My eclectic mix of beautiful music - Frank Vignola, Vinny Ranioli (he will kill me, I think I misspelled it) and Matt Catingub

Lou's tunes

Matt Catingub, Kevin Winard and Patrice Rushen at the Monterey Jazz Festival with the California All-Star Jazz Band, September, 1982; their first time playing together; Matt starts a mini-riot when he points out that his mom is in the audience. Matthew's joy is infectious; I can tell Kevin is making him laugh. &nbsp;Oh yes, then an odd segue into a Woody Herman set that night - okay, so I'm new at this and couldn't figure out how to edit. &nbsp;But Woody is actually quite good, too.



2 Catnip - Matt Catingub and the California All-Star Jazz Band

Matt Catingub, Kevin Winard and Patrice Rushen, Dave Koz, Mark Marcus, Steve Rosenbloom with an introduction by Jimmy Lyons, at the Monterey Jazz Festival, September 1982 - Jimmy says that Thad Jones named Matt "Baby Be-Bopper", but it was really Dizzy Gillespie, who kind of chuckled and said it to me as he was warming up backstage - of course, like a rabid fan, I was standing next to him, fervently hoping he would say something I could repeat later, and this was a pearl.  He actually called him "Baby Bull Be-Bopper" - I'm still trying to figure that out.
