The Elite Syncopations Jazz Radio Show MAY 9, 2o13

One of these days I’d like to get back to doing my live telephone interviews with the old boppers — (my last was with Curtis Fuller back in early October) — until then I’ll spin disks every Thursday at Noon for 83 minutes. The cool thing about radio is The Sequence — when you hear the jock stringing together a batch of tracks, and you never know how they’ll fit together, could be a disaster, or could be magical. Ideally, each tune is aired as if in a diamond setting simply because of what came before it and after. You can go to KUNM.org and listen to this radio show in the 2-week archive.

    Nice photos! That’s an interesting shot of you and your neighbors in 1982.

  2. Rick DiZenzo

    CyCLofuGlaS! Bop & Bikes!

    That photo of me with the naborhood kids brings to mind Diane Arbus and her world — it has a Diane Arbus quality to it, with a little of Weegee’s Speedgraphic flash for good measure

  4. Bill Payne

    It’s an honor to be included in this group of photographs. I remember that hang with Kenny Davern like it was yesterday. I think the highlight (besides the company) was playing Pee Wee Russel’s clarinet…

    You are THE anthropologist-photographer! You discover and chronicle musical moments in a wonderful tapestry!
