So your show starts at 8 p.m. eastern daylight time?

Thanks Bill, Aloc! The grant to make this happens requires the focus to be on Michigan jazz musicians: both Geri Allen and Robert Hurst are teaching part time at U of M, and pianist James Dapogny, one of the foremost American scholars on the music of Jelly Roll Morton, lives in Ann Arbor. Of the 20 musicians appearing only 4, the band with Altschul, are not from or closely associated with Michigan. Very much looking forward to Geri Allen. She'll be playing Blue Lake's Boesendorfer, $120,000 worth of German technical musical scharfsinn.

Thanks Jim!

What's on after "Jazz Flower Power"?

Ah! loca in the hoos-a. Snow melted? Lines up? BillF thank you for the word on Humph. Was looking over "The Other Parlophones 1951-54" on Sackville records recently, and in another place saw his name associated with mentoring Stacey Kent. Long live the Humphrey.

This came across the desk. Quote: Dear Friends, As you may have heard, the brilliantly swinging bassist and beautiful human being, Dennis Irwin, died yesterday (March 10, 2008). I went to school with Dennis at North Texas State in the early 1970s. And after those days, I saw him from time to time over the years. And each time, without fail, he'd always be so warm and friendly. When my, son, Matt Brewer (bassist now with Greg Osby, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, and others) began his journey as a jazz musician, Dennis became one of his most supportive elders. This meant a lot to me as I had always loved the kind of person Dennis was (along with the way he played the bass with such heart and soul). And Matt, too, loved the way Dennis played. He got a private lesson from Dennis one time. And Dennis later told me that he had a hard time accepting money from us for the lesson because of Matt's already superb ability. But, Matt would never have accepted that. His one lesson with Dennis meant so much to him - more than I think Dennis ever really knew, even though I told him so. But, that's how it is with the great ones, isn't it? They mean so much to us and yet seem so surprised when we tell them how much we honor and appreciate them. So, I'll say it again: Thank you forever and ever, Dennis Irwin. Thank you for inspiring my son, Matt, and for encouraging him to live his dream. He really IS living it now, Dennis - thanks to people like you. With deepest respect and gratitude, Paul P. S. To see a tribute to Dennis go here: -- Dr. Paul Brewer Director of Bands Aquinas College Grand Rapids, Michigan http://www.aquinas.edu/music/faculty.html (end quote)

"I Am A Swan" is cool. Playing that tonight during our Bix program on Jazz From Blue Lake. LV

The first time Nessa played for me "Impressions" with Coltrane and Haynes, the one which boils down to a tenor/drum duet, sealed the deal on Roy Haynes.

Sounds good. He spent a lot of time in Sarah Vaughn's trio, too. What a career. Happy to have heard him with Alice Coltrane and Charlie Haden, Ravi on tenor.

Thanks Joe. What's the symbol with "B" and a triangle mean? Major? And if it is a triad, what letters consitute the B triad?

George is on a new one with his organ playing wife on Doodlin' records. Nice stanky version of "Confirmation" and Calvin Keys funkin up "Impressions."

Thank you Rastissimo! P.S. I'm advocating with the Intersection for a show featuring Cuong Vu's band with Organasstissimo as "opener." We'll see we'll see.....

Yeah, something along those lines -- that one note is standing in a place that could be occupied by another 11; or that there are similarities between the existing note and it's "cousins" in other cleffs. The interview was transcribed and posted here (I think in Jazz In Print) as "Getting Schooled: An Interview With Ornette Coleman." You can Google that to find it at All About Jazz, too. His theory is way above my head, though. LV

Cool. The 1992 program was done without benefit of a computer -- it was all tape, just dubbing and cutting. Sure can tell. Yet, there it is: Naked Lunch. There will be comparison versions of "Sleep Talk" from "Of Human Feelings" and "Sleep Talking" from "Sound Grammer" as well as "Mob Job" from "Of Human Feelings," "Hidden Man" and "Song X" plus "Feet Music" from "In All Languages" (two versions) and a version of "Feet Music" from Ken Vandermark's Sound In Action Trio, two drummers and a tenor saxophone.
