I have been thinking alot about Ross the last few weeks. More than I had when he passed. I mean don’t get me wrong, I was thinking about him and very sad after he passed but I was so unbelievably busy that I was able to distract myself from the sadness. Now that my craziness has subsided he has been in my thoughts a lot and I miss him so unbelievably. I love you Roscoe!
More on the Village Vanguard front. Read the comments to that post. A few people have come to it’s defence, naturally and with some good points but most of the defences have talked about how the VV is so historical and how it is the best jazz club in the world, the most famous etc. I think I even said that. Anyways, no one really seems willing to talk about their attitudes, their rudeness etc. In any event, I’m going to tell my whole story in an upcoming blog post very soon. I’m just waiting to get one story from one member of our group before posting.
And oh by the way did you know that Jed Eisenmann, one of the guys who was an asshole at the front door to one of our people had a lawsuit filed against him and The Village Vanguard. Check it out. Deep and heavy stuff.
