I sent fan mail ....he called me back.....I met and talked to him when he came to OKC he came off the bus and spoked for about 5 mins or so....he said alot by saying a little bit....one of my fave artist of all time...miss his music Good man he was
Great concert. Still have his "Asphalt Gardens" cd on heavy rotation on highway trips. Rip Mr. Howard. Thanks for blessing the world with your brand of jazz. Thanks You tube for giving him a platform.
George Howard was one of the greatest sax men ever. I saw him perform this @ the Myerhoff in Baltimore,MD. in Feb. 1987 & he was outstanding. I'll always cherish the moment & forever miss him. R.I.P. George. Thanx for the memories & The music will live on Forever. Vaya Con Dios Amigo.
I was blessed to have been able to see George perform this & many of his songs @ the Myerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore,MD. in Febreo 1987. My ex-wife treated me to George Howard(b 15 Sept 1956.- 20 Mar.1998) & Bob James that night & I really enjoyed it. George was the consummate gentleman & performer. He was a student of the late Great Grover Washington,Jr. & a great "Saxmaster" in his own right. George left us oh too soon, but his body of work remains to remind us of the joy he brought to us with his music. Rest well Brother George you are missed,but not forgotten. For one shining moment you made this world a truly "Nice Place To Be". Vaya con Dios mi amigo.
I was fortunate enough to have seen him perform at least 3 times, even had the honor of introducing him at an engagement at a local venue, he was fantastic, humorous, very engaging soul. He is dearly missed to this day, and for years, I wondered if there were any live video clips of George out there, thanks to you and RUclips, I know it to be so...May God embrace George's spirit with the love and joy he gave so many here on Earth in his time.
Wow THANKS TO YOU TUBE AND adburger. I was looking for this song since 1987!!!!!!! My mother had an old cassette tape with a collaboration of jazz songs on them and this was one of the songs that I've kept rewinding till the quality got bad. Now I'm going to try to find out what album this song was on since half the battle is now over.
He said are you having a good time and this was his first time playing here. Clean out the wax. G was a gentleman. He didn't speak to his audience nasty

Never got to see George in his prime but he surely inspired many of musicians. Seen a lot of these great jazzy shows in Europe in the last 20 years.
George deserves to be in a good place. RIP

You can buy either the CD or the vinyl at amazon.
Sounded like "Start the Show.... I said Start The Show!!!" Not sure what his deal was.
He said are you having a good time and this was his first time playing here. Clean out the wax. G was a gentleman. He didn't speak to his audience nasty
I couldn't find the live recording.
Where can I purchase this live recording?
