Happy International Jazz Day. Gato Barbieri - Europa (composed by Carlos Santana)
I think I first heard Gato Barbieri from Argentina on an album that I took out of the Anza Branch Library.

Happy International Jazz Day. I first heard the International Sweethearts of Rhythm on a compilation album that I took out of the library. I was impressed. They were the first integrated all female band in the US. Members were African-American, Asian-American, European-American, Mexican-American and Native American.

Today is International Jazz Day. In honor of International Jazz Day, here is a photo of famed New Orleans reed player, band leader and composer, Sidney Bechet, playing his famed alto saxophone. Bechet led a troubled life. He was deported from France after a women was shot during a gun battle between Bechet and a fellow musician. He went to the UK, where he picked up the soprano sax and got deported after an assault. Back in the US, he played and recorded regularly. He returned to France in 1950 and spent the rest of his life there. I always enjoy listening to his music.

Here is Thelonious Sphere Monk (1917-1982), great American composer and piano player, posing on Powell/Hyde cable car 526 (now 26) on the cover of his album Thelonious Monk Alone in San Francisco. He liked San Francisco. The image is from the wonderful site LucyWho (http://www.lucywho.com/).
This is the 1300th post in this blog.
