One is 20,1 MB and the other one is 25,1 MB
Too big???
I can try if you want to - just send me a message with your e-mail address, I'm working from a new machine and don't have all my "old" addresses here.
Ok?

Thanks for the video of "Jaws" and "Griff." I love them and yes, I sure have the recording you speak of. I did get to hear them live a couple of times at the Blue Note in NYC and it was always exciting. I believe the rhythm section with Griff's regular rhythm section, Michael Weiss, the late Dennis Irwin and Kenny Washington.

Just "making the rounds" and checking in. Hoping all is well with you.

Are you attending any of the jazz fests up your way this year? I've always wanted to go to the Montreal Jazz Fest, but don't feel bad that I can't go now...would have loved to be there in the 70's or even early/mid 8O's.

Take care,
Marla

At 12:51pm on July 1, 2009, Marla said…: Wow, Denis...thanks! I am a long-time fan of Stevie's.

The only sadness is that so many of the great jazz musicians I heard live at jazz festivals back in the 70's/80's are gone now and there are so few jazz players with the ability to fill seats. That being said, how wonderful to have Stevie Wonder!!!

Thanks for sharing the video clip.

At 9:17pm on October 17, 2009, Glenn Zottola said…: thanks Denis and i appreciate that. I am known as a trumpet player first as you may know and then alto. Tenor is a love that i haven't had the time to pursue in my busy career and now i am attempting to complete that. All the tracks that i post on Tenor are "scratch tracks" i did in my home in preperation for this album. Your feedback is welcomed. In my career i have played extensively with so many greats like Benny Goodman, Gerry Mulligan, Zoot Sims etc. Unfortunately i never had the upportunity to play with Stan but my goal is to incorporate all these influences into this tenor album in my own way and definetly "from the heart" as you say is the "springboard". By the way where are you in Canada ? I had some very good times up there with Bob Wilber in the 80s. best,Glenn

At 9:48pm on October 18, 2009, Glenn Zottola said…: thanks Denis and your imput is valuable. I want this tenor album to be special and "soulful" for sure. Speaking of Zoot i have this great gig we did together and i will try to put it on the site. Zoot, Myself , Teddy Wilson, Milt Hinton and Gus Johnson. Just couldn't find any good players :) I was in Toronto with Wilbur but years ago i played a beautiful theater in Montreal with full orchestra with a french bandleader who had a big hit at the time and the name escapes me now ? Love Montreal especially those days in the 70s. Glenn

At 4:44am on October 29, 2009, Paul Wood said…: You are probably right about Lou Levy on that track. I believe the quartet included Leroy Vinnegar on bass and Shelley Manne on drums, all good old West Coasters and not a single one with us any more. P.S. I have not heard the track, "Of Thee I Sing."

At 5:43pm on October 29, 2009, Hilde Hefte said…: Hi Denis.
How are you?
Hope you're good.
Watched the videos you found for Bev - They're beautiful!!!!
Love and hugs
Hilde

At 11:24am on November 29, 2009, Denis Ouellet said…: The following video has been posted so many times.
But what is different is the much better audio quality which now does justice
to the wonderful music played by the bests Stan and Chet.

How about some "Just Friends" ?

At 11:55am on November 29, 2009, Paul Wood said…: When I play this video it is completely out of sinc. Maybe my computer. I also get the feeling that Stan is not too pleased with Chet, like he may fall asleep or off his stool at any given moment. Stan looks great, Chet like the ravages of time etc. have left their mark. Thanks for posting Denis, I only have the CDs.

At 1:08pm on November 29, 2009, Paul Wood said…: O.K. Denis, I'll do that.

At 1:09pm on January 7, 2010, Pascal Savelon said…: Hi Denis

The Parisian radio TSF Jazz broadcast a program on the jazz festival of Cannes 1958.
We hear Martial Solal with Pierre Michelot and Kenny Clarke. The guests soloists are Sacha Distel, Barney Wilen, Stan Getz and Dizzy Gillespie.
The guests play together only for the final jam session on Blues Walk.

Maybe you can listen to the podcast (for a limited time I think) on the website of the radio.
It's the show called 'Jazz sur la croisette' (2 parts).
