oscar is a favorite of my wife’s danish side cuz petersen thad jones and a fairly decent cast of artists living in copenhagen made some magic there.

We remember a broadcast with Bill Russell in the second chair answering the announcer’s question about what adjustment might the league make to deal with all the slam dunks:
“Lower the basket.”
Now, that’s putting some thought into it !
nice. he was quirky, funny (flipping off barkley at some awards event) and very regular guy in so many ways. then super human too. he endured and defeated evil (and the lakers and wilt lol) and made the world a better place. also set a standard for winning as a player and coach that will never be surpassed. we bleed green in this house.

RIP Jeff…
I’m posting a few things from when Jeff Beck played with the Yardbirds at my folks bar in Emporia Kansas on their American tour in 1965. Emporia was a railroad hub and that’s how they arrived…by train. Dad, Mom and we three kids picked them up in our family car and took them to their hole-in-the-wall motel which was the best our little town had to offer. Emporia was rock’n back then with 2 colleges stuffed to overflowing with students from the east and west coasts looking for a deferment from the war. Once they’d played, dad took them on a tour of the flint hills and wheat field. They wanted to see the “Bread Basket of the World.”

my father in law also enjoyed this and noted to me
Many of the names are familiar to me. 1960 I was in 9th grade, my music and jazz interests starting to form. They reached a peak of sorts in 1968 or so when I played a short Sunday set at the Montmartre piano. I was part of a big band organized by an “after school learning institution”. After 1960 many more notable American saxophonists resided in Denmark for a couple of years, among them Dexter Gordon and Ben Webster.
One of the Danes that definitely “made it” was bass player Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen. He played in the Oscar Peterson trio in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
