Cozy Eggleston – Grand Slam
Heres a rare private press funky jazz record outta Chicago circa the late sixties. Cozy on tenor backed up by just a drummer and an organ player so its pretty stripped down. Has a smoky nightclub feel to it for sure. Killer stuff!

Hello
Hello Rose,
I think I met you at a family reunion in Saint Louis Missouri over ten years ago.
I attended a funeral of a cousin in Halls, TN last week and have a professional photo of your Grandfather LC Eggleston as a young man that I would like to share with your family. (If you do not already have it.)
That was my sister Connie at the family reunion. My father will be 89yrs old on May 12th and I would love to give him that picture as a birthday gift. Dont know to much about the eggleston side maybe you can help me. Where are you from?
Hello Helen, I’m Connie Eggleston the eldest of 2 daughters of my Dad. I was at the reunion in St. Louis. I am currently writing a book about my Dad. I am putting pics in the book. I’d like a copy of the pic you have to place in my book.
