If I can make a suggestion:

How about an effort in general to post something related to jazz once [1X] per week.

I'd have to think that among this crowd we see an article or get some kind of news comes across our collective bows.

My absolute fave pick is Rising Star male vocalist Ed Reed who is 85........obviously an overnight success!!

Happy B-Day! :party: BTW, regarding membership outreach, AllAboutJazz has been down for a while now, and maybe it's for good this time. There were still a bunch of active posters there. I don't know how you can contact them--but if you can, I would! They are up & running again after a t...

Congrats on making your 1 year BD.

Nice group!

George Coleman WAY overdue!

[thanks for the invite back Ron!]

How about not beating yourself up, not second guessing, and just moving on?

I don't think I have such a thing (borrowed the thread idea from 'O').

Reminded by Pete's mentioning a particular show was the best piano trio he's ever seen; I saw Mulgrew Miller with Ray Drummond, bass and Billy Higgins, drums the greatest I've ever seen in this format during Stanford Jazz Festival in Campbell Recital Hall a number of years ago.

What would anyone on earth think that Arsenio Hall's producers would say about this or any act they're pumping?

Given a TV spot with limited time thought it was fabulous and Esperanza definitely went to a place I'd venture she's never visited before as a vocalist!

The touring band has recently had and old band mate of mine Neil Jason on board. Neil was on the Brecker Bros. for a while. I see that Neil subs on Letterman for Will Lee sometimes.

I started posting at JC in '02, so I never got to experience JCS. Oddly enough, Steve Reynolds was the one and only reason I even started posting on JC. So you can all blame him. I just caught the tail end of JCS on my first computer which I bought on my own which was a dumb thing to do which was n...

-While I understand there's minimal interest in Latin Jazz on JT (or on any music board honestly!), this is about a concert for a good cause, not to mention this is one killa band! It's odd, even though I've been a music lover for so long, and understand the hardships of being a professional Jazz p...
