Program #173: 5/3/89 and 5/10/89

The last tune from May 3rd, 1989, followed by the first two selections from the following week, at Ephraim’s in Sudbury, Massachusetts. The musicians are Jimmy Mazzy (banjo/vocals), Fred Lind (cornet), Paul Meymaris (clarinet), John Kafalas (tuba), Milt Steinmetz and Don Frothingham (piano), and Stu Grover (drums). The selections are “Who’s Sorry Now,” “Breezin’ Along With the Breeze,” and “If I Had My Way.” These last two tunes appeared in program #15, back in 2008 — however, they should sound better in this program, because I have a better digital audio converter than the one I used to use when I originally started the Jimmy Mazzy & Friends podcast.

Podcast #158: 1/11/89 Part I

Part I of the session from January 11, 1989. It’s actually from the second set, however, because it’s Tape 2 from that evening. The first tape from January 11th has gone missing, although I probably have it somewhere. In any case, the musicians in this program are Jimmy Mazzy on banjo and vocals, Fred Lind on cornet, Dr. Paul Meymaris on clarinet, myself John Kafalas on trombone, Carol Moeller and Don Frothingham on piano, and I think that’s Hans Brack on bass. I think I’m playing alto trombone, which I had just started playing in early 1989. The selections are, Sittin’ on Top of the World, Georgia On My Mind, and Them There Eyes. Carol Moeller plays the first song, then turns the Steinway over to Don for the remainder of the program. Send questions or comments to podcast @ kafalas.com.

The selections are, I Believe In Miracles, a tune I’m not sure of the title of, followed by I Got A Right To Sing the Blues, and Thanks A Million. There’s a slight break in the last tune, cutting off Jim’s vocal — that’s because the tape ran out, and I had to flip it over and start recording on the other side – sorry about the break, but it’s a great song, so I thought it was worth including.
