  • great album J.R. made with Jimmy Garrison, Pete La Roca, Tommy Flanagan-was it called "Straight Ahead"? Had nice version of "Violet For Your Furs", a original melody based on "Get Happy" and several other originals- very enjoyable album!

  • Hi "rovingeye5"

    That's a LOVELY tune..So plaintive..I always think of the last album Lady Day made..with Ray Ellis & Strings..her pipes had taken a hammering..but the emotion there always activates my tear ducts.

    Do you know this album ?

    If not check it out.EVEN though it's not J.R !!

    I going to putting up a TERRIFIC piece on J.R. ref: my new Web Page,I'm creating "The Tenor"..but it will be awhile yet

    Go on keeping those ears BIG & your optics sharp !

  • Listening to this on JR's birthday, missing him. Great video.

  • The other great tenor player is- HUGE BRODIE.

    Amazing, original players...burning and so interesting. JR and Hugh areas great as it gets.

  • Wow! Thanks for posting this, a real treat for those of us who never saw JR in action (pun intentional). This really is a great solo. I hope you decide to link some more! In the meantime, would it be possible to list the rest of the personnel? Thanks again!

  • JR was cookin. Man, he was cookin I tell ya!

  • Hi Colin: I'll have to check it out, thanks for the tip- Yeah, Lady Day was all about that "sound" she had unlike anyone else. Isn't that always the case wih a great artist? There's no confusing them with anyone else!

  • he plays some beautiful strokes of yellow @ 2:41. love it

  • Great video. JR is still very much missed. Thank you for sharing.
