Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts included a fluid rendition of Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Mercer’s “I Thought About You.” She also performed her own composition, “Free Fall,” with bassist Rodney Whitaker, pianist Reginald Thomas and drummer Carl Allen. First prize is a $25,000 scholarship with the Monk Institute and a recording contract with Concord Music Group. “The thing that was apparent to us was that Melissa was a young artist, who, in addition to having embraced a great deal of tradition, has made important steps in developing her own personal sonic vocabulary,” the soprano saxophonist, Jane Ira Bloom, told Downbeat Magazine. Ms. Bloom, along with Branford Marsalis, Jimmy Heath, Wayne Shorter and Bobby Watson judged the competition. “We all sensed that from her original music and in her interpretations of traditional material,” Bloom adds."

thanks!!!

This fact was not lost on the Eagles' defense, which attempted to disrupt Manning's audibles during yesterday's game by screaming, "Papa John's!" at him."

The big news is that we bought a new Steinway "B" for the club! Through our connections with Jazz At Lincoln Center (thank you Greg Scoll!), we met a master piano restorer who found us an amazing, flawless Steinway that we got for cost. This was one of our biggest goals and I'm really happy to say that we got it done. Watch for this piano to be installed by late November.

a beer to die for-----

and again tonight. wonderful trio The Jean-Michel Pilc "True Story" Trio featuring Billy Hart 10:30 PM to 1:00 AM Jean-Michel Pilc - Piano Boris Kozlov - Bass Billy Hart - Drums

from the late 70s, her sensitive solo recording of marion brown compositions is one of my favs. i doubt that it has come to cd or any other form.

i've not heard that. thank you.

i heard an extended stupendous version of song for mother e from a program recorded live by corporation for public broadcasting back in 1981. i'm afraid that performance is gone forever. i will match the piano playing i heard on that concert with that of any pianist i have ever heard.

her piano playing can spellbind you.

hilary gardner is one of my very favorite singers. my impression of her art is that hilary genuinely adores the tradition, but is not enslaved by it and doesn't use it as a prop. http://jazzlives.wordpress.com/2013/09/26/hilary-gardners-quiet-triumphs-jazz-at-kitano-september-25-2013/ "But the show had three triumphs where she outdid herself. And the remarkable connection among those three performances was that they were all of “familiar” songs, which could in other hands have been formulaic, predictable, unsurprising. Hilary didn’t “do” anything to these three songs to change them — the songs didn’t need it — but she embodied them with deep feeling, freshness, and ardor."

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/15/arts/music/welcoming-friends-to-help-make-music.html?_r=1& "The British saxophonist Evan Parker, 69, has been a major figure in free improvisation since the late 1960s. That’s not only because of his sound and style, which starts from late Coltrane and pushes ahead — turning the process of circular breathing into a supercollider of tones and overtones — but also because of his sociability. The best free improvisers are drawn to him, and he to them, and his weeklong residency at the Stone corrals the best of the New York-based ones across three generations."

Yep. The driving force behind the naming of the park/ as i recall, andy works for the city of chicago as a building inspector.
