[Tradjazz] Fred Vigorito - HOT CORNET

[Bruce McNichols]

Bud, De Witt, and all,

I never intended to overlook anyone but of course, I sure did.  Just for the 
record, I'm a big fan of Scott and of Danny.  And, of course, we've 
forgotten dozens more.

>> It's hard to admit, but those two are the young guys, in "our" music.
>> Randy R. (I say that to distinguish him from Randy Sandke, another of the
>> greats in music), is clearly at the top of the music scene these days.
>>
>> Jon- Erik Kellso first came to my attention when he came into town (NYC)
>> to
>> perform with Vince Giordano's Nighthawks (how Vinnie digs up these gems, 
>> I
>> ll never know). It was then that we booked Jon on as many gigs as we
>> could.
>>
>> Please know that Jon has been appearing every Sunday evening, at a
>> wonderful
>> yet little known, place called The Ear Inn.
>>  326 Spring St., New York, NY 10013
>>  near. Greenwich St. , New York, NY    212-226-9060
>> Jon is there each Sunday evening.  Recently, Lynne and I dropped in.  We
>> enjoyed burgers and really dug the funky  scene.  That night, Jon 
>> (cornet)
>> had with him, the wonderful Matt Munisteri (guitar), Joel Forbes (string
>> bass man extrorinaire) and Mark Shane (the best piano man around).
>>  We not only had a ball, but we parked on the street, right outside the
>> place.
>> The Ear Inn, attracts the best people.  We encountered the fine guitar
>> man,
>> Chris Flory, ace trombonise, Harvey Tibbs, and our buddy, Jim Fryer
>> (trombone, cornet, euphonium) who introduced us to the trombone lady from
>> Mighty Aphgrodite, the wonderful band from Canada that's knockin' 'em 
>> dead
>> on the festival circuit.  These and many more, sit in regularly at that
>> very
>> special gig.
>>
>> Again, my apologies if I deigned to imply that I was rating one player
>> against the other.  The botoom line is, all of those that I mentioned, 
>> are
>> clearly NUMBER ONE.
