I spoke to Jimmy via email and he told me he did a lot of shows of this nature in NYC and doesn't remember anything that stands out from this particular gig. I talked to him at length about other things a couple months ago and he's got a good memory so maybe this show wasn't as memorable in person as it appears to be on paper??

david weiss Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 These were an annual event for a few years and there was an annual trumpet one as well. One of the trumpet concerts came out as a Trip LP in the '70s and it was reissued by Fresh Sound a few years ago. I was asked to listen to it to identify the soloists and write the liner notes and I spoke to Jim Harrison who was one of the producers of these events. He gave me fliers to a lot of the shows (one was used for the cover of the Fresh Sound issue). I have these scanned but I've never been able to figure out how to upload anything here (I'm not good at that sort of thing). If someone can walk me through it or if someone is willing to do it for me (I can e-mail them) I'll be happy to post them or let them be posted.

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 what is the JAZZMOBILE!?!??!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcello Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) Chewy, you might want to open a JAZZMOBILE thread for those with fond memories ansd about current concerts. Briefly the Jazzmobile takes the music to the streets (on a old beer float) in the NYC area, but they used to go on a short tour of Upstate and Western New York cities in August. When it rained, they found a place inside: Edited November 10, 2008 by marcello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
