Might be interesting! Cellist/Composer/Arranger Akua Dixon To Release Her Second CD as a Leader, "Akua Dixon," On Her Akua's Music Imprint, January 13, 2015 Follow-Up to 2011's "Moving On" Features Dixon's String Quartet Plus Guests Regina Carter, John Blake Jr., Kenny Davis CD Release Shows Scheduled for 1/18 Mount Morris Ascension Presbyterian Church, NYC; 1/30 Trumpets, Montclair, NJ; 4/18 Sistas' Place Coffee House, Brooklyn; 4/24 Leonard Nimoy Thalia at Peter Norton Symphony Space, NYC November 18, 2014 Jazz string pioneer Akua Dixon entered a new creative phase with the sleek 2011 quartet session Moving On, her first album under her own name. Her new album, Akua Dixon, is a dazzling string conclave that surveys the cellist/composer/ arranger's expansive stylistic reach. Dixon's label, Akua's Music, will release the disc on January 13, 2015. The project showcases Dixon as a powerfully emotive improviser and dauntingly creative arranger exploring sumptuous American Songbook ballads, a suave Afro-Cuban standard, erotically charged nuevo tango, and a rootsy Ellingtonian opus. "When I look back at my history I've written for all different sizes of string ensembles, from duos and trios to orchestras," Dixon says. "But the string quartet is the easiest unit to keep together and keep working, and it's the situation I've written for the most." The eponymous CD features Dixon's working string quartet (Patrisa Tomassini, first violin; Gwen Laster or Chala Yancy, second violin; and Ina Paris, viola) plus special guests like bassist Kenny Davis, violin star Regina Carter, and violin master John Blake Jr. (in one of his final recordings before his passing last August). Also featured, on one track apiece, are Dixon's children -- drummer Orion Turre, heard on the album opener "Haitian Fight Song," and vocalist Andromeda Turre, who contributes a swooning version of "Lush Life." "They got exposed to a lot of different music growing up and both became wonderful musicians," says their proud mother. "Making music for me has always been a family affair." Born and raised in New York City, Akua Dixon grew up in a family suffused with music. She started playing with her sister, the late violinist Gayle Dixon, shortly after the cello came into her life in the 4th grade. After graduating from the prestigious "Fame" High School of the Performing Arts, Dixon studied at the Manhattan School of Music at a time when the only track available focused on European classical music. She describes her post-graduation gig in the pit band at the Apollo Theater as an essential proving ground. Backing a disparate array of stars from Rev. James Cleveland and Barry White to James Brown and Dionne Warwick, she developed a vast idiomatic repertoire. With the doors of most symphony orchestras closed to African-American musicians (to say nothing of women), Dixon found a home in the Symphony of the New World, which is where she experienced the Ellingtonian epiphany that led her to jazz. "I started immersing myself in jazz and spirituals, and became determined to learn the secrets of improvising," she says. It's hard to overstate the centrality of Dixon's contribution to the rise of visibility of bowed strings in jazz. In the early 1970s the New York scene was exploding with creatively ambitious and talented string players, many of whom gathered in the String Reunion, a 30-piece orchestra founded by Noel Pointer. Dixon served as the ensemble's director of new music, supplying the group with a steady stream of original compositions and arrangements. At the same time, she launched her own string quartet, Quartette Indigo, which made its big-league debut at the Village Gate with her sister Gayle Dixon, Maxine Roach, and John Blake Jr. Dixon collaborated closely with another jazz giant in the early 1980s as a founding member of the Max Roach Double Quartet. She had honed her rhythmic drive backing the likes of James Brown, but learning to phrase bebop with one of the idiom's founding fathers was an invaluable experience. After years of lending her skills to recordings by masters such as Archie Shepp, Don Cherry, Buster Williams, Carmen McRae, Dizzy Gillespie, Abbey Lincoln, Tom Harrell, and her former husband Steve Turre, Dixon made a bold statement of her own with 1994's Quartette Indigo (Landmark), a classic album featuring violist Ron Lawrence and violinists Gayle Dixon and John Blake Jr. (reissued by 32 Jazz). Supported by a grant from the NEA to compose the music, she delivered a brilliant second album in 1997 with Afrika! Afrika! (Savant) with Lawrence, and violinists Regina Carter and Marlene Rice. She spent much of the next decade immersed in education, teaching at various institutions and conducting dozens of performances through the Carnegie Hall Neighborhood Concert Series. With the release of Akua Dixon, however, Dixon has refocused her priorities and put her own music on the front burner. In support of the new CD, Dixon will be appearing with her string quartet 1/18 at the Mount Morris Ascension Presbyterian Church, 122nd Street and Fifth Avenue, NYC (the church she attended growing up was in this facility). Other CD release shows include: 1/30 Trumpets, Montclair, NJ; 4/18 Sistas' Place Coffee House, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn; 4/30 Leonard Nimoy Thalia at Peter Norton Symphony Space, 2537 Broadway at 95th Street, NYC.

Watch too much Fox lately, Russell? LOL! erwbol, American exceptionalism has been around a lot longer than Fox News!

Are you sure there are no scammers IN North America? Or if you want to advise against SPECIFIC regions of the world to deal with, then please say so and be specific. Otherwise you might do a huge and unfair disservice to honest collectors from outside the US of A (remember there IS a world of decent people and jazz fans out there) who might even be prepared to bear the huge shipping costs for the right item, and/or you might unnecessarily discourage newbie sellers on the forum who maybe have not dealt with buyers from abroad (or maybe even people from abroad at all) before. In short, please let's be fair. Steve, did I say that there are no scammers in North America? It looks to me like you're in a bad mood for some reason, and you're taking it out on me. I'm not here for that. Maybe there is a 900 phone number where for $3.95 a minute a beautiful woman will listen to your complaining about American exceptionalism! Your sentence which I have highlighted suggests to me that you have a desire to write my posts. That's not going to happen either. My friend, for your impertinence, I will insist that the next time I am in southern Germany, you will buy the first round of your favorite beer, which I'm confident will be outstanding!

I don't follow pro basketball, but I see that this week's power rankings are out, and I am very surprised by two things... 1) The Warriors are ranked as the best team in the league. 2) The Lakers are ranked next to last. Does this seem right to those of you who follow the NBA? http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/nba-power-rankings-warriors-continue-to-lead-the-pack/ar-BBeiHRA?ocid=ansSBNation11

Laurie, a few years ago I had to sell my Mosaics. It was my experience that if you are lucky you will get the highest price at eBay. However, the situation at eBay depends upon the current state of the economy (rather than your merchandise). You may also need to be concerned about scammers from outside of North America. If you offer your items here, you may not get the highest offer per item, but you might very well "move" the most merchandise when all is said and done. Many folks here are in the habit of buying multiple items from sellers on this board. The one Mosaic which I believe you are most likely to "strike it rich" using eBay is the Maynard Ferguson Roulette box. Before you set a price on eBay, take a look at the price that item has recently sold there for. You will probably get a similar amount.

Pretty boring. Then the Als scored 21 in the third, and another 14 in the fourth to make it 50-3. At that point, it seemed like everyone quit playing. As a result, there were some pretty exciting long runs and kick returns which the ball carriers seemed to make without any help, because both their teammates and the tacklers had quit playing! ***** Edmonton 18....Saskatchewan 10. http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=779184 http://www.tsn.ca/eskimos-advance-to-western-final-with-win-over-roughriders-1.136959 The Eskimos controlled the game. Kerry Joseph tied a playoff record by throwing five interceptions. In the fourth, Chamblin pulled Joseph and put in Sunseri, who seemed to give the Riders some spark. But then Jones pulled Nichols and put in Reilly, and he seemed to give the momentum back to the Eskimos. ***** Some good quick videos from today... http://cfl.ca/video/index/id/106403 http://cfl.ca/video/index/id/106373 http://cfl.ca/video/index/id/106371

Here are all of this year's Most Outstanding Player nominees: PLAYER Solomon Elimimian (BC) Ricky Ray (TOR) DEFENSIVE Solomon Elimimian (BC) Bear Woods (MTL) CANADIAN Jon Cornish (CGY) Ted Laurent (HAM) OFFENSIVE LINEMAN Brett Jones (CGY) Jeff Perrett (MTL) SPECIAL TEAMS Lirim Hajrullahu (WPG) Swayze Waters (TOR) ROOKIE Dexter McCoil (EDM) Tristan Okpalaugo (TOR) In the past few years I've found it fairly easy to pick the winners, but not this year. I'll go with... Ricky Ray Solomon Elimimian Jon Cornish Brett Jones Swayze Waters Dexter McCoil It can definitely be argued that Elimimian had a better year than Ray, but for most of the year people thought that John Chick would be named the league's best defensive player. I don't think that the voters have been watching Elimimian throughout the year like they have Ray. Cornish had a crazy year. He was one of the best players in league history the games that he played, but he missed half the schedule with injuries. I think that the voters will name him Best Canadian as a consolation prize. Offensive Lineman is always a tough call. McCoil made some highlight videos throughout the year, so I think that he will get the nod. Swayze Waters was not only good with the field goals, but he was magical punting the ball out of bounds inside the ten-yard line. For me, he and Elimimian (for Best Defensive Player) are the easiest picks.

Happy Birthday 2014 Eric!
