Thanks Phil. At the Record Mart and through Dlmark I learned how to listen to the past as well as the present, so came to dig Bechet, too.

What a fantastic article! This piece captures the magic & soul that first captivated those of us who remain on a pilgrimage for the music.

Jordi, this is GOOD news, not bad news! The Pitch Painting app costs only $3.99 (though an iPad costs a lot more), and Mort is in fine health!

These are really sad news, Morton’s composition were always inspiring, my children have been using his “Making Music” software package for a year now, for the cost of a single music lesson they have learned what a full year tuition would cost me.

And when you’ve viewed the rest of the Jazz Casuals, you might want to see Oscar Brown Jr.’s Jazz Scene USA.

Thanks. I just picked up the Jazz Casuals box set a couple of weeks ago, and haven’t watched the Trane episode yet. Watched the BB King, Count Basie (Quartet) and Charles Lloyd segments so far. To quote Jeremy Hillary Boob (the Nowhere Man, Yellow Submarine): “Ad hoc, ad loc and quid pro quo. So little time — so much [music] to know!”

Thanks for your comment, Martin. The Coltrane Quartet performance comes from Ralph Gleason’s tv show Jazz Casual. It was included in a production called “Coltrane Legacy,” for which I interviewed (offscreen) Wayne Shorter, Jimmy Heath and Rashied Ali; Robert Palmer wrote the script and Toby Byron was the producer.I think several of Gleason’s Jazz Casuals have been released on DVD.

Enjoyed the article and the breadth of selections you use in your presentation. I’m familiar with all the videos posted here except the Coltrane. Curious as to the source. Thank you.
