Leon Parker

I need to put in a plug for jazz drummer Leon Parker. I'm spinning his cd "Belief" and it's extraordinary. Entrancing rhythms, wild horns, bold chant and call, imaginative drumming. Highly, highly recommended!

Sorry, don't know any of Leon's biography. I just assume it's his real name. Anyway, give the cd a listen--it's really pretty amazing.

That most people live here as a statement rather than just place to live.

Do you know Wynton Kelly? He is my Jazz plug before any others.

Yup, got "Kelly Blue" on the desk here with me. He played with some guy named Miles Davis, right?

Yup and some other unknown on an LP called 'very large steps' or something

Kelly Blue is one of my favourite LPs of all

Pity he had to die so young.
