Three Wishes
Ray Bryant gave the Baroness his answer to her question when asked what his three wishes would be:
- “I really don’t have any wishes. I’m happy. I might have had some, but they’ve all been fulfilled.”

The Jazz Voyager
The Jazz Voyager is back in New Orleans, Louisiana on the Frenchman strip for a late night of jazz at the Blue Nile. Situated in the heart of the historic Faubourg Marigny district at 532 Frenchman Street 70016, it is one of the longest standing clubs in the city and offers an eclectic array of music as only NOLA does. Housed in a 1832 building, the decor of this intimate space is blue and gold, giving it a ritzy atmosphere.
Reportedly the first building erected and the first club to institute the culture of live music on the street, this Jazz Voyager checked the clubs calendar and will witness to the talents of Kermit Ruffins and The BBQ Swingers. The set begins at 11:00 and as always it is recommended to make reservations and purchase tickets online or at 504-948-2583. No tickets to purchase means availability at the door only 1 hour before performance. Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday music begins around 7:00pm and there is never a cover unless otherwise specified, however, a drink purchase is required. #wannabewhereyouare #jazz #voyager #travel #club #adventure

Requisites
Alligator Bogaloo is the 1967 hard bop and soul jazz album by jazz alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson recorded on the Blue Note label. It features Donaldson with Melvin Lastie on cornet, Lonnie Smith on organ, George Benson on guitar, and Leo Morris on drums, a.k.a. Idris Muhammad.
The success of the title track surprised Donaldson as they were three minutes short for the session and had no more material. So he came up with a riff the guys could follow for three minutes to fill out the time, and that was the only thing that sold on the record.
The album’s six tracks are listed as Alligator Bogaloo, One Cylinder, The Thang, Aw Shucks!, Rev. Moses, and I Want a Little Girl. The album was produced by Alfred Lion and recorded at Van Gelder Studios in Englewood, New Jersey. #jazz #classic #collectible #music
