clifford_thornton Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 Birthday wishes to one of the most visceral and exciting altoists of the Blue Note generation. Here's for many more birthdays, alto flights and flute handiwork to come! Quote
ep1str0phy Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 Many blessings! Nice to know that one of the true firestarters of 60's post/hard-bop is alive and kicking--hopefully there's a lot more fuel to burn... and someone get this guy back on more high-profile gigs! He's been wonderful where he's had the chance, as of late (e.g., Billy Bang's Vietnam: Reflections). Quote

sidewinder Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) I see he's been touring with David Weiss and the 'Cookers' group ! Fabulous player and a highlight of many a late-60s Blue Note session. (especially the Hubbards and my favourite of his, Sam Rivers 'Dimensions and Extensions'). Happy Birthday to Mr Spaulding.
