    • Just finished "The Jazz Barn : Music Inn The Berkshires, and the Place of Jazz in American Life" by John Gennari, Had to do with the Lennox School of Jazz, where Third Stream musicians like Gunther Schuller, Jimmy Giuffre, George Russell and John Lewis taught for the four years it was open. It goes for 80 pages before anything relating to jazz is mentioned, just woke history of the Berkshires.  When he mentions the School of Jazz and the concerts they had there, it begins to get interesting, and there are a lot of pictures of some of the teachers and students there that have never been seen before.  The author is an English Prof. in VT, who thinks that Dave Brubeck composed "Take Five". The type on the book is so small that I had trouble reading iit.  
    • About the actual release date now ... Until yesterday Amazon advised me my copy was to arrive this Monday. But this morning I received an "update" that indicated a delay and a new delivery date sometime between 10 July and October 2026 (!!).   Checking Amazon.com (USA) it says the release date is 10 June 2026. Whereas on German amazon.de it still says it's (been) released on 10 April but on the other hand indicates a delivery period between 10 July and 28 October. This time span seems VERY vague to me.  Anyone know anything from some other source about what happened or what the publication snag now is?  I've waited for about 10 months for the book so can and will wait some more but it's a pity - something I'm reminded of whenever I look at the space kept free for this book on my otherwise crowded racks of jazz books in my music room.

    • I still have an OG German ECM.  It's a shame he didn't keep that group together longer. They were unique.
