Billy Preston “Summertime” live in 1972

Andrew Hill’s Black Fire is still one of my favorites. It was my first exposure to Joe Henderson and Andrew’s beautiful compositions. Plus Richard Davis. And Roy Haynes! original copy I bought in 1964. With liner notes from one of my favorite writers of the time, AB Spellman.

Those who know know. The Archie Shepp-Bill Dixon Quartet. From Savoy around same time as they released Marzette's album. Original copy form 1965, cover shows its age but, the music is quite intact!

Happy birthday to the great Pharoah Sanders! I have to say, likely, the most intense music I’ve ever experienced live are the early Pharoah performances with the first bands he put together after Trane’s passing. In the spring of ‘68, I would go hear him at the East Village Inn…

Playing Monks in Austin, Texas tonight with a stellar band including @chasebairdmusic see you soon!

Incredible to see this display at the Austin record store End of an Ear. !! I’ll be hanging out at the store signing records at 4pm on Oct 11. Then I’ll play Monks in Austin on Oct 13. Come say hey!

[Alan Braufman @AlanBraufman]

…good memories and also leaves a few mysteries. I haven’t recorded many of my gigs as, I never really had much desire to listen to them afterward. But this from so long ago would be interesting to hear. Not only of myself but, Stan and Bill, as well!

[Alan Braufman @AlanBraufman]

Ahmad’s in Cambridge used to have some great bands! Billy Peirce, Stan Strickland! I wish, i remembered who Pierre Eugene was, any help? This was in the early ‘70s, I cannot remember who was playing in my band. Finding old posters is kind of cool, reminds me...

[Alan Braufman @AlanBraufman]

The show is Oct 13 at Monks and I’ll also be hanging out at End of an Ear, a great Austin record store on Oct 11 at 4pm. Hope to see you there.

[Alan Braufman @AlanBraufman]

Austin Oct 13!

The last time I played in Austin was 1978 as a member of Carla Bley’s band. I’m excited to perform my music there for the first time with an amazing band of Austin musicians, including my former student, Chase Baird.
