I just read that Gerald Clayton’s latest, Ones and Twos, has been nominated for a Grammy. I’ll be playing a couple of tunes from it this Saturday

Jack DeJohnette. Saw him in performance with John Abercrombie 40+ years ago at Coe College. Halfway through the set he moved from drums to piano. I hadn’t done my homework and was not prepared for this. Just fantastic. I’ll be playing two or three by him this Saturday.

Baseball, football, basketball, and hockey all in season. So I open with this on Saturday’s program. Holds up after 40 years, I think.

This album is comprised of two sessions. One has Bud Shank on alto, the other Joe Henderson on tenor. This is Bud Shank. The pianist is Rock Island, Illinois native Keith Greko. None of them are around anymore, but it is some nice stuff. Playing some of it tonight.

Aired this trio a week and a half back and will do so again. His first album and this cut has something of a Labor Day title, so I share it with you.

I played much more Beatles and vinyl on last night’s program than I expected to, and what has stuck with me has been this performer playing this tune (I used his solo performance from his album Zero One)

New Blue Note Horace Silver, live from Seattle, 1964. Woody Shaw and Joe Henderson in the band. I’ll be airing this on an upcoming show (October?) and will hopefully get back to posting material from my weekly programs this week. This is exciting stuff
