Wayne Dockery

[slide_advantage_redoux]

I was thinking about bassist/groovemeister Wayne Dockery lately and was wondering what he is up to. Is he still active as a player...healthy, etc?

Anybody know?

[Michael Fitzgerald]

Yes, still active, no problems that I know of. Plays with Bobby Few, Zusaan Kali Fasteau, and others.

I didn't realize/know until today that Wayne Dockery's older brother was Sam Dockery, the pianist.

Never knew they were brothers either. Interesting!

I had supposed they were brothers. 

Sam Dockery I only know from a Blakey LP from 1957 "Plays Lerner and Lowe" which I got coincidentally in the 70´s while looking for a Blakey Album.....

Well, nice pianist, but I didn´t hear nothing so special, I mean compared with other pianists who played with Blakey or vice versa.

I didn't know they were related either.

Some fine Sam Dockery solo piano (and talking) here: https://freshairarchive.org/guests/sam-dockery

Always had a weak spot for Sam Dockery ever since I first heard him in the early 1960s.
