npr live at the village vanguard
alocispepraluger102 replied to alocispepraluger102's topic in Miscellaneous Music
I can reliably inform everyone that this guy isn't any good. He couldn't even steal my chair in the high school big band when he was 16 and I was 18.* *joke, of course. Dude was purely a classical pianist and didn't try to start improvising until late that same year. He is now a beast and my main accomplishment is 2000 posts on some jazz chat board. i'm somehow not comfortable with having more and more classical players dipping their toes into the jazz waters. personally, i love that style of music, but can't help but feeling that much jazz is evolving into highly arranged chamber music, drawing room music. (fabian's treatment of a movement from a shostakovich string quartet was spellbinding). -

http://www.cbsnews.c...2-10391704.html (Credit: istockphoto) (CBS) What do you call a child's latex balloon? European Union (EU) officials call it a choking hazard and are implementing new regulations aimed at stopping children under age 8 from blowing up balloons without adult supervision. And balloons aren't the only target of the new toy safety regulations. The regs also crack down on popular stocking-stuffers and party favors like whistles and magnetic fishing games, the Telegraph reported. Take balloons away from kids? Word of the regulations left some critics choked with rage. "EU party poopers should not be telling families how to blow up balloons," Paul Nuttall, a member of the European Parliament's consumer safety committee, told the Telegraph. And British toy makers expressed concern that the regulations would drive up the price of Christmas presents because of the cost of safety testing, according to the paper. Frank Furedi, a professor of sociology at the University of Kent in England, chimed in, saying "Toys and activities, such as blowing up balloons, are part and parcel of the type of children's play that helps them become independent and self-reliant." Maybe so. But while the choking risk posed by balloons appears small, there's no doubt that young children - especially those under three - sometimes do choke to death on balloons, toys, coins, and hot dogs and other foods. Between 1972 and 1992, 449 American children under age 14 choked to death on nonfood items, according to a 2010 policy statement issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Twenty-nine percent of those choking deaths were caused by balloons. Between 1990 and 2004, at last 68 kids died in the U.S. from choking on latex balloons. The balloons are potentially risky, as uninflated pieces of latex can "conform to the child's airway and form an airtight seal," the statement said. Shiny Mylar balloons might be a better bet, according to Safekids.org. That's because they don't break into pieces when deflated or popped.

on their archive marathon yesterday, i heard extended intimate interviews with waylon jennings, willie nelson, and ornette from the early 70s, and many live studio performances. when i get to replay the 36 hour program, i'm sure there are many similar delights. -
