Happy Winter!
Wishing you warmth, peace and happiness as the light returns.

Our new musical offering for the season is "Wonders Never Cease" -- a horn rich, bass forward, guitar sparkled, accordion laced instrumental with a sweet celebratory and exultant feel that suits this time of year perfectly.

Jazztodon artist of the week: Julian Priester! Trombonist Priester was a member of Sun Ra's big band, recording several albums with the group, before leaving Chicago in 1956 to tour with Lionel Hampton, and he then joined Dinah Washington in 1958. The following year he settled in New York and joined the group led by drummer Max Roach, who heard him playing on the Philly Joe Jones album, "Blues for Dracula" (1958). While playing in Roach's group, Priester also recorded two albums as a leader, "Keep Swingin’" and
Spiritsville.” In 1969, he accepted an offer to play with Duke Ellington's big band, and he stayed with that ensemble for six months, before leaving in 1970 to join pianist Herbie Hancock's fusion sextet. In the 1980s, he became a member of the Dave Holland's quintet, and also returned to Sun Ra's band for a few recordings. Priester continues to record albums under his own name.
