2018 NEA Jazz Masters: Metheny, Reeves, Brackeen, Barkan


Recommended Posts

Congratulations to the winners.

That said, I can't help but say that people like Roswell Ruud, Roscoe Mitchell, Andrew Cyrille, and Louis Hayes are at least as much, and in my opinion, much more deserving than any people who were honored this year.  I guess that I'm just part of the yearly complaining.

Roscoe's new ECM album due at the end of the month is really fantastic.  I love how he uses the four trios separately and all together, especially with various people playing the AEOC's percussion instruments.

I'm looking forward to it - pre-ordered!!

Todd Barkan.  Wow.  I grew up at the Keystone Korner.  Yeah, he's done a lot since then - not that the Keystone was any small achievement.  Good for you, Todd Barkan.  

And I saw Joanne Brackeen at the Keystone.  Good for her too.  

Sure, lots of worthy people overlooked, but ain't that always the case?
