  2. "Writer's Block" forever-i've been a fan at least 10 years-another of my great favs is alain drouid, for ultra sophisticated tastes, nott to speak of that bottomless fountain of worthwhile jazz, art lange.

  10. the following is reprinted from today's smalls live weekly newspaper, written by spike wilner ny pianist-club owner. mr. burno played last wednesday and thursday nights at smalls in a quartet with piano spike wilner, guitar peter bernstein, billy drummond, and vibist steve nelson. (this letter post clearly violates the copy rules, but many might find it useful and important.) i remember sending a facebook note at the time to wilner commenting that the group's music that night was especially deep, beautiful, and profound, and that i rarely had heard such music. " The Peter Bernstein Group 9:30 PM to 12:00 AM Peter Bernstein - Guitar Steve Nelson - Vibraphone Dwayne Burno - Bass Billy Drummond - Drums " “All formations are impermanent. Whatever is subject to origination is subject to cessation” – Buddha, The Dhammapada My friends, we suddenly and unexpectedly lost an esteemed and valued member of our musical community. Dwayne Burno, one of the true greats of the bass, passed away suddenly on Friday at the young age of 44. This has sent a resounding shock worldwide - musicians and friends have been literally dumbstruck. How could this be? How could this happen? Dwayne struggled with his health in recent years. He had issues with his kidneys but what did him in was his heart. Dwayne spent the last two weeks in the hospital with pneumonia. Amazingly, he played at Smalls with Peter Bernstein’s group on Wednesday and Thursday of this week – right after being released, he wouldn’t think about missing the gig. Peter invited me to sit in with the group for the last tune of the night on Thursday and the feel of the band was incredible. With Billy Drummond and Steve Nelson, this was a mature band. It was swinging hard. As I comped from the piano, I looked at him and saw Dwayne’s familiar face and smile – he knew it felt good. No body could lay down a groove like Dwayne Burno. After the show on Thursday, we sat together outside of the club and talked about his health. He mentioned his concerns about his heart. There’s no way I could have know that it would be the last time I would ever see him. Stunning. Since his first gigs in New York City, Dwayne established himself at the very highest echelon of the jazz scene. His professional credentials are legendary – Betty Carter, Bobby Hutcherson, Joe Henderson, Roy Hargrove, etc, etc. His playing was extraordinary – he was committed to the music in a way that is rarely seen. It didn’t matter who called him or what the money was – if he believed in the gig he would be there. He had the extraordinary ability to play any bass that he was given. It didn’t matter, he would make it his own. He knew every tune and would challenge you with his harmonies – he would impose his changes and you had better have the ears to follow. Above everything, though, Dwayne was a humble man. A true, pure spirit, full of music and personified everything that was good in a Jazz musician – swing, groove, spirit & soul. Losing Dwayne Burno at such a young age is a loss that we will not be able to rectify anytime soon. He was a unique and powerful, steadfast force on our scene and friend to everyone that knew him. I am crying as I write this. It’s just not fair or understandable. As with all loss, all one can do is embrace the power of the moment – the here and now. Take heed, Jazz soldiers, do not waste one precious moment. Time passes swiftly and opportunity is lost. Live now, live now, live now! Rest in peace dear Dwayne Burno. Many people have been asking me about sending money to his wife and family. You may donate directly to the family through the Jazz Foundation of America, which had been helping Dwayne with his medical expenses. You can make donations online here: JAZZ FOUNDATION OF AMERICA or mail a check in honor of Dwayne Burno to The Jazz Foundation of America · 322 West 48th Street, 6th Floor · New York, NY 10036 · (212)245-3999

  13. http://www.kltv.com/story/24205295/undefined TYLER, TX (KLTV) - "Country Music Hall of Fame member and country music legend Ray Price, 87, plans to leave East Texas Medical Center in Tyler on Thursday to go to his home in Mount Pleasant where he will be provided with hospice care. Price, who is best known for his country classics, including Release Me, Crazy Arms and For the Good Times, has been battling pancreatic cancer since 2011. Since then, the disease has spread to his liver, intestines and lungs, even with aggressive treatment. Price and his wife, Janie, who have been married for 45 years, made the decision not to pursue further aggressive treatment for the cancer. "Ray is alert and aware of his surroundings and making decisions," said Janie. "With God's blessing he has not had extreme pain. But it's with great sadness that I announce to you today that my beloved husband has entered the final stages of his cancer that he has battled for 25 months. Anyone who knows Ray is aware that he has strong convictions and great faith in God. It's his decision to leave the hospital and return home to spend his final days on his beloved ranch surrounded by the comfort of his home, family and friends." In a final message to his fans, Price said, "I love my fans and have devoted my life to reaching out to them. I appreciate their support all these years and I hope I haven't let them down. I am at peace. I love Jesus. I'm going to be just fine. Don't worry about me. I'll see you again one day.""
  14. thanks to all for the heartfelt comments. i've been following his health reports from his family for about 2 years and his music from the early 1950s. wkcr is playing his music right now. johnny carson was a big fan and he placed ray up there with frank, as he well should. http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/wkcr/story/ray-price-memorial-broadcast-tuesday-december-17th-600pm-wednesday-december-18th-100am "Join us tonight at 6:00pm as we honor the life and work of country singer Ray Price. Price started out in Texas, performing for various radio programs. After moving to Nashville he went on to develop his own style of country music during the 1950s. Price's best known for his hits from this time, such as "Talk To Your Heart" and "Crazy Arms." Tonight we listen to the music of Mr. Price to honor his contributions to American country music. Our broadcast will run from 6:00pm tonight until 1:00am tomorrow morning. Tune in at 89.9FM or wkcr.org. © 2013 WKCR | Columbia University NY 10027 | Studio 212-8"
  15. he is fabulously talented. occasionally, when he gets to drinkin', he sits down at the piano with tenor in his lap and chords beautifully; i could listen to tivon play piano forever. to me, he's a much better more sensitive pianist than reed man.
  16. sadly, smalls no longer has 24 hour streaming.......(live only)
  17. the trio performed, in the 2nd set, a moving tribute to jim hall--re:person i knew. mr. friedman mentioned this recent post from larry goldings on facebook- Larry Goldings 12 hours ago Jim Hall: humility, patience, beauty, silence, sound, wisdom, commitment, kindness, humor, courage, respect, friendship, inspiration. Thank you, Jim Hall. And for those of us performing tonight, including myself...Let's play fewer notes. Let's play something meaningful, not something stale and preconceived. Let's take chances. Let's be willing to fail. Let's listen to our bandmates. Give them space. When we play a melody, let's play it as beautifully as we can. Let's play softer, and think about our sound. Let's leave space. Let's be creative. Let's think about giving, not taking. Let's make music. Let's be more like Jim Hall.

  19. i have, over the years, created several hundred playlists of specific albums or artists with the desktop spotify and they are available instantly on the droid version. spotify mobile doesn't seem like it would be very good for mobile music search or creating playlists, but is splendid in conjunction with the desktop version. http://pando.com/2013/12/11/spotify-is-now-free-on-mobile-so-why-bother-subscribing/ pandora has been free to mobile users for quite some time. the amount and variety of free music available is now staggering, and an economic nothing for all but a few artists.
  20. this wonderful seasoned trio is performing now The Phil Palombi Trio on the smalls live stream. 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM Don Friedman - Piano Phil Palombi - Bass Eliot Zigmund - Drums
