October 15th, 2006: Amazon.com just let me know they have Jon Hendricks: A Good Git-Together available. I've never heard of it before, and they don't have any information other than the release date. The cover art makes it look like it's from the fifties or sixties, and says "with Cannball Adderly and Wes Montgomery." I've ordered it, so hopefully I'll know more soon.

July 25th, 2006: Jon appears on a couple of tracks on Karrin Allyson's new CD Footprints.

October 6th, 2005: Unfortunately, the message board was hacked last week, and I have taken it down completely until I can figure out how to restore it properly and safely. Or find another host for it.

June 19th, 2005: Saw Jon last night at the Art Tatum Jazz Heritage Festival. As a result, I've got several new concert dates listed today (including one tonight!) as well as the news that Jon has added the Miles Davis / Gil Evans version of "Oh Bess, Oh Where's My Bess" to his repertoire.

January 8th, 2005: Updated with Four Brothers concert in May.
