If you post here on the site, you'll see some reorganization starting. The first thing you'll see is in the boxes where you post. We're rearranging the 'Type' categories. Everything is still there, just being moved around.

Over the next 2 weeks, there should be a shift in the front page and some other things. Please hang in there with us. I think it will make the site a little better for us all.

Any questions, just let me know.

I didn't know this one, it has some cool and unseen features in it !
Check it out

I think it is sometimes hard to find a lot of Bobby Hutcherson stuff. He doesn't have loads of cd's with him as a leader, but he did a lot of stuff as a sideman. So there is a guy who put a list on amazon with Bobby Hutcherson on cd's as a sideman! So check it out. I'm gonna post these cd's to the cd library book also.

Man, we saw 4 people online! John Piper Told me there was a lot of you online. Damn, what happened? I thought wow, no one has questions. Oh man. Piper said there were lots of questions. I ended early because it seemed like no one was there. Something went wrong.

Before playing with Gary Burton, Richard Galliano played with french vibists.
I found an old vidéo on youtube with Philippe Macé on Vibes.
The trio is :
R.Galliano on accordion, JC Capon on Cello, And P.Macé on Vibes.
Philippe used to be part of the ensemble Intercontemporain created by P.Boulez.He quited this ensemble to become a fulltime jazzman.
I think David Friedman knows him, maybe he'll say a word.

I like the sound of the trio and the vibes solo at the end.
I'd say the video is from early 80s.

Just thought I'd pass this along!

I played jazz at a funeral today. And I was late because someone died on the way to the gig. Right on the street, and I got stuck behind the ambulance that was in the middle of the road. I couldn't back up because of the line of cars behind me.

There was this dead guy and then the dead guy at the funeral. This was weird. What pissed me off was that the ambulance blocked the street even after everyone knew that the guy was dead. They all sat there looking at him and talking... and of course looking at the growing line of cars.

There are a few of you using the annotations. Subscribers will see it on each page. They can keep notes and then go there account page and see an 'annotations' tab. There they can read there annotations and then click to go back to the article.

Annotations are really helpful!

Ahmad Jamal and Gary Burton play a tune called "One", not the one from "A Chorus Line."
This is from the early eighties at a foreign jazz festival. I'm not sure if it's Montreux. This tune has an African flavor to it. I have the LP from which this performance is taken. Jamal and Burton have never worked together before and, to my knowledge hadn't worked together since.
