J Larsen Posted May 17, 2003 Report Posted May 17, 2003 I was born the same day (but not the same year) that John Coltrane died. Quote
Guest Mnytime Posted May 17, 2003 Report Posted May 17, 2003 (edited) I don't think I am born on the same day (June 26) as any jazz musicians but for a bit of interesting strange but true factoid. I am born on the same day as my father, grandfather, a great-uncle and 2nd cousin and my great-grandfather was born by 10 minutes a day earlier. Edited May 17, 2003 by Mnytime Quote
bertrand Posted May 17, 2003 Report Posted May 17, 2003 Jackie McLean and Dewey Redman both turn 72 TODAY!!! Bertrand. Quote
J Larsen Posted May 17, 2003 Report Posted May 17, 2003 Billie Holiday also died on my birthday (again, not the same year). Quote
Alexander Posted May 17, 2003 Report Posted May 17, 2003 I'm sure that some famous jazz person shares my birthday, but the only famous person I know of who was born on December 28th was Stan Lee... Quote

Joe Chambers *1942 Bill Russo *1928 Find them all here: http://www.jazzpages.com/jzzbirth_fr.htm Thanks for the link. Though Chambers and Russo appear to be born on Jun 25th. For the 26th they have Dave Grusin *1934 Reggie Workman *1937 For my mother's birthday of April 6th there is Gene Bertoncini *1937 Bill Hardman *1933 Gerry Mulligan *1927 Andre Previn *1929 Charlie Rouse *1924 Manfred Schoof *1936 Horace Tapscott *1934 Art Taylor *1929 Randy Weston *1926 For my middle brother. Nothing for my youngest. Sept 19th Muhal Richard Abrams *1930 Lol Coxhill *1932 Wolfgang Lackerschmidt *1956 Another interesting strange but true factoid I forgot to mention to my family affinity to June 26th. All of us where the first born child and the year we where born had a 5 in the last digit of the year and with at least my immediate part of the family born 30 years apart. Ex 1875, 1905, 1935, 1965. Since I will be turning 38 I ruin the 30 year apart part since I don't have any children at the moment. You can no change the channel from the Outer Limits. Quote

Late Posted May 18, 2003 Report Posted May 18, 2003 (edited) When Andrew Hill turns 66 this June 30th, I will be exactly half his age. I don't know what it is about sharing a birthdate with someone you admire ... you just feel (sound of Fred Rogers' voice) "special." Wasn't Hill born in Haiti? I'm trying to imagine that country in the 30's. Edited May 18, 2003 by Late Quote
bertrand Posted May 18, 2003 Report Posted May 18, 2003 Andrew Hill was born in Chicago. Bertrand. Quote

I like that Toots is in there. A master of melody. B) Quote
randyhersom Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 (edited) Thanks, Jim, but the site disagrees with two other sources on Mose Allison's birthday. I share a birthday with Marvin Hannibal Peterson, Ernestine Anderson, Gunther Schuller and Mose Allison if my other two sources are right. Edited May 19, 2003 by randyhersom Quote
jazzbo Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Yeah, Hill being born in Haiti was just BS concocted by Andrew, like the spelling "Hille" that went with it or before it. Quote
mikeweil Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 21 February Tadd Dameron *1917 Al Sears *1910 Nina Simone *1933 Warren Vache *1951 Not bad, but Jim, how come your list is so impressive? Except for the lucky guy who shares his birthday with the Duke... Quote
