Shawn,
Man I didn't expect to wake up to this. I did my first record with Mile's wife Betty, Buddy played guitar and I played drums. A few weeks before in 1967 my friends wanted me to go hear him in Sacramento, I was being a jazz snob and didn't want to go, they convinced me anyway and I hea him do "Them Changes" and he totally blew my mind. We became friends that night. He was an important part of "The Movement" if you will at that time. I am deeply saddened and will miss him

I'm sad to hear that Buddy Miles passed away. I met and hangout with him back in the day! He was a great drummer, singer and songwriter! He will be missed!
RIP Buddy Miles!
Take care Shawn,

The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

The great composer and bandleader was distraught over the 1967 death of Billy Strayhorn, his songwriting and arranging partner of 28 years. But Ellington took Strayhorn's passing as an impetus, born of necessity, to increase his own productivity. Here are five examples.
At the Village Vanguard, one flight down from the hubbub of New York City, in a tight space packed with people, we're about to embark on a musical odyssey by sea. Our captain is saxophonist Chris Potter, who's launching his Odyssey-inspired album The Sirens.
The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.
Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.
