this, though I suppose I still could—just pulled that Pacific piano-trio Mosaic Select off the shelf the other day, actually. And yes, the Chambers book did come out… I can’t even remember now what I’d heard about some possible indefinite delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow ... THAT long ago?? Time sure flies ... This doesn't make me feel any younger now ... 😕😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
