Fifty-nine years agoโ€ฆ โฃ
โฃ
McKie Fitzhughโ€™s Lounge in the South Side of Chicago was a hub for both jazz and blues. Over the years greats such as:ย ย Dizzy Gilespie, Gene Ammons, Sonny Stitt, Max Roach, Ahmad Jamal, Illinois Jacquett, Art Blakely, Al Hibbler and many others performed for small crowds at this tiny venue.ย ย โฃ

This cardboard poster, printed by Globe Printing, showcases Roland Kirk and his Jazz Group played the first twelve nights in August, 1962. John Coltrane came in right after him doing shows between August 15 - August 26th, which just so happens to be tonight. โฃ
โฃ
Use your imagination and go back. Bars were filled with smoke, notes, men and women talking about their day and then out comes John Coltrane. History happening in the ordinary moment of every day life. โฃ

On August 7, 2021 Dennis โ€œDee Teeโ€ Thomas, saxophonist and founding member of Kool & The Gang, passed away at the age of 70 years old. โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
In addition to his deft alto-saxophone skills Thomas also played the flute, percussions and served as band emcee during performances. His most recent performance was this past July 4th. โฃโฃ
Can anybody fill his space? I donโ€™t know, I donโ€™t knowโ€ฆ. โฃโฃ

If you are unfamiliar with Kool & The Gang (Iโ€™d be pretty surprised if you werenโ€™t), check out some classics and hear the wonderful musical contributions Dee Tee brought to lifeโ€ฆ Jungle Boogie, Celebration, Get Down On It, Whoโ€™s Gonna Take The Weight, Cherish and many othersโ€ฆโฃโฃ

RIP Dee Tee! โฃ
