With all due respect for your upload, helluvagun (I never heard this album of Sonny), why is there a photo of Basie while Legge plays? Thanks anyway.

@BuckshotLaFunke

Some probably never heard this one -Sonny Rollins:I've grown accustomed to your face with mr. Legge on piano, and still persist it's a Basie photo,

Two factors seemed to hurry the, not death really, but the,er, hibernating of modern jazz: one, the avalanche of stunning rock and roll, and two, relevant and poetic lyrics, spurned by the 60s young radical leftist political idealism.

And by Lennon-McCartney and Bob Dylan. Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie and a cast of thousands, like the Grateful Dead, the Fugs, Velvet Underground...etc. then John Coltrane died; Miles and the greats kept on, like sonny rollins, and here we be.

But hey jazz still lived in the fifties and even in the sixties at least in the US. In Sweden most jazzmusicians sadly had to radically change direction to make ends meet! Jazz barely survived!

When Frank Zappa made his last tour just before 18:00 on tuesday december 7 1993, contemporary music for me died! Jazz was important to me long before that ofcourse, but thereafter my serious jazz listening/playing started! I'm proud to have more than 100 vinyl of FZ!

Such a good pianist, Wade Legge.

After slowly getting back on my feet after the 60s, I went back to reacquire "Freak Out" and "We're Only In It for the Money." So much content in these I bought none others. Wow what a huge collection. Congratulations!

Zappa says he makes $millions$ a year in a 1980s interview on CNN, archived at the Pacifica Archives.

He verbally kicks butt of the conservative suits arrayed against him.

I hope I will see mr. Rollins again!

Februay 1 I will see Joshua Redman and later in March McCoy Tyner!

Sorry I mean Ritchie Powell. I always mix them up: Mel, Bud and Ritchie!

I know!

And it was a terrible chock to most musicians. Sonny was terribly sad, torn apart by grief for the loss of Clifford Brown who was a genious! He had like Louis Armstrong a god on his shoulder!

The ultimate hardbop band!
