A Tony Passarell Joint

Tired: Getting reminders on social media to say happy birthday to (or otherwise reconnect with) deceased friends.

Wired: Stumbling on newly uploaded recording sessions featuring deceased friends.

The prolific concert recorder who goes by 3.Cameras.and.a.Microphone on YouTube just posted a previously unreleased jazz fusion studio session featuring the late Tony Passarell, an old friend, with limited available details about the source material’s circumstances. The players are listed as, in addition to Tony: Stephen, Charles, and Robert, with no last names. There’s a scribbled addition in parenthesis, which appears to be “Davon.” The date given is “8/14/13” — August 14, 2013, a Wednesday. It’s a loose affair, featuring presumably Passarell’s sax, plus guitar, bass, and drums.
