John L Posted Tuesday at 11:20 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 11:20 PM Another great one has left us. He somehow never had the recording opportunities that he deserved. But what he left us is precious. Quote

GA Russell Posted Wednesday at 07:02 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 07:02 AM RIP. I picked up this Groove Holmes album when it first came out. Is that Freeman on the cover? Quote

My 11 or 12 year-old self stopped everything to watch that show (on Tuesday night?) as well as Chris Albertson's "The Jazz Set" back in those days. I'd record the shows on cassettes and take them to my "workshop" to play along with them the next day. Edited 15 hours ago by rostasi Quote
