Wish I'd been there

Great story by the great Nat Hentoff in today’s Wall Street Journal about the new Hyena Records release of a live Joe Williams concert at a little club in Providence, R.I., in 1962. Big Joe walks in and finds Ben Webster sitting in the corner with his sax and asking to sit in. And the rest is history. Good thing somebody brought a tape recorder. Better thing somebody saved the tape. Best thing my man Joel Dorn, late of 32 Jazz and a lot of other stuff, decided to produce this CD, “Havin’ a Good Time.”
