They stayed in touch until my father's death in 1999. We have most of Jimmy's CDs. I mentioned his name to a friend, John Beach, who has a jazz show, "Miles Ahead", in Ithaca, New York, USA at what is sort of the quasi Cornell University radio station. John had never heard of Jimmy Gourley and after listening to our CDs he was very excited. Since then he has acquired CDs of all of Jimmy's music and collaborations. John will be doing a whole hour dedicated to Jimmy Gourley on WVBR at 4-5PM EST on Sunday January 4, 2009. WVBR has live streaming so one can listen to the show on the internet.

He was a partner in a small but hip jazz club not too far from the beach. His guitar, voice and blues-bop rythum really fascinated me. Since i was on leave from Nigeria after the last year of the civil war and a year following in Port Harcourt. Jimmy's music took me away from the horrors of war and a return to jazz, soul and blues. We became friends and i was lucky to get to know Jimmy, his wife and young son of 8, Sean Gourley. {An accomplished jazz guitarist himself, with a style his own but with many moves learned from his dad.} Later in 1975, when i moved to Paris, we renewed our friendship. During my first few years there, Jimmy showed me many clubs featuring great jazz many where he was playing, others where he was known and played often. Among my favorite was the "Caveau de la Montagne". Gosh, Jimmy, from there to the "Upper Room". Peace. I met Jimmy in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria in 1970.

Tous les guitaristes bop de Paris dans les années 50 ont appris de Jimmy Gourley ; ils ont appris le style de Jimmy Raney par Jimmy Gourley. J'écouterai ces émissions avec bonheur, merci Jazz &#38; Co ! Très bonne idée Félix, Jimmy mérite une série d’émissions !
