I heard Dexter, Einar, Erik and Jon at the Metropole Jazz House in Oslo. Dexter had a rather late arrival, but when he finally came on stage he lifted his horn and said with a big charming smile: "Have not fear, Dex is here." :) Everybody loved him.
Thank you for sending this to us.
We will send you "Me and My Piano" with Einar and Jon and a bassplayer Tor Hauge, but he is not among us anymore.
All the best
Egil

Thanks for checking in. Yes, I'm very, very sad . Gerry was a very good friend/extended family. I'm going out to L.A. in a few days for his memorial service. It means a lot to his wife Lynn and I guess it will also help me to come to terms with his passing, which I still cannot believe.

By the way, I hope to get to hear Don Menza while in L.A. It will be the only night other than Gerry's tribute that I'll be going out. The rest of the time will be spent with Lynn and family.

Take care!

Thanks for keeping in touch. By the way, if you can find an out of print LP called "Hip Pocket," it is outstanding. I think it is on the Palo Alto label. Menza, Nick Brignola, Andy Simpkins, etc. Can't put my hands on my copy right now, but it was recorded live at the now-defunct club, Carmelo's. I think Carmelo's was in Sherman Oaks, CA.

I'll be in touch upon my return.

The concert is Aug. 19th and while I'm in Duluth, MN, I'll be just a little bit closer to Canada, so I'll wave to you from Lake Superior. If I could play sax I'd play you a tune over the waves. I'll think of you when I play one of those beautiful standards that we love so much. More to come soon.

Blessings to you & every key & pad on that horn of yours.

Have a great night,
Marla

At 12:30am on July 22, 2008, Marla said…: Hi Denis,

Great minds and hearts think alike. I loved Sal Nistico's playing, too. I did get to hear him live several times in the mid-70's at Buddy's Place in NYC, when Buddy disbanded the big band and had Sal, Sonny Fortune, Kenny Barron, Anthony Jackson, etc. I love his burning solos with Woody's 60's band, as well as the small group recordings. Sad that he didn't get to record more on his own. Off the top of my head, without looking downstairs, I know I have his CD, "Empty Room." I also have at least one private recording from Europe.

Take care,
Marla

I've just been spending some time here. I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY! Such a good vibe. Maybe I should ditch the myspace and facebook and just hang here! I'm finding that I just don't have enough time to manage so many pages! Mine, Stan, Stella(!), Buddy, Zoot/Al and some others that I've kind of been ignoring! I like this one the best. (-: Dad would love this!

You have a great day, too!
hugs,
Bev

Thanks for reminding me of "Heavyweights." I think Rochester's own Vinnie Ruggiero (sp?) is on that one. His son is also a drummer in NYC today.

You continue to impress me! I'll see if I can find either my LP or now that I think of it, double CD reissue.

Yes, I'm in Chicago for the summer, but I've been traveling and teaching a lot! I was in Louisville the first two weeks of this month, teach at the Jamey Aebersold Jazz Camp. Then, last week, I was in Deland, Florida, teaching at a sax workshop for eighty saxophonists. I'm in town this week (Chicago) playing a concert at Millennium Park on Thursday, then I leave Friday for a week of teaching in London with Jamey Aebersold and his faculty for another jazz camp.

I hope you're doing well.

Best Wishes,

Greg
