Carlos Tevez leaves Manchester United.

Shorty Rogers, JSP box set:

Thanks Lon.

A question to Evans' experts: "The Last Waltz" set is more or less from the same time as Turn Out the Stars (September 1980) and also with the same players (Marc Johnson and Joe LaBarbera) If I have the Last Waltz, how essential is Turn out the Stars?

Tommy, I couldn’t phrase it better than you.

I love his recordings with Toshiko Akiyoshi:

Sad news.

David Villa becomes Real Madrid's third big-money signing.

This is one my favorite Jordan's recordings (2 CDs set):

It looks like Real is always the next station after Manchester United: Van Nistelrooy, Beckham, Ronaldo, who's next???

Jimmy Knepper (as a leader).

My Favorite vocalists are not jazz singers. OK, this is not exactly the topic but want to tell you that I have a special weakness to Marianne Faithful. Also Marla Glen is an amazing singer.

Ronaldo joins Kaka!!!

Mary Lou Williams Toshiko Akiyoshi Joanne Brackeen Geri Allen Myra Melford Marilyn Crispell Terri Lyne Carrington Jane Bunnett Junko Onishi

All the best!!!

Tanya Kalmanovitch is my new discovery. Her duet with Myra Melford really impressed me.
