Hello everyone!
Do you know the source of this quote from J.J.?
"To sit in the audience and witness a Carl Fontana performance is a mind-blowing experience."
It appears in Tom Everett's article "Master of Bebop" (ITA Journal vol 21 nº1 page 17)
Thanks!!

Sorry, no, but it does make perfect sense to me.

Re: JJ's quote about Fontana?
I don't know either but I'd bet he interviewed JJ.
I know that JJ played at the Nashville ITW in 1988. I'm not sure but I think that was the only time he was there

Yeah, there is a fragment of ten minutes of an interview from 1972, but it's not complete...
I'll keep digging, thanks!

Re: JJ's quote about Fontana?
Wow - that sounds amazing. A trombone battle between Carl and JJ? And Jimmy Knepper too? Hopefully it sees the light of day someday. I'd love to hear that.
