Guest Bill Barton Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Yes indeed, the Earl Hines material on Chiaroscuro is wonderful, including Live at the New School. Bonafide classics all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hank O'Neal was involved in producing the SS Norway jazz cruises for awhile. When I was on Woody's band (in the 80s, when Woody was still around) we did several of them. Usually they came after we had done several months on the bus w/very few nights off. The cruises were a great hang for the band, we played a few gigs but had lots of time to hang, which we did to no end. Some of the artists we backed up included Cab Calloway, Joe Williams, Mel Torme, Dizzy, Clark Terry, Flip Phillips, Ruby Braff, Scott Hamlton and Al Cohn, among others. It was great to get to meet, play with and hang with those guys. We would stay up all night (the "crew" bar was a favorite place) and do cruise ship stuff during the day, stops in Nassau, St. Thomas, St. Martin etc. There was a great place for margaritas up at the top of a mountain in St. Thomas. Often the guys in the band would bring their wives and/or girlfriends along- a couple times Maria Schneider came along, when she was hanging with John Fedchock. Great times! I miss those days...... Usually by the time it was over we were exhausted (as well as lightly breaded and fried). Big fun though! Great memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
