Jackie McLean - Jackie's Bag (BN RVG)

Dizzy Gillespie / Max Roach in Paris (Vogue/BMG). Just the 1949 Max Roach Quintet session for Vogue. I hate the mastering, but the music is wonderful - maybe the best early Kenny Dorham I've heard.

Dr. Elwood "Woody" Wong, the inspiration behind the above number, passed away at his home in Palo Alto, CA on Dec. 5th according to an obit printed in the San Jose Mercury News yesterday.  Dr. Wong was 90.  As a dentist, he served a number of notable musicians including Woody Herman, Stan Getz, Sonny Stitt and Richie Cole.  He was the brother of the jazz writer/broadcaster/educator, the late Dr. Herb Wong.
