Charlie Parker and Coleman Hawkins play together (with Ray Brown and Buddy Rich)
By Jack Brummet, Jazz Ed.
Two favorites performing together. . .with Ray Brown (whom I got to see just once; Bird died when I was two years old, and Hawkins died just a few years before I got into jazz). Not quite so sure about Buddy Rich—I'm not a fan of his over the top drum attacks or his notorious treatment of young band members on the road. Check out his rants here: http://youtu.be/omID1prJHFo).

Neil Young performs Needle Of Death in Jack White's Third Man phono-recording booth
By Jack Brummet, Americana and Roots Music Ed.
Neil Young playing Bert Jansch's Needle of Death in Jack White's vintage phonograph recording booth, from his new album Letters From Home. This song is maybe my favorite (Del's too) from the album.
"I was especially taken by Needle Of Death, such a beautiful and angry song. That guy was so good… And years later, on On The Beach, I wrote the melody of Ambulance Blues by styling the guitar part completely on Needle Of Death. I wasn’t even aware of it, and someone else drew my attention to it."

Throwback Thursday - My grandparent's tavern in Carnation, Wash., and teething on my Grandpa's hook arm
By Jack Brummet
Throwback Thursday: photographs of my grandparents' tavern in Carnation (the weird lines are due to the photo being trashed), in the early 50's, and one of me teething on my Grandpa Dell's hook arm in 1954. Interestingly, I also had another uncle with a wooden leg. You don't really see either hook arms, or wooden legs anymore. . .but growing up I thought it was perfectly normal.
