duaneiac Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 10 hours ago, BillF said: I saw him play in 1959 with a Gillespie quintet that included Junior Mance and Sam Jones. I believe that after his spell in the jazz limelight he fell on very hard times. Nice that you got to see & hear Les Spann play in person. I'm sorry to hear his life had an unhappy ending. The last recordings I saw on Wikipedia for him were from 1966 (albums led by Sonny Stitt and Lockjaw Davis), yet he lived until Jan. 1989. So what was he doing for those final 22 years?

Buddha the Magnificent Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 Misha Alperin - The Blue Fjords (1993, RDM). Misha Alperin - piano. Got interested in him with his 2007 ECM recording Her First Dance. Really nice compositions. Quote

I read about it but don't remember where. Someone on this well-informed board will know. Quote
Bluesnik Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 An album I like a lot by one of my two favorite, together with Hampton Hawes, west coast pianists. Quote
