: While living in Brooklyn, NY and a student of the Barry Harris "Jazz Cultural Theater", I had the honor of a phone call from Jon Hendricks asking if I would be interested in auditionig for a new group at HIS apt in NYC. Couldn't believe it! We worked on "Royal Garden Blues, Lil' Darlin, and others. I didn't make the group, but it was and is one of my most memorable experiences ever. I am now in Charlotte, NC trying to "keep the flame" of vocalese in this culturally deprived um 'city'.
: Been in NC too long and really miss the NY scene.
: Is there a way to contact Jon?
Dear Jonathan,
I am mindful of your "flame keeping" in Charlotte and believe me, my heart goes out to you. You have been referred to my website, so let's talk.
Sincerely,
Jon
