	Clark Terry & The Young Titans of Jazz -- Live At Marihan's QUINCY JONES When I was a teenager, the Count Basie Band came through my town - Seattle. I somehow got Clark to agree to give me several trumpet lessons. In spite of the fact that he was working late at night and I was going to school early in the morning, he managed to find a couple of hours before school for my lessons. He was always loving, inspiring and motivating. While listening to this tape, I discovered that he still takes the time to enco ... More...	212

	Compilation -- FOR DANCERS ONLY: A Lindy Hop Compilation Ahhhh--the ideal Lindy Hop compilation. My walls are lined with towering shelves of swing music, but I have yet to find a single CD full of my favorite Lindy Hop songs. In my many years of DJing, I pay close attention to what excites dancers. Lindy Hoppers might not know the names on this CD: Jay McShann, Clark Terry, Junior Mance and Al Grey. But, their music always fills the dance floor and my ideal compilation would feature them all. I am thrilled that ... More...	223

	The John Bunch Trio -- Tony's Tunes (with Bucky Pizzarelli & Jay Leonhart) PRODUCER'S NOTES Sometimes a spur of the moment idea is the best kind. No long drawn-out process, just a light bulb going off, and an idea that just spontaneously pops into your head. It was that way with this CD. John Bunch had worked for many months on a project we called An English Songbook. It was a solo recording, just John and a trusty Steinway. As the second day of recording was wrapping up, I sat in the control room, marve ... More...	372
	Dave Glasser -- Begin Again Producer's Notes Of the forty or so times I've been fortunate enough to hear &/or record Dave Glasser over the past decade, the one thing that always strikes me is the respect and rich understanding he has for where this music comes from. and how eloquently he is able to apply that to what comes out of his horn. It's evident in his tone, his phrasing, and the extensive musical vocabulary he draws upon as he creates his own unique voice. Of course, it ... More...	373
	Don Friedman -- Hot House Producer's Notes I first met Don Friedman when he made a series of five wonderful records at Downtown Sound, in 1977 and 1978. He always had terrific rhythm sections, using various combinations of Frank Luther or George Mraz and Ronnie Bedford or Billy Hart. I seem to recall Pepper Adams and. Jimmy Knepper were also on one of the dates. The only problem with the records were they were not for Chiaroscuro, but were produced by Gus Statiras for release on ... More...	376

A frequent ... More...	377
	Mike Jones Trio -- Live At The Green Mill OK kids, it's playtime. Yes, in one sense it's always "playtime" when musicians get down to business. After all, we say they're "playing music"; and even at its most serious, a song or symphony should have the light, lithe quality that lifts play above work. But when Mike Jones seats himself at a piano - whether to open the long-running Vegas show for Penn & Teller, or to regale an audience one-tenth that size at Chicago's most popular jazz club - it turn ...
