Gary Bartz just kills on Live Evil . Saw his group . Incredable Ben Riley story about Trane , wanting to go back inside , dying before he could . Albert Daily is as good as any piano player from his lifetime. Never got the recognition he deserved .

Always nice to hear from you Andrew. I couldn't agree more with you about any of those points. Thanks for the encouragement.

Glad you dug it, Simon. Yeah, Gary has a lot of deep thoughts. Thank you!

"Nobody is playing Be-Bop. It's too hard." Damn right.

[@bobmoverjazzability]

Don't we know that, Henry!!! By the way, Henry, I am happy to continue on your "Bird Project" whenever you'd like.

Hi Gary !!!

[@harveywainapel1497]

What a great conversation: informative, inspiring, and funny as hell! Do I see a bass clarinet behind Mr. Bartz?! (Also, nice to hear Sol Fromkin’s name, brings back fond memories!) 🎷❤️

[@bobmoverjazzability]

Hi Harvey! Thanks very much for your high praise. It means a lot coming from a musician of your caliber. Are you still living in Amsterdam? Happy New Year! - Bob

@@bobmoverjazzability hi Bob, thank you for such a kind thought! I remember meeting you at the BIM house! Living in California since 1982, aging gracefully, still trying to learn how to play…best to you, Champ!

Fantastic interview with Gary, Bob. That concert that you mentioned where John Coltrane and Monk had a reunion of sorts was at the Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan on January 22, 1966. There's a photo from that concert with Coltrane, Charlie Rouse, Ben Riley, Monk, and Reggie Workman all standing onstage together (Workman is hidden in the photo). I think the idea to reunite Trane with Monk was George Wein's idea. Thanks again.

[@bobmoverjazzability]

First of all, thanks for writing in Jack. Glad you enjoyed the podcast. By the way, please tell your friends, because it always helps in this "social media world" to have more subscribers & followers. Regarding the Coltrane Monk stuff, the concert that you mention may very well be the one that Coltrane was referring to when talking to Ben. I seem to recall a mention of another concert in a bio of Trane, referring to a concert in Europe somewhat closer to the date of Trane's death on July 13, 1967.
