Dear Clarice,

Thank you very, very much for commenting! It really moves me to know that his family remembers him – I still love to listen to Dicky Wells’ playing: it’s full to the brim with personality, humor, and humanity – it’s truly amazing.

Best,
Randy

I’ve always been a huge Dicky Wells fan, Bill Coleman too. Here is a great Dicky Wells clip I just found that really shows his idiosyncratic side.

This is a great post! Thanks for the info. This is really going to help some of my students. I also found a few smaller Charlie Parker licks for my students to practice. They seemed to gravitate to those more than entire solos. I guess it is easier for the beginning students to digest bebop concepts in very small doses. Bop can be overwhelming at times. Thanks again.

Hey! I stumbled across this site from the post you made about multitracking on the TTF site. I really dig your sound!

Dear Dusty,

Thank you very, very much! I’m not working on more material like this right now (like everyone else, Holiday season’s a busy time for me), but in January and February, when I’m traditionally less busy I’ll probably do more. I’ll have to practice my piano chops first, though!

Thank you again,
Randy

Randy,
I enjoyed your recordings. I was reading the thread on multi-track recording on the TTF this morning. Keep up the good work.
Are you working on more material?
Thanks
Dusty
