    • Zev can't reveal future projects until all of the contracts are signed and they have a planned released date in mind. His public relations rep, Ann Braithwaite, tells journalists about upcoming releases but they are embargoed so we can't say anything about them publicly until the labels are ready for them to be announced. I did learn that he has a huge set of Jazz at the Penthouse raw tapes so I am sure he is checking out selected artists when he has time to see if there is a good fit for a potential release. Like with Mosaic, he and his partners have to estimate all the costs involved in producing a set, then decide whether they can sell sufficient units to make it happen. I wish that US stations and radio networks did a better job of archiving live jazz broadcasts, though I know he has uncovered a wealth of music in the archives of various European radio networks. The one time I wrote liner notes for a concert aired by NPR on Jazz Alive!, Mel Torme with George Shearing and Gerry Mulligan, I was disappointed that they omitted all three Mulligan big band instrumentals. I guess Concord Jazz couldn't justify a 2 CD set of the entire show, which I had recorded off the air back around 1979 before I got into my twin careers in public radio and jazz journalism.  
    • Anything revealed about future releases or does he keep it close to the vest? I assume you would ask.
    • Great opening day win for the Yankees, defeating Houston 5-4 on the road after falling behind 4-0 in the first two innings. Juan Soto drove in NY’s first run with a single, walked twice, and made the play of the game with an outfield assist in the bottom of the 9th. Yankees looked simultaneously more relentless and more patient at the plate. Still dubious about our rotation, esp with Cole on the shelf for two months and possibly longer, but a thrilling and satisfying start to the season!
    • Ken, I'd like to hear that! I'll look forward to seeing the link.
