Steven Bernstein's Millennial Territory Orchestra:

There is no doubt in my mind that Rafa Benitez is already counting down his days in Liverpool.

I've been waiting for the Joe Pass set and as soon as it is available again, I plan to order both together.

If it helps, I'll cross even my legs fingers for Hiroshi.

I can't understand what happened to Liverpool... Fulham???

I bought it today. Will let you know my impressions when I get'll it. Nu? Richter was a killer pianist. Very enjoyable playing.

Joyeux anniversaire!!! All the best Guy!

In 2006 I had the pleasure to see Marc Cary playing with Stefon Harris and I was really impressed by his playing. I don’t know why I had to wait another 3 years until I picked up one f his CDs. "Trillium" is a great piano trio and I really enjoy it. I definitely need more Marc Cary's recordings in my collection.

That is terrible news - Hiroshi's customer service is a match for Mosaic's. I hope that something is worked out, although it doesn't sound good.

I bought it today. Will let you know my impressions when I'll get it.

HBHG!!

Billy Taylor:

At the regular Saturday morning service, the rabbi announced that he was planning to leave for a larger congregation that would pay him more. There is a hush within the congregation. No one wants him to leave, because he is so popular. Fred Shapiro, who owns several car dealerships in Newton and Brookline , stands up and proclaims: "If the rabbi stays, I will provide him with a new Cadillac every year, and his wife with a Honda mini-van, to transport their children!" The congregation sighs in appreciation and applauds. Saul Cohen, a successful businessman and lawyer, stands and says, "If the rabbi stays on here, I'll personally double his salary, and establish a foundation to guarantee a free college education for his children!" More sighs and loud applause. Estelle Rubin, age 88, stands and announces with a smile, "If the rabbi stays, I will give him sex!" There is total silence. The rabbi, blushing, asks her: "Mrs. Rubin, you're a wonderful and holy lady. Whatever possessed you to say that?" Estelle's 90-year old husband, Abe, is now trying to hide, holding his forehead with the palm of his hand, and shaking his head from side to side, while his wife replied "Well, I just asked my husband how we could help, and he said, "Fuck him."

RIP Mr. Penn.
