Dear SFMC Community
First and foremost we hope you are staying at home safely, it’s the only way we have of controlling this pandemic. No doubt we are in the midst of unprecedented difficult times, and difficult times often require difficult decisions. We have made future concert decisions with respect to cancelling March and April and have cautiously waited to see how things unfold. At this point in time we have witnessed the cancellation of all three major summer tourist events in our beautiful city; International Folk Art Market, Spanish Market and Indian Market all of which would have taken place in July and August. In light of those decisions we have decided to cancel our May and June Concerts at this point in time. Please keep in mind that we will reschedule all of the concerts that have been cancelled as soon as we get a clear picture of what the future will look like. Meantime, we will continue our music posts, hopefully not just for musicians that have passed on as a result of this pandemic.
Please stay home safely.

JIMMY COBB
1929-2020 Jazz drumming master Jimmy Cobb has been playing at his very best right into his 90th year. While he had an illustrious career throughout his life, his most notable musical associations were with Miles Davis from 1957-1963, putting his signature playing on the greatest all-time selling jazz album “Kind of Blue”, and with the Wynton Kelly Trio while still with Miles and throughout the 1960’s. The link below is a rare quartet performance without Miles featuring John Coltrane and the rhythm section of Wynton Kelly and Paul Chambers. In addition, tune in to KSFR on Monday morning 6/1, as I will be doing my first remote broadcast for The Jazz Experience and The Bopera House, featuring Jimmy during the second hour of the show. That’s 9-12 noon mountain time Monday, June 1st on KSFR, 101.1 fm Santa Fe Public Radio. You can also stream us at KSFR.org. |

Celebrating: BUD SHANK
Here's some wonderful music to kick back and listen up Clifford Everett "Bud" Shank, Jr. (May 27, 1926 – April 2, 2009) was an American alto saxophonist and flautist. He rose to prominence in the early 1950s playing lead alto and flute in Stan Kenton's Innovations in Modern Music Orchestra and throughout the decade worked in various small jazz combos. He spent the 1960s as a first-call studio musician in Hollywood. In the 1970s and 1980s, he performed regularly with the L. A. Four. Shank ultimately abandoned the flute to focus exclusively on playing jazz on the alto saxophone. He also recorded on tenor and baritone sax. His most famous recording is probably the version of Harlem Nocturne used as the theme song in Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer. He is also well known for the alto flute solo on the song "California Dreamin'" recorded by The Mamas & the Papas in 1965. |

TONY SOTOS
On Saturday I lost a dear friend and great musician “Tony Sotos”. Tony played tenor saxophone, soprano, and flute and in addition he was a great vocalist. He sounded very much like Frank Sinatra, so much so that he did several films as a Sinatra sound alike. As a teenager he and his brother went on the road and later opened a world class nightclub in Moline Illinois. They played in the club several nights a week and usually brought in headliners on weekends. During the 60’s and 70’s he made a couple of albums and after the club closed he moved back to New York. Over the years he became one of the prominent musicians on the New York scene. Before I moved to New Mexico I was fortunate to play with Tony for several years. Since the founding of SFMC I’ve tried to get Tony out for a concert in Santa Fe, but life kept getting in the way. I saw Tony about five years ago while I was in Las Vegas and he gave me a CD that his brother had compiled. Here is a sample of something he did with Bobby Rosengarden and his orchestra back in the 80’s. - John |
Tony Sotos / Luciano Pavoratti
Anecdote: When I saw Tony in Las Vegas he showed me a beautiful picture of himself with Pavarotti hugging him. At the bottom right it said, “To Tony Sotos, my favorite singer”, signed…...Luciano Pavarotti.
Tony told me the story behind the picture. He had a steady gig at a restaurant located on the ground floor of the building where Pavarotti lived and often ate. When Pavarotti decided to have a birthday party at the same restaurant, he asked the owners to get in touch with the singer he had heard performing there regularly and ask him if he would sing at his birthday party.
Needless to say the band was treated like royalty at the event.
