Easy chair McLean is rare, but if you want to try to take it easy with Jackie, Swing, Swang, Swingin' may be his sleepiest, but I'm still on edge; I still want to know every note he plays! With that, have a good night, my friend. Now: The Fabulous Fats Navarro, Vol. 1. Japanese Mini LP RVG. Both volumes, Japanese Mini RVG's Well "Swing Swang Swingin´" is interesting for the tunes if I remember it right: I think I got the idea to play "Let´s Face the Music and Dance" just from that source. That tune is so strong with the alterations from minor key to major key. The original version from the 40´s is slower, but it´s always important to know the original source to get your own brand of playing it. The Fats Navarro Blue Not I bought in the mid 70´s when there where those Double LP sets , I had one with Monk, and one with Fats. I remember only that I was pissed of there is always two versions of one and the same song. Here it´s early evening now, I slowly get things settled.... 21 hours ago, Kevin Bresnahan said: Is Kirk still playing? He turns 88 in two weeks, so I would not be shocked to hear he has stopped playing. How says that Dexter Song (written by Cables who had the piano chair before Ligthsey came in) ? "I told you so" 😄 Kirk Lightsey looks wonderful and plays wonderful and was 2 weeks ago here in town, and in 2024 also. He played mostly Wayne Shorter tunes and I met him after the gig and we talked about 15 minutes about music, what else ? Quote

Somehow I had supposed that it might have been in the late 70´s or early 80´s, when more acoustic jazz artists made records for Columbia, especially Dexter Gordon. Since Dex and J.J. is same generation I made the wrong link that it was the same with J.J. (comeback of acoustic jazz). Thanks for correcting my mistake ! Quote
