Sonny Rollins and Miles Davis together. How could I resist?
Today I listened to the Mp3s of their album Dig, which I downloaded from Emusic a few months ago. I’d already listened to the solo album I got of Sonny’s (Way Out West) – an album that may even surpass Global Warming as my favorite record [...]

I finally got a new clock radio, hoping the new one would have a better radio tuner.
It does – but I’m still not able to get a good signal from Couleur Jazz. I was able to tune it in for a few minutes yesterday… now, it’s impossible.
I have to go the digital tuner route for [...]

Interesting: I was flipping through a magazine today and read a Sony ad about their new Flash ROM Walkmans.
Why that was interesting: I read this ad and thought how their ‘new’ product is really the same technology as my Iriver.

Aruntx Podcasting Syndication Features Garage Band Music
I’ve been following more than a few podcasts lately. I like this syndication of the media – especially if it makes more jazz available!

The Canadian Idol finale was tonight.
I have to say: this year, Canada got it right!
On the negative side, I feel they stretched out the show too long. At two hours, it just felt like it dragged at times. Also Rex Goudie went off-key again in the final performance.
One big negative for me was a performance [...]

Tonight was the final performance show for the 2005 Canadian Idol competition.
I agree with the judges: Alive (the first single the winner will release) is a hit whoever releases it. Both Rex Goudie and Melissa O’Neal gave distinct and strong performances of it.
That they had Theresa Sokyrka perform her hit from her album – and [...]

Luther Vandross, Smooth Crooner of R&B, Is Dead at 54
I just learned this today, although it happened back in July.
Luther performed some of the best soul of my youth, and I was really hoping he’d pull through after his stroke.
Late news, but nonetheless sad.

From one sad event to another: in less than 9 hours, it will be the 4th anniversary of 9-11.
Four years since that tragic day – and 4 years too many that the scumbags who orchestrated it havent’s been caught.

(You’ve seen a lot of different attempts at putting Technorati tags in this blog lately. I think I’ve found one I’ll stick with.)
I just watched the Katrina Relief telethon that I taped last night. Just like the one for 9-11 years ago, I was emotional all throughout this one.
I can’t find fault in any of [...]

The Contemporary Jazz Lovers and Concerts Place
I don’t link to many places overall, but this blog deserves it. Much as I love Jazz, Webmistress Missy offers much more in-depth reviews of recent artists and performers than I do.
