"Miles on Steve Allen."

I was in a jazz supper club in LA a long time ago, and Steve Allen was one of the diners, sitting a few tables from me. Needless to say, the MC hassled him enough to come on stage and play a little, and Steve Allen played some great jazz piano.

Woo Hoo !!

Just got my AC/DC tickets for their upcoming tour.

AC/DC LIVE! "You Shook Me"

Hey Bill and Zat. Don't be shy to be on the other thread as well....We don't want to split up the family too much....ahahhahahaha

Sweet.

I saw and heard Brubeck in San Antonio just a few years ago.

When he came out (It was at Trinity University.), the audience spontaneously stood in utter silence.

Sweet.

Good for you. Yuck.

I love rock as much as I love many other kinds of music. Some of us have really varied tastes in music.

The "Blue Note sound"...

"Some of us have really varied tastes in music."

Me too, as anyone who's seen my music posts on Rex's threads knows.

Was so sad when Byard died. I was lucky enough to see him in a small (100 seat?) venue about a year earlier. Very funny stream of consciousness guy. He'd toss off an extended, technically remarkable Mingus piece, then go into a Gershwin medley... then make some stray comment, and play a tune he had already played. A few bars into Besame Mucho, he stopped and told a story about an outdoor concert in Spain where he seemed to inspire a dog -- and then started playing again, interspersing "woof woof"'s: Be - sa-me... WOOF WOOF Be-sa-me Muuuuuuuuuuu-
cho...............
WOOF!

WHAT WAS THAT???

You never heard that one before? It's a classic.

I LOVE that piece -- it was my intro to Mingus, and I still never tire of it.

Yeah, they are.

CUT IT OUT you guys! You kept me up way too late last night.

Morris -- I meant to look for an MJQ cut last night after Nulli posted something with Bobby Hutcherson. Millions of years ago when I tended bar in a jazz club, we spent the better part of a weekend hoping that Milt Jackson, who was sitting in the audience both nights, would eventually accept Ray Brown's invitation to sit in with his trio. (A local vibist had spotted Jackson the first night, and brought his vibes in.)

Eventually he did. I don't even remember what they played anymore, but it was one of those special moments.

Going "Worldly", eh?
