Watch out -- he's performing with Jason Moran, so the usual crowd will be around soon to tell you how terrible it will be... I'm actually swinging through New York but I'll actually be gone by Sunday evening. There is a small chance I could make the late night set Friday (where Moran will be playing (and murdering ) Monk standards. Of course, there are other things I might do. We'll see how I feel when I get here. Still, it is Charles Lloyd playing at a small club. Even if Lorraine Gordon was on piano and I would still go to see it.

It's colder than it looks.

March 15, 2015 Charles Lloyd will play his first gig at the Vanguard in NY in 50 years. I am very excited to see him in a small venue. I'll be there for both sets. It is the Lloyd's birthday March 15, juxtaposed with the Vanguard's 80th anniversary this will be a one great night of jazz.

How about this one?

I couldn't located a larger image.

Too damn cold here in NY. 1 F -17.2 C. I long for a warmer place to live. I opened up my tool shed to let any of the stray cats roaming the streets to get some protection. Yeah they went inside overnight, but also did their business in my shed.

Too funny.

Amazing.

I like this one. There's a lot of bright colors.

I was in an international market today, and I saw this being sold. Anyone ever eat this and can tell me what it is?

Here is another one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJwkbziNEQA#t=121 I can seem to embed the video.

Happy Birthday.
