Lou is still around, eh? What a life. Got to say “hello” to Miles Davis at Chicago Blues fest back in 89. I was a tad intimidated to chat. Miles was a true genius.
Max Roach in class. Holy pss! There’s a fella that could tell you some stories.

Speaking of Trane and Miles, idk, but i think i like their wives better…Alice’s work is just incredible morning stuff too - she is criminally underrated; save betty for late night!

I just hear an interview with Betty several months ago. That was one gutsy woman.

A little more on the smooth side of jazz, I love Michael Brecker and Paul Desmond, too. But to be on the outer limits of jazz, Miles Davis with John Coltrane were there. Just wow.

One of my more precious albums: BB King and the Crusaders Royal Jam has the best recording of The Thrill is Gone. It’s the sax that makes it.

Solid. I gotta say my loyalty in the land of Chicago giants lays with the Wolf. Junior Wells is my all time favorite tho.
My pal sent me this one yesterday. Sam could really sing too. Wow.
My first dog was named Count.
Here’s a snapshot for you

The adoration of Astral Weeks makes for some strange bedfellows.
This album certainly changed my life, long ago.

Too bad van Morrison turned into a total wanker and weirdo - demerits.

Oh, totally agree.
But Michael Cohen took a turn for the better, at least.
But michael Cohens music didn’t lol who knows!?
Van is on Eric Clapton and cat Stevens island. Ted nugent and kid rock have their place. MJ has his. Then there’s Roger waters.

Thanks for the reminder about Morphine! Another band I saw back in the day - I must be getting old I’ve forgotten more bands than I can remember.
