dennismiller55 4,809 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Thanks Dom! This artist is completely new to me. I listened to this in the van today. Fantastic. I could not wait to get home to read his biography. I mainly wanted to see what instrument he was playing. I was not sure if he was piano or the vibraphone. Now I know. 2
dennismiller55 4,809 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I bought this for the song "Last Pork Chop". Great blues. I always have been a fan. Growing up in Texas I have some penchant for country music. Particularly "Outlaw" country. I was home on military leave and saw Hank Jr. at the San Angelo coliseum. What a night. They allowed beer coolers back then. 2

IMHO "Bags" is the premier vibraphonist of the classic jazz era (no slight to Lionel Hampton, Bobby Hutcherson, Red Norvo, Tito Puente or Cal Tjader intended). I'm in the process of uploading my entire collection of Milt Jackson titles (more than 2 dozen) for Zack because his best buddy and frat-mate is teaching him to play vibes.
