[phillyjazz]

No Room for Squares ...how appropriate..

[phillyjazz]

No disrespect either, but don't you KNOW the title of the freakin' song ??

[BashuUp]

no disrespect but is it to much to put the name of the song in the title,geez

[sistalinda]

Hey Phillyjazz

I will be doing a walk-on with Bootsie Barnes at The Firehouse in Mt. Holly, NJ on July 18, 2010. Pedro Matos will be there too! What time? When he lets me come up. Come cheer me on.

3:12 gotta love the classic trombone "buuurrreeeaooooow'"......... lol!!!!

[Lorellehb]

His son should have them after Ms. Wynn passed. We should ask him!

[Lorellehb]

I played with some of these guys at the Mill Creek Center on Lancaster Ave years ago. Does anyone have videos of those days? It seems like a time long gone. I was choir director there.

[phillyjazz]

I remember those days. Do you think Dewey Wynn might have taken some video ? I was too irresponsible at the time. There were some great sessions there !!

[lyndon1904]

As a professional classical musician who's getting more and more seriously into jazz, the talent of these people just blows me away.

[phillyjazz]

You'd be surprised how many of these guys have classical backgrounds. Bootsie actually used to play classical TUBA as a young man.

[ayrellen]

Bootsie! - with John Swana and Darryl Hall... ooooo. This is lovely - how I miss ma friends.

[sumphin]

I saw Bootsy perform last night in Baltimore (Caton Castle). It was a really good show. He is a really strong tenor player.

[soulhed72]

Gracias Amigo !! Con mucho gusto!

[sistalinda]

Thanks to a wonderful friendship between my brother and Bootsy, I got to sing with this great musician at Ortliebs Jazz Haus in Philly. Sid Simmons was on piano. What an honor.

[intrepidpooch]

Damn Swana, damn...

[skimmie55]

Swana!! I just posted a current video of him.

[Cymbalgroove]

John Swana is the man!!!!

[rdangelo]

5 stars for Swana.

[supermarito79]

[LFCbmx10]

my family knows Bootsie Barnes

[LFCbmx10]

John Swana is my trumpet teacher and my family friend

[ooomusic]

God bless these fine musicians and the club for hiring them. And the announcer for telling the crowd to shut-da-fa up.

[bopsophony]

Wonderful! Philly representing!

[Shmade]

saw bootsie last night in media pa

[mynamisdan]

yes Swana IS the man. I got to meet him at a clinic he did down here in S. FL. Talk about a guy who could play his ass off. The clinic was great and he's one of the coolest cats ive ever met

[jazzmanta]

Swana is the MAN!

[zemry]

Great clip! I've been a fan of Clifford Adams for years. It's nice to finally put a face to the trombone! Outstanding ensemble!

[phillyjazz]

He's got such a babyface too !! What a player, though ..
