Re: Kenny Wheeler — R.I.P.

At the top of my list of favorite Kenny Wheeler albums are Deer Wan and Double, Double You , two of the first albums of his I became familiar with while at KJZZ . The interplay between Kenny and Michael Brecker on this track is delicious to my ears. And the rhythm section is absolutely superb. http...

No problem, pig pen. I watched it on YouTube. I'm still puzzled as to why the "owner" felt it necessary to limit the viewing of that video. Strange.

When I tried to watch the Jeff Ballard video, this is what I saw instead.

Watch this video on YouTube.

Re: The Prog Thread

I always dug King Crimson , too! In fact, we played some tracks of theirs on KJZZ when I worked there, and they sounded just fine in that context when segued with the proper jazz cut. Tony Levin is a true "monster" on his instruments! Also Fripp, of course. I'm envious, GG. I also enjoyed ...

Re: Documentaries

Has anyone seen the first episode(s) of "The Roosevelts: An Intimate History"?

It sounds intriguing and ambitious, but we're on vacation so probably won't see it this time around.

Re: Cameras & Photography

Here is a short video I shot as Darren was approaching in the boat to take us to the cabin. The voices you'll hear are those of Patti and her 94 year-old father, Richard. The bugs were very annoying, but not a problem on the ride to the cabin or at the cabin itself. Can you believe the serenity...

Re: Cameras & Photography

As many of you already know, our son Darren has been working away in the wilds of Alaska on a log cabin of his dreams. It's located about 130 miles north of Anchorage on the shores of a gorgeous lake. There is a road to one portion of the lake where there is a boat launch — a gravel pad sloping...

Very nice reportage, as usual, Steve. I often feel transported to the gig when you write a review — with your usual passion and take-no-prisoners style.

By the way, I've been a longtime fan of Barre Phillips, so was glad to read about his impact.

Thanks!
