And also by the fact that i won t be Able to pick up the phone i and say hey. Pony come on Over and Well quaff a few pc while the wife puts dinner  because Pony besides being one of the living pillars of that Structure known As the Charlie Park r school of saxophone playing is also a Good Friend who could beguile me for hours and also destroy some pre conceived images with his talks of the jazz Biz and the musicians he has known and worked with during his 37 years As a professional jazz artist. And he s played with some of the greats. Bom in new Orleans his first gig at the age of 14 paid him the astronomical sum of $1.50 a week. He came from these Humble beginnings to play with the likes of Billy Eckstine. Lionel Hampton. Billie Holiday Bird and the instrumental group that backed the legendary Bop Era Trio of Lambert Hendricks and Ross. For the past 13 years Little Pony look it up in your count Basic disc ology it was written by neat Hefti after Hefti heard Pony playing a phrase he had picked up from Parker has lived in Europe appearing at every major festival and recording with some of the giants of the jazz world both american and european. His last major . Recording for Columbia was entitled super sax session. It included Dexter Gordon. Eric Dolphy and Elvin Jones and. Pony feels was the inspiration for the More recent West coast super sax recordings which transpose Bird s improvisations into the harmonious blending of a saxophone Section accompanied by a big band format. The Sanguin eness that i feel stems from the Success that Gordon is enjoying after his recent a blossoming in the Root country of jazz also after a prolonged european hiatus. Here s hoping that Pony meets with As much Success and artistic fulfilment As Dex has.
