while enjoying the trio tethered moon tosca recording today, i found this review of a summer of 2003 concert. the motian -peacock duo performs magnificently in several piano trio settings, this being no exception. the reviewer, thomas bartlett, captured beautifully the magic of this rarely hard gem of a trio. "Peacock began alone, high on the bass, with a slowly developing circular figure. His tone, as usual, was completely alive and constantly in motion, an acoustic bass sound with very little wood in it. Soon he was joined by Motian, tapping a carefully inconsistent pattern on the cymbals, seeming intent on finding the spaces between Peacock’s notes. I expected Kikuchi to enter with the same kind of animated but constantly interrupted energy, but instead, after a few whispered chords, he began with “So in Love”, the Cole Porter standard, played extraordinarily slowly and with no swing or noticeable jazz inflection, almost like a hymn. Kikuchi coaxes an incredible sound out of the piano, largely for the simple reason that he cares so much: no other pianist working in jazz today listens so intensely. He leans down over the piano, his head practically inside it, and listens to each note he plays, sometimes letting it die down to almost nothing before hitting another. As Kikuchi played through the standard’s melody, Peacock and Motian seemed to ignore him, continuing on as they had before, but sometimes with tiny alterations that made all three instruments fall into place together, if only for a moment.

Tune in this Monday at noon for our tribute to trumpeter Roy Campbell, who passed away on January 9 at age 61. Campbell was known for his versatile approach to jazz, performing as an artist of big band, bebop, and free jazz. He was born in 1952 in Los Angeles, and moved to New York at age 2. He began with piano and violin in high school, but moved to trumpet by age 15. He studied at the Jazzmobile program with Kenny Dorham, Lee Morgan, and Joe Newman, and later with Yusef Lateef as well. He graduated from Manhattan Community College in 1975, having studied trumpet and already with his own group, Spectrum. In 1978, Campbell joined William Parker's group, Ensemble Muntu. In the late 1980s he moved to the Netherlands, though returned to New York a few years later. He has also worked as an actor and music composer for film, theater, and television. His other sideman credits include Marcus Miller, Don Cherry, Woody Shaw, Cecil Taylor, John Zorn, Wilbur Ware, Matthew Shipp, among many others. Campbell's groups included Other Dimensions in Music, Tazz, Pyramid Trio, and Downtown Horns. He was a regular performer in the annual Festival of New Trumpet Music in New York.

A simple inexpensive cell phone($7/month,7 years old), with a a 7 inch WiFi tablet work fine for me. Smart phone screens are too small for these old eyes. I seldom use the desktop or laptop.

As the so-called "polar vortex" slowly releases its frigid grip on the Midwest, it's leaving an odd site in its wake: gigantic, spherical ice balls that have taken over Lake Michigan. A YouTube user uploaded video of the phenomenon in Glen Arbor, Mich., yesterday. The clip shows thousands of rounded, boulder-sized ice balls bobbing up and down in the water.?
