ghost of miles

sheldonm has hipped me to Wayne Shorter's forthcoming appearance at Clowes Hall in Indianapolis on April 4. You can check out Shorter's full tour schedule at his page on the Verve Records site (guess it has a few uses after all).

I read on one of the other boards (if it's Friday, this must be Organissimo) that the Berigan set, originally scheduled for a May release, has been delayed. Is this true?

Mark, I think it's generally a pretty good bio as well. I wrote a review of it when it came out for our local alterna-weekly and praised it for the most part, but I did get annoyed by Santoro's style at times; "Mingus was feeling the zeitgeist" was one refrain that got on my nerves. Santoro came across my review online and actually sent my editor a thank-you note, which surprised me, since I did make some pretty incisive remarks about his writing manner... but I found it a more lively read than Brian Priestly's rather pedestrian treatment (IMO), although I know many prefer it to Santoro's book.

Nice pad, B3-er! It feels so homey that I decided to reincarnate under my old BN handle. I've already bookmarked ya...
