Dear Orrin Keepnews, I bought one half ago Explorations by Bill Evans trio.
I'm listening to this amazing CD, and I'm so happy because this music doesn't ever die.
What do you remember about this LP? I wasn't born when it pubblished by Riverside (I was born 1966)

Jazz Songstress Marlena Shaw pays homage to her beloved friend, the late Buddy Montgomery with a "Stellar Performance". Sassy Marlena will have you swaying, toe tapping and just laughing out loud as she reminiscences about Buddy and sings his favorite songs.

I was sincerly touched by eulogy you gave at Buddy Montgomery's Tribute, and wanted to share it with all of Buddy's fans, who could not be there. My God bless and keep you.

Dear Orrin Keepnews, I have a lot of record by Riverside, Milestone etc.
and I'd call you more questions about Monk, Rollins, Cannonball Adderley, Elvin Jones, Wes Montgomery, McCoy Tyner.
I want to know all of him because I Love Jazz Music and I Love this great musicians.
When I bought Brilliant Corner nine uears ago, I ...listened to Pannonica the celesta's sound and when I bought Trident two years ago by McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, Ron Carter, I listened d to the celesta's sound again.
Just was the same instruments played by Monk on Brilliant Corner?
This celesta is also in your recording study?
Could I see a photo?
Thank you so Much

Merrilee All of Provence is awaiting your memoirs.
Morgan Dear Mr. Keepnews. May I respectfully ask how you recorded Ray Barretto? Whilst I'm aware that the greater part of a good recording is down to the performance there's something about the sound (like a report from a shotgun) that you achieved I've never even got close to. Hope you don't mind me asking but we are tearing... our hair out here in the UK. Thanks for the music.x
Merrilee The World is waiting for your memoirs. Several of us reminded you of that on this page, but our comments have disappeared. I remember seeing Valerie Bishop, Miss Kitty, Terri and Dennis Deja, among others. Have you begun writing? This is too important to put on the back burner. What can we do to inspire you?
