10 Transistor Radio Hits
When I was a kid growing up in New York in the 1960s, July 4th meant playground sprinklers, visits to Palisades Amusement Park, nok-hockey, stickball, fathers wearing plaid shirts and shorts with black socks and shoes, and the brown radio in my bedroom. Listening to that radio, day and night, in July and August, I came ...
JazzVid: Woody Shaw
Between Woody Shaw's Muse albums in the '70s and '80s, he recorded for Columbia. One of his albums for the label was Stepping Stones, recorded live at the Village Vanguard in August 1978.

Washington was the embodiment of the crossover ...

Al Haig Captured on Video
I've never seen a video clip of pianist Al Haig, have you? Yesterday I found one of Haig playing with James Moody (alto sax), Ray Brown (bass) and Kenny Clarke (drums). It comes from Dizzy Gillespie's Bebop Reunion—a 1975 PBS SoundStage show in Chicago. I'm alerted that my good friend Doug Ramsey featured the clip earlier ...
