  1. I spent some time there about a 2 years ago. Luckily I started with the tribute album to Joni Mitchel which is much better IMHO. However, my take..... I thank him immensely for the effort to make jazz relate-able again to the masses. Here is an icon in jazz that is attempting to take the music back to his beginning in a modern and significant way. What I mean is this. At the pinnacle of jazz popularity we had folks leaving the Broadway theaters and traveling to 52nd (and others IK) and hearing those same tunes, and those they were listening to on the radio, deconstructed in new and exciting ways. In between the jazz artists got to play their originals but the glue that connected the audience was the popular song. We lose that when rock comes along. I know, I know, there have been a handful of rock tunes that have provided a platform for improvisation but by and large jazz went its way and the popular song went another. As the audience for jazz continues to get smaller and smaller I applaud Herbie for the remarkably insightful and talented effort to find a bridge. That is my take FWIW.
  2. Spent some time there recently myself.............. Currently,
  3. Streep excellent as always. Hanks another solid performance. IMHO the supporting actors were the ones that stood out here. Bob Odenkirk, Sarah Paulson, Matthew Rhys all excellent. Not a All the President's Men but enjoyable.
  4. So.... I recently purchased a single CD from an ebay seller. Seller mailed the cd with tracking. Tracking posted 3 separate processing points then stopped..... I contacted the USPS customer service. They said they would attempt to locate the item and call me back. They called me back!!! Was told the item was probably lost in some "equipment" (ie. large canvas mail bin ) because it was a single cd and probably a small package. Said I may receive it sometime when the equipment is used again. Thanks to ebay's buyer protection plan I was reimbursed but I would have liked the cd. ha ha ha ........still waiting for USPS to reuse that "equipment"! ha ha ha I must say it was unfortunate but I was impressed by the postal service response. S#%T Happens........... If that was the worst thing that happened to me in 2017 I would have said I had a spectacular year!!!!! Good luck.
  5. excellent!! now listening to...................
