My favorite things

Jazz Messengers, remember?

Again, I'm not sure though, it could have been 1970 in NYC, village gate. I had a chance to listen to Mr. Blakey. I had no idea what had happened to him. He was bad player. Besides, there were no sidemen from this recording session, no Timmons, Gorden, nor Mr. Morgan the trumpet player.


We copied Messengers. The toughest was the Blues March. I had to keep hitting keyboard all the way for 10-15 minutes restless. Mr Timmons in this record represents the era of groove, don't you think? Wow, so nostalgic. The theme of this tune was everywhere in Tokyo during 60es, you cannot believe, yeah but that's the truth I remember. . . . .
