At the radio station when Spotify came on the streaming scene in 2010 or 2011, jazz musicians were encouraging everyone to boycott...

Re: The SmallsLIVE Foundation Newsletter
I was struck by a couple of things in Spike's latest newsletter. The first was the dire, and as yet unconfirmed, prediction that there will be no indoor dining in NYC until October. I read about Mayor De Blasio and Governor Cuomo sparring over the fates of small businesses and then realize that smal...

Re: Gary Peacock — R.I.P.
Thanks for that, Justin. You’re so right - that’s Ron Thorne all the way. He sent me and turned me on to so much amazing Jim Pepper. And I know he was a mutual Towner/Oregon fan. Forever grateful. I need to listen to Guamba!

Re: The SmallsLIVE Foundation Newsletter
Very nice write-up, Justin. And great pics that offer different angles of the rooms - indoors and outside. I’ve walked by Smalls in the daytime when it was closed but that’s it. Nice Mezzrow shot. I can’t believe I haven’t seen this before. Really a treat. Thanks!
