New/Last Woody Shaw

This is the last unposted song from the video tape I made of Woody's gig at the Charles Hotel courtyard in Cambridge on 8.21.85.

Personnel is:
Woody Shaw-trumpet.
Stanley Cowell-piano
David WIlliams-bass
Terri-Lyne Carrington-drums

Frank Foster Quartet-4.10.85

Another in a series of videos I shot in the 80's and 90's, which have never been seen.

Foster, longtime soloist with (and eventual leader of) the Basie band, is a guy who devours changes. The rest of the group are no slouches.
Frank Foster-sax
Rufus Reid-bass
Kenny Barron-piano
Terri-Lyne Carrington-drums


It took Foster a long time to find his way to Wellesley College for this concert, so he improvised this title:"The Leaving New York On a Rainy Friday And Arriving at 5:15 at Logan Airport in Boston On a Rainy Friday and Having One Heck of a Time Getting to Wellesley Blues."

Raphe Malik Quartet Live at the Willow-Pt.1

I recorded this 20 years ago, on 1/21/91 at the Willow Jazz Club in Ball Sq., Somerville.

The musicians are:

Raphe Malik-trumpet
Brian King Nelson-sax
Dennis Warren-drums
Larry Roland-bass

The passing of time only seems to make this material stronger. There is such fire and intelligence at work here.

This tune is too long for YouTube, so I had to divide it into 2 videos.
