My wife and I are proud to present Fred Hersch in concert on Tuesday, April 21st at 7:30 pm EDT. This concert is a benefit for my station, WUTC-FM, where a I served as development director from 1989 to 2015. If you know of anyone living close to Chattanooga (Nashville, Knoxville, Atlanta and Huntsville are all close enough to make the drive), please let them know about the concert. Fred Hersch has played in the Atlanta area a few times but this is his first appearance in Chattanooga. https://calendar.utc.edu/event/fred-hersch?utm_campaign=widget&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=University+of+Tennessee+at+Chattanooga&_gl=1*1m0gudx*_gcl_au*MjA2ODMzMzg5NC4xNzY3NzM1MzE0

I finally found this long out of print gem on ebay at a reasonable price. Still searching for Volume 2.

Disc 2, Carla Bley: Roller Coaster

My introduction to Bernie Senensky was hearing him on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz. Like many Canadian artists who recorded for Canadian labels, I had no exposure to his recordings until I started getting serviced with his music.

This week I received two shipments on back to back days from The Lost Recordings, though I only ordered one copy of each release. I contacted them and asked for their FedEx number, and they responded that I would have to prepay to return it and they would credit me on a future order or refund the shipping charge on my credit card. There are several issues I have with this reply. One is I had to supply a new box, neither one was in any shape to be reused, two, I seem to be taking the risk in case the returned package is lost or stolen and I get stuck filing insurance claims. I am tempted to reject their solution and ask for a better one, like my getting an estimate from FedEx, ask them to refund my credit card that amount, then I will ship the box. How would you reply to this situation?

Love that strip!

I remember attending a Nat Hentoff interview one year at IAJE and it was enjoyable.

This John Coltrane set was not available as a CD set. The CDs I bought were the Sarah Vaugan 1969 and 1975 titles.

I received a rather beat up box from The Lost Recordings yesterday, though the LPs and CDs were intact in spite of the badly torn cardboard. I haven't had a chance to listen to the John Coltrane set yet, but I am looking forward to it. A second shipment arrived today, duplicating my order. I await a reply from them about that, it would be a rather expensive error.

So do I have May? I requested either April or May back on October 21.

Her vocal duets with Eddie Erickson were always fun at jazz parties.

I met her years ago at the Triangle Jazz Party in Kingsport, Tennessee, I think her first Arbors CD was fairly new. I got to know her over the years attending both the Triangle and Atlanta Jazz Parties, my wife and I were also present for one night of the Feinstein’s recording. Don’t overlook her CDs as a part of the group BED with Eddie Errickson and Dan Barrett.

I didn't find out about it until 2005.

When I lived in Broward County, jazz offerings were slim. I never made it to Bubba's, but I did catch one great evening in Sunrise while visiting home from either grad school or work, a show that opened with Oscar Peterson solo, followed by Ella Fitzgerald with Count Basie & His Orchestra. I think Butch Miles was his drummer.
