Let us too remember the birthday of Victor Feldman.



Victor Feldman was born in Edgware, Middlesex in 1934.
He caused a sensation as a musical prodigy when he was “discovered” at age 7. His family were all musical and his father founded the Feldman Swing Club in London in 1942 to showcase his talented son.

Post bop trumpeters, hard bop classics and Happy Birthday Larry Corryell and Homer Clark.

Happy Birthday to my good friend, Homer Clark too, a long time jazz dj for KEX, KBOO and KMHD. His "Jazz Hole Cover East", set a high standard.  He is also one of the founding members of the Jazz Society of Oregon (above- center, left- Carlton Jackson).

Happy Birthday to Larry Corryell. He was born in Galveston, Texas, and was raised in Richland, Washington. Larry Coryell is on the left, Al DiMeola, center.
