I was going to hold my opinion to myself since Tom asked for recommendations but... I have to say that I find Herring's playing at his very best predictable and at his worst, just plain role playing/boring. He's a graduate of West Point I believe, so draw your own conclusions.

Ahhhh...leave the Chewster alone!

When I put the address in one of those satellite servers. It didn't look like the same house at all. At least not from above! But now that you mentioned it I looked a little harder and see that the heirs still are owners of record and that maybe the satellite showed the wrong house. As you can see ( I hope) the hose to the north is the one I was referring to, and the one just below or to the south, is much smaller than the other and it looks like it could be Nica's house. IMAGE

I just read the book and agree with the review, but it's nice to a little more information after all. I also got the feeling that the author is not a "bone fide" jazz fan, or that he really know about the music and the history. By the way, I don't believe that Nica's Weehawken house is there any more. I think it has at least been a tear down.

My wife wishes she was in the Bay Area, Brooks! It was over 100 here today.

Picking up what I heard in Alan Bergman's office ( who represents the Monk estate in these matters), I believe that in fact, Concord did actually pass on the Monk/Trane release. It went to the highest bidder.

Outside of the Engelwood studio:

I always thought that Wilfred Middlebrooks had a kind of scary name. Maybe it's just me.

Ted, you're right, and you're right!

Isn't that Clifford on the ramp in the center with the baseball cap? The to the left of Gigi looks like Q to me.

Yeah, I love this one and yes, it's rarely discussed or acknowledged, for some reason.

I talked to drummer Johnathan Blake last week, who was the drummer on the tour, and he told me that Lee will be in the hospital for quite some time for therapy. He also said that Lee was talking and joking the day after the stroke, by the way.
