| Jazz for aficionados FWIW, the Hiromi Uehara concert last night at Sony Hall NYC was a success. Her new band really displayed a lot of telepathy and thoughtful improvisations. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Breckers, Mike Manieri band, Steve Grossman, Woody Shaw, Mike Stern, Art Blakey with a very young Wynton Marsalis and my favorite show there, Joe Henderson. All great artists. A young Wynton, Woody Shaw and Joe Henderson stand out. Did you ev... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Listening to that Horace Silver bootleg now. Yes you can hear Coltrane's influence on Brecker's playing. Thanks for posting that! | |
| Jazz for aficionados I had a feeling you hung out there. Besides the Breckers who else did you see there? I will check out the Dreams band. I like Blood Sweat and Tears and really like Chicago. Terry Kath was such a gifted musician. Not going to post any of their son... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The 70s decade was the worst by far when it concerned jazz music/artists. Michael Brecker was 21 in 1970 so I can see how people can look back on his first 10 years of preforming as pretty crappy. Especially jazz people (listeners and artists). ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Thanks for "checking in". I always appreciate your contributions. I know how much you like Michael Brecker, and I believe you once posted here on JFA that he is your favorite tenor post Coltrane/Rollins/Henderson. I have been listening... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Great example of Grolnick. Donald Fagen and Walter Brecker supposedly stated "Don Grolnick keyboard vamps so solid you could set your watch by them." Took that quote from Wiki (noat always the best source). | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Thanks for the Grolnick recommendations. I had already contemplated creating a Don Grolnick playlist on Spotify and after listening to your suggestions and "Smokin' in the Pit" by Steps Ahead (I believe Grolnick's only date with Steps) ... | |
