You are right, Largo. Clifford Brown would have made a huge contribution.
Such an irony that he was one of the straight musicians of his era, in good health, and he dies in a car crash.

Clifford Brown's Joy Spring is one of my all time faves. I can do a pretty good job on the slide trombone, but of course it was written as a tune for a valved instrument.
I really wanted to play it last night at my gig, but the temperature wasn't quite warm enough. Man, we need spring here...

Pocoloco and Hooblie.
Thanks for the jazz history. I'm listening to the 1959 story right now.
Garcia and Grisman repeated - jazz or not jazz doesn't matter - this is beyond categories.

I was working on Jazz Express magazine in London, which was started by Peter Boizot, who had started the Pizza Express chain of restaurants.
The Jazz Basement in the Dean Street (Soho) Pizza Express was great (I was also a member of Ronnie Scott's club and visited the 100 club on Oxford Street). But the Jazz Basement was my favorite, mainly because I got in for free and had free food, had to pay for the booze though.
Some great acts there but my most fondest memory is Benny Carter when he performed on his 83rd birthday. After the last set, after the customers left, we (staff and I) stayed up into the wee hours and he was regaling us with his stories of being a jazz man travelling around the States, especially as an African-American in segregated America, his gigs... it was great.

EDIT
Peter Boizot also had Pizza On The Park (next to Hyde Park) restaurant/jazz club, some good acts. I also got in there for free and free food, beer/wine I had to pay for.

Next time you have time to enjoy a concert, this is a pretty decent one.
Enjoy.
Note: That's Jaco Pastorius' kid, Felix, on base, and with Will Kenndey on drums, they are questionably the suavest rhythm section working in contemporary jazz. Great thing about this group is that they rarely overplay or ramble.

So you're saying they aren't jazz musicians?
