The classic performance of Sonny Boy Williamson and Elmore James' "One Way Out" by The Allman Brothers Band on what would be Duane Allman's 78th birthday. We remember not just Duane and Gregg Allman, but also, Dickey Betts, who we lost earlier this year, as well as Berry Oakley and Butch Trucks. Jaimoe, the second drummer for the Allman Brothers, is now the only surviving original member of the band. The Allman Brothers Band have indeed secured their place in the canon of American music history and in the history of the blues. That is for sure.
The String Cheese Incident performs "New York Jam" into "Howard" on night two of their two-night run at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY on 11/02/2024.

This week's Sunday Special. Another tribute to the late, great jazz drummer, Roy Haynes.
From Bret "Jazz Video Guy" Primack.
Dick Gibson’s Jazz Parties were annual gatherings initiated in 1963 by Denver businessman and jazz enthusiast Dick Gibson. These events brought together prominent jazz musicians and fans for weekend-long jam sessions in intimate settings, fostering a unique and collaborative atmosphere.
The inaugural party took place at the Jerome Hotel in Aspen, Colorado, over Labor Day weekend. Due to its success, the event was held the following year at Casino Vail in Vail, Colorado. Over the years, the parties moved to various locations, including the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs and venues in Denver.
These gatherings featured a roster of jazz legends, such as Clark Terry, Zoot Sims, and Eubie Blake, performing in spontaneous and diverse ensembles. The format of these parties was instrumental in revitalizing the jazz scene during a period when other music genres were gaining prominence.
The success of Gibson’s Jazz Parties inspired similar events across the United States, contributing to a broader jazz revival. The parties continued annually until 1992, leaving a lasting impact on the jazz community.
Here, a Roy Haynes solo performance from the 1977 party.
