Not to be too mean but maybe this was part of the problem: "I don’t have the money to pay,” said Chastain, a singer who sometimes performs at the club. “The state can sell everything I have.” they don't padlock a business unless there has been a history on non-compliance and neglect.

Happy Birthday Soul Stream!

I don't mean to be nasty, but that's the silliest idea I have ever heard.

Happy Birthday, Mark!

Who were those "jazz" fans in 1982, by the way? Were they fans of The Crusaders, Earl Klugh and John Klemmer?

By "way of life music", do you mean music that is part of the social structure of a neighborhood where people live, work and play? Like the old African American neighborhoods? If so, I guess that you can say that non-existent. Gone the way of the corner grocer.

There is a lot of great, exciting and forward looking music being produced (and heard) all over the world. It's just not played or performed in the major concert halls or politically correct clubs. Those venues have to try to make money first, if they can. I'm not saying it's right or that they should be doing more nurturing of different and new talent, or even if it's the smart money move, that's just the way it is.

I have to agree with you there! I had to turn off the Yankee / Red Sox game.

I'll have to re-read the James Gavin ( whose other books I like a lot: "Stormy Weather" and "Intimate Nights"), along with the Jeroen De Valk books.

Do yourself a favor Aggie, and skip "The Man with the Horn"!

This is one to get, Murph.

Your original question was about artists under the radar, and that's very admirable, but almost all jazz artists are under the radar! I honestly don't know where to start. Let's see...what about the Strickland brothers Marcus and E.J.? They both have new recordings out now. Then there are the Rodriguez Brothers Robert and Michael. Young guys ( under 30) and great players.

You should check out Tommy Smith's BLUE SMITH Tommy Smith - tenor & soprano saxophone James Genus - acoustic bass John Scofield - guitar Clarence Penn - drums

Happy Birthday, Lon!

Hey, I've been called a "minority of one" more than once! No big deal Yeah I know it's MOTIAN. Sorry for the typo. Edit: Bobby and Bobby Broom fans: I have several of your/his recordings in my collection that I dig, and enjoyed your/his playing with Mr. Rollins. OK?

Stevens Point? Is that you Russ Haines? Missed you at JazzWeek if it is. OK, I admit, maybe it's every third note. But it is annoying, and I admit, not the kind of sound that I like ( who would?). As for Sonny, who knows why he does what he does? He's had about 20 years of REALLY annoying percussionists playing with him! Serious "hateration"? Geez, I said Sorry! By the way, the record is still seriously mediocre. Listen to the Motion or the Hersch mentioned above and you'll never go back to the Broom recording. Mea maxima culpa and all that.

In NYC, ( in New York State in general) dispassionate landlords have to pay ridiculous and ever rising ( and dispassionate) property taxes. No amount of good vibes can pay that bill. The last time I saw Michael Howell, he was playing with Sonny Rollins, I believe.

Pit Inn is a high point of Cedar's music:

Well there ya go, Mike! See (hear) what I mean? Hersch plays music!
