| Jazz for aficionados nspThanks for the link I like her. Was not aware of her. That's at the Iridium club on 51st and Broadway, NYC. Less Paul used to play there every Monday night until he died. I have been down those stairs to many times to count!! | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok2cidThere are many newer jazz artists that still play the kind of jazz I believe you like. Just go on Amazons website, sample some of the music, and keep checking your local jazz venues to see if they are coming to town!I could name them and po... | |

| Jazz for aficionados nsp-Coltrane left halfway through the tour and was replace by Sonny Stitt. I have all of these concerts on separate cd's already so I have no need for the new "bootleg" set. The Coltrane interview is from the Stockholm cd here. https://www.amazon.... | |
