I was deeply impressed by Gonzalo Higuaín.

One dark night Marilyn Crispell left her silent house and recorded an improvised duet with clarinetist David Rothenberg. This new CD (ECM) will be released next week. New release by Marilyn Crispell, always makes me happy. Needless to say I pre ordered it.

Also Clarence Shaw, trumpet, 1926.

Yossi Benayoun moved from Liverpool to Chelsea. I wish him good luck but I'm not sure he took the right decision. I'm afraid he is going to spend most of his time on the bench. I hope I'm wrong.

The 2ed round starts tomorrow. I'm still optimistic.

Also Tony Oxley, druns, 1938

New release of Junko Onishi always makes me happy. Oh, I missed that. Any details on who's playing with her etc. Bentsy? I'll e-mail Hiroshi ans ask him. I received this e-mail message from Hiroshi:

June 14: Kenny Drew, Jr. , piano, 1958 Marcus Miller, bass, 1959

New release of Junko Onishi always makes me happy. Oh, I missed that. Any details on who's playing with her etc. Bentsy?

New release of Junko Onishi always makes me happy.

It is really beyond me why Henry & Florent Maluda are on the bench.

I'll look for it. Thanks.

I really enjoyed both CDs this week. Thanks again.

Am I the first one to mention David S. Ware??? I dont like his playing and I tried to listen to several of his CDs. Few years ago I sold all of them.

Charles Sullivan CDs have landed this week in my POB:

Also Hazel Scott, piano, 1920

Nat Hentoff, historian, novelist, jazz and country music critic, 1925

One more vote for Pat Metheny. Brad Mehldau and Enrico Piranunzi are also in the same list.

June 9: Cole Porter, composer, 1891

June 8: Bill Watrous, trombone, 1939 Uri Caine, piano, 1956

In memory of Hank Jones:
