Eddie Diehl is one of those Jazz guys who managed to fall under the radar. He has played with Hank Mobley and Jack McDuff amongst others. I first heard him play on Jack McDuff's - Brother Jack meets The Boss. I heard his solo on "Buzzin' Round" and have always been eager to find out more about Eddie Diehl.
Well, Uptown movies have made this fascinating film available on Youtube. Eddie is now a guitar and amp repair guy. He still plays jazz, and is an interesting character.
Its really worth putting the time in to watch this film. You get to find out about Jazz greats - Hank Mobley, Ike Quebec and Jack McDuff, Heroin abuse in jazz and being dropped from a Blue Note Session to make way for Kenny Burrell.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I did
