We're cool, Coda.

Now to post some larger-than-usual images.

Thanks, Henry.

Please explain what you mean by "mega posters", and by what method(s) that could be achieved?

We're fine, Coda. Thanks for your concern. This 7.9 quake (a BIG one) occurred in the distant Aleutian Islands. The tsunami warning was a regional one which didn't materialize. It was a deep earthquake near Little Sitkin Island, about 1000 miles from Anchorage. If it hadn't been so deep (over 70 mil...

Thanks, Brooks. No problem with posting this here.

It was our pleasure to send out 1st birthday party invitations to the very people who have made this little experiment possible. While we can't and don't want to compete with social media such as Facebook, Twitter, etc., we still believe that there is value in a forum such as Jazztalk. That's why I'...

Coda, I was speaking about your images in a very broad-brushed, simplistic manner. I realize that you care a great deal about your digital images and their many nuances, and certainly wasn't trying to challenge your knowledge or equipment. Now, on another related subject, you should be pleased to le...

Thanks for stopping by, jazzcaster. We appreciate it. Hanging out with your sweetie is a very important thing, and we never want to get in the way of those dynamics.

We'll leave the light on for you on the 26th, just in case.

As Jazztalk approaches its 1st birthday, we thought it might be fun to have a proper birthday party on that day, Thursday, June 26, and continue through the last ...

Coda, I don't know what monitor you're using, but my Samsung 21" shows an abundance of color, contrast & detail on all of your shots ... always. You routinely punch up the saturation and contrast in post-processing, or at least it seems that way. The hibiscus did not suffer.

Thanks for the update, Steve. Looks as if some fine new material is just around the corner. Kenny Wheeler's new quintet recording will be at or near the top of my list, that's for sure. I haven't heard Jon in that trio context yet, so look forward to that one as well. As always, your in...

Until reading an article today, I had forgotten that Horace began his musical career as a tenor saxophonist in the style of Lester Young, before switching to piano. He was discovered by a tenor player, Stan Getz, who took him on the road with him. His association with Art Blakey was also pivotal in...

In my Inbox from ECM this morning: We are pleased to announce the release of Last Dance by Keith Jarrett and Charlie Haden, “as good as ‘Jasmine’”, The Guardian writes. “There are plenty of rapturous love songs, but for all their warm glow, this duo constantly invests them with strength and urgency....
