I hope to make it there some day. The time I saw Venuti live in 1967 was a highlight of my musical life.
Wow what an amazing post! As a big Venuti fan, this looks absolutely amazing!
PS In 2016, this mural honoring Eddie and many of the jazz greats he played with was put up on a wall at Seventh St and Fitzwater…
Edgar Degas: "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.... To draw, you must close your eyes and sing."
Georges Braque: "In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that can’t be explained."
I enjoyed this post 4 years ago when you first put it up, and I enjoyed going back through it again today. That was great that you had a chance to meet Eddie's nephews and get the grand tour. Considering the memory of him was fading fast with the greatest generation in the mid-90s, I'm sure Tom and Eddie appreciated your keen interest in their relative.
Btw, I did do that Google sleuthing you mentioned in 2018. Looks like we just lost Eddie in August, and he was preceded by his brother at some time. Let's imagine that he did get to see this moving tribute.
