I appreciate and thank Europeans for the many films of American music geniuses we ignored

Yup Europe recognized jazz geniuses. In Poland Miles davis was treated like a King, like he deserved. He was surprised, he mentioned it in his biography

I agree. Could it be that America was still fighting a “civil” war 100 years after THE Civil War”? I was born one before this recording was made and I feel that progress has been slow. I find Europe to be open minded socially (in general) and does a better job of taking care of its people. I like to go to France; the kids tend to be well behaved, the bread doesn’t give me an upset stomach, fruits and vegetables taste like they should, meals are not rushed, etc. sorry for the tangent. It’s nice the see the performance and not just hear it. Miss the class.

I was vibesman in the rhythm section at a gig in Amsterdam, the Engelebevaarder Cafe, late 80’s. Suddenly our drummer, King Mock, looked out the window and said to us, “Hey man, Woody Shaw! “ And Danny Richmond, who took over the drums for the rest of the night! Imagine. Woody played about four numbers with us, but I can tell you that Danny drove us to the heights. Unforgettable.

I didn't realize it until seeing the colorized version of this set that Johnny Coles suffered from vitiligo. A stellar trumpet player truly in the technically artistic vein of Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard. Unsung in the annals of jazz, but certainly worthy of recognition for his interpretation of the art form. Rest in peace my brother. 🎺
