I was treated to a birthday party/jam session by my girlfriend Debra and daughter Roslyn. They did a wonderful job. We had a really good time! A few of my musician friends came over and we jammed hard. Among the musicians in attendance were Mark Schmidt, Al Threats, Tony Drake, Lisa Gay Drake, Ken Elliot, Al Starks, Ken Williams, Michael Sessions, Everett Turner, Steve Smith, Adrian Peek, Kafi Roberts and Michael Rosen. It was beyond description as to how I felt having some people over whom I have known since I came to L.A. not to mention some of the best Jazz musicians you probably never heard of come out to support me. Adrian and I were in our first band together 44 years ago. He had to leave for a gig and we did not get to play for the jam but I am so glad he and Julie were there. There is a story for each of the other musicians who are named above but I will save that for my book. My daughter video taped the event but she also had her two kids to watch plus party duties so we did not tape the whole thing but I got some great moments in the hour and twenty minutes we did get (Thank you Roslyn, I love you so much). Most of the guest have screen credit on the full video but a lot of them (especially the musicians) are named in this cut for YouTube. I hope you at least get a sense of how great a time was had by all. This version is a bit cleaner than the one I originally put up and reflects 46 additional hits from the first version.
