Just Friends - Milt and Bobby

Milt and Bobby. They always pull down Milt stuff so watch it now before it's too late (dixit Tony Miceli)...
So believe him and watch! (MN)

Daily Motion Introduction:
Jazz vibes giant Milt Jackson (1923 - 1999) in one of his last performances. With him, Michael LeDonne on piano, Pierre Boussaguet on bass, and the legendary Mickey Roker on drums. At this point, Milt Jackson brings Bobby Hutcherson onstage for a duet on the venerable standard "Lady Be Good", a fitting finale for this great concert, and it's roger and out from Salzau, Germany, 1999.

In Response to Dana's Blog

Man I just read Dana's blog. he's right, the opportunity is here, we should ALL be blogging. Well no should's or shouldn'ts as my wife would say. But blogging would help the learning process here.

I wish the pros would blog more often. Just talk about what's up and talk about what's going on in there heads.

I can relate to Dana listening back to himself. I always said, if I had my own music college:

Mandatory recording device for each student.
Mandatory Journal (daily)
Mandatory Recording yourself playing several things each day.

Tap Dancer Maurice Chestnut: 100 % percussion geek! :o)

When Gary told us about his childhood, we had a little talk about tap dancing.

Having a look on Joe Locke's agenda, I saw that he will be performing at Jazz Baltica (Germany) in July, with young tap dancer Maurice Chestnut and a few other percussionists. The title of the performance is : "Percussion Discussion".

Whao!! I'd love to be a little mouse and attend!… But who knows, maybe there will be some video on Youtube…
