Comment on Podcast: Vocal Duets by Al

Thanks, Aaron. The feedback really means a lot. I’m not familiar with Tony Mowod, but being compared to a jazz giant is mighty praise indeed. Keep spreading the word.

Hi Al, really dug the duets this week. I keep telling people two things: You remind me of jazz giant Tony Mowod who hosted the Nightside on the mighty WDUQ in Pittsburgh, and I tell people if you love liner notes and stories, you will dig JCL.
Keep it up! Thank you

Hey, Clifford. Thanks for checking in. I’ll have to check it out. At one time I had the Bill Barron West Side Story, but I seem to have sold it when I scaled the collection back. How is that one?

I’m a massive fan of Dave Burrell’s “West Side Story Medley,” as heard on the High LP (Douglas) and the expanded Arista Freedom reissue, High Won High Two.

Just tripped across this post, and wanted to say that I am really enjoying your site. Jeff Gordon was my first jazz improvisation teacher/mentor, a very talented and unsung hero of mine.

Honestly not sure if I have the exact same pressings you mentioned, but still have all my Blue Notes!

He played live with Bob Cranshow until his last concert. His last show in Barcelona was memorable.

What a whirlwind on your part since May 26th. Great appreciation for all you do on this podcast.
As I was going through my 10 inch lp’s I happened to look up Bud Shank on Wiki, and found that 2026 is also his 100th birthday. I remember him primarily as he teamed up with Bob Brookmeyer on several recordings.
I was fortunate to hear and meet Sonny Rollins at our Clearwater Jazz Holiday in 1988.
