Here's a quick Post- 2025 Rochester International Jazz Festival. Although, I didn't get to attend any of the shows, I was there in spirit. In a show of support, I wore the Jazz 90.1 t-shirt to the Public Market yesterday, and got two shout-outs and thumbs up of approval, so the love of jazz was present.
I waited to share this exciting news, so not to be buried in the RIJF posts, that a long-lost recording of my father, Sam Woodyard and pianist Dave Burrell, has finally surface. My thanks to Jean-Marie Juif for this notice on the Duke Ellington Society facebook page. I had read mentions of this studio session several times online over the year. I've already ordered two copies of the CD, and plan to donate one to Jazz90.1. It should arrive in August, hopefully sooner.
Now, for my regular Sunday Music Muse Day selections, first up, Pat Martino Remember - A Tribute to Wes Montgomery. The title tell you all you need to know. The late outstanding Pat Martino playing the music written by, and associated with the legendary jazz guitarist, Wes Montgomery is a must-have. I'm not a completist when it comes to collecting music, or anything else, but I'm always willing to pick up a Pat Martino recording I don't have. You should to.
So, that's this week's Sunday Music Muse. Again, I wait to share Sam's Lost Recording. Until than, enjoy.
