  • My local library has a copy of The Hawk Flies in their collection. It's quite a delightful recording.

  • @aarfeld Sounds like a pretty hip library.

  • @JazzVideoGuy: I live in Charlottesville, Va., and The Dave Matthews Band (who are locals) through their charitable organization, Bama Works, purchased for our library system an amazing Jazz collection. I've made some wonderful discoveries by delving into it.

    Thanks you for the wonderful videos that you've produced on Jazz. The series with Orin Keepnews has been particularly interesting.

  • @aarfeld Appreciate the kind words. Dave Matthews is doing great things, musically, and as a person, through Bama Works.

  • @matoflash Just bought the album the other day... It's Wonderful. Thanks for telling me about it

  • I don't get how hawkins could be blamed for producing the most perfect jazz sound. What did modernity and originality brought that hasn't been outdated at some point? hawkins sound is just timeless.

  • @spacepatrolman Did not meet him but sitting just three feet away from him during a Pharoah Sanders set gave me some sense of the man.

  • @JazzVideoGuy did you meet him he was a realy intense actor you hated him in mutiny on the bounty and loved him in ryans daughter
