I decided to order it. Interviews with Dexter Gordon, Miles Davis, Randy Weston, Ornette Coleman, Philly Joe Jones, Don Byas, Ron Carter, Johnny Griffin, Charles Tolliver, Eddie Lockjaw Davis,...
I’ll hit both those events. They’re maybe a half hour from home. Thanks!
I always think the same thing. It looks like he just moves his hand up and down the neck and notes pop out. Whatever the technique is, is must be very efficient.
Another interesting point. This is about the time that black musicians started making a concerted effort to reject “jazz” as a label for both artistic and social reasons.** I don’t know enough...

Who knows what they sound like in the room but in the recordings, I thought the Tal sounded best followed by the Golden Eagle. Those two just had a richness that the others didn't have.
