Harold Mabern, a true class act. Great educator and human being in addition to his masterful skills as a pianist and jazz musician. In high school he co-led a Jazz workshop every Monday night at a local university near me. Harold was so inspirational, encouraging and just great at communicating the art of jazz to young musicians.
Avery was a huge influence on me when i first started playing double bass, and still is after watching this! Seeing Avery with McCoy at the Newport Jazz festival was an incredible experience. What a band that was. McCoy, Avery, Aaron Scott and Michael Brecker.. wow!
What amaze me about these great musicians is how humble they are . Especially jazz musicians ,Harold mabern has particular way of touching the piano," sweet fingers" . I have great respect for him . RIP.
How can I be the 1st to comment on this amazing man and his fascinating story, such an education about his musical evolution, and it is just really cool!
Nice interview Justin. We have a little, musical, parallel My daughters' Dad, Eric Schanz's Father was a seasoned, sax player from Brooklyn and his Mom was an amazing singer. Born in Springfield, MA. She moved to Brooklyn.
Mike Clarke. I live for the funk and jazz you’re talking about. I’ve been borrowing from Thruat, and The Funk Stops Here for most of my playing life. I love your playing. I wish you all the best my brother
It was nice to hear Harold talk highly of Lee, it’s consistent with interviews I have read of other great musical collaborators who shared the stage with Morgan 🙏🏾🕊️
The Gigolo, one of Lee's greatest recordings, with one of the great trios behind him and Wayne. "You Go To My Head" is my all time Lee classic, one of the greatest interpretations of that tune.
The man was an icon. He's one of those unsung artists that should have been granted more exposure and accolades that he received. I hope Spike was able to come to terms with his passing. I was just as stubborn with my father, and it took me a long time to forgive myself after he passed. It's very difficult being apart from you parents or children because of past gripes.
“ bless you, Lee Morgan bless you your Caramba uplifted me in many ways that LP help carry me through life Caramba Mr. Lee Morgan, and your gig with Lonnie Smith on the LP Think son of ice bag jam on on the spiritual plane Mr. Lee Morgan miss you so “ R.I.P “
I really appreciate how you knowlegeably showcase musicians and we learn about them and you. I've seen Benny quite a bit on smalls livestream and was glad to hear about his mom and teachers influenced his singing. You are a gracious host. Are you still playing??
