BillF Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Just been listening. Some great music here! Mabern's solo on "Valerie", the first track played, is sensational! Pleased to hear there's going to be a show on latter-day Mabern. I particularly like his work with Eric Alexander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Up a final time in memory. When I saw Harold at the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis I showed him this program on my cellphone, and he seemed pleased that I’d put it together, which made me happy too. I never got around to doing a sequel.

Ken Dryden Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I interviewed Harold Mabern in the past year or so and need to put together a program with his music. His enthusiasm was contagious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Between 2003 and early 2019 I recorded a number of phone interviews with artists for transcription or articles. There's only so much space and I often have enough interview material and music to create 2 or 3 two hour programs. The hardest thing has been finding available studio time, as I can't do digital editing at home and the station has an active news department, student producers and staff competing for studio time..
