The Great Bob Cranshaw! Sonny Rollins' 'go to' bassist for many, many decades, starting on the classic vinyl RCA VIctor record "The Bridge". Great historical remembrances, Thanks, Bob. 💙
That’s a beautiful story.
Around 1980 my band opened for Phil in San Francisco. We played a burning set and got a lot applause. Then Phil's band came on and he was so exciting that within five minutes, people were standing up and screaming.

Thelonious Monk is undoubtedly in my Top 5 favorite classic jazz musicians currently.
Coleman Hawkins had the warmest tone in jazz history. No one could out warm him.
Shoot! I wish trumpet was easy. The embouchure alone was impossible. I took much more easily to sax. I'll never forget when I heard "Tico Tico" in high school.
Junior Mance is another musician who gets almost NO credit today and he is on some of music's most pivotal recordings.
Very inspiring!
To be a fly on the wall at that audition!
A friend of mine in nyc was put in charge of hiring a jazz band for some art gallery event at the last minute. He did not know anything about jazz at all and asked around. Someone he knew said their jazz band could play, he said sure. The band arrived and started playing at the set time, but he said they seemed to be taking forever to tune up or something. After a while he asked one of the musicians when are you guys going to actually start playing? The musician said we were playing the whole time. That was his introduction to free jazz which he didn't know existed. He said the art crowd people all left the music room pretty quickly.
What a story teller!
Fantastic Singer and group. Thank you guys!
I could listen to Phil all day. What an amazing story, and what a fabulous time to be alive, while Bird was around.
Genius ...
It's not the horn unless it is in disrepair. I have a Mark VI and can tell you it comes with NO magic pre-installed. None of the great players ever "got there" without very serious time in the woodshed. RIP Phil!
Dave Liebman is not only a superb musician and improviser but also a natural educator and (for lack of a better word) very articulate and eloquent spokesperson for Jazz and music in general.
The MOMENT. Every young musician, if he or she is very lucky, and sticks with it, recognizes it when they experience it.
What a great story. You've got to love his playing, absolutely fantastic.
God, I love that story! I've watched this video repeatedly, but it always hits.
are there full versions of these interviews?
😂 Dinah was hell on wheels but she was everything!
You've got to be good if Jackie picked you up
And I still prefer listening to Phil Woods over Charlie Parker. Go figure...🎉❤❤❤
Words are a powerful instrument, they can be used to tear someone down or build them up, choose wisely.
If you see this toshiko i love you and your work!
Charlie was right. LOVE Phil's playing.
Janis, you're a ray of sunshine 🌞. MT's accomplishments are beautiful and amazing. You all made the Weather Report warm and sunny, and so cool.
I was at an event where Cyrus and Betty Carter first met. She was speaking and answering questions. Cyrus was a student at Berklee. Some people asked her to please sing and she asked if there was a piano player that could accompany her. Some shouts for Cyrus could be heard. So he sat down, and someone suggested “Body and Soul”. She asked if he could play “ Body and Soul” in G. (I think it was G.) He said he could, and she was so pleased that he didn’t hesitate about transposing. Then, for a few minutes she discussed the importance of being able to transpose, and versatility, etc. So, they performed a beautiful rendition of Body and Soul together. After she looked at him with such love. Then she concluded her time on stage, and as she exited, she lead him off the side of the stage with her rather than allowing him to return to his seat. Some years later, I learned he had become her regular accompanist. It was nice seeing this historical meeting. It just shows you that it’s true that success is when preparation meets opportunity.
Nice. I like what you did with the sound.
great
Very moving to hear Lee recount his first meeting with Lennie Tristano and the beginning of their friendship and musical association. i miss Lee. Wish he were still on the scene.
Omg I love that. Amazing. I didnt know that about Errol Gardner and I have 12 of his records. I wonder how Errol played with an orchestra multiple times. Orchestras hate that shit lol
One of my heroes growing up as a trombonist…always perplexed by his ability.
I was very lucky to going to juilliard for percussion ( drums) acually I was fornuatw to live next to Phil woods in Delaware water gap PA and go to play with him at the jazz festival and my father was a music teacher in the area and studies with Joe Alard seome who Phil studies sax with in NYC when Phil.was a clarinet major at juilliard!
👍🏾👍🏾
When Ron Carter picks you to be HIS bass player, is there a greater affirmation of your mastery? Thank you for the music! It’s no surprise Buster’s words resonate deeply, just as his playing. Cheers to all on their jazz journey in 2024
An affirmation from Bird. Something to keep in your heart.

The great Jackie McLean recorded eighteen of Charles tollivers compositions.they were an outstanding pairing, each had an intense slightly out of tune sound. And both were technically brilliant.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
unique

A simple melody on a great motif like Paul Desmond played ..is as rare as a huge diamond...alll these jazz genres are bullshit....we should learn to concentrate on tones and phrasing and simplicity
Remembering the great Harold Mabern on the day of his birthday in 2024. I last saw him at the Half Note jazz club in Athens, Greece, in 2016. During the show, he dazzled the audience with his musicianship, he played everything from jazz standards, low-down Delta Blues (where he also sang with a great blues voice), to Earth, Wind & Fire's Fantasy, a great arrangement of his (to be found on one of his personal albums). After the show, I saw him sitting at the bar and went to shake hands with this great musician and tell him I was a lifelong fan. His humility and kindness startled me. We ended up scat singing Wes Montgomery lines from his tour in Europe with Wes back in the 60s when I told him I know all these performances by heart, I kid you not. Such a great musician and human being, may he rest in peace.
He was a nice gentleman. I met him, or rather recognized and acknowledged him, at my mother’s nursing home. He was to himself and very dignified. I didn’t bug him too much, and he was very gracious.
