Lazaro Vega Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Good to hear he's still coming back, especially on the horn. Had some very enlightening experiences with him at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, including a marvelous quartet concert with pianist Eddie Russ. Louis kept laughing to the band under the applause, "I'm too old, I'm just getting to old," but he sounded great -- right out of that Fats Navarro/Clifford Brown tradition.

king ubu Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 That's good news! I've only got his two Blue Notes and the Steeplechase "Prancin'" and like all three albums a lot! Had no idea he was still around... he's not nearly as well-known as he should be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 A favourite of mine. Sorry to hear about his stroke but good news he's still active. A well deserved tribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
