Open your ears

I hear ya, man! Coltrane still sounds fresh, too. Even after all these years. Chad, Tony and Miff are all doing a service to the community by exposing them to creative music.

Jason Robinson: Tiresian Rapture @ Dizzy's

"peeling" - 'to strip the skin or the bark or rind from'. "pealing"- 'the loud ringing of bells' I'll stick with my version.

The appeal of 98 Bottles

Hey Chad, Thanks for the shout-out! I practically lived at 98 Bottles last year. Steve, Jill and Chris are very cool people.

Michael Dessen Trio: Resonating Abstractions @ Space4Art

Ahh, the eye of the beholder, and the ear of the behearer...I use *disturbing* to indicate a balance between a program that transcended mere beauty--and violence (anger) to assign a tangible quality to episodes of great tension. Was particularly happy to see you there, my firend, and thanks for the feedback!

Joshua White Quintet: Boiling at 98 Bottles

Thanks David! I'll take that as a big compliment from a guy who reads as much as I can tell you do, based on some of those FB posts. Yeah, you missed a great concert. Joshua is the real deal. I feel fortunate to be able to witness his journey...

Women In Jazz at the Museum of Making Music, March 31

Fattburger Was a Garage Band Once

I borrowed a friend's c-melody briefly. He had found it in a dead relatives house. I loved that sound, altho I really wanted a tenor. My good friend, Tom Scott, played in the Crawford music program with Hollis and all of those talented cats. Nice article!

Sold Out Crowd Takes in "Dr. Einstein's Spin"

Sorry you missed it too. He did tell the story about "Bombscare Blues". They were doing a concert at a North County junior college, when someone called a bomb-threat in. The evacuation actually prevented them from performing (the string consort) but it did inspire the name for the previously un-named blues. Thanks for your interest!

Age Is Just a Number

Thanks for noticing!
