Paul, great collection of jazz greats. Good to see Sonny Rollins today, my first up close and personal was at the Monetery Jazz Festival with B&W. So did some Photoshop for color later. My jazz time was long ago, 1958-65, when MJF started, so have Brubeck "Take Five" crew, Louis, Dizzy, Tjader, Duke, Mingus, James, etc. Last year I put out a blurb edition (688782) - take a look "MJF- The Early Years." Just a few weeks to 2010 MJF! Some close-up times 1-1 with Louis in "My Life - " 240 page book 1492487. Was in Santa Fe Aug. 1-4 this year, first time.
