I don't know you, but we love Anton and Jazz. I hope this helps!

I had the pleasure and honor of hearing Professor Priester play at Yoshi's in Oakland. I then shook his hand after the event when I purchased his latest CD. Please, get well soon!

Good luck!

Julian, Hope you get better soon. Wishing you all the best. Getting sick should never cost anybody so much. You deserve better!

Hey Julien, Greetings from Denmark! Thanks for the music and knowledge at Cornish, still making music thanks to teachers like you! The jazz will live on! you deserve the best! take care!! ;) -Cassia DeMayo

Wishing you good luck!

In the words of Gil Scott-Heron, "Whatever happened to the protest and the rage?" This is wrong.

I'm glad to see the goal has been exceeded. Someone who has given so much to us deserves to get a little back.

Helllo Julian, This donation comes to you from The Edmonton Jazz Society in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The Edmonton Jazz Society operates the Yardbird Suite, a jazz venue that you played at many years ago. All of us at The Suite enjoy your music and wish you the very best! Edmonton Jazz Society

Hope to hear you again soon

Get well soon. Best wishes — a fan.

Hope you get well soon, Julian!

Hope this helps... wishing you healing, hope and peace...

I only heard Julian twice, back in the early 70's in Detroit. The concert was at Strata Concert Gallery with the Mwandishi sextet. In a powerful way he helped to open the door to music for me to this day. Good luck to him.

Julian, I've enjoyed your playing and composing for many years. I hope that you're feeling better very soon. All the best to you and your family.

thanks for so much great music.

Thanks Julian for your wonderful spirit and spirit filled t-bone playing.

This gathering of people supporting another person is truly inspirational. Bravo all of you.

German Drummer. Your music has been with me since I´ve been listening, for decades. Thank you & be well.

Dear Julian, It was such a pleasure to record with you at Van Gelder's. We're sending you thoughts of healing and love from Berlin. Judy and Jeanfrançois

It's modest but I hope it will help you.

Happy to help. Be well.

I love "Love, Love". Peace.

Love, Love, Love, what else?

I've been a listener and admirer since back in Mwandishi days. In return for your beautiful music, here's a small offering of money, and a huge offering of love and respect.

Dear Mr. Priester, I have enjoyed your music over the years, and have enjoyed playing it on the air and sharing with my listeners. This is the least I can do to help "pay back". My best wishes to you for continuing good and improved health. Brad Stone, KSJS-FM, San Jose

Greetings Julian Priester - just wanted to let you know that we're thinking of you & that your tremendous music has meant an awful lot to me over the years. 'Polarization' & 'Love Love' are 2 of my favorites!! Best wishes to you & yours...

Julian, You are a beautiful person and so very loved. I know you will make it through this with a strong recovery. I am lucky to have had you as a teacher. Sending warmth and love your way.

God Bless you and your family

Sending you love and healing!

Peace blessings and health to you and your family brother. Thank you for your continuing contributions to the soul of this world. Much love brother chris.

Get well soon Julian!

Thanks for your music.

I followed the link on Bill Frisell's website. The music that came into my head when I saw the link was from Wayne Horvitz's 4+1 ensemble. I love the trombone playing on that record. Good luck.

Take care, Julian. All the best to you and your family.

I'm an Italian musicologist. I love Priester's music. I hope he will recover soon, back to normal life.

Hope you can get settled and be comfortable.

Be well!

I remember you were there, November 1968, Paris Jazz Festival, with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, and 21st July 1971, near Nice with Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi sextet. Thank you Julian, for your music, for everything you gave us. Marc Arondel

Take care, Mr Priester.

With love and gratitude for a great artist and a great soul.

Take care Julian.

Thank you for your contribution to the jazz community. I hope you get that kidney transplant soon.

Best wishes and positive thoughts to you, Julian. I've always appreciated the time I was able to spend with you when I was a student at Cornish, and your great attitude toward music and learning made a big impression on me. Thanks most of all for being not only a great teacher, but a friend and fellow musician I could look up to. ;0)

Julian Priester is a genius of American music and is a national treasure. His contribution to our music and our lives is beyond measure.

I wish it could be more....

Julian my thoughts and prayers are with you for a return to health. Many thanks for your wonderful contributions to music. -S. Moon

I love you Julian. We will get this done.

Get well, Julian!

Thanks for the music. Too bad Mr. Priester doesn't live in a modern society that offers universal healthcare.

Godspeed.

It is my honor to help someone who has inspired us all so much! Thank you Mr. Priester!

Thanks for all of the music, wisdom, and kindness, Julian - hang in there - you have many friends that love you!

Best of fortune to you, and good health soon. Thank you for so much lovely music.

From Larry Vuckovich: Julian, playing and touring with you - especially our last tour with Hadley - has always been a pleasure. You are the best trombonist on the scene today, a fine educator, and one of the nicest people I know. Sanna has enjoyed getting to know your wife Nashira on Facebook, and admires her greatly. We send you both our love and prayers for a rapid return to good health and good fortune. We know there are better days ahead for you. Take especially good care of yourselves. Larry Vuckovich and Sanna Craig Vuckovich

Sorry to hear about your health and related problems- always enjoyed your playing.

With all my love and affection. From a very humble piano player to a great musician.

thanks for all the music...looking forward to hearing more

Julian, Thank you for sharing so much with us. The way you carry yourself, the wisdom you impart so tactfully, your caring and supportive nature and how all of this comes through in your music! Wishing you a better 2013, Much love, Byron, Geralyn, Olivia, Isabel and Vivienne

Hola Julian! I've been meaning to get over to Seattle but either I have the time or the $; never both at the same time. You are in my thoughts and I thank-you for the learning you gave me! I'm still playing for a living, that and a lot of teaching. It's a difficult life but I don't know any better!hahah It is my wish that things go smoothly for you from now on and that you enjoy some fruits from all of your labor and caring and love. Maybe when I get up there we can play a little chess if you have the time. I won't forget the oil!

I'm a long time fun of Mr. Priester, Mwandishi, Sun Ra. Thank you for your music!

Thank you for the music. Speedy recovery!

...all the best

Thanks for all the great music... get well.

Julian, I didn't have to think twice when I saw you needed help. Your work has given a lot of joy to me and many others over the years, from Sonny to Herbie to solo to beyond. I understand the goal has been met, but I have no doubt there is more to be covered. I hope you're doing better. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. b

We are sending you all our love. I wish we could give more, but we are a low on funds these days; however, if there's anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to call us. We aren't the best at carpentry, but we know how to hit a nail & paint in the lines, so put us to work when you are ready for things like that :) We would also like to make you guys dinner sometime; so whenever you're in the mood to be spoiled, we are only a phone call away (206-409-5534). We love you & are praying for you. God Bless You. Love, Lorrie & Joe

You've given us so much how canwe not try to give something back?

Thanks for your beautiful music! I hope I'll see you soon touring in Italy...

Best wishes from inconstant Sol

God Bless and Thank you

Sending much love, Rob & V

Get strong, Julian!

So happy for you guys. God is good. Wish I was able to do more, but love you both.

A little amount for all the joy you've given over the years. Get well soon. "Keep Swinging" (yeah, I have the album!)

Mr. Priester, I'm a bassist/composer in NYC. I recently spent endless hours transcribing the arrangements on "Percussion Bitter Suite" and other Max albums - what a joy to bring these tunes to life, many of which I doubt have been played since ( I still can't figure out what the solo instructions on "Mama" were!) So, my small donation is the least I can do. Thank You for everything. I hope the moments get brighter and I hope to run into you one day too.

Thank you for the wonderful sounds, Mr. Priester!

Hope all goes well. Take care.

Sending our best thoughts!

Thanks for the music.

Julian and Nashira, you're the best! Much Love and many Blessings...

I have always gotten a warm genuine feeling from Mr. Priester and secretly wished he was my second grandpa.

Hope you get well soon!

God Bless you and your family, Julian. Thanks for being such a great influence on all of us you've touched at Cornish.

All the best Julian. Your playing is very special to me. Your contribution to the sunn 0)))-Monoliths & Dimensions was beautiful and I will be forever grateful.

Get better soon Julian!

Be well.

best wishes

Mr. Priester, I hope things get better for you soon. Thank you for the music you have given us. I'll try to find one of your CDs to play on my radio show. Bart Grooms Host, "Tuxedo Junction" WVSU-FM www.samford.edu/wvsu

Get well Julian.

Julian, You have made such a beautiful impact on both of our lives. We treasure the gifts that you have given us and we value your friendship immensely. We wish you good health and much joy this year! love- eryn and tim young

Best of luck Julian!

Hi Julian. With warm memories of working with you at Cornish. Thanks for always being a calming and positive presence.

Julian - Thank you for everything you have done for music!!!!!

I wish I could do more! (I've been unemployed and my benefits have expired!) I will keep you in my prayers and will donate again whenever I can. If I can help in other ways, please let me know! Blessings always, Bridget

I'm so sorry to hear about your trouble.

Love you, Julian.

Best of luck and thank you for everything you have given of yourself and created in the world of music.

All my best for a speedy recovery!

I've never heard Julian Priester play but I am a kidney transplant recipient and know how difficult life is before that amazing day. God bless you, Julian.

Hope everything turns out well...

I play jazz today for a living because of people like Julian Priester!

God Bless You and your Family.

i can't think of a more deserving person and musician. i'm so honored to have this opportunity to repay at least a small portion of my gratitude to you, julian!

get well

thank you Julian, for helping me to appreciate trombone.

Thanks to Julian for the great music and his generous spirit.

When you come to the end of all the light that you know and you're about to step off into the darkness..Faith, is knowing that one or two things will happen...either there will be something solid for you to stand on, or you will be taught to FLY!

God Speed Julian, our grandson is 15 years into his Kidney Transplant and doing well.

play on, maestro.

Best wishes and positive energy for your improved health!

You know that this small gift is nothing compared to what you have given me and many, many others who have been blessed by your wonderful teaching, music and kind and generous spirit, Julian! Some of the most joyful and rewarding moments of my life were spent at Cornish, with you as one of my favorite mentors. Your gift to the world, just by being you and doing your thing, is priceless. Keep doing what you love! It brings us great joy! Much Love, Maureen (McNair-Burroughs) & Brian Burroughs

Prof. Priester, your music has consoled and inspired me over the years. I am saddened to hear of this turn of events and hope all will be well with you and your loved ones in the near future. please accept this not as charity but as a token of my love for your music and jazz in general and for all you have done to make this world a slightly better place. thank you! William Dennehy

Best Wishes, Julian!

I only played with Julian a handful of times, but it was most memorable: awesome musicianship, congeniality, and grace. When you're young, it may be good for you to have all of your stuff taken away and auctioned, but not after a long and distinguished career that brought knowledge, insight, and joy to so many people.

I still smile when I think about the show I saw Mr. Priester play with Sam RIvers, Reggie Workman et al. at Yoshi's years ago. Always love his work on recordings and hope to see him play again one day! Best wishes.

Thank you for the music & the inspiration. Peace

Thanks for all you have done. I hope things get better for you.

Best wishes for healthy and happy retirement. Thank you for your many contributions to our culture.

So sorry to hear about your health problems Julian. You were my teacher back at Banff summer of 84, and before that you were my hero through recordings. Love you and I hope you get better. - Joe

Thanks for all of the great music. Best wishes.

good luck

http://freerickwershe.com/Home_Page.html " Rick Wershe, better known to the public as "White Boy Rick", is currently serving a life prison sentence in the Michigan Department of Corrections for a single drug possession conviction from January 1988. When he was arrested he was only 17 years old. Newly uncovered evidence proves he was led into the life of being a teenage drug dealer by the federal government. Rick was recruited by a narcotics task force made up by the FBI, DEA, and several Detroit Police Department detectives in 1984 as a 14 year old juvenile, encouraged to drop out of high school and eventually put to work as a paid undercover operative in some of the state's most dangerous criminal organizations for the next three years. Following his conviction, he was sentenced under Michigan's ultra-tough "650-Lifer Law", a law erased from the books in 1998, allowing him to be eligible for parole.In the three times before the parole board in the last decade, he's been rejected every time. As of 2012, he was the only minor sentenced under that law in the whole Michigan prison system that remains behind bars. He is also the only person in the country convicted as a minor for a non violent crime facing the prospect of serving a life sentence. In the 25 years Rick has been incarcerated, he has cooperated with law enforcement extensively. Prosecutors have said that without his help, the largest police corruption case in Detroit's history would not have been possible. Some of the people ending up being convicted included members of Coleman Young's family. Rick's situation doesn't feel right in many ways. This site will hopefully educate people who are unfamiliar with his situation , however isn't intended for "fans" to glamorize or endorse his behavior. Once a boy who made a mistake, Rick is now simply a man in his mid-40's in search of a second chance." https://www.facebook.com/freewhiteboyrickwershe

Shine bright, play on, in health and happiness.

You are LOVED...

Thanks for your music!

Thank You for your music! All the best! RR

Get well soon, Julian, and thank you for the music.

Dear Mr. Priester, I am so sorry to hear about your recent trouble! I have enjoyed listening to your music for many years and I would like to show my appreciation to you in this more direct way. You have given a lot to the world and I hope this will help to get you and your family back where it needs to be and you back to music again! Best wishes- Dave L.

Thanks for all the great music over the decades, Maestro.

Julian, Seattle and the music community owe you for your passion, creativity and inspiration. Thank you for providing this opportunity for us to give back.

Peace and Love brother Julien ...

Bless you and I hope that you and your family can find yourselves on solid ground and well soon.

Best wishes to Julian Priester and his family at this time. I hope these donations can help you in this rough time. Julian, you were one of my most cherished teachers at Cornish, and one of my favorite musicians of all time. I feel blessed I was able to learn and be inspired by you. Thank you, take care, Shane Peck

This is the least I can do to, in some small way, help repay all the amazing music you've created. The joy you've brought me, and many other people, is something you can never be adequately compensated for. That said, here's hoping people dig deep, you get better fast, and continue to make music and enjoy life. I am spreading the word via my blog: http://bullmurph.com/2013/01/15/julian-priester-help-him-help-yourself/ Cheers, Sean

Great honor to help a little bit a great jazz trombone star!

Thank you for all you've given us. We will do our very best to give it back to you, sir.

Julian, Thank you for all you've done for Music! Also, thank you for allowing me the honor of accompanying your student ensembles at Cornish, as well as respecting, valuing & supporting my personal pursuit of our great craft. Although my contribution cannot equal what you've given us, I hope it brings some respite & is accepted as a small token of my gratitude for what you've done for Music, Seattle & aspiring Artists everywhere!

Best wishes to Mr. Priester and family

Thanks for all the music. I hope this helps a little ...

Hello Julian, This is the first leg of contributions I will continue to make to help with meeting your goal. You've been a long time hero of mine and numerous other jazz trombonists. I'm glad to help. Prayers of healing and recovery go out. God Bless, Andre Hayward

Best of luck Professor Priester. Best, Brad

Always rooting for the two of you.

A great artist living in a country with abysmal health care - a country that also has such low regard for its own art-form. This is tragic in so many ways. I wish Mr. Priester and his family the best.

Good luck, Julian and family.

Dear Julian, Thank you for all of your extraordinary music !! Your recordings are timeless, they will live forever. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Love, Love

Mr. Priester, your music has greatly enriched my life. I send positive thoughts and feelings to you and your wife, and hope that this crisis is the gateway to a new and beautiful future for both of you. Regards, Cameron Pfiffner

Like many jazz fans, I've enjoyed your playing on so many vital recordings, and I thank you for your contribution to the music. I wish you and your family the best as you make it through this difficult time.

Thank you for all the beautiful music of yours I've heard!

I wish you all the best. I'm an adjunct English professor and writer in NYC and came across your story on Facebook. Although we're different on the outside, you could be me,

music is the heartbeat. thank you!

20 years ago you asked me how I was doing in the Cornish elevator even though I was in the classical program. Right then I knew you were a classy guy!

Julian taught me how to play Jazz. He said "Make the the cymbal dance!" and technique was transformed into Art. An exceptional artist, teacher, and man.

Good luck and take care!

May you be well and free from suffering

All the best Julian!

You don't know me but I'm sending you love and prayers for your recovery and healing. You deserve a joyful retirement!! Live long and prosper.

Best Wishes to you and your family.

Julian is my earliest influence to jazz trombone. Listening to him in my youth shaped the way I play and I owe him a debt of gratitude.

Julian Priester, my best wishes to you and your family! Hearing your trombone with the Mwandishi Band must be one of my favorite sounds in music.

Un abrazo muy fuerte para Julian Priester te deseo una rapida recuperación.

We wish you the best for healing and the recovery of your home and possessions.

Hi Julian, You were always so kind to me when I was your student. I always had the highest respect for you as a teacher and musician. You always carried yourself with class and dignity and were so respectful of the students. I am sorry to hear of your illness. I hope you remember me from your class! Best wishes to you and your family. Bright Blessings, Magdalen Hsu-Li (Maggie Li)

Sextant!

Julian, Your music has given me untold rewards for decades. I'm glad to help where I can. Also, us Chicago natives have to stick together. We met just once. It was 1970 and you worked the London House with Herbie Hancock's sextet. Great music from you then and continued great playing from all of your recordings I own. Thanks so much and please get well. Bill Benjamin Asheville, NC

i wish i could give more but i hope this help mr. priester some. get well soon :) guy.

Jim Santi Owen passed your info on to the world---I was on the YOuCaring site this past year myself for cancer, and was so blessed with community support--I am passing some on to you (sorry it's not more!) , paying it forward! Good healing to you!!

Good luck!

Thank you for your presence, your patience, your warmth, your humor, your quiet hipness, your esprit de corps, and your MUSIC. Sending love and blessings, and hopes for better times ahead.

My prayers are with you Julian, Vince

I've had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Priester live over a period of several decades, in particular with Max Roach and later with Reggie Workman. His recordings with Sun Ra and Herbie Hancock are treasures. As I am paying for cancer expenses myself, this is a small token. Best to the Priesters!

Get well soon, Julian !
