Hi Denis:) Thank you for stopping in to say hello. I appreciate your comment as well. That CD is beyond fabulous! It really does bring out the cha cha cha in me...lol. Have a wonderful day and abundant blessings to you(-:0
Hi Denis,
I think it is Lou Levy on those concert tracks, more his comping style than O.P. I especially liked Stan's innocence "my first time antwhere" comment, i wonder if Beverley has heard this, maybe you should send her a copy.
My other favourite is JJ's what a great group that was and what a trombone player.
now's the time

Forgot to mention that while in L.A., I went to Charlie O's specifically to hear Don Menza and while the drive was only a few miles from where I was staying, I would have driven a thousand miles - he's still one of the great tenor saxophonists alive today.
Actually, I believe Menza's gig is once a month at Charlie O's (on a Thursday, if I'm not mistaken). There really is an excellent jazz scene out there and has been since I started visiting the west coast on a regular basis back in the early 80's.
That was beautiful - I'm a huge Jackie Mac fan, too...used to hear him at the Village Vanguard quite often when living in the NY area and then last time I heard him live was at the Regattabar in Cambridge, MA - pure jazz heaven on earth. Many thanks for sharing.
Yes, I love both of the ones you mentioned. I also love his recording, "Swing, Swang, Swingin." I also have the LP of Jackie Mac and the lesser-known John Jenkins called "Alto Madness." I believe both are on Prestige???
Hi Denis!
Yes, I was briefly here... then had to leave my computer. My puppy is very sick. )-; He has kennel cough which has now turned into pneumonia. So I'm spending most of my time tending to him, trying to get him to take his meds, eat and drink. Poor little guy... I'm really hoping we wake up to a much better "Petey"! If not... then it's back to the vet.
Dear Denis: Thanks for your greeting on my father's site. Tell me about yourself! all the best,Steve

Hey Denis, I hope you're doing great and having fun playing. Thank you for your good wishes message before the concert. It was quite a night, really a blast. I put my mom's first Conn sax on stage with me so I could feel like she was there. I'll keep you posted on the recording, I haven't heard it yet. We'll be doing it again next year. Now we're getting a trio/quartet together here and gearing up to gig. More to come, I just wanted to catch up with you and thank you for sending me your sax player's luck.

Dear Denis: Thank you for sharing some things about your life.We are about the same age.I will be 60 next month,on October 28th! Stay in touch, all the best,

During this last week I realized the list of the Stan Getz recordings (unissued and issued ones) I have for the 1976-1991 period. You'll find this list as added file
You'll note that I've various french radio broadcasts, perhaps you'll be interested by some ones of them and I'll be happy to trade with you.
I'll be very happy to know your list.
I'm a specialist of Gerry Mulligan recordings and I'll be also very interested to know if you've radio, tv or private recordings of Gerry.
Hoping that I'll add the file with success
All the best from METZ

No -- it is never too late! I'll be back to visit you here soon -- just getting my feet wet again in the Stan Getz forum.
Sending good wishes from Hamilton - where we had beautiful weather today! Hope you did too!
Hi Denis
I only have 2 dvd,s of Stan (the Munich concer and the winery concert)but I see that there are a lot that I was not aware of.
Can you tell me what is available and how I can obtain copies.
Trust you are keeping well.
All the best

Just dropping by to say hello. Not much going on here. Going into Boston to hear Chuck Mangione next week, as our friend, Coleman Mellett is his guitarist. Looking forward to hearing saxophonist Gerry Neiwood, who has been with Mangione for quite a while. The week after that is Steve Smith's Jazz Legacy w/saxophonists Andy Fusco and Walt Weiskopf. Hoping things are doing fine with you and your family.

Hi Denis, i'm sorry for the delay in replying to you, i'll record that session for you, i have had a very bad cold and seem to have given it to my wife as well, so we are both suffering. also one of our cats had to be put to sleep( we have four, this one was named Hoagy), so a little sad time for us. On top of that i have mislaid your address, so please e-mail it to me, i would be much obliged.

Dear Denis
Yes you can't change the size of the letter. So I do it on my original, normally you'll read this list easily
Excuse me for the disagrement
