Neighborliness Jazz Quartet in the Russian Far East

[TheZhdi]

John and the guys are soul of Vlad jazz!

I'm lucky enough to have a copy of NJQ' s CD "Let Be the Realist" which features this song, and seldom a day goes by when I don't play it at least once.

Having listened to jazz of all stripes for over 55 years, I have to say I think John's song is destined , one day, to become a jazz standard!

Thanks for the comment! We love this song as well! There are not many songs about Vlad, especially in English. I guess it is the only one, actually!

I'm guessing by your user name that you either are or have been stationed there. Did you happen to hear John and his group either time that they were there?

[vladconsulate]

Yes, I did... Both times:-) First time they came, they were unknown in this part of the world. But they were very well received and when they came for the 2nd time, people knew what to expect!

I'm lucky enough to have Neighborliness' CD "Let Be the Realist," with this cut on it, and seldom a day goes by when I don't play it.

Having listened to jazz of all stripes for over 55 years, I have to say I think John's composition is destined to become a jazz standard!

Missing Vladivostok!
