Nice! I had Paul Ferguson for two of my jazz classes! Ferguson managed to get Lester Bowie to come in and lecture, with horn, for over an hour. What a priceless treat that was. Ferguson was not only a good prof, but a very nice guy. I think I'm going to try to make it out for this one.

Nice to see all my Ohio jazz bone brothers getting together!

Paul Ferguson is a great guy and a great writer, as is Vaughn Wiester (from Columbus). Chas Baker runs the jazz studies program at Kent State. I first moved to the area when I got married in '99- I taught part-time at Youngstown State and played with the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra. A lot of very talented musicians out there! How's my friend (trumpeter) Jack Schantz doing?

But "Bon' Swa"??? Hmmm.....may have to throw a flag on that one.

Edit: BTW, when I was teaching at Youngstown, the program was at that time being led by the late Tony Leonardi. Tony was a wonderful person, a great educator and happened to have been the bassist on Woody Herman's Basin Street West sessions which were finally collected and organized for the Mosaic single release.

It was a priviledge to have gotten to know and work with him. The program is now (I believe) being led by another talented and great guy, saxophonist Kent Englehardt.

I think Jack Schantz is teaching at Akron-not sure what he's doing on the recording scene, but I do recall seeing one of his disks at Half Price awhile back.

jack and ron busch(bopstop owner) are pals.

he runs the cleveland jazz orchestra, and is a beast on trumpet/fleugel. aloc has seen him at the bopstop a number of times and had several long chats with jack about the music.

the orchestra used to be at the bopstop every monday night. a stellar unit with beautiful arrangements.

hoping this info isnt outdated.
