One of the many delights of having a blog is meeting people — not always in person — who enrich your life with their presence, their music, their stories. One such person is banjo player Candace Brown, who’s a member of Chris Tyle’s Silver Leaf Jazz Band. I had posted a clip of that band in full flower, playing the hot jazz we live for.
Candace told me a little bit about the jazz drummer Karl Watt — much beloved and a swinging presence — who is no longer with us. I urge you to read Candace’s story: http://goodlifenw.blogspot.com/2010/07/remembering-karl-watt.html. And even though I don’t live near the Pacific Northwest (a lovely area of the US) her blog, Good Life Northwest, seems to be a renewing delight, and I plan to visit it often.
