Fascinating. Thanks for your questions, Suzanne. Love the detail.

She is an amazing singer, whom I had the pleasure of photographing in Doylestown Pennsylvania.

Miss going to Ortliebs's when you were there. Just saw you playing on the video with Skip Moyer.

Thank you Philly Jazz for this great interview with my heroes John and Brian!

Tom is such a genius! What a unique talent!!

❤ You are the best

Hi Philadelphia Legacy Jazz Project! Thank you for this view into the life and musical development of pianist/composer Tom Lawton. Yes, he's truly a gifted individual. He demonstrates exceptionalism in artistic expression and performance technique. He has a deep understanding of the jazz repertoire. His original compositions, including his 2004 double CD "Retrospective/Debut" should be on everyone's shelf. Just fyi and if I'm not incorrect, in the interview Tom mentions early rock bands Wolfbane Drake and Berlin Airlift. Although you didn't mention it above in your RUclips summary, he also mentions "Blind Faith" (ie. a 1969 English rock super-group). I believe that was just a slip and he meant "Blind Alley". Bret

CTI records (Creed Taylor) used Bob James a lot on the Rhodes piano, and Don Sebesky arranged many of the string parts. I think Quincy Jones did some arrangements too.

solid playing all around.

Gerald Price was the teacher of my first teacher, Ted Yusko. Ted would mention Gerald often in our lessons. It is so nice to hear him play! Thanks for the audio.

My Great Aunt Pearl!!!😘😘😘🎼🎼🎼

❗ *promosm*

Huge fan since I was a kid. Your music transcends time . god bless 🙏

Alfie Politt played piano with my sibling with my parent in a group named "The Original Slaves" in Philly in the 60's

Yeah- 1974!

Sadly Jef never got recognition he deserved. A great influence on me!

I played in a cover band on the road when I was 18 in 1963 -67. Played tenor sax. And I played the tenor solo on the Bill´s record 6 nights a week and a Saturday matinee. The guitar player played that great guitar solo! We played for dancing, we are a white band playing all over the states in white clubs. The owners at more than one of these places told us to not play Black music because they did not want Black people in the venues. But we still played Honky Tonk. It had crossed over I guess.

Great guy great interview

Desde entonces no a cambiado mucho el panorama para un músico de Jazz.

💚

Great John. One of my favorite trumpet player. I have many cd in collection.

Plandemic 👹💉😷🐑🤡🌎☠️

Would like to know Mr Price if you are still playing the piano.Would like to see you again if you are still performing.

I remember listening to you play a great set on the piano Mr Price at the piano bar in 1979 and 1980. I was a waitress bartender during the time you were playing solo jazz piano as well as some duos with Betty Duff. You made working at the commissary a / piano bar a great time with your Jazz piano and mellow melodies. The crew at the time was Bob, Karen, Curtis, Marian Jody Maria and myself...Carole. What a fantastic memory!

He had to have taken lessons with woody Shaw in the 80s. I’ll ask him 🐬

Based set list 🐬

The great Tony Williams !

The 1830's? This is amazing. Understand the modern arrangement is much different from the original but the music is there and present and astounding, this guy was a true genius. So glad he is found.

brilliant program, great tribute to an amazing guitarist.

Love Mr. Tony Williams he has done so many wonderful things for the Philadephia community. I had the wonderful oppurtunity to play with him in my high school years.

ThankYou for this Great Tribute of Jef Lee Johnson a Amazing Spirit! Rest in Peace!🙏🏾💯🎸🔥

I love Lee Morgan’s music ❤

Maybe you could find out about his early Sideman Jobs, because Discogs has him on Records since 1974. Not only 1986.

I was glad to have promoted a Concert with Ronald Shannon Jackson, Dom Richards, Dave Fiyucinski and Jef Lee Johnson in Spring 1992 in the Rote Fabrik in Zürich. Great Good Memories.

Lmao john swana on tenor sax lmao

Sure, use common sense and protect yourself and loved ones........however the way that filthy and corrupted politicians have used this to for their personal gain and power is despicable.

You’re a great player, I think you should be a busy guy, hope things get better.

Thank you for this. Tyrone Brown is a mentor, hero & friend.

Thank you. Missing his music so much! I agree with Marvin S.: Jef was much more than an outstanding guitar player --he was a damn great musician.

I really enjoyed listening to this wonderful story about how and when Pete bought Ortlieb's. I always wondered why I didn't spend more time there. And, now I know why! I had moved to Atlantic City as my main income source, PIR, had dried up and I had to find a quick place to make a living with a family. I am sad that I hadn't been more involved there with all of the wonderful Philly cats who played there every night.

“Hey, what should we do for the title card?” “Oh, y,know. Just make me look smug and evil.”

So nice to hear Pete! Pete did SOOOOOOO much for jazz in Philadelphia!

Love these insights. Have become a McKenna fan ! B.

I saw/ heard, Lee Morgan, play with The Art Blakey Jazz Messengers, at The Free Trade Hall, Manchester, England, UK, in 1961. Bobby Timmons, also in the Messengers. Thelonious Monk, was on the other half of this Concert. Sorry for being boringly nostalgic. Peace to all.
