graaspiano Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) John Graas's MySpace website Someone from France just created this webpage for John Graas (French horn, Third Stream, West Coast Jazz). It's pretty nice and includes some free tracks to listen to down further on the page. Edited April 8, 2010 by graaspiano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat5 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 He was the first "jazz" musician I met. In LA. I was 13. He, my father and I had dinner in a bar. First time for that too :-) After rehearsal, before the concert. He was a pleasant guy but that's all I remember. 1961. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 His Jazz Studio 1 was one of the first jazz records I owned. As a result it's always had a mythical status for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Nice (and long overdue) website for John Graas! He took part in so many of the great West Coast jazz sessions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 excellent writer, I have that Stuido One album - I always thought they should call one of his albums "Smokin...." (of course I'm probably pronouncing his name incorrectly) - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 The true "Duke of Dubuque", I guess Nice site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graaspiano Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 The true "Duke of Dubuque", I guess Nice site! Yes, John and my whole family were from Dubuque, Iowa. I'm hoping the Dubuque Symphony is going to perform John's "Jazz Symphony". They're interested in doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually tried to email Tom, but you never know with spamblockers, if he actually received the email. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
