I thought he died of aids. Corea's "Gotta Match?" is dedicated to him. Aren't there a few of his solos with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis band, too?

$1,050 is a joke?

Maybe Ted will shoot an animal on stage as part of the act.

Because he waited a long, long time to take his music "public" I'd bet he left the "sound alike" part of his development in the 'shed. In those interviews where he talks about learning from the early greats he often says, "Not to copy them," but as an aid in helping him raise his own musical standards.

Thanks for putting this up, Jim!

March 18, 2009 For immediate release Grand Valley trumpet student wins first place at national competition ALLENDALE, Mich. -- Grand Valley State University senior Hunter Eberly won first prize at the 2009 National Trumpet Competition College Solo Division. The competition was held last weekend at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. Hunter is the first Grand Valley student to win the top prize in the college solo competition. Grand Valley’s Trumpet Ensemble “A,” which includes Eberly, Mark Peterson, Adam Cuthbert, Alex Wilson, and Neal Andrews, won 3rd prize in the Trumpet Ensemble Competition. Juilliard and Northwestern University won first and second prizes respectively. “It was a lot of fun, and it was an awesome experience for me,” said Eberly. “I performed the first movement of Eino Tamberg’s “Concerto for Trumpet,” which has a pretty dark mood, a lot of odd interval jumps and a lot of fast technical sections, but those are contrasted by a few lyrical flowing sections, that give the piece sort of a feeling of hope.” Eberly started playing piano when he was three, and started trumpet in third grade. The Muskegon native is a graduate of Calvary Christian High School and the son of Cheri and Sam Eberly. “My mom is a band director at Calvary Christian Schools in Fruitport and a trumpet player, and I became interested in music through her,” said Eberly, who has studied at Grand Valley with Richard Stoelzel, associate professor of trumpet and the brass department coordinator. “This competition is the most notable national competition for trumpet players,” said Stoelzel. “I am extremely proud of Hunter’s outstanding accomplishment. His first place win is a milestone for the trumpet studio and the music department.” Success has come steadily for Eberly. He was a member of Grand Valley’s trumpet ensemble last year, which took first prize at the competition. He also won an International Trumpet Guild scholarship last year, has performed with the GVSU trumpet ensemble at one ITG conference, and will perform again at this year’s conference. Eberly was also a rare student member of the GVSU Faculty Brass Quintet last year, was principle trumpet of the GVSU Orchestra last semester and is currently principle trumpet of the Symphonic Wind Ensemble. Eberly will graduate this spring and plans to pursue a master’s degree in music. He has been accepted to Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, and is in the finals for The Colburn School in Los Angeles. “These are my two top choices, so I will be studying in either Houston or Los Angeles next year,” said Eberly. “My ultimate goal is to be a professional trumpet player and teacher. I want to play in a major symphony orchestra, as well as be a trumpet professor at a university.”

Aw man, I missed that part, but did hear them talking about you, Chuck, when they played some early Jarman. Was swept up in bedtime for the girls and couldn't sit and listen. Reading them Brother's Grimm (sunny days, sunny days). I wonder if John recorded this one.....?

Blue Lake has a copy of Dali at the radio station. I can play it on the air sometime tonight, probably just before 11 p.m.

This is sounding good. Anyone else listening?

I've heard that, too, that it is not based on Body and Soul, that it is original and almost "free."

This is central time, so 5:30 eastern time.

Pianist/composer Fred Hersch had a difficult 2008. See: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...=001&sc=625 After returning to public performance in October, and hitting with his band in San Francisco in early February, on February 22nd he gave his first solo piano recital since his recovery at the Wichers Auditorium of the Nykerk Hall of Music at Hope College, Holland, Michigan. This Sunday evening, March 15th, at 7 p.m. eastern time, Blue Lake Public Radio is pleased to present a recording of that historic performance in its entirety. Highlights include heart breaking renditions of "I'll Be Seeing You" and "This Nearly Was Mine," as well as several Hersch originals including "Whirl" and "Mandevilla," as well as Benny Golson's jazz classic "Whisper Not." The last time Blue Lake Public Radio was fortunate to record Mr. Hersch was in the Spring of 2006 in Grand Rapids shortly after Hersch's week long solo piano engagement at The Village Vanguard. His long-time association with Hope College in Holland and Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo has provided tremendous educational opportunities for young musicians in the region and regular highlights in the concert year. Fred Hersch live at Hope College, Holland, will stream live over Blue Lake Public Radio this Sunday evening beginning at 7 p.m. from http://www.bluelake.org/radio . Lazaro Vega Producer and host Thanks for John Erskine of the Hope College Sound Lab for recording and preparing this performance for broadcast.
