Dear People,
Would it be possible to get a cdr copy of this wonderful music I have not heard since it was played in the club, Keystone Korner, that I owned and booked and managed from 1972-1983?
My address is:
Todd Barkan
Keystone Korner International
2400 Johnson Avenue
Bronx, NY 10463
Would really love to hear this great music again.
I now work as programming director for Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center, where I have been working for the past nine years.
Brighter moments, Todd Barkan
