I REALLY wanted to go to CMS during the 70's. However, being broke in Florida prevented me from ever making it. I used to dream about the intensives I would read about in Musician magazine and downbeat. It'd be great if Berger could reopen it somewhere...

I drove to a benefit concert (for the school itself, I believe) at CMS once - I'd have to look up the date...but it was terrific and featured a pretty unusual group of participants.

I'll look at my notes, but off the top of my head, I remember Braxton, Marilyn Crispel, Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden, and Chick Corea.

Alan Douglas released 2 cd's of material from this, decades later. Then I recently saw DVD's of this performance offered - but I missed the chance to pick them up...

Karl played wonderfully, and his big band included a young James Harvey on trombone - who was going by the moniker "snake" at the time.

I'll have to dig those cd's out tomorrow and see who all else is on them.

Anybody have the dvd's?
