Allen: I don't think Gene Jackson the drummer is anywhere close to 75 years of age... unless there are 2 Gene Jackson's who are currently playing drums. The one I know is closer to 45..... tho I'm not sure of the exact years.

Please check that one!

[Squaredancecalling Steve]

Thanks for the mention, Allen. I will, however, be a mere 59, not 2003.

[Allen H]

C’mon, Steve, you don’t have to be coy about your age with us. (I don’t know how the 2003 keeps getting in there every month even after I specifically take it out.)

There is indeed a Gene Jackson – has a site here at Jazz Corner – a drummer in his 40s – I have him at 42. The one in this month’s list is another guy, an English drummer. I don’t know much about him, but I’ll check that one when I get a chance

[Mike Schwartz]

Louie Bellson is July, 6 for sure; just spent time with him last week and wished him a early happy BD;-)

[Allen H]

OK, I moved Bellson from the 26th to the 6th. Thank you--

So who is this English Gene Jackson? anybody around here ever hear ofhim? and why is he important enough to get confused with OUR Gene Jackson?

[Allen H]

Added Gardony, and deleted the "other" Gene Jackson until/unless I'm able to find out more about him.

[Lois Gilbert]

Our Gene Jackson was born Oct 16th

Thanks Hornplayer!!!

Happy Birthday Carlos Santana! Today on KCSM, Chuy dedicated the show to Carlos and his music and the role he played in introducing African rythmns and Afro-Cuban music to a wider audience. Santana may not be a jazz musician, but he has the soul of one.
