tsk tsk! Remember 'Trane's tune 'Like Sonny'? Those two were very close. And the recording they made 'Tenor Madness'?

tsk tsk again!! (just kidding)

We have lost many of the Old Masters from that wonderful era. "The ranks are thinning", as Tommy Flanagan says.

Nice to run into an occasional friend on DU that even KNOWS who Coltrane is. It's all too rare, even on an enlightened forum like DU. Very tragic. They all know who Honey Boo Boo is, but if you mention Tadd Dameron....fuggedaboutit.
