JAZZ ANECDOTE BY BILL CROW Bill Crow's books "Jazz Anecdotes" and "From Birdland to Broadway" can be found at your favorite bookstore, and at www.billcrowbass.com along with many interesting photos and links. I was walking down West 48th Street one day and ran into a bass player I hadn’t seen for a year or so. “What have you been up to?” I asked. He gave me a meaningful look and con- fided, “I just spent six months on the road with an all-Capricorn band!” Todd Stoll posted this story on Facebook: In about 1986 or so, Red Rodney was a guest soloist with our college band. He was hilarious and self-deprecating and generally in good spirits. At the first rehearsal he was on a stool next to me in the trumpet section and we were about to play a burning of Donna Lee. Red looked at me and said, “Ya know, my hip has really been bothering me, and ya know, I’ve been kind of sick, and well, man, my chops just aren’t up. I haven’t been practicing...” Just on and on and on. Mind you, the tune had already started. And then he turned and hit the solo break, and played the most incred- ible, aggressive, high-note on fire bop line I’ve ever heard. When this pure fire of a solo was over, he looked over at my astonished 22-year old face and said, “Guess I’m feeling better.”

A Moment You Missed by Fran Kaufman Hot House Contributing Photographer Central Park has been my savior during the Covid lockdown. I try to walk there every day. What an awesome surprise to discover that one of my favorite musicians, the bassist Dezron Douglas, uses the north end of the park for his daily workouts. And does he work out! Jumping rope, multiple push-ups and lifting weights are in his regiment. Just after the rain ended August 19, I found Dezron jumping rope at the Conservatory Garden. We talked TV streaming, politics and music as he worked out.
