Well, it was certainly an interesting year. It was a year full of great music. It was a year when we lost some jazz greats which, sadly, seems to be a constant yearly thing. However, the good news is that guys like Buddy Guy are still performing great blues music and guys like Wynton Marsalis are […]
Just a quick post tonight. There are probably some of you looking for some jazz or blues to see live for New Years Eve and such. I want to thank the greatest radio station in Chicago for Jazz, WDCB for providing this information for me to post here. Again, I can’t rave about that darn […]
The death of Oscar Peterson got me thinking about jazz pianists recently. As you may have known from reading past posts, I tend to be a man who is a fan of the horns. However, if you read carefully, you will notice that I stray into other instruments from time to time. I am a […]
I don’t want to delay too long on the death of Oscar Peterson. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very sad that he passed. I loved listening to him perform and loved his music, but he was in his 80s and had been a bit sick. Not that that makes things all better, but you get […]
The problem with being such a fan of classic jazz is that, for the most part, the musicians who played that great music are either dead or quite elderly and, therefore, likely to pass away. I am sorry to report that another musician who was key to my early jazz days, especially during my time […]
Well, I for one had a really great Christmas. I spent most of it looking at my baby niece and marveling at the fact that she was so beautiful and starting to respond to my voice, make noises back at me and look around and notice things. I mean, really, how incredibly cool is that. […]
Hello one and all. Thanks again for making 2007 a great year here. I hope I have managed to entertain you a few times, at the very least and, perhaps, opened your eyes to some new music. I hope to continue to do both of those things throughout 2008.
Since I cannot say for sure I will […]
Not too much to write about tonight. I just wanted to drop a quick line to all of my regular readers and wish you a very safe and happy holiday weekend. It’s a crazy weekend. I know, I was out in the crowds just trying to get my grocery shopping done.
So, take your favorite jazz […]
I LOVE writing this blog!!! I love it when people leave comments and I LOVE the idea of jazz fans around the world reading this (slightly intimidated too). I hope I can live up to those expectations, I truly do. I am one man, based out of Chicago and I do the best I can […]
I am a fan of rock and roll. Yeah, sure, I write about jazz and blues on this blog, but I am hardly some kind of snob who only listens to one type of music. Heck, I have been known to enjoy a classical tune or two in my day as well as rock and […]
