Stories like the one Russell told need to be told over and over so that they can be passed down to new generations of jazz musicians. It's difficult for newer players to get that kind of mentoring today. Leon Jimmy was an awesome player for sure.

I can echo his sentiments about the late great Jimmy Smith. I met Mr. Smith and Mr. Kenny Burrell while they were play Blues Alley in D.C. in the mid to late 90's. J.S. could be gruff and very direct, I had a chance to meet them in between sets. After playing the Negro National Anthem, he chastised me for not standing. His comment was, you stand for the other one, why not for this one. I don't think that he was joking, that was just J.S. being J.S..

Russell Malone is one of my favorite artists. I was 1st introduced to him when I was 1st introduced to the music of Diana Krall...I was hooked on his playing just from hearing him in those 1st cd's of hers. Thanks, Kevin Leon,
