I got to hear him just once at Sweet Basil. I recall he had Jerome Richardson on tenor sax.

It sure was!

Yesterday, a rare morning concert from Dr. L. Subramaniam at Windmills in The Colony (far North Dallas). The nature of the group/performance was unclear in the advertisements (Indian classical? Jazz?). It turned out to be a jazz group. L Subramaniam was amazing on violin. The musicians in the group (guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, drums and two percussionists) were unfamiliar to me, except the guitarist I heard with Christian McBride at the Big Ears festival this year. The group was terrific, as were the compositions performed, including John Handy's Spanish Lady. Great sound in the club as well. The concert was thrilling. Afterwards in the afternoon, to the Lewisville Grand Theater for some Indian Classical Music from Carnatic veena master Vid. Rajeswari Pariti. Accompanied by a second veena player (her son) and a percussionist, she was pretty awesome on the veena. Another winner.

I really like Herlin Riley but that appears to be a rather short set. Looks like the place to be to see the Alice Coltrane dedicated set that follows.

Wayne Shorter, Celebration volume 1 (Blue Note)

The great New Orleans drummer Shannon Powell is in dire straits. https://www.nola.com/entertainment_life/keith_spera/new-orleans-drummer-shannon-powell-recovering-from-stroke/article_efce1b2a-6163-11ef-a7f0-6b40617d443d.html#tncms-source=the-latest

Phil Woods, Song forSisyphus (Century Direct to Disc)

That's terrible. I saw him with Ron Carter a couple of times, and the last time I saw Geri Allen.

Kid Thomas, The First Recordings (American Music)

Paramount Blues: Early Morning Blues (Black Swan) Paramount Blues: Lock and Key Blues (Black Swan)

There are six Vegan or Vegetarian items on the menu (marked with a V or VG). The food is actually pretty good. I've been there three times and really enjoyed the music (Ben Allison, Billy Harper, and Charles McPherson).

I've never been to Detroit but this festival sure looks like it is worth attending.

You might want to investigate more deeply. Ellington is much more than an arranger's piano. He's one of my favorite pianists. There are plenty of solo, duo, trio, and small group recordings.

Duke Ellington, The Pianist

Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, Live at Nightstage (Cleopatra Blues)

Mr. Keepnews was an active participant in the AOL Jazz Forum. I recall him as an interesting if gruff character.

I had a similar problem this week. I was ripping a CD to iTunes and it refused to do so. Then I noticed that my entire music library was gone. However, I tried a restart and everything went back to normal--my library reappeared and I could rip CDs.

Jimmy Smith, Angel Eyes: ballads and slow jams (Verve)

Initial Lineup announcement for 2025 incoming on September 10.

Dollar Brand Trio, Anatomy of a South African Village

The Uptown Jazz Orchestra

Per Wikipedia, "Grauer died of a sudden heart attack in December 1963, and the company filed for voluntary bankruptcy in July 1964."
