David, That Reed show should be very good. I would agree with Free for All that the Green Mill is very cool.....although a little smokey for my taste!!! I saw the Deep Blue Trio there a week or so ago with Bobby Broom on guitar; killer show. Made this image on the way out! m-

yes.....I like Pink Floyd and saw their performance at Live 8; thought it was pretty good. I grew up on this stuff as a middle-teenager.....before I discovered jazz! Mark

Hey Jazzgeetar, you're our newest member!!! Welcome aboard, stick around and join in the fun!!! Mark

SS, your first paragraph says Eric Alexander on drums....does he play tenor as well! m- ← I fixed that. Now if we could just get Gerry Gibbs on sax it would make a complete band. ←

David, I saw a quick report on the news that he is indeed injured and would return to Boston for tests...not sure if he'll actually go on the DL. m-

I'm making my first trip to the Monterey Jazz Festival later this year. Although I've been to Monterey several times, it was never while the festival was going on. I'm sure many of our board members have been to the festival before.....any tips or great stories to share? Anyone going this year? Thanks! m-

....also the Jazz Showcase is usually closed on Mondays (maybe that's why you're asking for alternatives). m-

Try: The Green Mill (North side) Andy's (downtown, close to Jazz Showcase) Hot House (downtown) m-

Watch it.....you know how sensitive I can be . ← Shucks, Mark, I doubt it if you ever chased anyone away. ← That's more like it, brother!!!

The baseball gods only curse teams that throw the World Series.

Blake, If I can find reasonable accomodations, I will try to make it! I'll keep in touch. Mark

Come on Chris....look around, there is lots to celebrate!!!.......family, friends, some good jazz, baseball, hot dogs....apple pie!!! m- ← You're right, but I celebrate most of that on a daily basis...well, maybe not baseball... ...and, come to think of it, maybe not hot dogs and apple pie (though I love both)... ...then, too, not much family left.... ...but I have an abundance of true friends... and, yes, they are worth a chronic celebration!! BTW Also look forward to our country getting back on track. ← ...attaboy, Chris!!!

Anyone see AB lately; he hasn't posted in about a month? I had been talking or writing him weekly but he seems to have dissapeared.....maybe that's why he's dissapeared! I've emailed him as well but no reply; I hope all is well! m-

Is Pharez at the Kitchen Sunday night? Yikes I haven't seen him years. I think I'm going to try to go-- are you going early? ← Rachel, I'll be there around 8 or so; hope to see you there! Mark
