Jazz Corner is a site that has great interest for me. Check out the artists web sites.
They also have interviews, some from back in the day.
Check out Woody's!

I was lucky to know Woody Shaw during this period. Wondeful to hear his voice again. A man who suffered in this life.

Can someone explain to me why there have only been 95 views and three "hits" on the Woody Shaw interview?

To me, this neglect bespeaks poorly on the jazz trumpet community.

asd,
easy, over christmas the married folk doesn't always get a chance to spend much time behind the computer. It steals quality time from the family and the spouses make sure that we know that! The unmarried but attached folk are most likely subject to the same type of "pressure". I can assume that 95 unattached singles have checked it out.
After New Years things should get back to normal.

Well, I'm married--I saw it--in a country that is not my home--and from monitering other posts/threads, plenty of people are "on-line."

But of course, it is THAT time of year, as you say, so perhaps we shall see if your theory holds true after the New Year.

If not...

A happy belated birthday greetings goes out to the Wise One.

Wilmer,your above link is a great New Year's Bop link.
I listened to every word said during that 65:30 minutes and although Woody mentioned his partner in crime,Tyrone Washington on a few occasions,he never mentioned to the interviewer that he and Tyrone's musical ideas/direction is what prompted Mr.Horace Silver to disband his band.

Woody is my elder by 362 days and when he arrived in the belly of the beast or as some may call it "Jazz Mecca" with horn in hand,yours truly was a resident and had already established a foothold in the Washington Square South area.

In his remarks about Willie Bobo and Joe Farrell - somehow I recall Clark Terry as the trumpeter in that band.
In addition,I was led to believe he had enjoyed living and working on the left coast.

Again,thanks for that gem of a link.

On behalf of the married folks,thanks for providing that plausible explanation.
If you are ever in the 'Burgh look me up so I can introduce you to our famous IRON CITY BEER !
Although George Benson was born here in Pittsburgh,it was Grant Green who penned a song titled Iron City.
Live well.

Woody Shaw lived for a time on the west coast jsut before his 1974 Moontrane recording was released. i am not going to go into it, but Woody was a very sick man throughout his life, slowly deteriating eyesite just one of his maladies. By his own words, he went to the west coast to try to put his life together after it had so precariously slipped from his control.
I'll say no more--and either should anyone else.
Remeber him for the music.
