Although I had been thinking about it. I thank Tony Dagradi in New Orleans for his collection of possible front cover designs that he created on computer and emailed to me completely out of the blue. Tony used the ST logo in his designs, which I had wanted to name the magazine originally, but domain names cannot be only two letters. Tony’s talents as an accomplished saxophonist are equalled by his keen eye for graphic design on computer. Saxophone Today = ST, and vice versa. Thanks Tony! ST READER COMMENTS EMAILED TO ME This is where the rubber meets the road. I have received many complimentary emails from ST subscribers thanking me for ST, and offering kudos. Your words of support have been a pleasure to read and I thank-you for subscribing. SUBSCRIBERS ASKING FOR HELP VIA EMAIL 98% of ST subscribers have managed the ST website with no problems, and gotten to their magazines. That’s good news. And I’ve answered all subscriber emails needing help, which primarily involved navigating to the (overlooked) “Order Finish Page” to grap the magazine. I appreciate everyone who emailed me and asked for help. I will con- tinue to respond to questions ASAP emailed to [email protected]. § Saxophone Today Publishing Schedule Jan/Feb ST will arrive December 1 Mar/Apr ST will arrive February 1 COVER PHOTOS May/June ST will arrive April 1 Tia Fuller July/Aug ST will arrive June 1 Photo by Keith Major Sept/Oct ST will arrive August 1 Reinhold Schwarzwald Publisher & Editor Nov/Dec ST will arrive October 1 Photo courtesy Reinhold Scharzwald David J.

  • 1 the ERROL BUDDLE STORY (PART TWO) by Eric
    THE ERROL BUDDLE STORY (PART TWO) by Eric Myers ______________________________________________________________ [The following appeared in two editions of Jazz Magazine, January/February, 1983 and May/June 1983.] At the conclusion of The Errol Buddle Story (Part One), Buddle was in the United States in 1954, leading his own quintet at Klein’s jazz club, Detroit. Other than Buddle the group included Barry Harris (piano), Pepper Adams (baritone sax), Major Holley (bass), and Elvin Jones (drums). On Saturday nights, Billy Mitchell (tenor sax) was booked for a three-way battle of the saxes. NOW READ ON… e used to get a lot of people sitting in at Klein’s,” Errol remembers , “Stan Getz used to come in some times. An unknown bass player, a young guy, used to “W come in and stand up in front of the bandstand, almost begging to sit in. His name was Paul Chambers [who later made historic recordings with Miles Davis.] I think he’d only been playing several months at that time.” Buddle remembers meeting Miles Davis himself when the trumpeter was at the Blue Bird Lounge, one of Detroit’s jazz clubs. Miles invited Errol and Don Varella up to his room, where the two Australians were fascinated to see about 40 paperbacks — all Westerns — lining the mantelpiece. They asked Miles why he liked cowboy stories. He replied: “Man, I love horses”, and explained that his father had bred horses on a ranch in the South. This was shortly before Miles Davis, in a supreme act of self-will, kicked the heroin habit. “Miles told us how he was really hooked on drugs”, says Errol, “that he didn’t dig heroin, and wanted to get off it.” One night Buddle had a choice between hearing the Stan Kenton band with Zoot Sims on tenor, or Charlie Parker, who was in Detroit for one night playing at a black dance.
