Re: DownBeat Announces 2014 Readers Poll Results

What is the average age of the winners--70? 80? No, not by my calculations. It would be a pretty difficult task to assess the "average" age of these DB winners, walto. While there are a number of musicians in their 70s and older, there are a greater number of musicians in that group who a...

Re: Ray Santisi, jazz pianist and Berklee professor — R.I.P.

I'm deeply saddened by this news. Ray Santisi was one of my professors at Berklee in the early 60s, and he couldn't have been nicer or more supportive of students. His "rhythm workshop" classes were infectious and popular, working with a piano-based trio of students, including a b...

Re: Beer — "all things malty and frothy"

Here's a favorite from Midnight Sun Brewing in Anchorage, a Belgian-Style Tripel called Panty Peeler. It's yummy and potent (ABV - 8.5%)!

Re: Beer — "all things malty and frothy"

Nice to see you posting, Steve. I really dig Scotch Ales if they're not too sweet. Some can almost be cloying and dessert-like, but when they're right , they're incredibly tasty. Sadly, the beer pictured below is no longer in production here. Midnight Sun Brewing in Anchorage brewed it ...

Miles & Kenny G

I ran across this photo today, which begs for imaginative captioning. I can't believe that this is the first time I've seen it. Apparently, Kenny was actually on-the-road with Miles at one point (late 80s), opening for him in concert venues. http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvcszah4t11qab8zco1_500....
