Dottie Dodgion tribute

Ben Stolorow, piano; Al Obidinski, bass; and Vince Lateano, drums pay tribute to a long-time friend, colleague and jazz legend, the late Dottie Dodgion, with a cameo by Dot’s good friend Sonny Buxton sharing some thoughts on Dot, her swing & her legacy.

Vince, Al and Sonny are all contemporaries of Dottie’s and knew her well from the 1950s/early 1960s onward, and Ben was a regular member of her trio on a weekly date in Pebble Beach over the past several years. Their fondness for Dottie will be on full display in this nod to one of the great, swingin’ drummers of jazz.

Sonny Buxton, a long-time friend of Dottie’s, would have been on hand for this date, but wisely decided to heed his doctor’s advice to stay away from the shop in light of possibility vulnerability to the Covid virus. We wish him well! Fortunately, he was able to call in. For Sonny’s comments, and for the glorious music played by the trio, watch the video of the event at this link
