    The triplets are very talented too, particularly Petra.
    Thank you for that, Paul.

    (Spiritual with Charlie & Pat Metheny)




    Notice that Charlie's playing-stance is facing his family, in the David Letterman clip.

    Usually performed in a self-effacing manner...turned sideways from stage-front...communing with his bass.

    That concert in Santa Monica, was held at McCabe's Guitar Center...small hall ... Charlie's family was sitting in front of us (my drinking buddy & me).

    Charlie was upset because he had left his jacket on one of their chair-backs and

    "What did you lose, Dad?"

    "MY JACKET!"

      As ever, JRR would like to hear from you with suggestions for tracks to remember Charlie. All periods from Ornette to the newly released Last Dance with Jarrett. Aiming at 9 August for the CH tribute show. Email:

        Haden played with all the greats, from Ornette Coleman to Keith Jarrett. And when the bassist died this month, a little bit of Geoff Dyer died with him. He pays tribute to a giant of jazz

          Liam Noble, great pianist if not great conversationalist (to me, at any rate ) has written something about Charlie Haden in his blog which I have only just discovered and find full of the little wisdoms that occasionally pass through one's mind before being dismissed as inappropriate to any narrative, least of all one's own; such being the sound of surprise:

          Jazz Musician gets tangled in Words. The perils of being an introvert and performer in the 21st Century.

            Thanks for that SA. Really enjoyed LN's thoughts on Haden and the two other pieces below it. He writes well and with a wit. Excellent.

              According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

                Very sorry to hear about this - I got to meet him after a Geri Allen trio gig at the Turner Sims years ago and we had a brief chat. What a lovely man as well as a great bass player: no fancy stuff, just plenty of soul.

                (I didn't get to shake hands with Paul Motian, though).

                Only Ornette left from that original quartet....

                    That was classic, Calum!

                    For me, this 1990 version of Spiritual by the Liberation band starring Ray Anderson is a throwback to the streets of New Ohleens:

                      This superb bass solo played on Paul Jones Radio 2 show last night(1/9/14):

                      En lo profundo de los Blues,disco lanzado en agosto de 1996, es una sesión de improvisación fascinante entre James Cotton , el guitarrista Joe Louis Walker ,...
