I just got an email from Bruno and he implied that he did not make the post about Clifford Brown. Bruno does have a fine sense of humor so I was not surprised except I've never known him to be sarcastic. He is very up-beat.
However I do think the Miles Cosnat bit is funny :-)
"The Jazz Brothers, Hey Baby!, Spring Fever and Recuerdo are all good listens and I especially enjoy those that feature Sal Nistico."
Ditto to that! I had two of the Mangione Brothers Riverside LPs in the early sixties and played them often. I talked to Sal once in 1983 about them and his work with Herman. I told him how much I was impressed with his articulation, his tonguing. He said, "Yeah...I don't do that anymore". (or something like that) I took it to mean that he could do it when he was young. Nice fellow, great player!
